PHPIDS white-paper published
Article written by .mario
Today we finished the PHPIDS white-paper which was created as a reaction on the CFP for OWASP Europe Conference 2008 in Belgium.
The paper includes general project information, installation tips and detailed insights into the attack detection work flow. Also the paper features an explanation of the PHPIDS Centrifuge as well as some best practices on how to work with the impact and discussion about server performance issues.
Comments on the document are highly appreciated - so feel free to contact us if questions pop up. We hope this paper sheds some light on the black majick of the attack detection mechanisms the PHPIDS features which separate it from comparable monitoring solutions.
You can find the paper here.
