Hi Everyone!=0D
I have an idea to share with you guys to know whether it can be implement=
ed or not?=0D
Idea is, people write exploits for discovered public vulnerabilities, and=
 infect target system which is not yet patched. If vendor release patch a=
nd client install released vendor patch or third party, then exploit is o=
utdated for that particular system. And we can write more than one exploi=
t for single vulnerability. Everybody use MS Office, Adobe Acrobat, and w=
e have a finite number of vulnerabilities in these two software, and a nu=
mber of exploits can be written based on these public vulnerabilities. So=
, idea is to develop an open source HIDS that defeat vulnerabilities base=
d exploits. Initial focus is on MS Office, Adobe Acrobat because these ar=
e commonly used software and if we are able to defeat client side attacks=
 targeting these two software, it would be a remarkable achievement and t=
his HIDS would benefit community by protecting client side attacks in the=
se commonly used software. So:=0D
1-	It will benefit community?=0D
2-	To what level idea is practical?=0D
Regards:=0D
