Default user-agent trips IDS tools

white-glider opened this issue · 0 comments

The default user-agent used by curl inadvertently triggers intrusion detection tools (e.g. Snort) which might end up temporarily blocking the access to the target URL.

The fix is simple though: in the config.sh file change CURL_UA=Mozilla to CURL_UA=Mozilla/5.0. Just append "/5.0" and it should be good to go.
