Question
A financial services company hosts an online banking platform accessible via a public web portal. The SOC team has deployed Snort IDS to monitor HTTP traffic for potential attacks targeting the login page. One day, a user attempts to log in multiple times, generating a series of failed authentication events. During this time, Snort IDS triggers an alert based on the following rule:
alert tcp any any -> any 80 (msg:"SQL Injection attempt detected"; content:"' OR T=T"; nocase; sid:1000001; rev:1;) The alert indicates that an incoming HTTP request contained the classic SQL injection payload ' OR T=T, which is commonly used to bypass login authentication by always evaluating to true. The SIEM, integrated with Snort, receives this alert and correlates it with multiple failed login attempts from the same source IP. This triggers an automated response, temporarily blocking the suspicious IP address and notifying the SOC team. Which detection method is used by this rule?
Options
- ABehavioral-based detection
- BSignature-based detection
- CAnomaly-based detection
- DStatistical-based detection
