Metis 1.4 released

Metis 1.4 is now available from : http://www.severus.org/sacha/metis

Information
-----------
This is a tool I wrote to collect information from web servers.
This was written for the Open Source Security Testing Methodology (OSSTM)
located on http://www.ideahamster.org/osstmm-description.htm.

If you get OutOfMemory errors, it means that the site you are scanning is
quite big and you need to
grow the heap size by using the -Xms<size> option. By default, the metis.bat
will set it to 150.

Please read the user documentation in the doc directory.
