Hi to all!

I've just released version 0.6 of my Firewall Tester, you can find it at:

http://www.infis.univ.trieste.it/ftester/~lcars
http://ftester.sourceforge.net

Main new features in this version are:

* IDS testing option, manually or directly with snort rule files

* connection spoofing in IDS test mode for handling stateful inspection
  IDS (like the stream4 preprocessor of snort)

* implementation of some IDS evasion techniques

See the Changelog for details.

Since I can't fully test this new features feedback regarding their implementation
is very welcome :). If you think that there's something missing regarding snort
conf parsing or evasion techniques just let me know and I'll fix and/or add what is
necessary, there's definetly a great deal of work to do but I hope that this could be
a nice start.

I will also try to add the ability of parsing other IDS conf files if you send me the
necessary info.

Any code contribution/improvement is very welcome ;)

Thanks to all.

Bye
