Pernah dapat. Daripada gaya bahasanya penuturnya *macam* agak fasih
berbahasa Melayu. Kalau guna alatan terjemah pun mesti dah diedit.

False positive alert maksudnya amaran yang salah/silap.

That's why we need to calibrate IDS. Initially IDS need to run in test mode and monitor the alert it produces and justify which one is true or false positive so you can disable the alert. False positive alarm WILL raise no matter how secure your network is because of web applications or non-standard communication protocols. If you want to see what I mean, setup a standard snort gateway and open www.bharian.com.my within your client and snort will warn you that bharian is trying to hijack your connection, and this is an example of false positive alert.

Post Script: IDS is not plug and play system

Tch. I don't know who these nutcases are trying to fool but I'm sure any
Malaysian who got even a D in BM will know that the sentence structure and
grammar used in the email are either wrong or weak and that indicates that
the writer either (i) used a translator (online or dictionary) or (ii) used
an Indonesian accomplice to write that email or (iii) is an Indonesian.

What gives it away?

Batu mulia = batu permata. The problem is - we don't use the term "batu
mulia" to describe gemstones in Malaysia. It's either straightforward 'batu
permata' for generic descriptions or straightforward accurate descriptors
i.e. berlian, zamrud, delima, akik, dan sebagainya. Even if there are, I'm
pretty certain that it's rare or very uncommon. Go ahead and google the term
& you'll find the websites are either based in Indonesia or operated by one.

*shakes head*

batu mulia seems like holystone.

most of these scams prey on social behavior : in this case what some people call the 3 'ta's = wanita, harta, takhta

in this case, the email is
1. 'sent' by an alluringly named female (wanita)
2. 'claims' to someone in authority (takhta)
3. 'promises' the reader 'wealth' (harta)

it works like a charm to those middle aged people (in their late 30s and early 40s) who feels they are 'stuck' married with a fat spouse and screaming kids. working for a 'heartless' boss, with credit card debts creating a noose around their necks (keliling pinggang).

maybe someone on this list can create an algorithm based on these 3 'ta's ;p

Talking about scam email, I DID received a snail mail from Portugal and
the content of that particular letter is similar with most of the
phising emails that I received on daily (almost) basis. I'll do some
posting about that later in my (long abandoned)blog since there are few
peculiar items that make me aware on the main purpose of the mail. (Just
for a second I thought I'm going to be a millionaire HAHAHA.. naah just
kidding.

Anyway regarding the false positive thingy. Mr Harpizi may I know how do
you validate/verify that particular alert message? Because first of all
we need to understand/identify why that particular alert triggered. What
are the characteristics of the network packets that matches its rules?
And what kind of IDS that u used? Last and not least sir, you need to
know also the TCP hijack scenario or condition..

Well that's my piece ;)
