Antispyd is a HTTP/HTTPS proxy server designed to be fast, efficient, modular and secure. It's written in pure C and uses a simple and customizable configuration file. It's POSIX compliant and has been developed under Gentoo/Linux.

The server is designed with a modular software architecture, the following filters can be used and configured independently :

Url Filtering
Mime-type Filtering
Web-Identity Masking
Shellcode and Zero-day threat Filtering
Cookie Removal
Simple Signature based Filtering
Inappropriate content Blocking
Pop-up Deleting

So, Antispyd can be used to satisfy some current company's security needs like :

Web Usage Policy establishment
Instant Messaging control
Peer-to-Peer Filtering
Malware Protection

What's New in This Release:
This release provides a major improvement of the signature based filtering engine (the BLOCK_SIGN filter) in terms of both performance and functionality.
The signatures are now stored in a 3-Tree to enhance the matching of each HTTP message.
This filtering can be performed on each HTTP message's content.
A signature can use the hexadecimal array of a byte to specify a field's value
