Please judge the log in your own eye before pointing a sharp stick in
someone else's eye!
Not to flame here, but ISS's Xforce is definately in the business of
writing exploits to validate IDS sigs you create and to place in your
wonderful ISS Scanner.

        
I think it's great that products like Canvas can call b.s. on your
signatures without hiding behind the 'oh our sploits are so secret and
proprietary. 

I think you are missing the point but instead of trying to convince you
otherwise why not just ask Dave how well Proventia stops evasion
attempts. And for the kicker we don't say our exploits are "oh so
secret." If you read things like focus-ids I made a post that tells you
exactly how the evasions work. 


He can say that he has an experience and an opinion. Please treat

they have 
(especially Sinan) has earned it, but please don't place your flame
from >something that is hearsay.
        
You didn't respond to the simple "they are evaded with RPC
fragmentation" bit. Until you can stand on a technical argument I
suggest doing more research.

Translation:

Shampoo is better than conditioner!

What other NIPS/HIPS are you talking about other than ISS? Please throw
us >a few bones than simply saying 'nuh uh'. Try to give some educated
responses on why the vendors (especially HIPS department) may or may
not be >better.

What in my above statement even mentioned HIPS, I was just trying to
find out what vendors Sinan was speaking of. I already gave an educated
response as to why Tippingpoint is a substandard solution (reference my
RPC frag comment or go find my focus-ids post on evading IPS). You
haven't responded to a single technical statement, try it.

        Compared to other marketed NIDS/NIPS tippingpoint was doing a
much 
        better 
        job. So it did not suprise me much. 

        Same could be said for Determina being so much better than all
the other 

        marketted HIPS out there. So i expect to see some big
acquisition in 
        that 
        too. 

        I would personally pick tippingpoint and determina if i was in a
CSO 
        or similar position. So standing from a technical point of view
I would 
        endorse both of these products. 

        cheers, 
        Sinan
