Subject: [Snort-sigs] Need help with Snort Rule for a HTTP GET parameter and    pattern matching.

Hello Everyone,
I would appreciate if anyone can help me out with my snort rule.
I would like generate a snort rule that can detected a HTTP get paramter. Example: below

alert tcp any any -> any 80 (msg:"HTTP GET paramater"; content:"GET"; 
content:"/index.php?action=";http_method;sid:20000011;) 
* The http_method content modifier should refer to the "GET" content match and the URI content match. So a modified 
version of you rule:alert tcp any any -> any 80 (msg:"HTTP GET paramater"; content:"GET"; http_method; 
content:"/index.php?action=";http_uri;sid:20000011;) 


Right now when I type in http://www.example.com/index.php?action=login I do not get a alert generated using the rule 
above. 
Or how to detect if GET HTTP method with a specific parameter been used or passed a value. 

Secondly, how to write a simple pattern that can detect a specific string or number pattern has been passed to this GET 
parameter. Just a example pattern guidance would be nice. 
* I am not sure what you mean here, but I am guessing something along the lines of a url query parameter?

Thanks,SF
