Multimedia :: Sound/Audio
Multimedia :: Sound/Audio :: Capture/Recording
Multimedia :: Sound/Audio :: CD Audio
About: The Advanced Linux Sound Architecture is composed of several parts.
The first is a fully modularized sound driver which supports module
autoloading, devfs, isapnp autoconfiguration, and gives complete access to
analog audio, digital audio, control, mixer, synthesizer, DSP, MIDI, and
timer components of audio hardware. It also includes a fully-featured
kernel-level sequencer, a full compatibility layer for OSS/Free
applications, an object-oriented C library which covers and enhances the
ALSA kernel driver functionality for applications (client/server, plugins,
PCM sharing/multiplexing, PCM metering, etc.), an interactive configuration
program for the driver, and some simple utilities for basic management.
Changes: Many minor fixes were made.

Sun, May 29th 2005 11:53
System :: Networking :: Firewalls
About: Arno's IPTABLES Firewall Script is a secure stateful firewall for
both single and multi-homed machines. It supports NAT and SNAT, port
forwarding, ADSL ethernet modems with both static and dynamically assigned
IPs, MAC address filtering, stealth port scan detection, DMZ and DMZ-2-LAN
forwarding, protection against SYN/ICMP flooding, and extensive user
definable logging with rate limiting to prevent log flooding. It features
support for all IP protocols and VPNs such as IPSec. and is easy to
configure and highly customizable. A filter script that makes your
firewall log more readable is also included.
Changes: Enhanced DMZ support. A lot of fixes concerning broadcasts (eg.
DHPC and MAC filtering code). $DMZ_LAN_xxx_FORWARD variables have been
fixed and renamed to $DMZ_LAN_OPEN_TCP. All LAN_xxxxxxxx variables have
been renamed to LAN_INET_xxxxxxx for better consistency. fwfilter has been
enhanced. NAT/DMZ forwarding has been fixed/changed. LAN_ALLOW_xxx
variables have been renamed to LAN_OPEN_xxx for consistency. It is (again)
strongly recommended to upgrade to the latest config file.

[004] - aterr 0.5
by Talrias (http://freshmeat.net/users/Talrias/)
Sun, May 29th 2005 08:44
Internet :: WWW/HTTP :: Dynamic Content :: Message Boards
About: aterr is a threaded forum system, allowing registered visitors to
express their opinions, discuss topics, and debate with other visitors. A
threaded forum system differs from regular, flat forum systems in that
once posted, a thread can fork, allowing visitors to reply directly to
other posts. aterr also provides a customisable permissions system, the
ability to nest forums, and moderation tools.
Changes: Moderators can now move threads from one forum to another. A
forum can be "pre-moderated", which means that all posts made have to be
approved by a moderator before they are displayed. The way that posts are
displayed is now specified in a template. Various code optimizations were
made. HTML exploits from untrusted users are now prevented.

[008] - bogofilter 0.94.13 (Current)
by Matthias Andree (http://freshmeat.net/users/mandree/)
Sun, May 29th 2005 07:14
Communications :: Email :: Filters
Text Processing :: Filters
About: Bogofilter is a Bayesian spam filter. In its normal mode of
operation, it takes an email message or other text on standard input, does
a statistical check against lists of "good" and "bad" words, and returns a
status code indicating whether or not the message is spam. Bogofilter is
designed with fast algorithms (including Berkeley DB system), coded
directly in C, and tuned for speed, so it can be used for production by
sites that process a lot of mail.
Changes: The "retry transaction" logic was fixed. Compilation and running
with --enable-iconv and with Unicode were fixed. Bogofilter now supports a
-q option to suppress printing statistics. The SQLite3 interface is a lot
more CPU efficient now, and it uses an index that users can add to
existing databases with "sqlite3 ~/.bogofilter/wordlist.db 'CREATE INDEX
bfidx ON bogofilter(key,value);'".

System :: Archiving :: Packaging
About: bpkg is a utility that automates the entire process of creating a
binary package from a source package. It is similar to CheckInstall, but
goes further by using heuristics to automate as much as possible. It has
auto-detection for Arch Linux, Slackware, Red Hat, Gentoo, and SuSE,
although not all packaging back-ends are complete. bpkg is not intended as
a packaging utility but more as a means to track installation of source
packages using your operating system's native packaging system.
Changes: Package generation is supported on Arch Linux and Slackware.

