Safety tip for ACID users :-)

[Jason Haar <Jason.Haar () trimble co nz>]

Beware! ACID and Snort can become vile enemies at the drop of a hat.

I just noticed (via snort) that we had tonnes of hits on "WEB-MISC
readme.eml attempt". Looking at it I saw that 99.99% of them came from the
ACID server itself! 

... of course the rule matches on web pages containing the string
"readme.eml"....

So, back to running ACID over https like I always should have been... :-}
