Customizing SNF

What about obfuscation techniques?

Some (most) obfuscation techniques are encoded in our rulebase, and more are created as we identify them. It is a very dynamic process partly driven by AI and partly by human intervention. We don't have any direct method for listing our rules - and that would also be against security policy.

The pattern matching engine in Message Sniffer is very good - but it does have some limitations - no doubt there are some obfuscation tests that can be done better in a different environment.
