Folks,

We are pleased to announce a new release of Netzob: 0.3.2.

There isn't much changes since the release candidate version, 0.3.2-rc1. Notably, this version fixes a crash in libNeedleman which occurred in some cases.

Thanks to Alexandre Pigné, this version is also the first to be officially available as a Gentoo package! All the Gentoo supporters will now be able to install Netzob in a simple manner. This package has been supplied to be integrated in the official Gentoo distribution (see bug #408013 on Gentoo).

As usual, this new release is available as a source package and as a Debian package (for Debian Squeeze and Debian unstable).

We thanks all Netzob contributors:

  • Alexandre Pigné
  • Frédéric Guihéry
  • Georges Bossert

Netzob

Netzob is an opensource tool which supports the expert in its operations of reverse engineering, evaluation and simulation of communication protocols. Its main goals are to help security evaluators to:

  • Assess the robustness of proprietary or unknown protocols implementation.
  • Simulate realistic communications to test third-party products (IDS, firewalls, etc.).
  • Create an open source implementation of a proprietary or unknown protocol.

Netzob supports the expert in a semi-automatic inferring process of any communication protocol. Hence, it includes the necessaries to passively learn the vocabulary of a protocol and to actively infer its grammar. The learnt protocol can afterward be simulated.
