EXPLOIT-KIT -- Snort has alerted on traffic that is typical of known exploit kits. Exploit kits are pre-packaged sets of code and malware geared toward finding and taking advantage of common browser vulnerabilities. They are Javascript code that provides an entry point to a system to initiate the next state. Snort's rules look for known exploit kit nomenclature, information sent back exposing sensitive infrastructure, attempts to reach a certain file, etc. Rules try to identify the exact kit being used based on actor-group patterns, such as favored target website, malware types, and code similarities.
EXPLOIT-KIT Unknown exploit kit redirection page
This event is generated when an HTTP redirect is issued by the Unknown exploit kit. Impact: Potential exposure to a malicious web site, which could result in loss of integrity. Details: Unknown begins the attack process against potential victims by redirecting them to a different server than the link the victim originally clicked on. This signature is designed to detect the particular characteristics of the redirection requests, and break the exploit chain before a user is exposed to malicious code if the signature is set to drop packets. Ease of Attack: Simple. The Unknown is commercially available software with technical support.
