RE: tippingpoint

["Rich Stryker" <rstryker () virtuallearning net>]

The thing about TippingPoint is that CERT apparently uses them to analyze attacks and vulnerabilities. Once 
TippingPoint is done with their analysis CERT than publishes the vulnerabilities. TippingPoint claims to block known 
attacks but most importantly they block the exploitation of an OS's vulnerabilities regardless of what the attack may 
look like.

I had it installed for 2 weeks and it stopped just about everything negative under the sun.

IPS vendors and the trade mags have been talking about how useless IDS 
are lately.  You might want to sniff around on google and the like.  At 
least one mag (lost the name) had an article a month or three back 
stating that IDS would be dead and gone in 2 years.
