I’ve built some Firestorm debs for x86 from the latest snapshot (0.5.5-pre3). I had to remove a little bit of verbose debug code from the linux capture driver. available here..

Ethereal ELOG support and keepalived
February 9th, 2004Tags: ethereal, failover, firestormnids, nidsUpdated my Firestorm ELOG alert file support patch for Ethereal (0.10.0). Get it here.
I’ve been playing with keepalived over the last couple of weeks. It’s basically an entire Linux HA cluster system. It does the job of heartbeat for failover and incorporates LVS for load balanced services. It looks really great but I’ve managed to upset it a few times by restarting the daemon too much. Also I’ve found using bonded ethernet interfaces with multicast traffic results in multiple copies of the packets coming out of bond0, which really confuses the keepalived anti-replay sequence numbers (Hey, I’ve seen that packet already!). I’ve reported it to the keepalived guys and will do the same for the bonding people. I’m not sure whose problem it is to solve.
