FpcNisCategory Enumeration

The FpcNisCategory enumerated type contains values that describe the category associated with the Network Inspection System (NIS) signatures. These categories represent the types of threats that the signatures protect against.

Syntax

typedef enum  {
  	fpcNisCategoryVulnerability
fpcNisCategoryVulnerability

A signature type that is used to identify generic attacks that leverage a specific network vulnerability.

   = 0,
  	fpcNisCategoryExploit
fpcNisCategoryExploit

A signature type that is used to identify known specific exploits or a class of exploits leveraging one or more known network vulnerabilities.

		 = 1,
  	fpcNisCategoryPolicy
fpcNisCategoryPolicy

A signature type that is used to identify a potential class of exploits leveraging one or more known network vulnerabilities. There is no specific exploit in the wild to validate this signature.

		= 2,
  	fpcNisCategoryOther
fpcNisCategoryOther

A miscellaneous signature type that does not fit into any of the other categories.

		 = 3
} FpcNisCategory;
