PHPIDS 0.5.1 for your pleasure
Article written by .mario
Finally the next release of the PHPIDS has arrived - meanwhile at 0.5.1.
We fixed a lot of minor bugs and added a whole bunch of new conversion features for more or less esoteric attack vectors. The very interesting issues Gareth Heyes found some days ago are no longer a danger for PHPIDS users - as well as the pretty ugly XSS DoS attempts possible in Firefox 3. Also the WYSIWYG attack detection has been improved and should provide way more reliability combined with less false alerts.
The filter rules now have IDs - which you can of course access with a getter in the filter object. Thanks to the collaboration with epublica the filter rules have now even better compatibility with Perl regular expressions and other dialects.
Besides the addition of the ID-getter we had no API changes - so an upgrade shouldn’t be a problem at all. We hope you like the new release and provide us with tons of feedback as usual. Stay tuned - the next weeks will be pretty packed with news about collaborations with other security solutions.

Thanks for this awesome software guys,
I hope that your work is eventually integrated into the underlying PHP environment so that every PHP program is automagically protected.
I have just written a patch to integrate PHP-IDS 0.5.1 into PHPRecipeBook as an Intrusion Prevention choke; http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=2011583&group_id=65127&atid=509888
Thanks again for the great work!
