Release of Perl port PerlIDS
Article written by .mario
Hinnerk Altenburg of epublica has officially released a Perl port of PHPIDS.
It has been released as CGI::IDS Perl module ‘PerlIDS’ on CPAN.org under the OpenSource Lesser GNU Public License (LGPL).
PerlIDS is compatible to the original XML filter set of PHPIDS. During the development they have made some speed improvements to PerlIDS and PHPIDS for the use on really large websites. Their experience of running it on websites with much user traffic could help to improve our converters to reduce the rate of false alarms.
For heavily reducing the server load they introduced a whitelist mechanism to tell PerlIDS which request parameters don’t have to be checked with the expensive regular expressions if they match the whitelist rules.
They’d love to receive your feedback on the Perl port!
