Re: Question regarding a rule

[Y M <snort () outlook com>]

Are you using a GUI or just running in console mode to view the alerts? "Usually", in a GUI scenario, alerts are cached 
and depending in refresh rates the alerts will show up. Does this happen only for this rule or others as well?

Subject: [Snort-sigs] Question regarding a rule

Hi guys, 

I'm having a bit of trouble with a rule that I'm playing around with to detect torrent usage. 




        
        
        
        


alert
tcp any any -> any any (msg: "P2P torrent
metafile download"; content:"|38 64 61|";
flow:established; classtype:policy-violation; sid:1000001; rev:1;)

After examining the hex dumps from multiple torrents, I noticed that they all begin with 38 64 61, so that's where I 
managed to get that content from. 



When I run Snort and download the torrent though, it doesn't alert me straight away, however gives me about 20 alerts 
about 3 - 4 minutes later.


Does anyone have any idea what could be causing this?

Cheers, 

Charlie
