  2. Did you RTFM? on Python Development Environments? · · Score: 2, Informative

    I've heard the wxPython bindings are nice for the GUI bits, so I downloaded those,

    Did you install wxPython before BoaConstructor? I have installed BoaConstructor successfully. BoaConstructor has prerequisites that don't come in the install package. Look at the install docs agains and figure it out. Once you figure it out write an installer helper program for BoaConstructor in Python and open source it.

    The article makes this clear: Ethereal is used by network professionals around the world for troubleshooting, analysis, software and protocol development, and education. It has all of the standard features you would expect in a protocol analyzer, and several features not seen in any other product.

    The 233 runs RH8 well. It does have 256MB of ram, a decent 3D AGP video card, and an ATA-133 hard drive though. These do make for wider bottle necks.

    I am not playing with the latest eye candy, but who needs eye candy to browse the web, read email, admin a web/email server (also a 233 running RH7.3 :) over ssh, and listen to the BBC via RealAudio.

    I think this is more like Jane from "Ender's Game".

    I was commenting on this part of the post:
    Well, maybe you can - if you wish to give up on electronic cash, the internet, the phone, a car, and a job...
    Mr. Kaczynski got caught because he wanted publicity for his manifesto. Kaczynski's brother recognized him because of the manifesto and turned him in. If a dedicated, zealous terrorist keeps a low, non-technical profile he/she will be invisible much like Kaczynski was.

  7. This is a short term solution at best on Many Tools of Big Brother Are Up and Running · · Score: 1

    Gathering this information might nab poorly planned terrorism. If Ted Kaczynski and The Snipers didn't get caught until they wanted publicity. If Mr. Kaczynski hadn't posted his manifesto his brother wouldn't have fingered him. If The Snipers hadn't taunted and called the police they would not have been caught when they were caught. If a dedicated, zealous terrorist keeps silent they might never be caught.

    This information collection scheme is more of a threat to individual privacy than a tool for finding careful terrorists. Once terrists realize how to avoid the system they can terrorize and remain anonymous.

    It worked for Ted Kaczynski.

    Try the webmin plugin: http://www.snort.org/dl/contrib/snort-1.0.wbm

    Here is a great setup guide for snort including webmin and the snort plugin:

    I have been using Snort since 1.8.3. It has not always been easy to configure, use, understand. It has helped us find an close at least one security issue.
