PHPIDS 0.4.2 has been released
Article written by .mario
After a pretty long time without releases we finally present the PHPIDS 0.4.2 which ships a long awaited and heavily demanded feature - absolute paths in the Config.ini. Besides this major change we have done tons of improvements to the rules - especially to the rules to detect SQL Injection patterns.
Furthermore we heavily reduced false alerts again - PHPIDS 0.4.2 is the first release that comes without any false alerts from the false alert DB which you guys kindly helped filling with various input and suggestions. Also the PHPIDS is now capable of detection XXE attacks and basic LDAP injections. We also tweaked the converter and the almighty PHPIDS Centrifuge to ease the preparation of possible attack vectors and make the detection process even faster than before.
Our test suite has meanwhile grown to 75 test cases and covers almost any recent detection bypass to make sure no older attacks slip through due to rule changes.
The next releases will aim to ease implementation and usability of the PHPIDS and most importantly to make it more scalable on very large environments - any suggestions or feature proposals are very welcome as usual.
We hope you like the fresh release and like to thank all the people helping with testing and enhancing the PHPIDS - have fun!
