Yep, that’s right, I’m going to be helping out with the Hex LiveCD project. I will hopefully be doing some development for some of the NSM tools and fixing bugs in the CD. In case you don’t know what Hex is, let me give you a little synopsis (from the Trac):

“HeX LiveCD is a Network Security Monitoring (NSM) centric Live CD, built based on the principles of NSM, for analsyst, by analyst. Besides containing most of the popular Open Source NSM tools, the HeX Live CD also contains tools to perform network forensics. This Live CD was built based on the 6.2 Release of FreeBSD, and provides Fluxbox as the default desktop environment. It also includes an installer for installing HeX to hard disk.”

I’m already working on extending the NBF (Network-Based Forensics) offline script to include support for my aimsnarf script. I’m excited about being able to help, hopefully I’ll be able to be useful to the project as well as learning some of the tools I haven’t used before myself

Geek00l will be leading the project with enhanced, chfl4gs and others all providing dev support. I was even going to wait until he announced it before writing this post, but he just keeps saying he’ll do it tomorrow

If you’re interested in the project or any of it’s details, feel free to join us on #rawpacket on Freenode for chatting! (I go by the nick dakrone on IRC)
