- alert tcp $HOME_NET any -> $EXTERNAL_NET $HTTP_PORTS (msg:"ET TROJAN Possible Vundo Trojan Variant reporting to Controller"; flow:established,to_server; content:"POST "; depth:5; :example-rule-emphasis:`uricontent:"/frame.html?";` urilen: > 80; classtype:trojan-activity; reference:url,doc.emergingthreats.net/2009173; reference:url,www.emergingthreats.net/cgi-bin/cvsweb.cgi/sigs/VIRUS/TROJAN_Vundo; sid:2009173; rev:2;)
