Hello All,

Several things :

While i just sent a mail to Vern last week asking about the  
availability of the svn repository, i too agree with Christian,  
this access can bring its batch of problems so ...

Another subject we spoke a few months ago (if not a year) : "Netflow"  
Let's imagine we would like having this used in "Bro", how doing this ?

There're at least severals solutions :

- Getting Netflow's flows coming directly inside Bro (turning it to be  
something likes a collector as flow-tools, nfcapd, etc.)

- Use an external collector as one of those about which i speak above  
and let Bro getting informations from the data.

In security, i like the principle of unicity so the second approach is  
better for me (an IDS is an IDS, not a Netflow's collector).

So any advices, comments...

Thank you.

Best regards.

LBL is running a netflow -\> bro conversion package for internal  
monitoring. In brief, we collect netflow records, parse them into Bro  
events, which are sent to a running Bro via the Brocolli library. If  
you're interested in working with this, great - it some help,as its a  
bit of a hack. I'll be happy to share what I'm doing...

I've had a couple of requests for this code, so I'm developing a web  
page for it. Stay tuned.
