[001] - Aircrack-ng 0.7
by Thomas d'Otreppe (http://freshmeat.net/users/aircrackng/)
Sat, Jan 20th 2007 23:53
Security
System :: Monitoring
System :: Networking
About: aircrack-ng is a set of tools for auditing wireless networks. It's
an enhanced/reborn version of aircrack. It consists of airodump (an 802.11
packet capture program), aireplay (an 802.11 packet injection program),
aircrack (static WEP and WPA-PSK cracking), airdecap (decrypts WEP/WPA
capture files), and some tools to handle capture files (merge, convert,
etc.).
Changes: Fixes and improvements were made to the makefiles. airtun-ng was
added. Fragmentation attack and shared fake auth were added to
aireplay-ng. Fixes were made to airmon-ng and airdecap-ng. Aircrack-ng now
can use dictionary attack for WEP. Airodump-ng has more information about
encryption used. Special handling is done for spanning tree packets. Other
bugfixes and improvements were done.

[002] - amforth 1.1
by Matthias Trute (http://freshmeat.net/users/mtrute/)
Sat, Jan 20th 2007 23:26
Software Development :: Embedded Systems
About: amforth is a distribution of Forth running on the AVR ATmega
microcontroller. Once put into flash, it needs only a serial connection to
the host computer. New words are compiled directly into flash, thus
extending the dictionary immediately. It is ans94 Forth oriented with some
minor exclusions and a few words from the extension word sets. It is
written in assembly language and Forth itself. The main development uses
ATmega8 and ATmega32 controllers; other ATmega controllers should work
with small adjustments.
Changes: The user IO words "emit", "key", and "key?" are now based on
vectors taken from the forth user area. Some internal changes were made.

Multimedia :: Graphics :: Editors
Scientific/Engineering
Scientific/Engineering :: Astronomy
About: AstroBuffer is a CCD astrophotography image manipulation
application. It can open FITS and SBIG (st9) files. Contrast is adjustable
to view different backgrounds and ranges of an image. It can scale, shift,
rotate, and zoom in and out. Images can be aligned based on two star
alignment, and can be summed, subtracted, averaged, and divided. RGB color
images can be created from three images. Images can be saved as FITS or as
any format that KDE supports.
Changes: L/RGB capabilities were added instead of just RGB. Created L/RGB
images can be decomposed into separate images. A new image can be created
with all pixels set to a specified value. While opening a FITS image, it
checks to see if HDU is primary or image HDU before trying to open.

Changes: This release adds a gdb-like "load" command to force reading in a
file. Files coming from function line-specifications are now read in
(Debian Bug #40336). Negative numbers are now allowed in "frame" (and "up"
and "down") commands. Help, manual page, and documentation fixes have been
made, including suggested use of $PS4.

[006] - BFilter 1.0.8
by jart (http://freshmeat.net/users/jart/)
Sat, Jan 20th 2007 09:54
Internet :: Proxy Servers
Internet :: WWW/HTTP
About: BFilter is a smart filtering HTTP proxy. Its primary purpose is
removing banner ads. Unlike the majority of similar tools, it doesn't rely
on a list of blocked URLs, but instead parses HTML on the fly, and detects
ads using a set of heuristic rules. BFilter has a built-in Javascript
engine that detects js-generated ads.
Changes: It's now possible to have multiple forwarding configurations,
switch between them with two clicks, and manage them in a GUI. Forwarding
to a chain of proxies has been implemented. HTTPS hosts can now be
(manually) blocked. Ad detection accuracy has been improved. A crash in
the GTK GUI has been fixed.

RSA, and DSA, among many others). It also support X.509 certificates and
several common certificate-related formats and protocols. It has a high
level interface, is easily portable to most systems and compilers, and
includes a substantial tutorial and API reference.
Changes: A bug in the BER decoder which affected compilers which do not
implement the common named-return-value optimization was fixed, as were
two small bugs in the base64 decoder related to input checking and error
reporting. Some very small functional enhancements were made to support
Botan's use in Monotone.

Changes: An editor was implemented to make it possible to modify already
existing items. Moreover, long-command line options are now supported, and
the "-t" flag (to display todos) now takes an optional priority number as
argument. The appointment display was also improved, with repeated items
made more easily recognizable from normal ones.

[014] - ExactImage 0.3.1
by René Rebe (http://freshmeat.net/users/ReneRebe/)
Sat, Jan 20th 2007 09:57
Multimedia :: Graphics
About: ExactImage is a fast C++ image processing library. Unlike
ImageMagick, it allows operation in several color spaces and bit depths
natively, resulting in much lower memory and computational requirements.
Some optimized algorithms operate in 1/20 of the time ImageMagick
requires, and displaying large images can be as fast as 1/10 of the time
the "display" program takes.
Changes: Support for lossless and fast JPEG color to gray conversion as
well as accelerated JPEG downscaling by partial DCT unpacking were
implemented. The JPEG stream write-out was optimized. The help texts were
improved. Stray debug printouts were removed.

