[NTLUG:Discuss] EasyIDS 0.4 Released

[CoryC]

Most of you have probably heard me mention EasyIDS at the meetings some time or another and some of you got to see it when I did a practice presentation on it earlier this year. I finally got everything worked in that I wanted to and released it last night. Thanks to those of you that provided me with feedback and answered my questions along the way. 

For those of you that might not be familiar with EasyIDS, it is a customized CentOS install cd for intrusion detection system configured using Snort.

Here is our official announcement:

"EasyIDS 0.4 released!
After many late nights and long weekends we are pleased to announce that 0.4 is now available for download. This release includes many new web features and scripts to make management of your EasyIDS system even easier. Special thanks to Sourcefire for allowing us to include a more current Snort ruleset in the distribution. 0.4 is a beta release and we would appreciate feedback and suggestions. You can see the new screenshots here (http://www.skynet-solutions.net/easyids/screenshots.asp) and you can see the changelog here (http://www.skynet-solutions.net/easyids/changelog.asp).

We are working on scripts to help with the upgrade from 0.3 and will be upgrading the documentation as soon as we can. Additionally, we hope to soon offer a few hardware products for use with EasyIDS. And finally, we have also launched our own forums (http://forums.skynet-solutions.net) to provide a central location for support and community discussions. "

Thanks again,

Cory
