Operation: Don't Tell Lurene We're Working On This
Summary: Cisco Talos's Sourcefire team said it is setting aside time to research edge-case detection needs that are mostly CPU-intensive and hard to run at line speed in the Snort engine. The team recommends writing SO rules on a dedicated IDS sensor, prototyping detection without concern for performance impact, and notes it may never release code for these items.
Bottom line: The requests come mostly from organizations with established security teams and strong reverse engineering and forensics skills, seeking detection tuned to their own environment and the threat it faces - a capability the team says it may never ship code for.
