Hackosis

Open source PHPIDS is a customizable intrusion detection system for your web applications. PHPIDS uses a set of filter rules to detect specific strings in URLs that indicate a possible hacking attempt.

PHPIDS can do everything from log the attacks to email you the IP address of the attacker. Be sure to check out the example.php inside of the docs folder for instructions on installation.

Download PHPIDS @ php-ids.org.

PHPIDS too complicated for you? Try the simple .htaccess intrusion detection system.

Many people should be glad to know that an open source, all in one security appliance exists named Untangle. Although this is not news, it is to me. And frankly, I would probably not have implemented a Watchguard if I had known otherwise. Untangle also offers a “professional” support package if you are not confident with open source solutions or just prefer to have someone backing you up.

Untangle seems to have tons of neat features, but keep in mind that these AIO security appliances WILL slow your connection unless you have some beefy equipment running the system.

Untangle has all of the features of most enterprise all in one security appliances including:

• Spam Blocker (SpamAssassin)
• Web Filter (Unknown with URLBlacklist.com
• Protocol Control (Netfilter)
• Anti Virus (ClamAV)
• Spyware Blocker (ClamAV)
• Phishing Blocker (ClamAV)
• Intrusion Prevention (Snort)
• Attack Blocker (Custom)
• Firewall (Custom)
• Remote Access Portal (Custom)
• VPN (Open VPN)

Now, to the fun part. Version is 5.0.3 at this time of writing.

WARNING: Lots of images below.

Installation from Untangle Live CD:

Untangle first boot from the Live CD installation.

Welcome screen for installation. I can see the graphic designer had some fun with the hardware unit. First warning

I think that is the shortest EULA I have ever seen in my life. Awesome.

Yes, please own my sda. Second warning.
