PHPIDS » Web Application Security 2.0

This post is just meant to inform you that there is an article on PHPIDS printed in the most recent issue of our German PHP Magazine.

Its content is pretty much oriented on the white paper we published earlier so it won’t tell you anything new unless you haven’t known PHPIDS before and just want to get started with it. For that purpose, this article should be a perfect guideline as it covers all the aspects that are necessary to install the system on top of an existing application and then work with it in terms of result analysis.

Unfortunately it was written quite some time ago and published just now, so it doesn’t cover all the cool new features that are available since PHPIDS version >= 0.5. That means you won’t find anything on allowed HTML code in user input, which PHPIDS is capable of to detect and differ from malicious script fragments since the 0.5 branch. It’s pretty easy to work with this feature though and you can catch up on it on our website. If you have any and problems or suggestions, you’re more than welcome to address them on the forums.
