Actually, both of those rules are open source if you want to look at
their source code.

bad-traffic_pgm-nak-overflow.c
p2p_winny.c

Not all SO rules are closed source.  Many SO rules are C code because
they do much more than the standard rules library allows; despite
popular opinion, rules aren't compiled only to obfuscate the
detection.  :)


Hope this helps,

More poorly performing GID 3 rules that I cannot understand without
reversing because they are compiled and the source is not released.

7019 - P2P WinNY connection attempt
8351 - BAD-TRAFFIC PGM nak list overflow attempt

Srsly, is there any good reason these are protected by closed source?
Maybe I can understand 8351 if it is part of your deal with MS but
WinNY???  And don't get me started on the SMB hogs....
