Great works to all the members in the team and thanks for the feedbacks. Inline with the 1.0 Release, we have also printed total 50 copies of CD labels(15 peace monkey and 35 fierce monkey) to be distributed. Here are the samples -

We will stop the development of HeX after 1.0 release, and only release bug fix version if any major bug found. We need some rest now, the next development cycle will be started again after FreeBSD 7.0 Released. We are currently planning for next project which will be announced soon.

Hi,
tested on VMware 6.0.2.

Cd is great, I found only one "bug", Silktools menu in NSM-Toolkit/Session/Silktools.

This is going to help me a lot with learning NSM tools. This is very cool!

I have one question though, is there a way we can use Argus and Afterglow in Hex, when Hex doesn't have racluster? I don't know how to output Argus data in a CSV format without racluster...

Hi Niresh,

Meet me and I will pass you one.

Hi anonymous1,

For the silktools in the menu, that's not bug. We don't put it in menu until I'm fluent in silktools, maybe someone from aircert can give me clue ;)

anonymous2,

thanks, yes you can use afterglow, it is in the menu under Net-Visual, there's argus 2 in HeX, for argus 3 which includes racluster, you need to wait for HeXtra which we will release soon.
