Hello Mr.Lewis,

I have the Paket capture know but i thing it is some thing like an Man-in-the-Middle. There is a lot of retransmisson 
caused by changing the checksum.
I´m not that good with paketcaptureing at all so i don´t know how to white all my data out.

Greeting

Hello,

Yes.. I was looking for a sample of the traffic. You wont be able to tell if this is a false positive without examining 
the traffic and/or some of the code (its a preprocessing rule).

Hello,
Sorry for my late reply do you mean a paket capture or what else?

  I can tell you the remote IP adresses an because if i run a capture there is no blocking by snort not even an alert.

Again Sorry for my late reply.
