Create a custom signature to prevent some brute force attacks

[philippe_boeij]

Hi,

Our customer asked to create a custom signature to prevent some brute force attacks.

We combined threat ID 34556 and 31708  ("HTTP WWW-Authentication Failed" and "HTTP Unauthorized Error") so that if they both occur more that 10 times within 60 seconds, then the traffic should be blocked.

Now it appears that the detection count is not taken in account and that the traffic is immediately blocked.

Config part:

id@panorama# show shared threats vulnerability 41004

41004 {

  signature {

    combination {

      time-attribute {

        interval 60;

        threshold 10;

      }

      and-condition {

        "And Condition 1" {

          or-condition {

            "Or Condition 1" {

              threat-id 34556;

            }

          }

        }

        "And Condition 2" {

          or-condition {

            "Or Condition 1" {

              threat-id 31708;

            }

          }

        }

      }

      order-free yes;

    }

  }

  default-action {

    drop-packets;

  }

  threatname www-authentication-failed;

  severity high;

  direction client2server;

  comment "http www authentication attemps";

  affected-host {

    server yes;

  }

}

So how can I/we achieve this?
