Alex,
Thank you for the quick response. I should have been a little more
specific. The 2 content matches will usually be separated by a
non-standard number of other information. So the distance between the 2
will not always be the same.
For example (still using A and B as the 2 separate content requirements
in the example below (all other characters are for example purposes only
and represent any info in potential payload))
ssdfvsdfAsdfghsdkfghlksjdfgkjfg sfdkjghskldfhgksjfdg Bsdfasdf
Yet the rule is currently get triggered if either
ssdfvsdfAsdfghsdkfghlksjdfgkjfg sfdkjghskldfhgksjfdg Bsdfasdf
Or
ssdfvsdfBsdfghsdkfghlksjdfgkjfg sfdkjghskldfhgksjfdg Asdfasdf
Is seen and I would like it to only catch
ssdfvsdfAsdfghsdkfghlksjdfgkjfg sfdkjghskldfhgksjfdg Bsdfasdf
Make sense?
Sorry for not be specific enough in my first example. It must have been
too late for me to be up, lol.
Any ideas?

force order requirement
Scott,
If you use distance:0 as a modifier to your second content, you'll get
the desired effect here.
Example:
content:"A"; content:"B"; distance:0;
This works because specifying a distance implies that you're looking for
some criterion that comes after another one; the value of zero lets you
start immediately after your first match.

I have a rule that has 2 different content requirements. I would like
to be able to have the rule require that one of the content matches
must be before the other, in order for the rule to be triggered.
Overly simplified example:
content: "A"; content: "B";
I want the rule to only match on AB not on BA.
Make sense? I can't seem to find anything in the snort rule docs under
the content section.
Any advice?
Thanks in advance,
Scott
