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. The previous engineers had no clue, so I'm untangling knots on the server/infrastructure side (CF goes down like crazy). The current Devs, are just not trained in secure coding practices. I need a blanket solution that will work for the next couple of months, until I can circle back and help them fix their CF Code. P.S. - We are starting to look at bl.com and project honeypot's tools, and like what we see so far, but would like more input. Thanks in advance!
Hi, I don't know how suitable this is but what about an Apache proxy running mod_security? Not something I've deployed myself but I've heard good things.
