What is fast becoming a ROFL topic for me I am calling "Totally ridiculous and laughable articles about web app firewalls written by web app firewall vendors" I had to forward this classic on so others can enjoy the fun and laugh. There are too many Monty Python sketches that could come from this stuff. http://www.computerworld.com/securitytopics/security/story/0,,97573, 00.html Encrypt all the cookie names, yeah that'll stop the hackers. Cloaking, yeah that sounds like a good word. Yeah cloak, re-write all URL's that a great idea. Precision matching of data objects. For example, credit card numbers should be tested for validity before real-time action is taken. Yeah totally pragmatic and realistic idea. An application security solution must detect and defeat all forms of zero-day attacks. Phew, now I have more than just a few hundred reasons for not buying your stuff, your telling me not too. This is getting to the stage of needing a Snake Oil FAQ. When is this going to stop .....please. Bring back the dead parrot. Its not a dead parrot...its just resting ;-) Concerned about your privacy?
