Bro signature for detecting hosts infected with "Witty"

Here's a signature to detect the Witty worm that's going around today:

	signature witty-worm {
	  header udp[0:2] == 4000
	  payload /.*insert witty message here/
	  event "Source infected with Witty"
	}

If you put that in "witty.sig" then the appended script will generate
RemoteWittyInfectee for non-local infected hosts and LocalWittyInfectee
for local ones.
