<p class="MsoNormal">Hello all<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I wanted to introduce a new product that may be of interest to some in the area of Intrusion Detection and Intrusion Prevention;
<a href="http://www.rmjars.com">http://www.rmjars.com</a>.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Below is a small description.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p><b><i><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">Active Response System (ARS)</span></i></b><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif""> has been designed for the purpose of perimeter protection in defense of stopping
outside attacks, probing, scans and general unwanted traffic. It has been designed to worked directly with Cisco's Adaptive Security Appliance (ASA) firewalls, but can be modified to adapt to Cisco routers, switches and possible other 3rd party vendors.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">IP addresses / subnets are submitted via the console interface to be queued in the database or can be passed directly to the ARS agent by outside means of a 3rd party product; such as with Aanval's
snort & Syslog Intrusion Detection, Correlation and Threat Management product; <a href="http://www.aanval.com">
http://www.aanval.com</a>.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">Once the background processor detects an IP address / subnet in the queue, it is checked against the database to see if it has already been blocked or if it is listed in the
<i>IP Block Prevention Filter</i>. If it is not in the database or the IP Block Prevention filter, it checks to verify that the firewall is responding and then makes an SSH connection to the firewall to the post the IP address / subnet.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">This product has proven to be a valuable addition to companies whom have a security posture on their network in defense of the network perimeter. When used in conjunction with an Intrusion Detection
solution, it has been found to be a extremely powerful addition<o:p></o:p></span></p>
