"Yeah great, I know its not a silver bullet! NIPS/NIDS have issues, and that's putting it lightly. I've talked about their limitations for a while, and i get either "that's awesome" or "they've been done to death". The truth is, we achieved nothing in fixing the problem. We can moan about how rubbish they are, we can pretend it's not our problem, or we can start to address the situation.
For too long we've moaned, we've made comments and done little to make them better. Vendors are making money off products we all know could be doing a better job. Here's a crazy idea, let's talk about the issues, why they suck, and this time actually do something! What is to be lost by trying something new? Let's accept they fail and instead, turn that frown upside down. This talk isn't an answer, it's a beginning. Looking at some of the common and uncommon issues faced in trying to make NIDS/NIPS better, and why we fail at finding solutions.
