I've just started with a company running Coldfusion Apps on Windows. Too much code for me to audit quickly, but need some recommendations on something we can put at the network perimeter that will sniff incoming traffic only for weird patterns.... like if a guest book gets hit 100 times in 10 secs from the same IP it will just start to block.... It shouldn't worry about outgoing, just incoming. Didn't think Snort was for this, or other IDS type systems. Commercial or Open Source (OS Preferred) will be considered. An Appliance if its Commercial. We need something quick and easy.
For the problem you specified above, you could take care of with an iptables rule using the limit flag. If your looking for a quick fix to provide some general web application protection, take a look at setting up mod-security. -- - Josh ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Sponsored by: Watchfire The Twelve Most Common Application-level Hack AttacksHackers continue to add billions to the cost of doing business online despite security executives' efforts to prevent malicious attacks.
