payload

Configures payload settings. The payload command sets a numerical index pattern and offset for this WIPS signature. Payload-based signatures detect patterns in the content of the file rather than attributes, such as a hash, allowing them to identify and block altered malware.

Supported on the following devices:

Syntax

payload <1-3> pattern <WORD> offset <0-255>

Parameters

payload <1-3> pattern <WORD> offset <0-255>

payload <1-3>

Configures payload settings

  • <1-3> – Set the payload index from 1 - 3.

pattern <WORD>

Specifies the pattern to match: hex or string

  • <WORD> – Set the pattern name.

offset <0-255>

Specifies the payload offset to start the pattern match

  • <0-255> – Set the offset value from 0 - 255.
