And I would argue that "no iis" here isn't a valid FP. The signature performed correctly and notified you that a scan attempt was under way. It is up to the system admin to correctly suppress/disable/modify rules that do not target his network. In our view, a FP only occurs when network traffic triggers an alert that is specifically NOT traffic that the rule was intended to fire on. The rules are application/server agnostic (some wiggle room in this comment both currently and in the future) they are solely based on the traffic on the wire.and, again, the point being, you need to allow idiots to mark it a fp in a way that will not affect reliability stats.
been doing this for 5 years with email, I really do know it matters.lusers are idiots. management won't allow bofh's anymore, so, you allow them to click a useless button.
