 We are pleased to announce the latest NST release: "v1.8.1". This release is based on Fedora 8 using the Linux Kernel: "2.6.26.8-57.fc8". Here are some of the highlights for this release:

* Enhanced the management of snort IDS systems via the NST WUI. It is much easier to setup a federation of snort IDS sensors with backend mysql IDS collector(s).

* The addition of the "WebDAV Resources" packages. This allows interacting with devices such as the Apple iPod touch using the Air Sharing application.

* Major updates to nmap and its related tools including better support in the NST WUI for managing nmap results.

* Added access terminal server functionality using minicom from the NST WUI. This allows one to manage and connect to many serial ports remotely.

* Enhanced the monitoring of serial data streams using the NST WUI. This includes detailed documentation and diagram.

* Support for saving and loading packet capture and display filters in the single and multi-tap network packet capture sections of the NST WUI.

* Added support scripts for using a USB modem to connect to the Sprint PCS Mobile Broadband service.

* Updated the NST WUI with support for taking GPS enhanced kismet capture files and producing KML output files which can be viewed in Google Earth or Google Maps.

* Many clean ups and minor enhancements have been made to the NST WUI.

* As always, the networking and security applications included have been updated to their latest version (See the "Change Log" for individual package updates).
