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).
This release includes some major changes since the first and latest stable release (0.3.1). It offer a better stability and quality while providing multiple major enhancements.
Some of the highlights:For a complete list of new features and known problems, please visit the online changelog available at: https://netzob.org/index.php?page=changelog#0.3.2.
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.
