You do not need to escape a colon in a content. On 01/13/2010 02:48 PM, Paul Schmehl wrote:I always run snort -T -c /blah/foo/snort.conf after writing a new rule or altering an existing rule. Snort was running happily along without a complaint with the colons not escaped. (It also doesn't complain when they *are* escaped, but that would be expected behavior.) --On Wednesday, January 13, 2010 12:24:07 -0600 Joel Esler <jesler () sourcefire com> wrote:Did you run Snort in -T and see if it chokes on it?

Source port is 80. So I wrote this rule: alert tcp $EXTERNAL_NET 80 -> $HOME_NET any (msg:"Bredolab server ack"; flow:from_server,established; content:"Server: gws"; content:"X-Powered-By: P HP"; content:"+lenny4"; classtype:trojan-activity; sid:1000172; rev:1;) But it never triggered (even though the first rule continues to). So I altered it thus: alert tcp $EXTERNAL_NET 80 -> $HOME_NET any (msg:"Bredolab server ack"; flow:from_server,established; uricontent:"Server: gws"; uricontent:"X-Powered-By: P HP"; uricontent:"+lenny4"; classtype:trojan-activity; sid:1000172; rev:2;) But it still didn't trigger, so I altered it again: alert tcp $EXTERNAL_NET 80 -> $HOME_NET any (msg:"Bredolab server ack"; uricontent:"Server: gws"; uricontent:"X-Powered-By: PHP"; uricontent:"+lenny4"; classtype:trojan-activity; sid:1000172; rev:3;) But it still didn't trigger, so I altered it yet again: alert tcp $EXTERNAL_NET 80 -> $HOME_NET any (msg:"Bredolab server ack"; content:"Server: gws"; content:"X-Powered-By: PHP"; content:"+lenny4"; classtype:trojan-activity; sid:1000172; rev:4;) It still doesn't trigger.
