New Testing Platform

mwcollect Alliance member Teleservice Skåne AB was so kind to provide us with another testing platform (2x 733 MHz, 2 GB RAM) with a /23 attatched for developing and testing nepenthes. This box runs FreeBSD, so we will try to add some optimizations for FreeBSD users as well.

Since we're bound to relatively low per-processor resources, we're currently evaluating adding threading to certain modules (e.g. putting shellcode matching into a separate thread). This will probably also please all Intel Core Duo fans out there, running nepenthes on really large networks.

Thanks Philip Olsson from Teleservice Skåne AB for setting stuff up.
