| Linux Release Details: |
| Network Security Toolkit 1.8.0 has been released |
| We are pleased to announce the latest NST release: "v1.8.0". This release is based on Fedora 8 using the Linux Kernel: "2.6.25.6-27.fc8". Here are some of the highlights for this release: |
- The NST Web User Interface (WUI), has been greatly enhanced and cleaned up. Some note worthy enhancements include:
- Multi-Tap Network Packet Capture and Management. Simultaneous network packet capture on up to 4 network interfaces per Multi-Tap session is supported. For example, one can capture network packets from the clean and dirty side of a firewall device and have the results automatically merged into a single capture file for analysis. See the "Multi-Tap Network Packet Capturing" page at the "NST Wiki" for further information.
- An enhanced Network Packet Capture Mangement and Status Interface.
- The use of AJAX and JSON to provide a more dynamic and interactive NST WUI. For example, the network interface label on the NST Start page can be clicked on to monitor that interface in real-time.
- Support for WPA-PSK wireless connections.
- Extensive tooltips and a new menu bar allowing one to quickly navigate the NST WUI.
- A "NST JavaScript Console" has been added. This is an interactive interface and library of JavaScript objects, functions, methods and properties designed to help software engineers diagnosis and develop "JavaScript Code" for building dynamic web pages. It is located on the bottom footer of every page including the one you are on.
- We transitioned from Fedora Core 5 to Fedora 8 as the underlying base of the NST.
- The addition of wireless firmware packages to support several new wireless chipsets.
- One should be able to boot the NST CD from SATA attached CD drives.
- As always, most networking and security applications included have been updated to their latest version (See the "Change Log" for individual package updates).
