Folks,

after a year of silence, we are releasing a new version of Capture-HPC 3.0.0
beta. The new functionality is a mix of some longer term efforts of Ramon
(Connection Monitor) and myself (pcap postprocessor) as well as improvements
that resulted from the Google Summer of Code project (DB integration) by our
student Van Lam Le (mentored by Peter Komisarczuk from the New Zealand
Honeynet Project Chapter).

You can download the new version from the Beta Release section at
https://projects.honeynet.org/capture-hpc/wiki/Releases.

Capture-HPC 3.0.0 contains the following new features:
+ added connection monitor that can alert on connection/listening events on
the network. This could be used to identify attacks that merely reside in
memory.
+ added support for a backend mysql or postgress database
+ added post processor plugin architecture. Postprocessors allow to perform
actions on classified URLs.
+ added a post processor that analyzes the network data of a classified URL.
It extracts DNS information, HTTP requests and determines whether any domain
name is part of a fast flux network. Note that this post processor only
works with a group size of 1. Otherwise the network of the entire group is
analyzed.

It is a beta release and as such as not received as much testing as official
releases. I am getting this release in front of you all to solicit some of
your support in testing this beta prior to the official release. I need a
few volunteers that take a look at specific functionality:
- DB integration mysql
- DB integration postgress
- Connection montior
- Pcap postprocessor
- regression
Pls reply to me directly if you can take on one of these areas, so I know
which ones get appropriate coverage.

As you identify issues, pls file a ticket in our ticketing system at
https://projects.honeynet.org/capture-hpc/newticket. (be sure to select
version 3.0.0)

We have done some cursory testing and already identified some issues, which
are listed under https://projects.honeynet.org/capture-hpc/report/2 .
