December has been a busy month until now and probably will continue like this…
But today is Christmas, a good day to give some new packages to my visitors

And last week version 2.9.0.3 of snort, the Intrusion Detection software, and version 0.5 of daq, the [...]

I already submitted the new SlackBuilds for the server product and the webaccess module to SlackBuilds.org and uploaded the packages to my site.
The third Beta release for LibreOffice 3.3.0 happened about a week ago, but only now I had some time to resubmit the SlackBuilds and create the packages.

The beginning of this month a new version of Snort was released – 2.9.0.1. The companion Data Acquisition library (daq) was also upgraded to version 0.3.
I updated my SlackBuilds and installed the new versions on my server. I waited a bit before releasing the packages as there had been some reports on a new “Unknown [...]
Work continues on my little hex-editor…
Although a lot still needs to be done, I decided to release a second alpha version, as the first one has been downloaded quite a few times already.
This second test version brings:
A “find” function (still not the way I want it, but for now it’s working)
“Goto” to jump directly to [...]
After my post about the “Unknown record type 104″ problem in Barnyard2, I received several e-mails recently about a new error that started popping up:
