Year 2008 has been updated to Year 2009. And we hope the best for you and relatives. Just think about your health and care about your family. Because a man who does not care about his family can never be a real man (V. Corleone)

Here are some fresh news about some improvements made to security-database website. A lot to come soon:

  • The full advanced alerts is now reached with a personal user interface. The interface will be customizable with the aim to supply users / professionals with the best vulnerabilities tracking against their own "environment". The registration is fully free.
  • Internal Vulnerability Crosslinker optimized and offers better interaction with Open Standards (CVE, OVAL, CPE, CWE, CAPEC, CVSS V2.0) and vendors alerts
  • A submit tool feature added to track new softwares. The "submitted" tool is sent to security-database.com team for validation. Since its beginning, the security-database tools watch service is only tracking for the most useful auditing and pentesting software. In fact, we cannot cover all the security tools. Other sites are more suitable for this purpose. So, the submitted tool should fit the list of "categories". The name of the contributor will be also added (unless he does not want to).

Other news

  • FireCAT (including the paper and all releases) reached 500.000 downloads. We do thank you all for appreciating it and specially those who gave their time for a contribution. Many thanks for your encouragements and support.
  • FireCAT 1.5 will see the day very soon. The release 1.5 will be the final 1.X branch version. A great improvement will be announced with FireCAT 2.0.
  • SSA 1.7 is still on beta testing. We were very busy this year with our respective jobs (benjamin is conducting a security project management in a bank, Laurent is focusing into risk analysis, nabil always auditing security infrastructures). Besides, the SSA 1.6 fix is available to correct the schema incompatibility.
  • The Best IT security and auditing software 2008 will be also available in January. The last IT 2007 was a great success and downloaded more than 100.000 times
  • The AS/400 Audit Checklist will turn to release 1.0. A plugin should also be added to SSA 1.7
  • A new Evidence Collector release is under development.
  • Flyiers, stickers and some goods will be available. Many people asked us for "security-database" stickers and Tools CDROM. We will try hard to do this for 2009. By the way, the first printed stickers and CDs will be sent freely to all our friends from UK, Argentina, Brazil, France, Israel, Morocco, USA, China, Germany..

The projects roadmap is long we will keep you updated as soon as progresses are made.
