PHPIDS 0.6.2 ready to use
Article written by .mario
Today PHPIDS 0.6.2 was born so we’re pleasured to announce this important release to the public. PHPIDS 0.6.2 can be considered as a bug-fix release – taking care of several minor and major problems. Among other issues we fixed a bug with the key scanning feature and extended the rules to detect more attack patterns. Thanks to Philip Clarke for helping enhance the rules detecting library based XSS.
Also we managed to harden the PHPIDS against targeted regular expression DoS attacks – while at the same time reducing the memory footprint and making the whole system a wee bit faster – and less detectable from outside. All those who wish to know more about those so called ReDoS attacks might want to have a look at the excellent talk slides over here.
Thanks to all users having contributed so far – make sure to grab your fresh copy in the download area while it’s hot.