Games/Entertainment :: Turn Based Strategy
About: Chess Training Tools is a collection of chess training tools. It
includes a chess visualization trainer that teaches chess visualization by
drilling you on the color of a particular square, and also on your ability
to tell if two squares are the same color, if two (or three) squares are
on the same diagonal, if two squares are a knight move apart, or if two
squares are two knight moves apart. It includes a weak chess program
(called Vince) that lets you lag the display by several ply, hide all
pieces or all pawns, and block out quadrants of the board. Furthermore, it
includes an opening memorization trainer. The Palm & Pocket PC versions are
missing the mate, opening trainer, and Vince.
Changes: The chess board Swing component has been broken out into its own
library, along with an applet to demonstrate its use.

you are in a switched LAN or not, and to use OS fingerprints (active or
passive) to let you know the geometry of the LAN.
Changes: Two new operators were added to the filter engine: INC (+=) and
DEC (-=). The compilation of some plugins and an issue with the dhcp
spoofing module against windows client were fixed. A serious security bug
was eradicated from the curses GUI.

Sun, May 29th 2005 11:41
Communications
Communications :: Internet Phone
Communications :: Telephony
About: Flash Operator Panel displays information about your Asterisk PBX
activity in real time via a standard Web browser with the Flash plugin.
The display and button layout is configurable, so you can have more than
100 buttons on the screen at once. It also supports contexts: you can have

[017] - fwknop 0.9.0
by Michael Rash (http://freshmeat.net/users/michaelrash/)
Sun, May 29th 2005 16:45
Security
System :: Monitoring
System :: Networking :: Firewalls
About: fwknop is a flexible port knocking implementation that is based
around iptables. Both shared knock sequences and encrypted knock sequences
are supported. In addition, fwknop makes use of passive OS fingerprinting
signatures derived from p0f to ensure the OS that initiates a knock
sequence conforms to a specific type. This makes it possible to allow,
say, only Linux systems to connect to your SSH daemon. Both the knock
sequences and OS fingerprinting are completely implemented around iptables
log messages, and so a separate packet capture library is not required.
Changes: This release adds a completely new authorization method that only
requires a single encrypted packet, which is sniffed off the wire now with
the Net::Pcap module. This method is far better than port knocking,
because much more data can be transmitted (up to the minimum MTU between
the client and the sniffing "server"), authorization packets are
non-replayable, and an attacker cannot break the communication simply by
interjecting connection requests inside a knock sequence. The ability to
spoof authorization packets and the ability to read packets out of a file
created by the ULOG packet writer have been added.

System :: Logging
About: Logcheck parses system logs and generates email reports based on
anomalies. Anomolies can be defined by users with 'violations' files. It
differentiates between 'Active System Attacks', 'Security Violations', and
'Unusual Activity', and is smart enough to remember where in the log it
stopped processing to improve efficiency. It can also warn when log files
shrink, and does not report errors when they are rotated.
Changes: This release contains over 100 rule updates including those for
postfix, policyd, naigos, ntp, bind, udev, the Linux kernel, cyrus,
grinch, innd, qpopper, dovecot, pppd, cvsd, jabberd, ssh, rsync, dhcpd,
dhclient, nss_ldap, and proftpd. It also includes some minor

Information Management
Information Management :: Records Management
About: Magellan Metasearch is a modular meta search engine, enabling users
to monitor as many search engines as they want and use a complex query
language with full boolean syntax and proximity operators, which is much
more elaborate than languages provided by Google, Altavista, etc. It can
be fed any sources, since its abstraction layer manages the search results
and their meta tags in a uniform way. In conjunction with the local process
scheduler (such as "cron"), Magellan enables you to save your requests and
replay them later automatically: new results are sent through email in
real time.
Changes: A new source driver for the BlogDigger search engine. A bug has
been fixed in the caching system that prevented cache tables from being
expired. Results can now be sorted according to their metadata.

