Introducing Synapse

2010-08-28 23:41:05

Some of you might be wondering why SC 2.0 has not been released yet, in spite of what was said a few months ago. Some of you may also consider that given the complete lack of news these last few months, the project would eventually be dead. The answer is clearly no, and shadowcircle 2.0 is still planned. To be completely honest, laziness is no stranger to this situation. But we can take in consideration another important fact.

When i started the work on shadowcircle 2.0, i wanted to add a super custom tool that would clearly be the distribution's masterpiece. My biggest wish then was ( and still is) to improve the interaction between the many tools in the suite, to get something as coherent as possible.

Here was born project synapse : a tool that is able to make all the tools speak together, in a VERY simple way, through the manipulation of diagrams. The result is awesome, and even if the tool is still in early development stage it's already quite impressive.

This very ambitious project took me a lot of time. So much that i decided to remove it from the shadowcircle 2.0 roadmap, and later release a version 2.1 with Synapse in it, when it's ready.

Happy Birthday Shadowcircle

1 year...it makes 1 year now that the shadow circle project has been started. At that time i wasn't ever thinking that i would spend so much time on it, and that it would evolve in what it is now. I had so much good time doing it that the journey will of course continue. Also an easter surprise is going to be made on Monday, so stay tuned !

Shadowcircle 2: blue lagoon alpha comes Next week.

When we made the roadmap for the second version of shadowcircle, we deeply though "oh, we will be way late for sure". But as surprising as it may be, this is not the case. We expected a first release for mid february, and you'll have it ;). a Few minor modifications have been done to the spec but nothing huge. Again here are the main 2.0 features: lucid lynx fork ( no more bt ) , xfce 4.6, firefox 3.5, OpenVAS 3, metasploit 3.4, nmap 5...

Here are a few pics of shadowcircle 2.0
