New Beta Site Live

Thanks to more excellent, all-volunteer work of our developer Sharri Parsell, I am happy to notify you that a beta demo of OpenPacket.org is now available at

http://beta.openpacket.org:8080/

Thank you also to JJC of www.redsphereglobal.com for providing free temporary hosting. We are working on a more permanent solution, but if you have ideas now please let me know.

Please take a look and report feedback to the openpacket-devel@lists.sourceforge.net mailing list.

This site is considered "beta," and we are getting closer to public announcements of the site. If you are interested in assessing the security of the site, please contact me directly. We can coordinate with Sharri and JJC to ensure your discoveries do not catch us by surprise.

New Alpha Site Live

Thanks to the excellent, all-volunteer work of our developer Sharri Parsell, I am happy to notify you that an alpha demo of OpenPacket.org is now available at Sharri's temporary site:

http://openpacket.spaceegg.net/

Please take a look and report feedback to the openpacket-devel@lists.sourceforge.net mailing list.

This site is considered an "alpha" because we are still working on functionality, administration, appearance, and so on. If you are interested in assessing the security of the site, please contact me directly. We can coordinate with Sharri to ensure your discoveries do not catch us by surprise.

OpenPacket.org Developments

I am happy to report that work on OpenPacket.org is back on track, thanks to a new volunteer Web application developer.

Several months ago Richard Fifarek put me in touch with his friend Sharri Parsell. She read the requirements document I wrote last year and discussed the project with me.

Today she showed me a pre-alpha version based on our discussions over the last few months. I was very impressed and we plan to have an alpha ready for review by openpacket-devel list members within the next two weeks. I've also contacted a few guys I trust who perform Web app assessments to review the site prior to general public availability.

If development stays on track we plan to have a beta available for the public prior to Black Hat at the end of this month.

Stay tuned to this mailing list and/or the OpenPacket.org Blog for more developments.

Thank you especially to Sharri for volunteering to do this work and getting us close to public availability!

Sincerely,

Richard
