the 2007695 rule for detecting win98 boxes was getting some bogus hits  
on a piece of Dell Spyware.  I have split it into two separate rules:

alert tcp $HOME_NET any -> $EXTERNAL_NET $HTTP_PORTS (msg:"ET POLICY  
Gteko User-Agent Detected - Dell Remote Access";
flow:established,to_server; content:"|0d 0a|User-Agent\: ";  
content:"Windows 98"; within:50; content:"GtekClient";  
within:50;pcre:"/User-Agent\:[^\n]+Windows 98[^\n]+GtekClient/i";
classtype:dell-spyware;  
reference:url,doc.emergingthreats.net/bin/view/Main/Windows98UA;  
sid:1007696; rev:7;)

alert tcp $HOME_NET any -> $EXTERNAL_NET $HTTP_PORTS (msg:"ET POLICY  
Windows 98 User-Agent Detected - Possible Malware or Non-Updated  
System";
flow:established,to_server; content:"|0d 0a|User-Agent\: ";  
content:"Windows 98"; within:200; content: !"GtekClient"; within:50;  
pcre:"/User-Agent\:[^\n]+Windows 98/i";
classtype:policy-violation;  
reference:url,doc.emergingthreats.net/bin/view/Main/Windows98UA;  
sid:2007695; rev:8;)

And I decided to create a new classification to go with it, since we  
can't do anything about it on the students' machines:

config classification: dell-spyware,A built-in backdoor was detected, 3

There is packet data in the wiki to describe this finding.

Framework?  I don't need no stinking framework!
