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.
