Hi q, if you happen to know which IDS was in between, please do let us know. it seems to be a good one :).. kidding well... as being suggested by Todd, you can try SSL assuming there is NIDS. but if its a HIDS (running on the target machine), this method will fail. coming to your original question, u r trying to do something that every hacker/cracker die to do (probably without putting that much efforts that they r putting). so.. if u r authorized to do this pentest against some web server and if u have a static IP, u can always ask administrator to not to block your IP. -sanjay On Thu, May 29, 2008 at 9:35 AM, Todd Haverkos <fsbo () haverkos com> wrote:

Since AppScan doesn't have any kind of IDS evasion (AFAIK), what could I do?In addition to the other good suggestions, I'm not sure I saw anyone mention use of SSL, if the application/site listens on both 80 and 443, use of 443 can make your activities opaque to network IPS.... By their nature web automatic application scanners are far from stealthy. The things they try are very easy to detect with IPS. In order to evade IDS, leveraging encryption would be your best hope, pruning down the scan rate dramatically is something to try while keeping your expectations low, as well as pruning the heck out of the test set. Good luck!
