[001] - adcfw-log 0.8.1
by Alessandro Dotti Contra (http://freshmeat.net/users/adotticontra/)
Wednesday, April 16th 2003 17:55

System :: Networking :: Firewalls
Utilities

About: adcfw-log is a tool for analyzing firewall logs in order to
extract meaningful information. It is designed to be a standalone script
with very few requirements that can generate different kinds of reports,
such as fully formatted reports of what had been logged, with summaries
by source or destination host, the type of service, or protocol. There
are also options to filter the input data by date, host, protocol,
service, and so on.

Changes: In this release two minor bugs were fixed: a wrong recognition of
RES field values which led to wrong reports output was fixed, and an error
message is issued if --detailed option is used without specifying a
summary.

Multimedia :: Graphics
Software Development :: Libraries
Software Development :: User Interfaces

About: Agar is a graphical game engine aimed primarily at applications
ranging from SDL 2D games to multithreaded 3D simulations. The engine
currently implements tile-based levels, a level editor, a GUI, as well as
various other thread-safe interfaces for use in game programming.

Changes: Moving game objects can now occupy more than one node, and may be
treated recursively. More efficient buffering in the I/O library allow
faster loading/saving of states. This release also includes various API
improvements.

Wednesday, April 16th 2003 17:59

Internet :: WWW/HTTP :: Dynamic Content
Text Processing :: Markup :: HTML

About: Aranha is a piece of software written to allow Web applications to
be written more cleanly and more easily. It is a Local FastCGI Responder,
although work is in progress to allow it to work as a FastCGI Authoriser
and a FastCGI Filter. It is based on the programming language Lua, and
contains many extensions to enable easy Web site development and
maintenance.

Changes: The module loader is fixed for a state-count of more than 1,
cookies are now supported and auto-decoded for you, and the lua and luac
binaries are included in the distribution. Several gd fixes have been
added, and the dbi library has been fixed in several places. Aranha's core
(the diverter) has been upgraded. Finally, and perhaps most importantly,
the version of Lua shipped with Aranha has been updated to Lua 5.0 (final
release).

Wednesday, April 16th 2003 07:09

System :: Monitoring
System :: Operating System Kernels :: Linux

About: Atkins can be used to examine variables, tables, and linked lists
in the running kernel. Subcommands can be entered to show formatted
kernel administration of processes, open files, incore inodes, page cache
buffers, sockets, etc. Memory dumps can be shown using virtual or
physical addresses, or using addresses within user space of a particular
process. Furthermore stack backtraces can be printed e.g. to determine
the reason why a particular process is currently in a wait- state. Note
that atkins requires a certain level of knowledge about the Linux kernel.

Changes: Ports to RedHat 7.3/8.0/9.0, SuSE 8.0, and kernel version 2.4.20
from kernel.org.

About: Bochs-Tools is a collection of scripts and programs to be used
together with the Bochs emulator. The main goal is to provide a more
Unix-like interface to the emulator and to enable access to Bochs disk
images from outside of Bochs. This project makes it very simple to copy an
existing OS installation to a Bochs image (as long as Linux has write
access to the relevant file system).

Changes: This release adds bxtclone (the all-in-one create, copy, install
LILO script) and an RPM package. There are minor code cleanups and
bugfixes.

the "nearest neighbor" algorithm. If this handler get a wrong request, it
will search for another good request to exchange it with, so the requester
will never get a error message. Lots of the code has been rewritten for
performance and cleanliness. A benchmark has been written and included in
the package.

[028] - Java Serialization to XML 2 0.9.0
by Brendan Macmillan (http://freshmeat.net/users/yow/)
Wednesday, April 16th 2003 07:02

Communications
Database
Database :: Front-Ends

About: Java Serialization to XML 2 allows you to convert Java objects into
streams of XML and back again. Using it is as easy as replacing
"ObjectOutputStream" with "JSX.ObjectWriter" to convert objects to XML,
and replacing "ObjectInputStream" with "JSX.ObjectReader" to convert XML
into objects. JSX subclasses Java's serialization classes, so it can be
used in their place with the same simple power. This allows you to check
and correct your distributed, persisted, and logged object data, and
process it with XSLT, SAX, and DOM. JSX handles all objects, complex
object graphs, new classes, old classes, and evolving classes. JSX even
handles classes that do not implement the "Serializable" interface.

Changes: A much simpler XML format was made for Lists and Sets, making it
easier to read and to generate with non-JSX tools. Serialization's
writeUnshared() and readUnshared() are now implemented, as is
serialPersistentFields.

Printing
Software Development :: Libraries :: Java Libraries

About: JFreeReport is a Java report generator. Using data from a Swing
TableModel, JFreeReport can send output to the screen (print preview) and
the printer, and export to text, CSV, HTML, XML, Excel, and Acrobat PDF
files.

