Tagging v0.11
I tagged Sussen v0.11 in the code repository today. We are looking to do a release on Tuesday, May 24, 2005. This is the first release is almost 6 months and we want people to know the project is still going. Having said that it is still in an early stage of development and should be considered experimental.
Since the last release we have stopped trying to re-write a bunch of our own security tests. Instead we are going to focus on running existing tests (NASLs/OVAL). Sussen can currently run OVAL some tests on Windows and RedHat based systems.
The NASL interpreter can parse/lex all the current NASLs. What’s needed is code to be written to execute actions, such as opening a TCP socket or making an HTTP request.
The previous release only ran on Linux/Mono but now we have support for Windows/.NET. Our release on Tuesday will have a Windows installer, the server and agent run as services, and we log to the event viewer. Just the kind of things you’d expect any normal Windows program to do.
The road to 1.0 continues. If you want to help out, come join us.
Oh yeah and here is a screenshot of the current sussen-client. The interface right now is pretty basic and it will be changing in the future. If you’ve seen LAT you’ll see some resemblances