Sun, May 29th 2005 08:31
System :: Archiving :: Backup
System :: Archiving :: Compression
System :: Installation/Setup
About: mkCDrec (Make CD-ROM Recovery) makes a bootable (El Torito)
disaster recovery image, including backups of the Linux system to one or
more CD-ROM(s) (multi-volume sets). Otherwise, the backups can be stored
on another disk, NFS/CIFS disk, or (remote) tape. After a disk crash or
system intrusion, the system can be booted from the CD-ROM and one can
restore the complete system as it was. It also features disk cloning,
which allows one to restore a disk to another disk (the destination disk
does not have to be of the same size, as it calculates the partition
layout itself). Currently, ext2, ext3, minix, MS-DOS, FAT, VFAT, Reiserfs,
XFS, and JFS filesystems are supported. It can restore disks in Software
RAID and LVM mode. It supports the One Button Disaster Recovery (OBDR)
mode, which simulates a bootable CD-ROM on tape.
Changes: mkCDrec now uses isolinux by default to boot from CD-ROM instead
of using syslinux bootfloppy emulation. LVM2 and mdadm (for Software RAID)
is now fully supported. Perl scripts are now accepted by mkCDrec, so the
ADD_PERL variable should be set to true in Config.sh.

Communications :: Email
Communications :: Email :: Mail Transport Agents
Communications :: Email :: Post-Office
About: openMailAdmin is a little administration interface to every
complete IMAP mail server daemon. It supports every feature IMAP provides,
and fits in most MTA configurations. A key feature is the non-standard,
generic administration hierarchy which not only seperates "normal users"
from "administrators", but enables the mailserver-master to create
instances between them. You will be able to let other users create their
own sub-users and thus either share a single mail server between different
organizations or project your company's employee structure. It excels with
features such as regex addresses and folder ACL management.
Changes: Folder ACL support was added. Now all functionality is to be
found on a separate page. It supports every complete IMAP server. Renamed
to openMailAdmin in order to reflect the above.

[061] - Twisted 2.0.1
by Jp Calderone (http://freshmeat.net/users/kuran/)
Sun, May 29th 2005 16:24
Communications :: Chat
Communications :: Email
Games/Entertainment :: Multi-User Dungeons (MUD)
About: Twisted is an event-based framework for Internet applications. It
includes a Web server, an SMTP/POP3 server, a telnet server, an SSH
server, an IRC server, a DNS server, a generic client/server pair for
remote object access (Perspective Broker), and APIs for creating new
protocols. It supports integration with GTK+, GTK+ 2, Qt, Tkinter,
wxPython, Mac OS X (PyObjC) and Win32 event loops. It also supports TCP,
SSL and TLS, UDP, Unix sockets, multicast, and serial ports. Supported
protocols include HTTP, FTP, SMTP, POP3, IMAP, TOC, OSCAR (AIM and ICQ),
SSH, DNS, IRC, NNTP, Jabber, SOCKSv4, Telnet, SIP (for VoIP), and XML-RPC
and SOAP using external packages. Most protocols are supported as both
servers and clients.
Changes: The new DeferredQueue class has been fixed to properly respect
all backlog and size limits, as well as had improvements made to its unit
tests. The incorrectly omitted twisted.news package now installs properly.
The Qt reactor's iterate() method now behaves like other reactors'
iterate() methods. The plugin caching mechanism has been changed to only
write out changes when changes exist. The Gtk2 reactor now initializes
itself properly, preventing certain startup race conditions, and with
better supporting threads.

[062] - Unix Mobile Agents 1.7
by Christopher Dahn (http://freshmeat.net/users/chrisdahn/)
Sun, May 29th 2005 03:54
Information Management
Scientific/Engineering
System :: Logging
About: Unix Mobile Agents is a generic, flexible, easy to use mobile
agent architecture implemented in a set of bash scripts. This design is
made to be trivial to deploy and setup. Agents can be configured to
traverse the network in sorted order, in user defined order, or as a
random walk. They can also run in a repeated loop, or in a single pass
through the network. Connections are made via public-key SSH
authentication, and the screen utility is used to allow agents to run
without requiring terminals.
Changes: The local working directory for agents has been modified to
guarantee no collisions when NFS mounts are being used to run agents.
Users can now exclude hosts explicitly on the command line. upgrade.sh was
removed in lieu of an agent that installs UMA itself. Agents must now be
shell scripts. This fixes a bug when an agent tried to influence what host
would be hopped to next, resulting in a forking of agents. UMA now uses
rsync to migrate, instead of 'scp'.
