Hello,

IDScenter 1.1 RC1 is finally out! Check www.packx.net for more information
What's new (short overview)? The rule editor, the ruleset management, 
the autoblock system and
plugins (extract IP, TCP, UDP and ICMP which can be blocked with the 
sample plugin BlackICEv2.dll), bug fixes,
support for -w option, corrected Stream4 option... and much more.. see 
the changelog when you downloaded the file ;)

NOTE: I've released a 99% preconfigured IDS enivornment based on Snort 
and IDScenter. It uses Apache, MySQL, PHP, ACID (with jpgraph and adodb 
library preinstalled for PHP)
and a little configuration tool (EagleXconfig). I will send out a 
separate announcement.

What is IDScenter?
