New filterin for the Firewall?

The details posted by Agoretsky here: https://www.wilderssecurity.com/showthread.php?t=237773 say that one of the improvements on the new versions firewall is
* Added detection for Win32/Conficker worm in firewall

BUT, as you can see from my pic, there is no mention of it on the Intrusion detections list..

 

Temporarily the rules fall under "Sasser worm attack" detection.

 

Ok, Thanks for clarifying.

 

Bump, it's been 2 versions later, I don't see the option.

 

It will be added as a separate option to the upcoming version of the firewall module which will be available to those with test mode enabled some time soon.

 

I didn't say that a newer module is already available, please read the end of my post again By the way, detection of the Conficker worm at network level was already added about a couple of weeks/months ago so it's nothing new. Once you have Sasser worm detection enabled, it will also detect Conficker.

 

Who told you that it should be in this Intrusion detections list? Maybe is there a thousand of different kind trojans or viruses, would you like to (un)check them all?

 

It was an assumption but since Marcos said: "Temporarily the rules fall under "Sasser worm attack" detection" this kind of confirms my assumption.

 

Some threat attacks are done at level so it's possible to intercept them while inspecting data packets by the firewall. For these, there are specific options in the IDS section of the firewall setup.