[015] - FlightFeather Social Networking Platform 0.2.8 (Beta)
by George Belotsky (http://freshmeat.net/users/thrustbearing/)
Sat, Jan 20th 2007 11:36
Database :: Database Engines/Servers
Internet :: WWW/HTTP :: Dynamic Content
Internet :: WWW/HTTP :: Dynamic Content :: Message Boards
About: FlightFeather's goal is "social networking for everyone". This
means that anyone should have a chance to run a popular social networking
site on minimal hardware, and without wasting bandwidth. Whenever the
system's state changes, it generates static HTML pages. Pure read
operations (usually about 90% of the total) do not require the application
to run at all. Although FlightFeather is at an early stage of development,
it is already functional, and runs the "bosstats.com" site.
Changes: This is the first beta release of FlightFeather. It also includes
a test run facility and Web functionality tests.

[030] - OpenDBX 1.2.0 (Stable)
by Norbert Sendetzky (http://freshmeat.net/users/nsendetzky/)
Sat, Jan 20th 2007 10:00
Database :: API
Software Development :: Libraries
About: The OpenDBX library provides a unified and consistent API for
software developers to different database management systems. The function
library is written in the C programming language and aims at implementing
access to the native database interfaces efficiently via a thin
abstraction layer. It consists of a basic set of functions that are part
of all vendor database libraries and can be extended by additional
function blocks. Currently, Firebird/Interbase, MS SQL Server, MySQL,
Oracle, PostgreSQL, SQLite 2 and 3, and Sybase ASE are supported.
Changes: Compared to the release candidate, this package only contains a
minor bugfix for the sqlite3 backend in the configure.ac file and a little
enhancement. The improvement is related to static compilation, which now
only references the configured backends.

Security :: Cryptography
About: Password Manager Daemon serves clients data via a local socket. The
data is stored in an encrypted XML file, and the client must provide the
key to modify it. There is a library included to make patching
applications to use the daemon easier. The library also supports gpg-agent
for password/key retrieval.
Changes: The IV and iterations are written to the data file. A bug with
cache_push with an invalid password was fixed. The command line option -I
was added to import an XML file. The libpwmd API was changed.

[033] - PeaZip 1.2
by giorgiotani (http://freshmeat.net/users/giorgiotani/)
Sat, Jan 20th 2007 10:02
Security :: Cryptography
System :: Archiving
System :: Archiving :: Backup
About: PeaZip (formerly Pea-Peach) is an archiver tool that supports its
native Pea archive format (featuring compression, splitting, and flexible
encryption and integrity check schemes) and other mainstream formats, with
special focus on handling open formats. It fully supports raw file
splitting and joining, 7z, 7zip sfx, Bzip2, Gzip, Pea, Tar, and Zip. It
has browse/extract-only support for Z (the format used by the Unix
"compress" command). PeaZip doesn't follow the Explorer-like interface
paradigm; the interface is more similar to a CD/DVD-burner application.
Changes: This update is focused on enhancing archive management. A
navigational browser and an alternative multiple inclusion and exclusion
filtering mechanism were introduced to explore and selectively extract an
archive's contents. 7z is now used as a backend, allowing the user to
browse and extract more archive types (ARJ, CAB, CHM, CPIO, DEB, ISO, LZH,
RAR, RPM, Z, Nsis executables, most OpenOffice native file formats, and
more).

Database
Internet :: WWW/HTTP :: Dynamic Content
Security
About: sqlmap is an automatic blind SQL injection tool capable of
enumerating an entire remote database, performing an active database
fingerprint, and much more. The aim of this project is to implement a
fully functional database mapper tool that takes advantages of Web
application programming security flaws that lead to SQL injection
vulnerabilities.
Changes: This release adds a PostgreSQL DBMS active fingerprint, a
strongly-improved MySQL DBMS active fingerprint and a MySQL comment
injection check, an encodeParams() method to encode URL parameters before
making an HTTP request, many bugfixes, a module for MS SQL Server,
rewritten documentation files, and support for a --data commandline
argument (to pass the string for POST requests), for UNION check
(--union-check), and for string match (--string). It delegates most of
features to the engine in common.py and option.py and removes duplicated
code.

[045] - Sunifdef 3.0 (Stable)
by Mike Kinghan (http://freshmeat.net/users/imkinghan/)
Sat, Jan 20th 2007 09:50
Software Development
Software Development :: Build Tools
Software Development :: Pre-processors
About: Sunifdef is a command line tool for simplifying the preprocessor
conditionals in C/C++ source code (#if and related directives) based on
the the user's stipulation of the preprocessor macros that shall be
defined or undefined. It is a more powerful successor to the FreeBSD
'unifdef' tool. Sunifdef is most useful to developers of constantly
evolving products with large code bases, where preprocessor conditionals
are used to configure the feature sets, APIs or implementations of
different releases. In these environments, the code base steadily
accumulates #ifdef-pollution as transient configuration options become
obselete. Sunifdef can largely automate the recurrent task of purging
redundant #if-logic from the code.
Changes: A new --recurse option enables recursive traversal of source
directories. Users no longer need to write driver scripts for this
routinely required capablity. A new --filter option enables selection of
input files by file-extension. A new --keepgoing option causes processing
to carry on with subsequent input files following parse errors. The
--verbose mode now emits progress messages. The Unix and Windows builds
now accept both sorts of line endings. Hex and octal preprocessor
constants are now parsed. Six bugs were fixed. An extensive EXAMPLES
section has been added to the man page.
