+including auth.log, httpd logs, etc. for signs of malicious connections,
 break-in and exploitation attempts. The originating IP addresses of
 these connections are then blocked via Netfilter (iptables).
 
+Additionally Maltfilter can generate status reports (either continuously
+in daemon mode, or as once-run report), in plaintext and HTML formats.
+
+Since v0.14, there is also option for gathering "evidence" about certain
+PHP XSS exploit attempts into specified directory. These evidence files
+include the attempted exploit code (if found) and hosts which have tried
+to make your server run it.

 Requirements:
 
  - Perl 5.8 or later
  - Date::Parse (libtimedate-perl)
  - Net::IP (libnet-ip-perl)
+ - Net::DNS (libnet-dns-perl)
+ - LWP::UserAgent (libwww-perl)
