PHPIDS » Web Application Security 2.0

Pascal Naujoks just dropped us a line today about the PHPIDS for TYPO3. Here’s what he wrote:

Now the PHP Intrusion Detection System is also available for the enterprise Content Management System TYPO3. PHPIDS for TYPO3 comes as a regular extension for Typo3 which makes it easy to install and configure. The main features, beside the regular features of PHPIDS, are:

• Preconfigured PHPIDS for a one-click-installation – it runs out of the box!
• A backend module which shows all the attacks listed comfortable in a table
• Easy configuration with the constant editor of your TYPO3 installation

So the only thing you have to do is update your converter and filter as usual to knock the bad guys out of your Typo3 website!

You can grab your copy of this extension in the TYPO3.org extension repository: https://typo3.org/extensions/repository/view/px_phpids/current/

Thanks for the great work go to Pascal and his team. Have fun with the extension!

Today Markus Bierau finished the first release version of PHPIDS-T3 – the Typo3 extension around the PHPIDS. It comes packaged in the typical T3X format and features full backend support with own database table, pagination and maintenance features.

You just need three lines of TypoScript to include the PHPIDS-T3 and you can decide freely if you want to place it on the root page template or on any other given site in your Typo3 application. Its core is based on the not yet released PHPIDS version 0.3.3 and it depends on PHP5 unlike Typo3 4.x – we won’t provide a native implementation suitable for PHP4 here but you can utilize the PHP4IDS for that purpose if you feel like.

Markus will provide support in the PHPIDS Forum if needed. The private alpha of the PHPIDS is being used in production on several high traffic sites already so you can expect a pretty reliable release – also several PHPIDS core members reviewed most parts of the code.
