RE: [Snort-sigs] signature doesn't match

["Joshua Berry" <jberry () PENSON COM>]

I wasn't paying attention, sorry.  I believe that the content keyword
only looks at the data payload, not the MAC/IP/Port Information and this
would be why the rule is not alerting.

Thanks but it still doesn't work
i even tried leaving the rule like.. 
alert tcp any any -> any 445 (msg:"445 worm"; content:"|00 0E 83 63 FD
80 08 00 45 1E|"; classtype:attempted-recon; sid:2000001;)

and it still doesn't match. Curious enough, when i try content with only
"|00 0E|" or "|83 63|" or other such groups it matches. 
Don't shoot. I'm a newbie at writing rules.
