Netzob 0.3.3 Released - Reverse Engineering Tool

Netzob is an opensource tool which supports the expert in its operations of reverse engineering, evaluation and simulation of communication protocols. Its main goals are to help security evaluators to:

Assess the robustness of proprietary or unknown protocols implementation.
Simulate realistic communications to test third-party products (IDS, firewalls, etc.).
Create an open source implementation of a proprietary or unknown protocol.

Netzob supports the expert in a semi-automatic inferring process of any communication protocol. Hence, it includes the necessaries to passively learn the vocabulary of a protocol and to actively infer its grammar. The learnt protocol can afterward be simulated.

Official change log for Netzob 0.3.3:
