    Hey loganalyzers, a new Lire software release is available for download.
    Lire is software that analyzes a complete internet server, by inspecting
    all its services' (e.g. DNS, WWW and Email) logfiles.
    
    This provides a key facility for managers and administrators looking
    not just to track, but to understand their total server activity. It
    also allows pre-emptive problem solving by enabling system operators
    to analyze system activity trends and isolate potentially harmful
    anomalies.
    
    The new release sports a completely re-coded engine built around XML
    technology, giving it both a significant performance boost and greater
    versatility in its applications.
    
    You can find the latest release of Lire at the LogReport webpage:
    http://www.logreport.org
    
    New Lire features include firewall and ftp superservice, plus a host of
    new reporting options. Lire can now report on an hour-by-hour basis for
    email and supports XHTML and RTF outputs in addition to PDF, XML, HTML
    and ASCII formats. The WWW superservice now includes requests-by-attack,
    tracked_pages-by-period, top-last_page, user_sessions-by-period. Lire
    also now detects Code Red virus attacks.
    
    Lire is written in Perl and released under the GPL license. It can be
    downloaded from www.logreport.org.
    
    Lire has a pluggable design for both supported services and supported
    output formats. It currently supports:
    
    - WWW: Apache, Boa</li>
    - DNS: Bind8/Bind9</li>
    - Email: Exim, Postfix, QMail, Sendmail</li>
    - FTP: Xferlog<li>
    - Firewall: Cisco ACL logfiles</li>
    
    New services are always under development.
    
    Lire runs on Linux (RedHat, Mandrake, Debian) and other platforms
    (Solaris, OpenBSD, FreeBSD).
    
    Services delivered by the new Lire release can also be used without
    installing the software.  LogReport offers an online report responder
    service: send your logfiles by email and get a report back. The log
    files can be anonimized before sending at your convenience.
    
    More information can be found at:
    http://logreport.org/online_responder.phtml
    
    The online responder currently only generates plain ASCII report,
    although upgrades for that service are scheduled to be completed
    before the end of the month.

    ------------------------
    Freedom is a beautiful paradox, for it contains the keys to it's own 
    undoing. Freedom, peace and prosperity rest on the investment of 
    individuals in a society. We must re-infranchise, both domestically and 
    around the globe, if we are to remain free, peaceful and prosperous.
