Spyware rules for Snort

[Jason Haar <Jason.Haar () trimble co nz>]

...I see there aren't any. This topic was talked about last Oct, but no-one
has done anything since?

As other catagories such as P2P are covered, shouldn't spyware be added?
Maybe a different name (to cover our legal a**ses) such as
"monitorware.rules" would be better - but the intent is the same: some
networks want to know if their machines have software installed on them that
sends information about surfing habits/etc out to other companies.

If no-one is currently doing this, I'll volunteer to bring out an initial
list. Maybe the www.bleedingsnort.org rules could be a starting point, and
they could merge back into the "official" ruleset if they prove useful?
