Why are our "protection" systems based on the obviously absurd notion that it is somehow more useful/efficient/whatever to detect more known bad stuff (which is a form of default allow) than simply to detect and allow only the known good stuff (default deny)?Who will you determine which stuff is good, how will they do it, and what will be the mechanism for updating that list?
Lessee... You're suggesting there is a problem here, whereas, in the current system who gets to determine that something is "bad" and that this list needs updating is someone other than the system admin or user? Oh wait, I get it -- this is _fun_sec and that was deliberate irony... You're such a funny guy!
