History

Aanval was created by Loyal Moses in 2003 but was not publicly made available until March 2004 where it was released under the private commercial license C1-RA1008.[4] Throughout the lifecycle of the software it has also been referred to as OpenAanval [5] or ComAanval in addition to Aanval.

Aanval's had provided AJAX style security event monitoring and reporting from a web-browser. Since Aanval's creation, it has developed into an intrusion detection, correlation and threat management console with a specific focus on normalizing Snort, Suricata, and Syslog data.

Several information security related books have been published that include details and references to Aanval, including "Linux Server Security, Second Edition"[6] by O'Reilly Media, "Security Log Management"[7] by O'Reilly Media, "Snort: IDS and IPS Toolkit"[8] by O'Reilly Media and in 2010 "Unix and Linux System Administration Handbook, Fourth Edition"[9] by O'Reilly Media.
