[001] - autopackage 0.2.6
by Mike Hearn (http://freshmeat.net/users/mhearn/)
Saturday, July 12th 2003 19:15
System :: Software Distribution
System :: Software Distribution Tools
About: autopackage is a package manager for Linux that is intended to sort
out RPM hell by making it much easier to create distribution-neutral
packages that can be downloaded and run, a la InstallShield. It has
several advantages over both the RPM approach and the Windows
installer-stub system. Although the packages are "smart" and can adapt to
the computer on which they are installing, there is minimal overhead
involved on the package itself. Using autopackage, you can create .package
files and link them to the autopackage network for easy installation using
a distributed apt-style system. These packages also have many other
powerful features not found in other systems.
Changes: Much-improved error handling, a new visual ldd tool that presents
a graphical tree of shlib dependencies, and autogenerated API
documentation. A brand new dependencies system was introduced that cleanly
separates interface from software versions, so writing packages becomes
easier, writing tests becomes easier, and the architecture becomes
cleaner. The tools have been made more fault tolerant--the makeinstaller
program will check your specfiles for common mistakes, and offer advice on
how to correct them. There are also the usual bugfixes and improvements.

[006] - CDemu Kernel Module for Linux 0.5.0 alpha
by Robert Penz (http://freshmeat.net/users/robertpenz/)
Saturday, July 12th 2003 02:44
System :: Operating System Kernels :: Linux
About: CDemu (previously Virtual CD Kernel Module for Linux) is a kernel
module for Linux which can simulate a CD drive that contains a CD. It uses
simple cue/bin files as input for the data that should appear on the
virutal disc. It includes a user space program which controls the kernel
module. This is primarily useful for watching an SVCD or mounting the data
track of a bin/cue CD image without burning the data to a real CD.
Changes: The user space program was rewritten in Python, and a major
rewrite was undertaken in the kernel module. The simulated device is now
accepted by VMware and it has been confirmed to work for installing
software (although it sometimes freezes and can not be booted from). It
should now also work with xine (untested), and will work even with badly
formatted cue files.

Text Processing
About: cdlabelgen is a Perl script that generates printouts suitable for
use as CD jewel case inserts or CD envelopes. Both normal sized cases and
slim cases are handled. cdlabelgen can be used to create table of contents
for music CDs, archival CDs, etc., with customizable logos or background
images, and it generates PostScript files as output. The package also
includes a Perl CGI Web script which accepts JPEG images as logos or
backgrounds, and can also create PDF output files.
Changes: This release adds two additional formatting options, one to
suppress the plaque on the cover page and one to use any string for the
date field.

[010] - Computer Audio CD Car Player HOWTO 2.0
by BlackLegacy (http://freshmeat.net/users/BlackLegacy/)
Saturday, July 12th 2003 12:08
Multimedia :: Sound/Audio :: CD Audio
Multimedia :: Sound/Audio :: Players :: MP3
About: Computer Audio CD Car Player HOWTO explains how you can connect an
old computer CD drive to your car to have a nice working CD audio system.
Changes: The enhancements that this version adds are a power switch for
turning the CD drive on and off, a power LED to indicate when the drive is
on, a diode to protect against short circuits, a fan to cool the 7805 and
7912, a 7912 voltage regulator provide -12V to stabilize the car battery,
and a secured handcraft wood box to make it more beautiful and to supress
a lot of jumps while it is playing.

[011] - convmv 1.03
by Björn Jacke (http://freshmeat.net/users/bjoernjacke/)
Saturday, July 12th 2003 08:21
About: convmv converts filenames (not file content), directories, and
even whole filesystems to a different encoding. This comes in very handy
if, for example, one switches from an 8-bit locale to an UTF-8 locale. It
has some smart features: it automagically recognises if a file is
already UTF-8 encoded (thus partly converted filesystems can be fully
moved to UTF-8) and it also takes care of symlinks. Additionally, it is
able to convert from normalization form C (UTF-8 NFC) to NFD and
vice-versa. This is important for interoperability with Mac OS X, for
example, which uses NFD, while Linux and most other Unixes use NFC. Though
it's primary written to convert from/to UTF-8 it can also be used with
almost any other charset encoding. Note that this is a command line tool
which requires at least Perl version 5.8.0.
Changes: A lowmem option has been added to reduce the memory footprint
when converting millions of files and Samba issues have been added to the
documentation.

About: Critical Mass (Critter) is an SDL/OpenGL space shoot'em up game.
Your world has been infested by an aggressive army of space critters.
Overrun and unprepared, your government was unable to defend its precious
resources. As a last effort to recapture some of the 'goodies', you have

by Pierre-Philippe Coupard
(http://freshmeat.net/users/pierrephilippecoupar/)
Saturday, July 12th 2003 20:06
Communications :: Chat :: Internet Relay Chat
Communications :: Ham Radio
About: CWirc is a plugin for the X-Chat IRC client to transmit raw Morse
code over the internet using IRC servers as reflectors. The transmitted
Morse code can be received in near real-time by other X-Chat clients with
the CWirc plugin. CWirc tries to emulate a standard amateur radio rig: it
sends and receives Morse over virtual channels, and it can listen to
multiple senders transmitting on the same channel. Morse code is keyed
locally using a straight or iambic key connected to a serial port, or
using the mouse buttons, and the sound is played through the soundcard.
Changes: The sound I/O module has been modified to correctly use sound
cards that can't cope with very small sound fragments. The audio quality,
automatic morse decoder, and building/installation procedure have also
been improved.

