[016] - honeytrap 1.0.0
by Tillmann Werner (http://freshmeat.net/users/honeytrap/)
Sat, Oct 27th 2007 13:51
Security
System :: Networking :: Monitoring
About: Honeytrap is a network security tool written to observe attacks
against TCP services. As a low-interactive honeypot, it collects
information regarding known or unknown network-based attacks and thus can
provide early-warning information. The daemon monitors the network stream
for incoming connections and dynamically starts server processes if it
detects a request to an unbound port. Honeytrap can also be set up as a
meta honeypot that forwards several attacks to other systems or, in mirror
mode, redirects a connection back to the initiator. Several plugins are
available for automated attack analysis.
Changes: The configuration concept has been totally revised, which makes
module handling much more flexible. The system was also redesigned to put
more tasks into modules. Analysis plugins can now create "virtual attacks"
which can be further processed with other plugins. This release also
introduces three new plugins.

[032] - SmokePing 2.2.5 (Stable)
by Tobias Oetiker (http://freshmeat.net/users/oetiker/)
Sat, Oct 27th 2007 14:29
System :: Benchmark
System :: Monitoring
System :: Networking :: Monitoring
About: SmokePing is a network latency monitor which works in a way that is
similar to MRTG. It measures network latency to a configurable set of
destinations on the network, and displays its findings in easy-to-read Web
pages. SmokePing has special support for monitoring hosts with dynamic IP
addresses. SmokePing uses RRDtool as its logging and graphing back-end,
making the system very efficient. The presentation of the data on the Web
is done through a CGI which creates graphs on demand.
Changes: "Live" command testing was removed, which fixes huge startup
delays on non-Linux OSes. Slaves are now allowed to have dotted names. The
port was made configurable in ssh probe. Slave names may be configured.
Zooming "out" functionality was added to zoom view.

[035] - Stunnel 4.21
by Michal Trojnara (http://freshmeat.net/users/mtrojnar/)
Sat, Oct 27th 2007 14:49
Internet :: Proxy Servers
Security :: Cryptography
System :: Networking
About: The stunnel program is designed to work as an SSL encryption
wrapper between remote client and local (inetd-startable) or remote
server. It can be used to add SSL functionality to commonly used inetd
daemons like POP2, POP3, and IMAP servers without any changes in the
programs' code. It will negotiate an SSL connection using the OpenSSL or
SSLeay libraries. It calls the underlying crypto libraries, so stunnel
supports whatever cryptographic algorithms you compiled into your crypto
package.
Changes: Initial FIPS 140-2 support was added. Non-MT-safe libwrap (TCP
Wrappers) library support was rewritten. It's currently based on
pre-forked processes and should be much faster. Some bugfixes were also
added.
