1573,A packet analysis framework in Haskell,jvimal,,"I propose  to create a module  in Haskell that would  help users write network   packet  analysing   software.  Using   this,  a   couple  of applications that could be written are as follows. 

(1) Network sniffers, (2) Network Intrusion Detection Systems, (3) Network analytics software.

The resulting haskell module would provide support for hooking into various levels of the network stack (within the framework) and processing packets that match a given boolean condition. The support provided would be in terms of (a) analysing the header fields of known protocols, (b) support for statistics and (c) logging information on packets. 

Comments very welcome! ",proposed-project,closed,OK,wontfix,,,Networking,unknown,not-accepted
