    <p>First, if you are looking to create a pcap and test it against
      Suricata, let me humbly suggest trying out Dalton --
      <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://github.com/secureworks/dalton">https://github.com/secureworks/dalton</a>.  If you just want to craft
      the pcap you can use Flowsynth
      (<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://github.com/secureworks/flowsynth/">https://github.com/secureworks/flowsynth/</a>) but Dalton includes a
      Wizard/GUI for Flowsynth that makes it quite easy to create and
      test the pcap against a custom rule (or other ruleset).</p>
    <p>Second, if you want to make sure the HTTP Host header ends with
      "paypal.com", you should do a negated isdataat and use '1' instead
      of '0'; for the relative isdataat keyword, there is a difference
      between how Snort and Suricata handle it (see
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://suricata.readthedocs.io/en/latest/rules/differences-from-snort.html#isdataat-keyword">http://suricata.readthedocs.io/en/latest/rules/differences-from-snort.html#isdataat-keyword</a>). 
      So do it like this:<br>
    </p>
    <p>content:"<a href="http://paypal.com">paypal.com</a>"; http_host;
      isdataat!:1,relative</p>
    <p>Finally, to answer your question ... a relative isdataat after a
      negated content match doesn't really make sense; it will apply to
      the previous (non-negated) content match instead (or beginning of
      inspection buffer if no previous content matches).<br>
    </p>
    <p>What exactly are you trying to do here?</p>
    <p>Also, be aware of this issue -- "Negated http_* match returns
      false if buffer not populated"
      (<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://redmine.openinfosecfoundation.org/issues/2224">https://redmine.openinfosecfoundation.org/issues/2224</a>).</p>
    <p>Hope this helps,<br>

      <div dir="ltr">So, I have a rule that has the following stub:
        <div><br>
        </div>
        <div><br>
        </div>
        <div>content:"<a href="http://paypal.com" moz-do-not-send="true">paypal.com</a>";http_host;isdataat:0,relative</div>
        <div><br>
        </div>
        <div>This checks to confirm the host IS <a
            href="http://somethingsomething.paypal.com"
            moz-do-not-send="true">somethingsomething.paypal.com</a>,
          and always ends in <a href="http://paypal.com"
            moz-do-not-send="true">paypal.com</a>.</div>
        <div><br>
        </div>
        <div>My question is, and this is conjecture because I am having
          a hard time procuring the right pcap, will negating the
          content make this fire on anything that does NOT end in <a
            href="http://paypal.com" moz-do-not-send="true">paypal.com</a>?
          Like so:</div>
        <div><br>
        </div>
        <div>content:!"<a href="http://paypal.com"
            moz-do-not-send="true">paypal.com</a>";http_host;isdataat:0,relative</div>
        <div><br>
