Snort is a lightweight network intrusion detection system, capable of performing real-time traffic analysis and packet logging on IP networks.

Snort uses a flexible rule based language to describe traffic that it should collect or pass, and a modular detection engine.

Curie 6 (Default branch)

Wed, 07 Jan 2009 07:26:21 GMT

Curie is a very minimalistic, tiny C library. It supports basic I/O, basic networking, S-expression based I/O, signal handling, process handling, and I/O multiplexing. If the target architecture is explicitly supported, statically linked binaries may be as small as 4-20 kilobytes; if not, then it only relies on the host's C library. The library explicitly does not provide a POSIX interface so that it may be used in conjunction with a regular host libc (or without one).

License: BSD License (revised)

Changes:
Apart from the regular bugfixes, this release adds directory handling and regular expression matching to the list of curie's features. Both new features should also have gotten proper documentation and a good batch of testing, and a couple of oddities about the graph code have been fixed in the process.

License: Free To Use But Restricted

This release updates the Tcl/Tk core to 8.5.6 and sqlite to 3.6.7. An argument parsing issue, which could cause eTcl 1.0.0 to fail when launching eTcl kits (.etk files), has been fixed. Support for arm-linux (EABI) target architectures has been added and made compatible with the Android platform.

libkate 0.3.0 (Default branch)

Wed, 07 Jan 2009 06:41:28 GMT

Kate is a codec for karaoke and text encapsulation for Ogg. Most of the time, this would be multiplexed with audio/video to carry subtitles, song lyrics (with or without karaoke data), etc, but it doesn't have to be. A possible use of a lone Kate stream would be an e-book. Moreover, the motion feature gives Kate a powerful means to describe arbitrary curves, so hand drawing of shapes can be achieved. This was originally meant for karaoke use, but can be used for any purpose. Motions can be attached to various semantics, like position or color, so scrolling or fading text can be defined.

License: BSD License (revised)

Changes:
Repeats are supported to help seeking. The katalyzer tool was added to display information about Kate streams. The KateDJ GUI remuxing tool was added. kate_encode_set_id is now obsolete, and an event's ID is now autogenerated. A problem in which kate_granule_time ignored the time offset was fixed. kate_granule_split_time was exposed in the API. More validation is done for UTF-8 text from SRT input files.
