Package: wnpp Version: N/A; reported 2002-01-10 Severity: wishlist * Package name : aris-extractor Version : 1.6 Upstream Author : SecurityFocus * URL : http://aris.securityfocus.com/ * License : See below (PLEASE COMMENT on freeness) Description : Log parsing tool for the ARIS Incidents Database system
--snip-- ARIS extractor - Log Parsing Tool As an integral piece of the ARIS Incidents Database system, SecurityFocus.com's open-source ARIS extractor utility distills data provided by IDS attack-list logs to build client portfolios that provide meaningful, graphical analysis of potentially malicious network incidents. By filtering out insignificant or benign data and converting it to a common (xml) format, ARIS extractor streamlines incident reporting for both security professionals and home users in a way that allows IDS operators to focus only on relevant attacks and incidents. Additionally, ARIS extractor ensures client confidentiality through secure file-transfer protocols and optional IP address suppression. --snip-- License follows. It explicitly grants permission to modify and distribute, and for those receiving the software to have the same freedom. Is it necessary to explicitly state that it is OK to distribute modified versions? What about the advertising clause at the end? It sounds suspiciously like the old BSD license...
