Re: Flags rule option

[Matt Kettler <mkettler () evi-inc com>]

Unlike content, I don't think snort allows multiple flags sections in a 
rule. Offhand I think flags: AR! will do what you want, which appears to be 
detecting anything to a client port which is initiated by an outside 
server. This will match any reasonable syn packet, along with synfin, etc. 
but won't trigger on fin-ack, reset, synack, etc.

Also beware, any active-mode ftp transfers will trigger this rule (or your 
original one), since that causes an outside server to syn (connect to) 
a >1024  port on your machine.