Changes: This release fixes several critical bugs and some memory leaks.
Complete profiling of the report library has been done and performance has
been improved. Many unneccessary object creations are also avoided now, so
that the memory performance is in much better shape. This release had been
successfully tested with a report of 10000 pages. Some of the bugfixes
affect the API in a non-backward-compatible way, so please read the file
"migration.txt" when upgrading.

Wednesday, April 16th 2003 07:18

Multimedia :: Graphics
Multimedia :: Graphics :: Graphics Conversion

About: Jhead is a command line driven utility for extracting digital
camera settings from the Exif format files used by many digital cameras.
It handles the various confusing ways these can be expressed, and displays
them as F-stop, shutter speed, etc. It is also able to reduce the size of
digital camera JPEGs without loss of information, by deleting integral
thumbnails that digital cameras put into the Exif header. If you need to
add Exif support to a program, this is a simple program to cut and paste
from. Many projects, including PHP, have reused code from this utility.

Changes: This release introduces a man page, automatic image rotation,
some further new options, a warning for erasing existing files, and some
minor fixes.

Security
System :: Monitoring
System :: Networking

About: Nast is a packet sniffer and a LAN analyzer based on Libnet and
Libpcap. It can sniff the packets on a network interface in normal mode or
in promiscuous mode. It dumps the headers of packets and the payload in
ASCII or ASCII-hex format. Various packet filters can be applied. The data
sniffed can be saved in a separate file. As an analysis tool, it can check
for other NICs on the network which are set in promiscuous mode, build a
list of all hosts on a LAN, find a gateway, perform port scanning on a
multiple hosts, catch daemon banners, follow the TCP data stream, reset a
connection, and determine whether a link type is a hub or switch.

Changes: This version adds logging support to car() and psearch(), two
logging features for sniffing, a traffic monitoring feature, and some
converting functions. It extends promiscuous mode research to all network
NICs. pcap_open_live() now works with *BSD, and a video output bug in
car(), a common return value (NULL) of map_lan(), and a bug in mport()
with telnet banner reader were fixed. Many sniffer features were worked
on. It was ported to FreeBSD.

Internet
Security
System :: Networking

About: SMTP map uses a fingerprinting technology to scan for the version
of whatever SMTP server software which is running on a machine.

Changes: Many bugfixes in the POP3 scanner and some slight bugfixes in the
other scanners were made. Some parts of the scanners were rebuilt so that
simple scanner preventions are now blocked. The results should also be
more accurate now, since the resulting fingerprints should be more
generic. Be careful if you have used smtpmap in scripts; some commandline
options have changed.

some rare cases, internal linkage of duplicated files was not working. It
also adds the possibility of defining a bandwidth limit when copying, and
the new parameter --postcommand.

Wednesday, April 16th 2003 04:32

System :: Boot

About: SYSLINUX is a collection of boot loaders for the Linux operating
system which operates off MS-DOS floppies, network servers using PXE
firmware, or from CD-ROMs. It is intended to simplify first-time
installation of Linux, rescue disks, and other uses for boot floppies. A
SYSLINUX floppy can be manipulated using standard MS-DOS (or any other OS
that can access an MS-DOS filesystem) tools once it has been created; and
requires only a very small DOS or Linux program to create in the first
place. It also includes MEMDISK, a tool to boot legacy operating systems
from nontraditional media like PXE or CD-ROM.

Changes: This release adds support for large packets in PXELINUX, and
fixes a serious bug with E820 memory detection in MEMDISK.

Wednesday, April 16th 2003 19:27

Communications
Internet
Security

About: Wellenreiter is a GTK/Perl wireless network discovery and auditing
tool. Prism2, Lucent, and Cisco based cards are supported. It is the
easiest to use Linux scanning tool. No card configuration has to be done
anymore. The whole look and feel is pretty self-explaining. It can
discover networks (BSS/IBSS), and detects ESSID broadcasting or
non-broadcasting networks and their WEP capabilities and the manufacturer
automatically. DHCP and ARP traffic are decoded and displayed to give you
further information about the networks. An ethereal/tcpdump-compatible
dumpfile and an Application savefile will be automaticly created. gpsd can
be used to track the location of the discovered networks.

Changes: A completely new Interface and look and feel were added. All the
statistic windows are removed. The scannerwindow is now the mainwindow and
controlpoint. Autodetection of the cardtype and other configuration
setting eliminates the need for user configuration. The usability of the
interface has been raised with the new tree and clist split layout. save-
and dumpfile generation was automated. Scanning is faster, and a lot of
bugs and leaks were fixed.
