The STATE.HTTP Micro-Engine

The STATE micro-engine encompasses the 3000 and 5000 series signatures. There are approximately 415 signatures covered in this micro-engine. The STAT.HTTP micro-engine is especially helpful if you are running a web server on nonstandard HTTP ports. Use the Configuration | Sensing Engine | Signature Configuration | STATE.HTTP Service Ports in IDM to add those ports (see Figure 7.15). Choose option 14 for configuring the parameters in SigWizMenu. For all the configuration parameters for this engine, refer to Table 7.9. Examples of some of these signatures are
