Static in the Ether

I probably should have posted this a while back but, its still worth noting that Raffael Marty’s Applied Security Visualization has been released, and includes a copy of the DAVIX CD as distributed at Defcon 16 (davix-1.0.1-defcon16.iso.gz - also obtainable from the homepage, includes a couple of packet traces as used in the Defcon workshop) , which includes a copy of InetVis as one of their four chosen visual analysis tools on the live CD.

For the impatient some instructions are available for getting started. Now to work out what else to order form amazon so that the 40USD specail shipment fee hurts a little less ( thanks to our totally criminal and incompetent post office in South Africa)

Failing that its time to wait till the local places get round to stocking it.

DAVIX is the upcoming live CD for data analysis and visualization, which will be released at Blackhat/DEFCON in Las Vegas this summer, with another talk at VizSec 2008. From the VizSec.org announcement:

Jan Monsch and Raffael Marty and have prepared the second beta version of DAVIX. And are now seeking for beta testers that have the time to test DAVIX and answer the questionnaire that comes along with the beta version. All completely filled out questionnaires received by me until Monday 23 June 2008 18:00 UTC will enter a raffle for one autographed copy of Raffy’s upcoming book “Applied Security Visualization”.

If you want to participate in the beta test please contact: jan.monsch ät iplosion.com

What makes me quite happy is that they have included InetVis as one of their four chosen visual analysis tools on the live CD.

I’ve been paying with this since this morning and so far so good.
