Hi Aviv/Pukhraj others: As a security professional and researchers, our aim is to provide more in-depth information on intrusion (security) aspects, for example, some virus out-break, new windows vulnerability etc. Aviv is right by saying that signatures should match the vulnerability, not

Sanjay,It's notthat bad as it sounds. This whole discussion was in the context of client-side scripting attacks and how commercial IPS/IDS solutions tackle them (andI am talking about the best-of-the-breed here, not confined to India). I wanted to show some disbelief on the fact as to how

Hi, i.e. I can't afford to buy specialized security tools/devices for speclialized attacks unless my company relies heavily on web/content services. So, you will buy specialized security tools like firewall or Anti-Virus, but not web content filtering tool? In our company, we established a

The code for exploiting the unpatched VML vulnerability is in-the-wild for a week or so. This was enough time for Anti Virus, IPS/IDS and other reactive security products' vendors to create a signature for the in-the-wild exploit. So, I put my hand on one of the in-the-wild and tested it using

Nice work Aviv! All of these methods, along with a few extras, are implemented in the Metasploit 2.6 version of this module. Last I checked, not a single AV or IPS could pick it up. This module should work on every version and service pack of Windows.

Hi, There are gateway solutions out there which implement sort-of lexical parsers (e.g. www.esafe.com, www.webwasher.com, www.finjan.com). Also, there is no way to gather the maximum number of exploit variants as you can. Because, by using server side scripting to randomize the exploit's

Avivra, I acknowledge the research you and Ertunga (http://www.immunitysec.com/pipermail/dailydave/2006-September/003557.html) have put up. Protection against client-side scripting vulnerabilities is the Achilles' Heel for all network-style IDS/IPS vendors. These languages offer too much
