The Open Web Application Security Project (OWASP) are pleased to annouce
the imminent availability of CodeSeeker, an Application Level Firewall
and Intrusion Detection System (AFWIDS) for Linux, Win32 and Solaris.

CodeSeeker was donated to OWASP on November 19th by Butterfly Security.
The Butterfly Security team will be continuing to manage this project
and developing and enhancing Codeseeker as a community effort at OWASP.
CodeSeeker is GPL and copyrighted to the FreeSoftware Foundation
ensuring that it will always remain truly open source and free to
everyone. This is a truly altruistic donation by Butterfly Security and
we can¢t thank them all enough

CodeSeeker is written in Java and C/C++. It intercepts HTTP traffic off
the stack (immediately after its been decrypted by SSL if its HTTPS),
and applies a set of security rules to determine if the traffic is
legitimate or malicious. CodeSeeker can either sit in a passive mode
simply alerting your console of attacks (IDS) or in an active mode
blocking traffic (firewall). You can see screenshots at

Version 1.0 beta will be made available to developers and beta testers
in December. If you are interested in joining this project as a
developer and have Java or C skills then please join the CodeSeeker
mailing list and introduce yourself.
