PHPIDS » Web Application Security 2.0

Time to announce a new release of the PHPIDS. Upgrading is highly recommended since this release features several security fixes against not yet published but working attack patterns. Don’t miss the PHP specific talks at this years POC in Korea in early November to learn more about. Furthermore several bugs with the JSON mode were fixed thanks to the reports and feedback of our forum users.

Also we improved the rules against new and quite exotic intrusion attempts and managed to fix a lot of false alerts too. So all in all PHPIDS 0.6.3.1 is a highly recommended stability and security release. The converter is now even better with obfuscated SQL injection attempts and we added more possibilities to customize the logger usage.

We appreciate your feedback as usual – and hope you have fun with this release. Thanks to all our forum users reporting bugs and requesting improvements – as well as to our testers and constant contributors. Now go ahead already and grab your copy from the download area.

Update:

We repackaged 0.6.3.1 to fix a packaging issue and removed 0.6.3 from distribution. Sorry for the inconvenience.
