Hi,

My original rule worked out great, but I tried to create another rule that alerts me on anything that went from the 
$HOME_NET to $EXTERNAL_NET port 11830, and I obviously did something wrong, since I got about 3 million alerts in 5 
minutes... pretty much all traffic going to the IDS sensor (which takes forever to delete via BASE!)

Here's what tried:

alert ip $HOME_NET any -> $EXTERNAL_NET 11830 (msg:"port 11830 traffic outbound"; sid:1000002; rev:1;)

Thanks,
Shawn

Hi,

I need to create a rule that alerts whenever a connection is made to a specific IP address.  I've never created a rule 
before, and unfortunately, I need this fairly quickly.  Can anyone help me out?

Here's what I have:
alert tcp any any -> 146.155.47.250 any (msg:"VMWare Service Infected"; sid:2000001; rev:1;)

Am I missing anything necessary for the rule to work?

Thanks,
Shawn
