Re: IDS which denies access after one "false" scanned port

[Samuel Lavitt <samuel.lavitt () tectia com>]

I encountered a system like this before, it was an IDS setup by some
consultants from IBM for a project I audited, as part of one of their
outsourced websphere systems.  I do not know the actual IDS, but it 
made the audit damn difficult, as it was also prone to locking me out
whenever I caused too many server errors (where too many was something
~50 HTTP 400s or 500s in a 15m period).  Burp's automated intruder,
directory scans, etc. were all worthless as a result.

Did manage some success using purely manual testing, mostly simple XSS
attacks though, worked well on the language selection ;)
