Hi malware fighters,
Helps to protect:
http://www.theseonewsblog.com/2020/wordpress-new-plugin-blocks-malicious-url-requests/
And an introduction to the problem to those that do not know about deceptive obfuscated malcoded url requests:
http://community.ca.com/blogs/securityadvisor/archive/2008/03/26/anatomy-and-deception-of-a-malicious-url.aspx
And filters won't always help, for instance , if a segmented request for a blocked pattern is fragmented in the middle of the pattern, it will not be matched....
