  1. Hello I was doing extensive research on the internet and tutorials on subjects CORE and its blogger, was the only thing with more contents I could find, since already then let me congratulate you for the work and thus continues. Also wanted to ask you if you have some examples or even settings like putting services like FTP, HTTP, VoIP, and other simulator CORE, and am currently using the latest version 4.5 and the other simulator CORE already been trying it a long time but always without success. Thank you again.
