Re: DNS Reverse Shell sig

[Dave Killion <dave.killion () gmail com>]

The initial letter before the dash is part of the "label" (that 0x3A is
measuring) so yes - the fact you're counting 58 bytes total (between the
character class, the dash, and your pcre string) means you'll match on 0x3A
all the time.

In fact, you could probably remove the last pcre check entirely, since
doing that 0x3A check will perform the byte-count for you...
