IDS: Re: Packet/Protocol Anomaly Detection with IDS

["hibano haleluya" <hibano () hotmail com>]

Hi,

I juz wanna add some info.

Normally all standard services are already defined in RFC.

But sometimes, these services alway be attacked from intruders by using weak 
points of applications by using un-standard packet which defined by RFC.
Such as packet range in DNS query, or any packets which are included 
abnormal flag bits. If some applications get any abnormal input like these, 
they will be attacked.
Good IDS & IDP must capture non-standard packets for checking and 
preventing.

PS. May not be best describe, apologize me in advance. :))

regards,

Hibano
