Hi, thanks for the nice efforts and the tool. But you have used POSIX regex library for the regular expression matching, why not PCRE when its both more "rich" and "faster" than former one? Also, then snort pcre signatures can be easily incorporated into HLBR. regards On 3/7/06, Eriberto <eriberto () eriberto pro br> wrote:
IPS HLBR - Version 1.0 can detect malicious traffic using regular expressions Version 1.0 of Hogwash Light BR, released march 5th 2006, brings two interesting new features. The first one is the ability of using regular expressions to detect intrusion attempts and e-mails with virus or phishing. The second is the use of lists with banned words. HLBR is an IPS (Intrusion Prevention System) that reads network traffic in the layer 2 of the OSI model. Since it works like a bridge, it stays in-line in the network topology and doesn't need an IP address. So, HLBR is invisible to attackers. Traffic filtering (including the packets contents) can be done with simple rules. Version 1.0 can use regular expressions to filter the packets. To see a example of rule with regular expression, please check http://hlbr.sourceforge.net/hlbr-rule-1.gif . HLBR lets you use rules for blocking attacks against network servers. In order to fully understand it please read our documentation at http://hlbr.sourceforge.net/ips-en.html - explanations about the IPS concept including charts. HLBR site is at http://hlbr.sourceforge.net. (Translated from Portuguese by André Bertelli - andre (a) bertelli.name)
