New Sasser Worm Signatures

Hi Everyone- I'm testing a Snort Sensor off of a cable modem running version 2.1.1 for the past few weeks. I'm using IDS Policy Manager and using their snortrules-current.zip, which I assume, is Snort.org's snortrules-snapshot-CURRENT.tar.gz. I have the latest rules for the Sasser worm and I've noticed I have not been hit once from it. Is this unusual? I figured after reading how fast the worm is spreading I would have at least seen it hit the sensor a few times. Could it be that my ISP is filtering the worm somehow? To be honest I don't even see a wide variety of attacks on my sensor. The most common are Slammer, ShellCode NOOPS, WEB-IIS unicode directory traversal attempts and Code Red. That's about it. I know the sensor is functioning properly, if I hit it with the CIS scanner alerts go off like crazy but because I'm using the sensor to collect data on attacks it's kind of disappointing not to see a greater variety of attacks. Is there something I might be doing wrong that might not allow my Snort not to pick up certain attacks? Any feedback would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance! Alan I'm doing a (free) operating system (just a hobby, won't be big and professional like gnu) for 386(486) AT clones.
