 PTF - Perl information and frontend framework for the Prelude hybrid IDS



PTF is a Perl information and frontend framework (including a reasonable set of different ready to use frontends) for the excellent Prelude hybrid IDS. The design goal was to create a set of useful Prelude-specific functions for "higher level" Prelude-related tools, and a small basic set of those to prove the concept. Therefore, the internal, common engine, is independent of the visual aspect of PTF, and PTF itself is not tied to a particular user interface; currently non-interactive, plain text, gtk and ncurses interfaces are being developed.
