We've released a beta of Spider for windows that incorporates quite a few
new features, for anyone interested in testing.

[ http://www.cit.cornell.edu/security/tools ]

The key things we've added are:
        - improved and more detailed logging    
        - routines to validate possible CC#s and SSNs
        [ finally bit the bullet on that concept ]
        - a smarter installer
        - ability to supply a list of paths to skip

In the works:
        - debug logging
        - checkpointing

The linux version of spider is being rewritten as a GTK app, to keep it in
line with the Windows and OSX versions.

We've also launched a mailing list for bug reports, feature requests,
discussion, etc.
