Hopefully you've read the archives to know that flexresp can lead you into
a false sense of security as not all intruders actually listen for whatever
flexresp might be sending.
Also remember that an HTTP connection payload can consist of one packet beyond the initial handshake. And that one packet can do the damage. Resetting the connection after you see the signature and the packet is delivered won't help. Only something like Hogwash or another inline IDS that drops
the packet before it gets to the target would offer protection.
