latest win32 binary of snort (resend with modifications to get around various filters that bounced the last message)

["Tom H" <tom () scriptsupport co uk>]

Hi,

I've got the latest win32 binary for snort along with the current ruleset.
"C:\Snort\bin>snort -V
-*> Snort! <*-
Version 2.0.0-ODBC-MySQL-WIN32 (Build 72)"
and snort rules stable from "Mon Jul 14 20:19:07 2003 GMT  Works for 1.9.x  "

I'm having difficulty getting the 'established' rule to work for the 'flow' keyword. 
The current 'p o r n.rules' (spaces added to fool various spam catchers) file contains;
alert tcp $EXTERNAL_NET $HTTP_PORTS -> $HOME_NET any (msg:"P O R N freezzz"; content:"FREEZZZ"; nocase; 
flow:to_client,established; classtype:kickass-p o r n; sid:1310; rev:5;)

however if I remove the established, then the rule alerts for pages containing FREEZZZ? can anyone point me in the 
right direction to what might be causing that. As I assume that web content is sent back on an established connection.

The init output is posted below;

Cheers

Tom H
