The Presentation

Bayesian text classifiers have long been been successful in the fight against email SPAM. Why can't these same methods be used to help prevent against web-based attack payloads? This talk will demonstrate a working bayesian analysis system within the ModSecurity open source web application firewall which uses the Lua API to both classify and test payloads to identify attacks.
