Description
Detects unknown or sophisticated attacks that violate protocol specifications (RFCs and common
RFC extensions).
You cannot create new protocol anomalies, but you can configure a new attack object that controls
how the security device handles a predefined protocol anomaly when detected.
If you do not know that exact attack signature, but you do know the protocol anomaly that detects
the attack, select this option.
Detects attacks that use multiple methods to exploit a vulnerability. This object combines multiple
signatures and/or protocol anomalies into a single attack object, forcing traffic to match all
combined signatures and/or anomalies within the compound attack object before traffic is identified
as an attack.
By combining and even specifying the order in which signatures or anomalies must match, you can
be very specific about the events that need to take place before IDP identifies traffic as an attack.
If you need to detect an attack that uses several benign activities to attack your network, or if you
want to enforce a specific sequence of events to occur before the attack is considered malicious,
select this option
Click Ok.

To configure a signature attack object:
Configure general attack object properties. For information, see "Configuring General
1.
Properties for Attack Objects" on page 67.
On the Target Platform and Type page, select Signature and click Next.
On the Custom Attack–General Properties page, configure the settings described
2.
in Table 40 on page 69.
Description
Select the frequency that the attack object produces a false positive on your network: Unknown,
Rarely, Occasionally, Frequently.
