DESCRIPTION
Type the name of your custom signature. You may use 1-31
alphanumeric characters, underscores(
character cannot be a number. This value is case-sensitive.
Duplicate names can exist but it is advisable to use unique signature
names that give some hint as to intent of the signature and the type
of attack it is supposed to prevent. Refer to (but do not copy) the
packet inspection signature names for hints on creating a naming
convention.
A signature ID is automatically created when you click the Add icon
to create a new signature. You can edit the ID to create a new one (in
the 9000000 to 9999999 range), but you cannot use one that already
exists. You may want to do that if you want to order custom
signatures by SID.
Use the following fields to set general information about the
signature as denoted below.
The severity level denotes how serious the intrusion is. Categorize
the seriousness of the intrusion here.
Some intrusions target specific operating systems only. Select the
operating systems that the intrusion targets, that is, the operating

workstations that run the IRIX operating system (SGI's version of
UNIX). A router is an example of a network device.
Select the IDP service group that the intrusion exploits or targets.
The custom signature then appears in that group in the IDP >

Categorize the type of intrusion here.
Recurring packets of the same type may indicate an attack. Use the
following field to indicate how many packets per how many seconds

intrusion.

or reliability. Some intrusions use an invalid Type Of Service

The identification field in a datagram uniquely identifies the
datagram. If a datagram is fragmented, it contains a value that

intrusions use an invalid Identification number. Select the check
box and then type in the invalid number that the intrusion uses.
