Rule assist

[James Lay <jlay () slave-tothe-box net>]

Hey all,

Been trying to get this rule:

alert udp $HOME_NET any -> $EXTERNAL_NET 53 (msg:"EXPLOIT-KIT Possible 
BEK host lookup"; content:!"in-addr"; content:"|01 00 00 01 00 00 00 00 
00 00|"; depth:10; offset:2; content:"|02|"; within:1; 
pcre:"/\x02[0-9]{2}/m"; 
reference:url,https://urlquery.net/report.php?id=1313067; 
classtype:bad-unknown; sid:10000044; rev:1;)

To match and it's working, but I would like to tighten it up.  Payload:

00000000  fd 64 01 00 00 01 00 00  00 00 00 00 02 32 30 10 .d...... 
.....20.
00000010  70 68 63 63 6f 66 63 61  6c 69 66 6f 72 6e 69 61 phccofca 
lifornia
00000020  03 63 6f 6d 00 00 01 00  01                      .com.... .

It always amazes me when I work with the pcre: function how little I 
understand it ;)  I always want to treat it like a content: and start 
applying things like depth: and offset:.  That being said, if I add a R 
to my pcre, it doesn't fire, which I don't understand.  I understand R 
as a pcre: modifier to match the relative end of the last pattern match, 
which in my case would be matching the |02| yes?  What am I missing in 
my logic?  Thanks all.

James
