PHPIDS - get it!

PHPIDS 0.3 has arrived!

Article written by .mario

After works of really hard work, great support in the group and the forum we finally announce the release of PHPIDS 0.3. We had some tough battles with pretty exotic XSS vectors and optimized lots of the filter rules. Also we improved the SQL injection detection and added rules to detect the current Firefox flaws. The internal converter is now able to detect string concatenations, works way better with comments (no S/**/E/**/LE/**/CT is no problem anymore for the PHPIDS) and has logic to detect basic algebra inside charcoded strings.

We also worked on the documentation and on the examples - there should be way less trouble to install the PHPIDS - if there ever was ;)

Here’s a list of the major new features:

  • Enhanced concatenation converter
  • Enhanced charcode converter
  • Comment converter and quote normalization
  • A whole bunch of new rules
  • Even more optimized old rules
  • Better documentation and examples
  • A whole CakePHP component package amongst the examples
  • Still no PHP4 support - but PHP4IDS has!

The PHPIDS team hopes you like the new packages and especially thanks Kishor, SirDarckCat, Ronald v.d. Heetkamp and Giorgio Maone for their great support.
