If you have a packet, that's the best way for us to help troubleshoot your
rule. Note that you don't have to turn _ into |5F| in your content match.

 Good afternoon,



I captured a packet in wire shark to capture showing passwords being sent
in clear text so want to create an alert for this but having some issues.



In the packet it’s got HTML Form URL encoded and then the various form
fields which one of these is Form Item: “j_password”



My rule is:



alert tcp $HOME_NET any -> $EXTERNAL_NET 80 (msg:""; flow:to_server;
content:"POST"; http_method; content:"j|5f|password"; nocase; sid:1000000;
rev:1;)



I am new to rule writing so sure that above probably isn’t the best way to
go about it but it’s not triggering.



Any ideas?



Thanks
