LANguard Security Event Log Monitor is a network wide event log monitor that retrieves logs from all NT/2000 servers and workstations and immediately alerts the administrator of possible intrusions for immediate host based intrusion detection. Using the LANguard event viewer you can also create network wide reports and identify machines being targeted as well as local users trying to hack internal company information. Because LANguard analyses the system event logs, rather than sniffing network traffic like traditional IDS products do, LANguard S.E.L.M. is not impaired by switches, IP traffic encryption or high speed data transfer.

fe3d is a multiplatform, SDL/OpenGL based 3D visualization tool for network (security) information, it currently supports insecure.orgs nmap and [has very very limited support for] languard XML log files.

It has been tested and runs fine on Win32, IRIX and OS X, it should also function fine on Linux.

Inside the data directory there are a couple of xml files that will allow you to somewhat modify fe3ds behaviour. Everything is pretty self explanatory, but there are some comments inside just in case, most settings dont do anything yet.

fe_config.xml - The main configuration file for the program, allowes modification of png tag for screenshots (because we all love screenshots), some graphics settings (may not work), etc.
os_info.xml - Defines the textures and objects for displaying the OS and hardware information.
