Ignore Garbage In, Catch Garbage Out
by Josh Gentry (http://freshmeat.net/~jagentry/")
Section: Editorials
Sat, Sep 18th 2004 00:00

Intrusion detection is one of the major challenges to information
security. In this article, we will consider network intrusion detection,
the analysis of network traffic for suspicious behavior. I base my
argument on my experience with a popular network intrusion detection
system (NIDS) and informal discussion with other network administrators.

[001] - AqBanking 0.9.5
  by aquamaniac (http://freshmeat.net/users/aquamaniac/)
  Sat, Sep 18th 2004 22:51

Office/Business :: Financial
Software Development :: Libraries

About: AqBanking provides a generic interface to online banking. Online
banking is provided via backends (currently only HBCI is supported).

Changes: This version uses UTF8 strings everywhere. All plugins and
front-ends convert their local charsets to UTF8 to create a uniform
charset space. Many bugs weree fixed.

[002] - AutoScan Beta 0.92 R5
  by thierry lagarde (http://freshmeat.net/users/tlagarde/)
  Sat, Sep 18th 2004 15:53

Desktop Environment :: Gnome
System :: Networking
System :: Systems Administration

About: AutoScan is an application designed to explore and to manage your
network. Entire subnets can be scanned simultaneously without human
intervention. It features OS detection, automatic network discovery, a
port scanner, a Samba share browser, and the ability to save the network
state.

[003] - barvinok 0.11
  by Sven Verdoolaege (http://freshmeat.net/users/skimo/)
  Sat, Sep 18th 2004 12:35

About: barvinok is a library for counting the number of points in
parametrized and non-parametrized polytopes based on polylib. For a
parametrized polytope, the number of points is represented by an Ehrhart
polynomial.

Changes: This release fixes a few minor bugs, and optionally uses PIP
during enumeration of integer projections.

[004] - BatRen 0.2
  by ThuBi (http://freshmeat.net/users/thubi/)
  Sat, Sep 18th 2004 22:36

About: BatRen is an automatic file rename tool. The main goal is to
provide a simple way to batch rename collections of files, such as photo
collections. It accepts prefixing and suffixing, a starting index value,
and counter padding formats. If the output file already exists, the
counter is increased until an unused filename is found.

Changes: Files can now be specified on the command line, and basic
filename expansion can be used when specifing files (such as *.jpg). More
detailed information is given in verbose mode. A hard-coded program
description was added for verbose mode. Filename expressions may now be
omitted to use all the files in the current directory. When searching for
an available filename, the first one found is no longer ignored.

  by linux (http://freshmeat.net/users/brainless/)
  Sat, Sep 18th 2004 23:08

Software Development :: Disassemblers

About: Boomerang is a decompiler that takes executable files and attempts
to create a high level, compilable, possibly even maintainable source
file that does the same thing. It does not matter if the executable file
has symbols or not, or whether it was compiled using any particular
language.

[006] - BOTEC 0.2
  by Eleventh Hour (http://freshmeat.net/users/xihr/)
  Sat, Sep 18th 2004 23:05

Scientific/Engineering :: Astronomy
Software Development :: Libraries :: Python Modules

About: BOTEC is a simple but useful calculator that assists with
astrophysical, orbital mechanics, and space navigation calculations. It
is a "back-of-the-envelope calculator" rather than an
industrial-strength calculator, although this may change in the future.
It is primarily intended for people familiar with physics and Python,
and as such is unlikely to be useful to the average end user. It includes
 solar system data, and all values are strictly in SI units.

[007] - CCIDE 0.0.8-5
  by Tom Young (http://freshmeat.net/users/twysf/)
  Sat, Sep 18th 2004 22:41

Education
Software Development :: Code Generators
Software Development :: Compilers

About: Ccide reads C, C++, or bash source code containing embedded
decision tables from stdin, analyzes it, and expands the tables. All
statements not within a decision table are copied unchanged to stdout,
forming a compilable C or C++ source module or executable bash script.
Erratic side effects are avoided by evaluating all condition expressions
exactly once and by performing all evaluations and actions in the original
sequence.

Changes: This release added support for C++, bash, and m4 output.

Communications :: Email :: Mail Transport Agents
Communications :: Email :: Post-Office

About: The Courier mail transfer agent (MTA) is an integrated
mail/groupware server based on open commodity protocols such as ESMTP,
IMAP, POP3, LDAP, SSL, and HTTP. Courier provides ESMTP, IMAP, POP3,
Webmail, and mailing list services within a single consistent framework.
Individual components can be enabled or disabled at will. Courier
implements basic Web-based calendaring and scheduling services integrated
in the Webmail module.

[009] - DHTTProxy 2004-09-17

  Sat, Sep 18th 2004 12:43

Internet :: Proxy Servers
Internet :: WWW/HTTP
Internet :: WWW/HTTP :: HTTP Servers

About: DHTTProxy is an HTTP/1.0 and 1.1 proxy server that uses filters
(programs that transform stdin to stdout, return with the HTTP status
code, and log to stderr) for virtually everything, including redirection,
downloading, caching, anonymizing, and content filtering. It is supposed
to be more extensible than squid-cache, since it's easy to write new
filters in nearly any programming language. It is simple to set up and
transparent. Most of all, it's supposed to be Free and not depend on any
non-Free software. The intended environment is on a gateway or internal
server for a small business or home, as it's not very fast.

