Greetings, This is an open call for beta testers and interested parties to take a look at the Visual Enterprise Security Server and Fatum Agent technology that I (SwordSoft, me.) have been developing. It's a Microsoft Windows based Agent/Server security and management architecture that is meant to be an experimental design for integration of security tools based on the design strategies presented in the "Treatise on Informational Warfare" (As it stands, 75% of the framework has been implemented.) The information about the product(s) can be found at: http://www.swordsoft.com/modules.php?name=VES (Visual Enterprise Security) http://www.swordsoft.com/modules.php?name=Fatum (Fatum Agent) You can download it now without a bunch of registration forms and whatnot immediately from: http://www.swordsoft.com/modules.php?name=Downloads To stem off "I'm doing this for the advertising" complaints, the product may be planned for commercial use, and there are people working gratis to help build SwordSoft, but the VES/Fatum products are going to be free for up to 10 computers even after it goes final. I do want this product to be used by the majority, it's aimed at the small environments and tries and move as far away from the "expensive band-aid" as possible. Aside from that, VES currently isn't "for sale" by SwordSoft and in fact, nothing on the web site is. The program was written in a very small computing environment, so it's a big mystery to us if it can even scale past 10 computers - we're predicting 20, although in theory a PC with a gig of ram could handle 250.. Anyway, the point being its concept technology brought to a level where it needs to get out of the lab. I've written almost 400,000 lines of code into this, made over 1,000 icons, the distribution size is about 20 megabytes for the server, 10 megabytes for the Agent. With some help from some supporters providing distribution bandwidth, we're giving "grassroots" a try to at least figure out what the people in the industry think of this "concept-ware". I did my best to keep the project as professional as possible given its scale, lack of resources, and such. I was following my dream for an "all encompassing" type of integrated security environment that at least makes a genuine attempt to be friendly and easy to use. The reality behind a program like this is that it's a series of growth steps, building framework, building tools to test it, building components, platform tests, etc. My choices for tools at this time were based on framework integration, not industry need, but you'll get the idea what the whole system is capable of if you play around. I've been focusing more on industry demands lately. Anyway, enjoy. I hope you'll find it useful. I'll continue to support the development of the products; I've got no end to the number of improvements I want to make. The Beta keys don't have time expiration. They'll be fully functional for when the product is in "final" release. And otherwise, I look forward to hearing about what people think of this effort. Thank you, Eric Knight Security Researcher, Overworked, Dazed. eric@private _________________________________________ ISN mailing list Sponsored by: OSVDB.org
