thanks for the reply.
somehow i don't think that snort is what you are looking for or really wanting
to use...
snort's purpose is a lot more involved and deeper than just watching
for XSS problems...
one would be much better off to test for and fix their XSS
problems than just trying to
detect and block XSS attempts...
While again, I appreciate the reply, I'm not going to bother going into how snort is going to fit into our organization, what we're going to use initially, later and how, that is neither here nor there. I just would like to know if anyone has made a ruleset as I mentioned, something that can detect common xss attack vectors such as illustrated by the xss cheat sheet. I'm still sifting through the Bleeding snort rules to see what all is there. If it's not available we'll develop it and can donate it back to the community in case anyone else wants it. cheers
Hi, I'm mostly interested in using snort for xss detection as part of the security for a php web app. I was hoping to find some rules that could detect most things illustrated by the well known xss cheat cheat. https://www.owasp.org/index.php/XSS_Filter_Evasion_Cheat_Sheet I understand this by no means protects a site 100% from xss :) but something that will detect many of the most common http xss attacks will work for this layer of my security. Anyway the rules distributed by snort seem pretty slim as far as detecting xss, can anyone recommend a third party ruleset that has fairly extensive xss detection? thank you!
