About: SecureNet PRO is a network monitoring and intrusion detection platform. It combines powerful scripting functionality with real-time session viewing and control capabilities. It goes beyond network-grep and signature-based intrusion detection offerings, offering a combination of true state-based decoding of application-layer protocol traffic and high-speed pattern matching. It offers full IP fragment reassembly functionality, TCP session reconstruction, and an advanced TCP/IP stack emulation facility. Changes: Initial freshmeat announcement; capturing of network traffic in a centralized fashion, emulaton of the TCP/IP stacks of all monitored hosts, reassembling captured packet data for further analysis, full IP fragment reassembly, TCP session reconstruction, and packet header/checksum validation, full usage-monitoring capabilities, an advanced, integrated scripting language with multiple data types, functions, pointers, multi-dimensional arrays, etc., full enterprise management capabilities for remote administration of SecureNet PRO components over a secure encrypted communications channel, a full-featured report-generation engine, and a real-time graphical event tree display and 3-pane event list to examine network events as they occur.
About: Twin is a text-mode window environment. It turns a text terminal into a X11-style display with window manager, terminal windows, and can also serve as display for remote applications. Each terminal window provides the functions of a text-mode Linux console. Twin runs on X11, libggi, itself, the Linux console, and any termcap/ncurses-compatible tty. It supports multiple simultaneous displays, and can attach/detach each display on the fly. Changes: Support consolemap translation to display non-English languages, new program 'twmapscrn' to load translations, cleanup mixing Suspend and Detach, preliminary support for libGGI as display, new options in X11 and tty display drivers, more twsetroot options, and a new xterm-style option 'twterm -e command'.
