ZIDS V 0.6.0: Zend Framework Intruder Detection System

The new version of ZIDS (Zend Framework Intruder Detection System) has been released. ZIDS Version 0.6.0 has many new features. Here are some of them:

  • define any number of impact levels
  • actions (log, email, redirect, etc.) are now plugins
  • enables you to implement your own action plugins
  • all parameters for all action plugins may be specified for each impact level or globally
  • new option ‘loglevel’ which defines the level (e.g. ‘ALERT’, ‘EMERG’, …) used when logging a message
  • define which module/controller/action to ignore. If you specify only a module, all requests to this module will be ignored. If you specify a module + controller, all actions in this controller will be ignored

You may download the source code here (Google Code).

If you would like to use SVN to check out the latest version, use the following code: svn checkout http://zids.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/ zids-read-only
