Seth,

I would be interested in the script as well.  We will be running a BRO
box out at Shmoocon this year and I'm _sure_ we'll see some interesting
traffic.

I have a script. :)

I've been working on this for a little while already, but I'm still
expanding it to work against some of the newer attacks like the one that
takes advantage of TCP window sizes to execute a slow read attack.  The
script still kind of sucks and has false positives in a few cases (and
I'm sure false negatives as well), but I'm slowly working on getting
those ironed out.

If you'd like a copy of my script to try, let me know and I can get it
over to you.
