Re: Could someone test a rule for me please?

|13| means “look for 13, in hex (as opposed to ascii)”  In Bitorrent, this is the Protocol Name Length field.  Which is 
always set to 19. (|13| in hex).  Then "protocol name" = “BitTorrent Protocol”.

No worries Nathan!

Joel, I'm curious to what the |13| means in the content section? I can't figure it out when looking at the stream 
content image I uploaded above from Wireshark.

Your rule looks a lot better than mine, with the extra depth which I've just read up about, so thanks for that.

Out of curiousity though, would my initial rule have worked without giving out any false positives?

Cheers

Without a doubt, I completely missed it.  I profusely apologize Charlie.
