SAM Jr released
Posted by Sam
The more I looked at SAM the more I realized that it has strayed
off course of it's original goal of being a lightweight real-time
Snort monitor so I decided to start working on a new project and
keep it more focused. The result of this new project is SAM Jr.
Some of the ideas that have resulted from the new interface have
been implemented into SAM, but only where it makes sense.
SAM Jr .1 was released on SourceForge yesterday. To find out more
about SAM Jr you can browse over to it's
home.
If there are any additional features you would like to see added please let me know.

New Site

Snort Alert Monitor or SAM for short gets a new web site look. Because we were outgrowing the old format we decided we needed something that could expand with the site. So here it is. Let us know what you think.
Documentation
Posted by Sam
I have received a request for some documentation so I have put together some quick documentation that should help people getting started. Documentation is available at here. This initial documentation is very rough (and I'm not great at documentation anyway) so if some one would like to clean it up I would very much appreciate it.

One of our (lookandfeel's) brilliant owners with plenty of help from a brilliant friend has been working on getting a real, live, stoplight to work in conjunction with SAM. There are some screenshots here and hopefully when it's completely finished we will supply some information on how it was done.
