Very definitely cool stuff. I used it for doing some internal assessment
work last year, and it's always fun watching the open source tools score
well against the big commercial products (i.e. Apache, Snort). I'm not sure
if time will allow much more than a mention though, as I've only got an hour
and there's a lot of ground to cover. I'm hoping to be able to put together
a list of references that will include such tools though.

Thanks for the suggestion!