Changes: The program now works, and some documentation was added.

[010] - Dirlister 1.1
  by David BL (http://freshmeat.net/users/davidbl/)
  Sat, Sep 18th 2004 12:32

Internet :: WWW/HTTP :: Dynamic Content
Internet :: WWW/HTTP :: Indexing/Search

About: Dirlister provides an alternative to the standard Apache directory
listings. It creates Web pages that are displayed when looking at folders
without index files.

Changes: The code was almost completely rewritten. Themes support for the
icons was added. Many settings were added in the dirlist.php file. Style
support was added, so the appearance can be changed with the settings in
dirlist.php.

[011] - Enemies of Carlotta 1.1.2 (Development)
  by Lars Wirzenius (http://freshmeat.net/users/liw/)
  Sat, Sep 18th 2004 22:39

Communications :: Email :: Mailing List Servers

About: Enemies of Carlotta is a simple mailing list manager. It tries to
mimic the ezmlm software somewhat, but is written completely from scratch
in Python. It has a less restrictive license than ezmlm and qmail, and is
smaller and simpler than GNU Mailman.

Changes: Header manipulation is now performed for messages sent to lists.
Friendlier error messages were provided. Mails in responses are now
attached as MIME rather than inline. A Spanish manual page was included.

  Sat, Sep 18th 2004 22:34

Software Development
Software Development :: Libraries :: Java Libraries

About: Eye Of Newt (EON) is an LDAP editor/browser geared towards Java
developers working with JNDI and LDAP. It tries to be helpful in exploring
an LDAP directory with a complex data structure, and to provide a platform
to write plugins to test JNDI/LDAP operations.

Changes: The rename and move dialogs were made a bit more user friendly. A
plug-in that can export a context (and sub-contexts) as a DSML v1.0
document was implemented (schema and attribute types are not supported).
The OperationManager convertToName was fixed, as it didn't update the
progress bar correctly for null parameters. A problem where the
GUIMediator status bar did not display the messages was fixed.

0.3.xx has a Graphics Abstract Layer (GAL) and an Input Abstract Layer
(IAL), so MiniGUI can run on many Graphics Engines, including SVGALib and
LibGGI. By using GAL and IAL, MiniGUI applications can run on X Windows
aswell. This makes debugging of applications and porting to other hardware
easier. MiniGUI provides native support for many image types including GIF,
JPG, PCX, LBM/PBM, and BMP, support for TrueType and Adobe Type1 fonts, and
support for GB2312 and BIG5 charsets.

  Sat, Sep 18th 2004 22:44

Communications :: File Sharing
Internet

About: Nodezilla is a secured, distributed, and fault tolerant routing
system (or grid network) that supports distributed services such as file
sharing, chat, efficient video multicast streaming, and secured file
storage. It provides cache features where any server may create a local
replica of any data object. These local replicas provide faster access
and robustness to network partitions, and reduce network congestion by
localizing access traffic. To ensure data protection, redundancy and
cryptographic techniques are used.

Changes: This release fixed a bunch of nasty bugs and started some heavy
changes to code base. This enhanced data flow and reduced resource and
memory usage. Some bugs that caused nodes to become 'blind' under some
conditions were fixed. Locally encrypted blockstores are now supported.

in use by 3+ school divisions in Saskatchewan, Canada.

Changes: A new online gradebook allows a teacher to enter marks from home
or school. An upcoming parent/student site will allow marks and
assignments to be read online from the gradebook. The IEP (Special Ed)
system was updated with student removal scripting in admin areas. A new
system was added to update provincial educational authority in
Saskatchewan via XML transfers over HTTPS.

  by dres (http://freshmeat.net/users/dres1011/)
  Sat, Sep 18th 2004 22:51

Software Development :: Libraries :: Java Libraries

About: OSCache is a high performance J2EE caching solution that can cache
portions of JSP pages, entire HTTP responses (including dynamically
generated images), and arbitrary Java objects. It can provide your J2EE
application with huge performance gains and graceful error tolerance
(e.g., in the event of a DB failure, cached content is served).

Changes: Many bugfixes were made and at least one new feature was added.
The cache can now be configured to persist to disk only once the memory
capacity has been expended.

[031] - PHPSurveyor 0.98 Final
  by Jase (http://freshmeat.net/users/jcleeland/)
  Sat, Sep 18th 2004 23:05

Internet :: WWW/HTTP

About: PHP Surveyor is a set of PHP scripts that interact with MySQL to
develop surveys, publish surveys, and collect responses to surveys. Once
a survey has been created there are (currently) two ways to insert data
into the survey: either by a 'pretty' public screen which presents each
question one at a time, or by a quick and nasty data entry screen. It
includes the capacity to generate individualised 'tokens', so that
invitations can be issued to participants, which allows for good quality
control of surveys. It also has the capacity to set conditions on whether
questions will display (branching), numerous question types, and a basic
statistics function.

Changes: A major upgrade was made including a rebuild of the admin screen,
internationalization, new question types and styles, faster public survey
processing, and more.

Security

About: smtp-vilter is a high-performance content filter for sendmail,
which detects email viruses and spam. It can pass, discard, or simply mark

communicate with sendmail, and backends to communicate with the actual
scanning engines. The backends can be chained to perform a series of
checks on each message in one run.

Changes: Some bugs found in the new attachment backend were fixed: memory
leaks were plugged and scanning for the message boundary now conforms to
RFC-2046.
