RE: [Snort-users] Rule creation: content keyword

The content modifier keywords control how multiple content: statements
relate to each other.

For example:

depth is relative to the beginning of the payload.
distance is relative to the end of the last pattern match.

This is explained in the snort_manual that comes with the source.

Subject: [Snort-users] Rule creation: content keyword


Hi,

just one question: If I specify more than one "content:"[x]"" keyword in a
snort rule - are these content patterns relative towards each other? If so,
where does a new search for e.g. the second pattern start? At the last byte
of the last (e.g. first) successful match?


Thanks if someone can enlight me,

Peter
