Thats just stupid to claim that i am trying to deceive people on the 
list for my own agenda. I am not. 

It was a joke because for the life of me I can't understand why you
would recommend something that is trivial to evade.

You can't say with a straight face they were doing better than
everybody
else in the market, they are evaded by simple RPC fragmentation, even
SNORT catches that. ImmunitySec's own Canvas CRI turns it into swiss
cheese, from what I hear. 

Yeah its probably true that they dont handle application level 
fragmentation but who else does without actually sitting on the host ? 

There are two other vendors I can think of off the top of my head. 


From what i hear Tippingpoint in its class (hardware solution that sits
as 
a border perimeter) is the only HIPS that its customers can actually
run 
in prevention mode. All others i have seen are almost in "learning" or 
"warning" or "HIDS" mode.

It sounds like you are confusing the IPS space with behavior based or
"anomaly based IPS." They are two different things.

What other NIPS/HIPS vendors are you speaking of? As far as I know
Willy
Wonka got his Ompalompa's on spyware research now so the list of NIPS
that tippingpoint is better than has dropped a bit.

why dont you give us a sales pitch of your dear product so that we can
all 
kick back and chill ... 

I will right after you tell me what Tippingpoint is better at doing than
other vendors?

Who knew PCRE was worth that much?

Compared to other marketed NIDS/NIPS tippingpoint was doing a much
better 
job. So it did not suprise me much.

Same could be said for Determina being so much better than all the
other

marketted HIPS out there. So i expect to see some big acquisition in
that 
too. 

I would personally pick tippingpoint and determina if i was in a CSO 
or similar position. So standing from a technical point of view I
would 
endorse both of these products.

cheers,
Sinan
