Re: Question about content

...1245643577AAAA
how can I verify that it contains "AAAA"

Making assumptions about direction, protocol, and content I would try something like this:

alert tcp $HOME_NET any -> $EXTERNAL_NET $HTTP_PORTS (msg:"AAAA detected"; flow:established,to_server; content:"GET "; 
depth:4; content:"AAAA"; pcre:"/\d+AAAA$/"; classtype:suspicious-activity; sid:20091201; rev:1;)

As it stands the signature is costly but you would need to supply additional criteria for us to narrow it down.  For 
example, are you looking in the uribuffer or http_headers?  Content body?  What layer 7 protocol?  Any other 
identifying factors that could add to the precision?

Note - SourceFire shouldn't be allowed to interface with the public, especially if the responses are accusatory in 
nature.  Some of the quality in VRT signatures I've seen make me laugh when they respond like they do here.  It's 
always funny to watch the baboons throwing rocks from their glass houses.

Hi,

I want to detect the last word in the content
for exemple if I have this bytes: ....1245643577AAAA
how can I verify that it contains "AAAA" at the end without knowing the total size of bytes

Again, this looks like a homework assignment. This list is not the
place for homework questions.

The answers you seek can be found in the Snort manual and the
associated README files in the Snort tarball. You need to do some work
and read the documentation.
