Remote File include (RFI) vulnerabilities

["Ravi Chunduru" <ravi.is.chunduru () gmail com>]

Hi,

I am using IntruPro-IPS to protect both servers and clients.  It seems
to be flagging RFI related anomalies for traffic going from  internal
clients to servers  in Internet.  I thought these attacks need to be
detected only if the internal servers are being attacked. That is, I
think that RFI detection is  needed for server protection.

is it necessary to check the internal client traffic, that is, is this
needed for client side protection.  Any reasons?

thanks
Ravi
