Hi Christian,

Thanks, that’s a nice torrent of mail you sent there! :) I’ll have time to look 
at the rules next weekend, although maybe I’ll sneak in a few replies before 
that.

Before making a good judgement call on SQLi and XSS related rules, I still need 
to know a bit more about libinjection.

We should recommend moving a rule into paranoia if its cost is too high 
relative to its benefit.
But, for SQLi and XSS rules, this depends on libinjection, which I haven’t 
really exercised yet.

If libinjection in itself already has a high sensitivity, the benefits of the 
regexp based rules will become lower. After all, an attack will then likely 
already be flagged without those rules. In that case, we could move rules from 
normal to paranoid mode, or dismiss currently removed rules, much more easily.

I don’t quite have a good feel about this factor yet, so I really want to 
launch some tests against it, but it will probably be Saturday before I have 
the time to do that.

Cheers!
WH
