A Packet a Day
Not traveling this week, I got a bit extra time and decided to put up a couple "packet challenges". If you are following me on twitter, you may have already seen them. If not... here they are:
First one (with solution): http://johannes.homepc.org/packet1.txt
The second one (posted yesterday): http://johannes.homepc.org/packet.txt (I think I only got one decent answer for it so far, so I will keep it up a bit longer...)
A third one will be posted later today. And BTW... got packets? We always like good and interesting packets.
update: just made the new challenge live. again at http://johannes.homepc.org/packet.txt

It has 0010 hex as the DNS Flags
flags: 0010
Query / Response flag: 0 - it's a query
Opcode: 0 - standard query (4 bits)
Authoritative answer: no... its a query
Truncation flag: no... its a query
Recursion Desired: yes!
Zero: 3 bits.. always zero

The above write up of the flags indicates that flags should be 0100.
They have bit five set which should always be a zero.
They have Recursion desired: yes This would be bit nine, not bit five.

This appears to be MyDoom malware UPX packet being spread/sent via email.
The Snort signature triggered incorrectly in this case because it triggered on the BASE64 string AAAAAAAAAA not an actual OP inc ecx NOOP call.
Quick analysis:
