Вопрос: Где взять описание событий, генерируемых системой IDS в межсетевых экранах D-Link (например, DFL-200, DFL-700, DFL-1100 и т.д.)?

Ответ: 

Так как база атак постоянно изменяется и добавляются новые сигнатуры, то ведение подробной документации по описанием атак не представляется возможным. Для получения информации по конкретной атаке можно воспользоваться поиском на сайтах, посвященных безопасности, например http://www.snort.org

Пример:
В логе межсетевого экрана появилась запись:

The following IDS events have occurred:
Count Log message
----- -----------
2 WEB-IIS _vti_inf access
1 WEB-IIS view source via translate header

Поиск по www.snort.org дает следующие результаты:
