PR: Binary Visions Releases Link Logger Version 2 Firewall Logging Tool
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Binary Visions Releases Link Logger Version 2 Firewall Logging Tool CALGARY, Alberta, Feb. 3, 2004 -- Hackers and worms and viruses... oh, my. Users of Linksys, Netgear and ZyXEL routers and firewalls are safer than the average Windows user, but most still don't know just how much activity their firewalls are blocking -- or where their weaknesses are. Fortunately, Binary Visions has just released the beefed-up Version 2 of its Link Logger (www.linklogger.com) firewall logging tool, allowing users to centrally monitor all systems on a network. Updated in response to customer feedback, Link Logger sports a number of new features. Improvements over previous versions of Link Logger include online updates and alerts; daily scheduled database maintenance; WhoIs lookups; the ability to send messages; improved reports and traffic graphs, and more. The software, which is used extensively by large corporations, educational facilities, security experts, government organizations, small businesses, non-profits and home users, continues to provide real-time monitoring of all inbound and outbound network traffic, port and IP traffic alarms, full traffic analysis, user-friendly interface, and the industry-leading support Link Logger fans have always appreciated. And, as with previous versions, Link Logger is available as a free 14-day trial. "I wouldn't have believed how many hack attempts are made on my Linksys -- from all over the world, too," wrote one user. "I really like being able to know who's doing that by using Link Logger." The detailed traffic monitoring functions and reports give Link Logger an edge over its competition. Users can easily see who is scanning their systems, what traffic the firewall is blocking and what weaknesses are being targeted -- all in real time. Link Logger also routinely monitors for virus infections and network problems, making it a good choice for those who want a comprehensive approach to network security. Parents and companies enjoy one more benefit with Link Logger: Peace of mind. The program's Internet usage monitoring feature shows the sites being visited by each computer on the network and when, making it easier to implement and enforce limits. "Link Logger easily out-features and outperforms any other logging tool available. While most logging tools merely display the text sent from the user's firewall, Link Logger takes that information and processes it in real time into meaningful data components and stores it in a database so users can get the most from their logging data, allowing them to easily examine and understand their Internet traffic," said Blake McNeill, Link Logger Product Manager. "We truly believe the new version of Link Logger can help our clients make the most of their logging information, improve their security and get more from their networks."
