Two things that I see right away that you might want to try and make your life easier. from_beginning's function is to start it's packet jumping at the beginning of the packet, as opposed to where your pointer is, and I am not sure that's what you are trying to do from reading your email. Also, post_offset can confuse the novice, so you might want go make it simpler for you. content:"|MM MM|"; byte_jump:3,0,relative; content:"|AA AA|"; distance:2; within:2; From reading your email, that might be what you are trying to do, please let me know?

I have a question about using the distance/within tags after a byte_test, if that's even proper use for it. Say there's a packet that looks kind of like this: MM MM OO OO OO [....] TT XX XX AA AA ... (MM -- magic number) (OO -- offset value that points to the TTs; this offset counts from the beginning of the file) (XX XX -- 2 bytes that I don't care about) I was trying to figure out where the pointer would be after a byte_jump, so I tried to write the following to see if it would trigger: content:"|MM MM|"; byte_jump:3,0,relative,from_beginning,post_offset 2; content:"|AA AA|"; distance:0; within:2; I noticed that this didn't trigger, but that it did when I removed the "within:2" part. And then I tried the following: content:"|MM MM|"; byte_jump:3,0,relative,from_beginning,post_offset 2; content:"|OO OO OO|"; distance:0; within:3; and this triggered as well. My first question is whether this is expected behavior (or am I doing something wrong?), and adjunctly to that, how I could get a hit on that second content tag (the |AA AA| part)...
