Hi,

I juz wanna add some info.

Normally all standard services are already defined in RFC.

But sometimes, these services alway be attacked from intruders by using weak points of applications by using un-standard packet which defined by RFC.

Such as packet range in DNS query, or any packets which are included abnormal flag bits. If some applications get any abnormal input like these, they will be attacked.

Good IDS & IDP must capture non-standard packets for checking and preventing.


PS. May not be best describe, apologize me in advance. :))

regards,

Hibano

Hello Harry,

one thing I recently discovered was HTTP response splitting (known for
some time, but hey - I can't know everything). Quite interesting.

Some FTP implementations (wuftpd) react(ed) badly to LIST commands with
lots of wildcards, which allows an easy DoS.

Brute-forcing might be interesting too.

There are many others, but I'm just a student myself... ;-)
