Welcome to the AAFID2 v0.10 distribution. AAFID(tm) is a distributed monitoring and intrusion detection system that employs small stand-alone programs (Agents) to perform monitoring functions in the hosts of a network. AAFID uses a hierarchical structure to collect the information produced by each agent, by each host, and by each set of hosts, to be able to detect suspicious activity. We thank you for trying this software, we hope you enjoy using it, and we encourage you to send us feedback in the form of questions, bug reports, contributed code, flames, etc. Please send them to aafid-feedback@cs.purdue.edu. There is also a mailing list for AAFID users. See the file MAILLIST for information. This is the second public distribution (where public means "outside of the CERIAS and project sponsors") of the AAFID2 prototype, numbered v0.10. As such, it is sure to contain problems, both small and big. Again, any feedback is encouraged and appreciated. There are many features missing from this prototype. Some of them are documented in the file PROBLEMS. Feedback in this respect is also welcome to the same address listed above. Please see the INSTALL file for installation instructions. There is not much else to say. Please see the doc/ subdirectory for documentation.
