Matt, I'll propose a very slight variation on  200121 (but
I don't like the 
threshold numbers) for RDP scanning.

alert tcp $EXTERNAL_NET any -> $HOME_NET 3389 (msg:
"BLEEDING-EDGE Potential 
RDP Scan"; flags: S; flowbits: set,rdp.brute.attempt;
threshold: type 
threshold, track by_src, count 5, seconds 120; classtype:
attempted-recon; 
reference:url,ist.uwaterloo.ca/security/vulnerable/20050825.
shtml; 
sid:9999005; rev:1;)

While there are several sigs on port 3389 in
bleeding-all.rules I don't see 
any to catch this (and I detected a scan in cisco flow data
yesterday, I've 
seen it a few times over the years).

Wrt. the url reference and flowbits, take it or leave it.
The underlying 
issues are the same for all scans on remote access/password
services.

I like all the "Potential XYZ Scan" alarms but
would argue for some changes 
across them all to bring about some consistency.

1) we ought to make sure we alarm inbound and outbound
traffic on all of 
them (to catch local compromises and remote attackers).
Perhaps instead of 
the above we should have:

alert tcp any any -> any 3389 (msg: "BLEEDING-EDGE
Potential RDP Scan"; 
flags: S; flowbits: set,rdp.brute.attempt; threshold: type
threshold, track 
by_src, count 5, seconds 120; classtype: attempted-recon; 
reference:url,ist.uwaterloo.ca/security/vulnerable/20050825.
shtml; 
sid:9999005; rev:2;)

2) we ought to "standardize" the threshold
numbers across them all (I think 
5 in 120 seconds is too low a number for a reliable alarm on
a potential 
scan and would push that up... I like the 70 in 60): Perhaps
we should have

alert tcp any any -> any 3389 (msg: "BLEEDING-EDGE
Potential RDP Scan"; 
flags: S; flowbits: set,rdp.brute.attempt; threshold: type
threshold, track 
by_src, count 70, seconds 60; classtype: attempted-recon; 
reference:url,ist.uwaterloo.ca/security/vulnerable/20050825.
shtml; 
sid:9999005; rev:3;)
