RE: RE: [Snort-users] pcre usage for inline

["Joshua Berry" <jberry () PENSON COM>]

If I remember correctly, the replacing content must be the exact same
size as the original content being replaced.  This makes the replacement
code of limited value. Example:

alert tcp any any <> any 80 (msg: "change stuff"; content:"stuff";
replace:"thing";)

The replace tag would be able to use any content that was 5 characters
(such as "thing") because the original content is 5 characters.

Donno about pcre, but you can do this with snort inline:

alert tcp any any <> any 80 (msg: "change stuff"; content:"stuff";
replace:"newstuff";)
