Alright, so this is basically what I did.  

Alert ip !SOURCEIP any [8, Destination, IP's] any (msg:”Unauthorized TCP traffic initiated”;)

I figured out that you can negate with ! in front of the IP's.  To test it, I have been sending ping packets to the 
destination IP's from a source ip address that is NOT what i entered in the Source IP part of the rule.  However, I 
am not receiving any alerts.  Do i need to add arguments to look for tcp traffic?

Maybe something like:

alert tcp $SOURCEIP any -> ![destip1, destip2, destip3] any (msg:”Unauthorized TCP traffic initiated”; flags:S; 
sid:1000000; rev:1;)

?

Good Afternoon everyone, 

My name is John and I am starting out with creating Snort rules.  I have experience using Snort with IDS's such as 
Sourcefire and Security Onion for incident response.  However, i don't have much experience creating custom rules. 
 Although i once created a rule during one of my security classes during my undergrad program lol  Anyway, i have 
been reading documentation for how to understand/create rules from a variety of sources.  But I wanted to reach 
out to you guys and see what information you can provide.  

I have a device that is communicating with about 8 other devices.  I would like to write a rule that alerts if it 
detects any communication outside of those devices. 

Is it possible to list multiple ip addresses within a rule and maybe use an is not "!=" attribute.  

So something like: alert tcp != sourceip1  80 -> destip1, destip2, destip3, etc (msg:"Alert Message";)

I would appreciate any assistance and will continue to do my own research and see if i can figure it out on my own 
:)

Regards, 
John
