Added my first blog post and my first Nmap script. Will try to focus on network security monitoring and other IT-security related stuff. I have noticed that more people then I would have guessed are sad for the closing of the OIDS project.. I'm looking into solutions for this, I will let you now if I manage to come up with something ;)

I have pushed the decision, regarding the OpenIDS project in front of me for a while now. I even managed to make a almost working updated version of OpenIDS built up on OpenBSD 4.8.
But time to finished it and most important maintain this and future releases are just not there..maybe in the future, but not here and now. And time is just what is required to keep the project going. So with does final (for OpenIDS at least) words I consider this project closed!

It has been 7 great years, some hectic, some just filled with bad conscience for not being able to release new versions fast enough, for the loyal users to use to gain insight in the threats that they are facing in their environment. I have learned a lot and I have gained such a respect for all those maintainers of open source software that I (and most likely you) use one a daily basis. It requires time and dedication.

Maintaining OpenIDS have given me the opportunity to meet so many nice (to say the least) people, from whom I learned so much, thank you for your support. If it was not for your support, the development of OpenIDS would have ceased much earlier, much earlier!

But please, come back I will most likely release smaller projects and ..yes who knows I might even start a blog ;) /Micke
