Publisher's description
From Nick Zitzmann :HenWen is a network security package for Mac OS X that makes it easy to configure and run Snort, a free Network Intrusion Detection System (NIDS). HenWen's goal is to simplify setting up and maintaining software that will scan network traffic for undesirable traffic a firewall may not block. Everything you need to have is bundled in; there is no compiling or command line use necessary.
Features:
- Drag and drop installation (no installer or uninstaller necessary)
- Includes a precompiled Snort 2.3.3 binary for Mac OS X
- Supports all major Snort preprocessor and output plugins
- Supports all Snort rule sets, and makes it easy to add additional rule sets
- Supports configuring all current Snort rule variables
- Supports direct logging to MySQL databases
- Supports ODBC database logging (for PostgreSQL, Oracle, MS SQL Server, and more)
- Supports auto-blocking
- Can update Snort rules over the network
- Can set up Snort to run at system startup
- Includes a helper application, LetterStick, which can:
- Provide real-time security alert pop-up windows
- E-Mail alerts as they are received
- Speak the alert text, or play a sound effect, when an alert is received
- Use Terminal to view the Snort logs
- Supports modem and broadband network connections
- Disk-volume-format-agnostic (does not require HFS+ to run)
- Available in English, German, and French (in the same package)
- And more...
What's new in this version:
- Restored compatibility with Mac OS X 10.2.x.
- Fixed a problem which made it impossible to edit variables and rules under Mac OS X 10.4.x.
- The "Launch Snort as a startup item" menu item works again under Mac OS X 10.4.x.
