v18 - WAF Patterns are not used anymore? How can the WAF patterns update?

lferrara

In the new version, under "Pattern Updates" the WAF is not in the list anymore. Can you describe how the WAF patterns are updated?

Thanks

    I hope that is not the case as I am a big fan of modsecurity (WAF). Granted its a little hard to configure on the front end than a simple proxy while augmenting it with IPS but I find the reliability of modsecurity far greater than ANY IPS engine which WILL drop packets under heavy load.

    You misunderstand; I meant that the pattern files with WAF are in the same bundle for updates -- not that the WAF engine is gone, etc.  Based on what Lucar says here I think that is the case, they just changed how they bundle the pattern updates.
