Description

It seems somewhere along the way snort implemented support for <= >= for byte_test and currently VRT rule sid:16603 uses a byte_test operator in this way. We should support the same. The example rules below should all match when processing the attached pcap.

alert tcp any any -> any any (msg:"content + byte_test + relative"; content:"GET "; depth:4; content:"HTTP/1."; byte_test:1,=,0,0,relative,string,dec; classtype:bad-unknown; sid:123; rev:1;)
alert tcp any any -> any any (msg:"content + byte_test + relative"; content:"GET "; depth:4; content:"HTTP/1."; byte_test:1,<=,0,0,relative,string,dec; classtype:bad-unknown; sid:124; rev:1;)
alert tcp any any -> any any (msg:"content + byte_test + relative"; content:"GET "; depth:4; content:"HTTP/1."; byte_test:1,>=,0,0,relative,string,dec; classtype:bad-unknown; sid:125; rev:1;)
