Now is your chance to shape your packet filter! I really should submit some patches I wrote recently ....

    In the eternal struggle to stop network attacks, I was wondering if there are any firewall-type programs to enforce strict rules on traffic.

    In pf, you can drop traffic if it has options you don't like, but what about further filtering? Does anything attempt to verify that a request to an HTTP server is a valid string and not an exploit, or that return traffic is valid, and not a remote shell?

    What I'm talking about is traffic normalization, not IDS-style pattern matching. Are there any projects working torwards such a thing?
