DAVIX 1.0.1 Officially Launched

After months of building and testing, the long anticipated release of DAVIX – The Data Analysis & Visualization Linux® – arrived last week during Blackhat/DEFCON in Las Vegas. It is a very exiting moment for me and I am curious to see how the product is received by audience. So far the ISO image has been downloaded at least 600 times from our main distribution server. Downloads from the mirrors are not accounted.

Additionally, Raffael Marty’s book Applied Security Visualization is now available in print. DAVIX was built with this particular book in mind. If you are looking for a methodology and not just a workable tool set, then the book is what you are looking for. The book covers all steps from the very basics to complete case studies and contains many hands-on examples. Therefore, the book together with DAVIX 1.0.1 is the perfect match for getting you started with security visualization. For a preview of the book’s content check out the rough cuts version.

All those eager to get their hands dirty immediately can find a description as well as the download links for the DAVIX ISO image on the DAVIX homepage. I wish you happy visualizing!
