[cobalt-security] PortSentry 2.0b1 Beta released

["Steve Werby" <steve-lists@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I just got the announcement that the beta version of PortSentry 2 has been
released.  Since I know many of you run PortSentry, I thought you might be
interested.  I'm going to wait a few days and then install it on a box
sometime next week.  If anyone installs it and runs it before then and wants
to report their findings to the list, I'm sure it will be appreciated.

Hello,

PortSentry 2.0b1 Beta has been released. This version includes numerous
changes, fixes, optimizations, and full stealth-support for multiple Unix
platforms with libpcap support. In the upcoming weeks additional features
and functionality will be added to move the program beyond the original
PortSentry 1.x series even further. Core features include:

- Libpcap support for cross-platform stealth scan detection and response
- Ability to detect and react to portscans and reconnaissance probes in
real-time
- User-configurable alerting mechanisms
- Very low system overhead

There is a KNOWNBUGS file included with the distribution, please read this
file before submitting bug reports. Not all platforms have been tested so
additional help testing on non-Linux platforms are welcome.
