RWH: Another SourceForge member (datta_sid) suggested that we add the OSSIM ( http://www.ossim.net ) package to the NST distribution. It looks like a nice "pull everything together" tool. We should see how difficult it would be to add it to the distribution (and how much effort is required to

configure it).

Task To Be Done

After 2.11.0 Release

RWH: Evaluate Cacti (http://cacti.net/) to the distro (snmp graphing).

RWH: Check out the web based interface to NAT connections package: http://software.inl.fr/trac/trac.cgi/wiki/pynetfilter_conntrack At Site: http://software.inl.fr/trac/trac.cgi/wiki See Demo at: http://demo.edenwall.com/conntrack/

RWH: Look at SSLdump? (from Tracker)

RWH: http://cricket.sourceforge.net/ is a wonderful front end for Tobi's RRD (which is the next-gen MRTG) and would (imho) be a valuable addition to NST. If Cricket isn't deemed right, there are a variety of similar tools @ http://people.ee.ethz.ch/~oetiker/webtools/mrtg/links.ht ml (not to mention all the RRD tools a Google search might find, like ganglia?)

RWH: IPPLAN is the best by far TCP IP address management software and tracking tool, it also extends to do DNS administration (forward and reverse zones, import existing zones via zone transfer), configuration file management, circuit management (customizable via templates) and storing of hardware information (customizable via templates).
