 ====== BITMAUL : The protocol dissection framework ======
-We released an open source LuaJIT based protocol dissection framework called BITMAUL.  This allows you to rapidly develop fast and safe protocol decoders.
+We released an open source LuaJIT based protocol dissection framework called BITMAUL.
 BITMAUL can be found on its GitHUB page https://github.com/trisulnsm/bitmaul
+{{:lua:maulaxe.png | Bitmaul logo}}
+===== Use cases =====
+Bitmaul allows you to
+  * **sweepbuf** - use ''next_xx''  type calls to dissect a bitstream. Supports bit level operations and covers most of the common packet dissection idioms
+  * **pdurecord** - breakup a bytestream into TCP messages / PDUs
+[[https://github.com/trisulnsm/bitmaul#bitmaul-docs|Documentation]] and [[https://github.com/trisulnsm/bitmaul/tree/master/examples|Examples]] can be found on the  [[https://github.com/trisulnsm/bitmaul|BITMAUL page]]
 ===== BITMAUL in Trisul Scripting =====
@@ Line 11: / Line 24: @@
 A recurring demand from Trisul script developers is to decode protocols and then either meter the traffic or to generate "logs".  BITMAUL dramatically simplifies this process because it handles both TCP message segmentation as well as the bits level protocol dissection.  You can go as deep as you want in any protocol or just decode it enough to generate metrics, resources (logs), alerts, or other kinds of action.