Internet :: WWW/HTTP
Security
About: DansGuardian is a Web content filtering proxy that uses Squid to do
all the fetching. It filters using multiple methods including, but not
limited to, phrase matching, file extension matching, MIME type matching,
PICS filtering, and URL/domain blocking. It has the ability to switch off
filtering by certain criteria including username, domain name, source IP,
etc. The configurable logging produces a log in an easy to read format. It
has the option to only log text-based pages, thus significantly reducing
redundant information (such as every image on a page).
Changes: Fixes were made for Ident case sensitivity, two file descriptor
leaks, and a long-standing stability problem with the URL cache code. New
Bulgarian language files were also added.

Communications :: Chat
Communications :: File Sharing :: Direct Connect
About: DCTC (Direct Connect Text Client) is a library that gives access to
the direct connect world, like IRC but more file-sharing oriented.
Changes: Downloads are now automatically handled by one client instead of
spreading them among the running clients. A problem with incorrectly
handling trailing corrupted segments was fixed, and users with a slash in
their nicknames are handled properly. Numerous bugs with profile
management in the GUI were fixed, along with a display problem on GDL
with GTK+ newer than 2.2.0, and some random crashes.

About: GTK Monitor is a very basic PyGTK system monitor with date/time,
CPU utilization, and network activity shown in the titlebar. The main
window also provides used space on the mounted partitions, used memory,
POP account monitoring, and a run box to execute a command. It is useful
for those minimalist window managers that do not provide a clock or system
load applets but have a taskbar, such as blackbox or fluxbox and
windowlab. System load can be monitored through the titlebar text
inherited by the taskbar, effectively adding a monitoring area to it.

About: KMD is a multi-processor debugger. It can debug with hardware
boards over serial ports or with software emulators (ARM and MIPS
emulators are included in the project). Using the pipe option you can
debug over the network or any other communication medium. It can load many
executable formats such as ELF, and display and follow the original source
even from multiple source file programs. There is support for breakpoints
and watchpoints which can trap on specific data (such as loading or
executing specific instructions). Support for other features such as
FPGA's is also available, allowing loading or any control required to
drive a specific hardware device. The project uses chump to allow
disassembly and line assembly. Chump also allows new architectures to be
easily added without the need to recompile the system. Communication with
the backend is done using two pipes/fifos using a simple set of codes.

System :: Networking
About: MIB Smithy is an application for SNMP developers, MIB designers,
and Internet-draft authors. It provides a GUI-based environment for
designing, editing, and compiling MIB modules according to the SMIv1 and
SMIv2 standards. It accelerates the development process by providing an
easy-to-use GUI environment for designing, editing, and compiling SNMP MIB

MIBs by hand. It includes a number of built-in basic SNMP management
tools, XML support, and (with MIB Smithy Professional) support for custom
compiler output formats.
Changes: Find and Find Next commands were added to the Edit menu (with
Ctrl-F/F3 keyboard hotkeys) for searching and listing or jumping directly
to the record(s) matching the specified search parameters, which can
include name, OID and record type. A new Table Wizard was added to make
defining new tables easier by creating the SEQUENCE type assignment and
table/row/column OBJECT-TYPEs together, where previously they had to be
created individually. The tabbed panel and graphical tree elements were
made smarter and more efficient about refreshes. Minor bugfixes were also
made.

[040] - Port Scan Attack Detector 1.2.1
by Michael Rash (http://freshmeat.net/users/michaelrash/)
Saturday, July 12th 2003 22:20
System :: Networking :: Firewalls
System :: Networking :: Monitoring
About: Port Scan Attack Detector (psad) is a collection of four
lightweight system daemons written in Perl and C that are designed to work
with Linux firewalling code (iptables in the 2.4.x kernels, and ipchains
in the 2.2.x kernels) to detect port scans. It features a set of highly
configurable danger thresholds (with sensible defaults provided), verbose
alert messages that include the source, destination, scanned port range,
begin and end times, TCP flags and corresponding nmap options (Linux 2.4.x
kernels only), email alerting, and automatic blocking of offending IP
addresses via dynamic configuration of ipchains/iptables firewall
rulesets. In addition, for the 2.4.x kernels psad incorporates many of the
TCP, UDP, and ICMP signatures included in Snort to detect highly suspect
scans for various backdoor programs (e.g. EvilFTP, GirlFriend, SubSeven),
DDoS tools (mstream, shaft), and advanced port scans (syn, fin, Xmas)
which are easily leveraged against a machine via nmap.
Changes: This version features a bugfix for multiple processes being
spawned by psadwatchd due to lack of proper config variables in the new
split daemon config files, a bugfix for old scan messages being
regenerated if a HUP signal is received, a bugfix for incorrectly
calculating disk utilization in diskmond.c, an extended install.pl to
include compression for archived files in / etc/psad, the ability to
preserve questions in install.pl for the psad signature and auto ips
files, and a bugfix for the --USR1 command line switch not mapping to the
correct subroutine.
