Chapter 25      Using Application Layer Preprocessors
  Decoding HTTP Traffic
IIS Backslash Obfuscation
Normalizes backslashes to forward slashes.
You can enable rule 119:9 to generate events for this option. See 
 for 
more information.
Directory Traversal
Normalizes directory traversals and self-referential directories. If you enable the accompanying 
preprocessor rules to generate events against this type of traffic, it may generate false positives 
because some web sites refer to files using directory traversals.
You can enable rules 119:10 and 119:11 to generate events for this option. See 
 for more information.
Tab Obfuscation
Normalizes the non-RFC standard of using a tab for a space delimiter. Apache and other non-IIS 
web servers use the tab character (0x09) as a delimiter in URLs.
Note
Regardless of the configuration for this option, the HTTP Inspect preprocessor treats a tab 
as white space if a space character (0x20) precedes it.
You can enable rule 119:12 to generate events for this option. Se
for more information.
Invalid RFC Delimiter
Normalizes line breaks (\n) in URI data.
You can enable rule 119:13 to generate events for this option. Se
for more information.
Webroot Directory Traversal
Detects directory traversals that traverse past the initial directory in the URL.
You can enable rule 119:18 to generate events for this option. Se
for more information.
Tab URI Delimiter
Turns on the use of the tab character (0x09) as a delimiter for a URI. Apache, newer versions of IIS, 
and some other web servers use the tab character as a delimiter in URLs.
Note
Regardless of the configuration for this option, the HTTP Inspect preprocessor treats a tab 
as white space if a space character (0x20) precedes it.
Non-RFC characters
Detects the non-RFC character list you add in the corresponding field when it appears within 
incoming or outgoing URI data. When modifying this field, use the hexadecimal format that 
represents the byte character. If and when you configure this option, set the value with care. Using 
a character that is very common may overwhelm you with events.
You can enable rule 119:14 to generate events for this option. Se
for more information.
