Well, we have a rule that fires on that initially..

21347

But it's set to noalert as we think it'll be FP prone.

Thoughts?

So an additional rule may not add value.

Well, looking at these SIDs that fired they're not so much related to
the initial landing redirect (document.location) which I feel is as
important as the landing page itself.

The landing page and it's content can vary, however, I believe there to
be value in detection of the specific terse structure of the landing
redirect itself, in this case nothing more than a document.location
statement to the 16-byte hex Blackhole landing page on showthread.php
(VBulletin emulation anyone?)

I think there's still value in the proposed as there isn't any 1:1
overlap, just SIDs firing *after* landing.  Disagree?

The PCRE is missing an escape for period in "showthread.php" -- sadly
this still doesn't make it fire (argh).

Thanks,
Nathan
