i wanted to ask a quick question ...

does anyone here use an ids (like snort/dragon/etc) to lock down their web
apps + track anomalies?

it does not seem like a common scenerio but after writing a bunch of
signatures based on mysql error codes it seems like there are no papers on
it or any advise on the approach ...

a typical example would be as such tracking down bad login attempts over
time or bad variable string formatting or submission of a selection not in a
preformed array, etc.

i dont know if it make sense to go through all the trouble but just wanted
to see if anyone here already does this approach (w/
iptables/netfilter/etc).
