== About ==
fe3d is a multiplatform, OpenGL based 3D visualization tool for network security information.  It currently supports insecure.org's nmap XML log files. If  you have [http://insecure.org/nmap/ nmap] installed fe3d will be able to act like a 3D front end, that will allow you to scan hosts and networks.  In fact the name fe3d comes from !FrontEnd3D.

fe3d is brought to you under the [http://www.gnu.org/copyleft/gpl.html GNU GPL License]

== Current Version ==
The current version of fe3d is version 0.11.2 (February 2008). This update will build correctly under Unicode, and has a couple of minor visualization fixes.

You can check it out from svn using 

{{{svn co http://svn.icapsid.net/fe3d/fe3d/branches/fe3d_0.11/ fe3d}}}

Since I have been busy working on [http://www.siafoo.net Siafoo] lately I have not had much time to finish up the OSG port of fe3d, however I will try to get to it sometime.  Of course you can always contribute some patches too :)

== Book ==

fe3d is in a book, Security Data Visualization by Greg Conti. See it's homepage here http://nostarch.com/frameset.php?startat=securityvisualization or  [http://www.amazon.com/Security-Data-Visualization-Graphical-Techniques/dp/1593271433/ref=sr_1_1/102-8814940-5868118?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1193091388&sr=1-1 on Amazon]

I have not thoroughly read it yet. But from paging through and reading isolated sections, it is a very good survey of data visualization and I would recommend anyone using fe3d to go check out the book and see what real security visualization is like =)
