[003] - Arno's IPTABLES Firewall Script 1.8.1BETA-5
by Arno (http://freshmeat.net/users/arnova/)
Thursday, September 4th 2003 03:33
System :: Networking :: Firewalls
About: Arno's IPTABLES firewall script was originally derived from Seven's
(single-homed) IPTABLES script. The biggest differences are that this
script has support for dual-homed machines, support for masquerading
(NAT), support for ethernet ADSL/DSL modems (for both static and
dynamically assigned IPs), support for all IP protocols, and support for
VPNs like IPSEC (Freeswan). It also features (stealth) portscan detection,
extensive user definable logging with rate limiting to prevent log
flooding, port forwarding, optimizing the throughput of your internet
connection, protection against SYN/ICMP flooding (DoS attacks), support
for UPnP, and much more. It's easy to configure and highly customizable.
It additionally includes a filter script (fwfilter) to make your firewall
log more readable.
Changes: The $BLOCKED_HOSTS variable was changed to $BLOCK_HOSTS_FILE and
TCP_FORWARD, UDP_FORWARD, and IP_FORWARD were changed to NAT_xxx_FORWARD
for consistency, necessitating a config file update. Additional tweaks
were made to multi-port port forwarding. Support for DMZ interfaces was
implemented through $DMZ_IF. Freeswan Virtual IP support was fixed, and
spoof detection was added for internal networks in the FORWARD chain.

charts. It is a self-contained system that offers simple installation by
means of a bootable CD and ease of use via a Web based GUI.
Changes: A filter edit bug when editing TCP/UDP filters and a stat route
bug when restoring the config have been fixed. This release adds an FW log
archiving function, a search function in Top Throughput by IP report,
email reports for IDS daily, weekly, and monthly summaries, multiple
firewall log reports, an IDS log archiving function, an archive option in
the IDS log search, AH and ESP protocols, and access restrictions for
"monitor" user group. Users in this group will not be able to change the
system configuration; only viewing stats is possible.

proxy workaround, and blacklist.
Changes: This release adds a Czech translation and new robots. Blacklisted
IPs no longer get counted as hits. IPs no longer get counted twice if a
different browser is used. Broken language detection via
HTTP_ACCEPT_LANGUAGE has been fixed. Sites whose referrers get ignored can
be set in config.php. You can adjust treatment of referrers from your own
server. There are a couple of minor bugfixes and improvements.

About: samhain is a daemon that can check file integrity, search the file
tree for SUID files, and detect kernel module rootkits (Linux only). It
can be used either standalone or as a client/server system for centralized
monitoring, with strong (192-bit AES) encryption for client/server
connections and the option to store databases and configuration files on
the server. For tamper resistance, it supports signed
database/configuration files and signed reports/audit logs. It has been
tested on Linux, FreeBSD, Solaris, AIX, HP-UX, and Unixware.
Changes: The meanings of SIGUSR1 and SIGUSR2 have changed to support a
suspend mode for the daemon that allows a second process to download the
configuration file from the server without generating errors. I/O
throttling has been improved to work with large files. File system
detection on AIX 5.x has been improved. The syntax of the configuration
file is now checked more strictly. Compilation problems with MySQL and
Cygwin have been fixed.

Security
System :: Systems Administration
About: slidentd is a minimal ident (RFC1413) daemon which runs from inetd,
xinetd, or tcpserver. It is similar in purpose to pidentd, which is
installed with most Linux systems. However its design goals are somewhat
different. It was written because the author wanted a very small, simple
daemon that would not give out any sensitive information (such as
usernames). In this regard it is not RFC compliant (RFC 1413 requires the
daemon to be insecure by default with secure settings as an option).
Changes: RFC 1413 removed from the package as the DFSG compliance was
questionable. The documentation was also updated.

About: SScript is an object oriented scripting language with weak typing.
It's written in C++ and uses bytecode pre-compilation for speeder
execution and cheaper memory costs. Its syntax is somewhat inspired from
those found in Java or ADA. It has support for virtual functions,
polymorphism, interfaces, exceptions, and more. As Java does, it also
provides a garbage collector. One of the goals of this project is to
provide a way for real time strategy games to separate the AI and game
logic from the interface.
Changes: This release adds a new C API (for C-only programs) and some
documentation for built-in classes. It now includes two syntaxes: C-like
and Scheme-like (usable with Guile, siod, and more).
