; 2007-06-14 Nessus v3.0.5 : Detailed instructions for installing Nessus v3.0.5 onto a NST system can be found on the [[Nessus]] page - this has not been thoroughly tested (its been verified at least once).
 
; 2007-05-30  New '''Stable NST WUI''' Available : A stable update for the '''NST WUI''' management interface is now available for the '''NST''' v1.5.0 release. This updates include many enhancements to the '''Network Packet Capture Interface''' and bug fixes to the '''NST WUI'''. See the [http://nst.sourceforge.net/nst/wui/nstwui-README.txt README] associated with the update for further details. Use the "'''System'''" => "'''NST WUI Update Management'''" page for installation.
 
; 2007-04-01 Snort Patch Available : A patch is available to fix an issue in the '''/etc/rc.d/init.d/snortd''' file. This patch is only necessary for those that have hard disk installations and want the '''snortd''' service started at system boot time (see '''P200704011''' in the [http://nst.sourceforge.net/nst/patches/README.html Patch and Update Summary] page for details).
 
; 2007-03-29 Graphviz Patch Available : A patch is available to fix an issue in the '''Graphviz''' package (see '''P200703171''' in the [http://nst.sourceforge.net/nst/patches/README.html Patch and Update Summary] page for details).
 
; 2007-03-15 New '''NST WUI''' Available : A stable update for the '''NST WUI''' management interface is now available for the '''NST''' v1.5.0 release. This update includes many enhancements and bug fixes to the '''NST WUI'''. See the [http://nst.sourceforge.net/nst/wui/nstwui-README.txt README] associated with the update for further details. Use the "'''System'''" => "'''NST WUI Update Management'''" page for installation.
 
; 2007-03-10 Skype Available : One can now add the '''Skype''' (IM/VOIP client) package to a '''NST''' system from the '''NST Patch Management''' page (see '''U200703101''' in the [http://nst.sourceforge.net/nst/patches/README.html Patch and Update Summary] page).
 
; 2007-03-09 Thunderbird Available : One can add '''Mozilla's Thunderbird''' (email/RSS/news client) to a '''NST''' system from the '''NST Patch Management''' page (see '''U200703091''' in the [http://nst.sourceforge.net/nst/patches/README.html Patch and Update Summary] page).
 
; 2007-03-07 <span class="critical">Snort Patch Updated Again</span> : Applying patches to a '''Live CD''' has proven to be difficult. We have updated the '''snort''' patch once again to better support '''Live CD''' users. However, '''Live CD''' users will also need to update the '''NST WUI''' to the current development release. If you are using a hard disk or Virtual Machine installation of the '''NST''' and have already patched your system, you should not need to apply the new patch.
 
; 2007-03-06 <span class="critical">Snort Patch Updated</span> : The '''snort''' patch has been updated such that it will now work on a '''Live CD''' boot as well as a hard disk install. The 2.6.1.3 version of snort can be found at: "'''/usr/bin/snort'''". On a hard disk install, the old version (at: "'''/usr/local/snort/snort'''") will be replaced by a symbolic link to the new version. On a '''Live CD''' boot, the file: "'''/usr/local/snort/snort'''" can not be updated and will remain at the old 2.6.1.2 version (so, if you have any custom scripts, you should update them to use the new version at: "'''/usr/bin/snort'''").
 
; 2007-03-06 <span class="critical">Snort Patch Available for NST 1.5.0</span> : There is a security issue with the version of '''snort''' that shipped with the 1.5.0 release of the '''NST''' (see: http://www.snort.org/docs/advisory-2007-02-19.html). We have made a patch available (see the [http://nst.sourceforge.net/nst/patches/README.html Patch and Update Summary] page) to update '''snort''' to version 2.6.1.3 to address this issue. Unfortunately, this patch will not work on a Live '''CD''' boot (it only applies to hard disk installations and/or '''NST''' Virtual Machine installations). You may apply the patch by hand (review the patch instructions), or you may use the "NST Patch Management" page within the '''NST WUI''' to apply the patch.
