Easy fix for this should be to set the sql_servers variable.

Also if you aren’t running sql_servers, turn the rule off.

This vulnerability is from 2003. If you’re running internet facing 20 year old software, you have more problems than capturing packets.

Thats the rule.. so you may need to set your variables correctly.

That would grab all traffic from the host. You should be able to filter it down to only the traffic that is triggering the event. Then use that to replay back into snort and check your rules/configuration. The ports listed below aren't the defaults for MSSQL.

I did not create a capture. It has been a long time since I used tcpdump. Is this the correct way to grab some traffic?

Assuming the target IP is 10.9.5.106:

tcpdump -i eth0 host 10.9.5.106 -w /tmp/capture
