Hello, Even if i agree with you on some points, this last assertion is (IMHO) false. As far i know, IPS/IDS run mainly with rules, a layer7 firewall knows the protocol it's watching about and uses differents solutions to check out the traffic, not only pattern matching. One i know is using neural network for example. Best regards. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Test Your IDS Is your IDS deployed correctly?
