Thursday, December 25th 2003 12:37
Internet
Utilities
About: Bid Monkey is a command line and GUI tool that automatically bids
on eBay auctions at the last possible moment ("sniping"). It will run in
the foreground or background, and only requires basic information from the

place. Among its more unique features, Bid Monkey abstracts the URL scheme
and regular expressions into a separate "patterns" database, allowing for
easy Web-based updates.
Changes: This release adds username/password reading from stdin, automatic
leading/trailing whitespace stripping to the GUI fields, and fixes for
some issues that caused Bid Monkey to fail.

Thursday, December 25th 2003 20:36
Software Development :: Libraries
About: The libcaca library is a graphics library that outputs text
instead of pixels, so that it can work on older video cards or text
terminals. It is not unlike the famous AAlib library except it supports
colour output.
Changes: This release fixes a compilation issue for the NetBSD port. The
S-Lang driver now overrides the 128 color pair limitation under Unix.

[032] - libRASCH 0.5.2
by Raphael Schneider (http://freshmeat.net/users/rasch13/)
Thursday, December 25th 2003 09:40
Scientific/Engineering
Scientific/Engineering :: Medical Science Apps.
About: Devices for the measurement of signals use different data formats
to store the data on disk. libRASCH provides a common application
programming interface to access such signals, regardless of which storage
format is used. Additionally, it provides support for processing (e.g.
detects beats in an ECG) and viewing the signals. This functionality and
the access to the various file formats is realized with plugins.
Changes: The build system now works on Debian, and was tested on a Knoppix
3.3 installation. When selecting an area in a view plugin, the shown area
moves when the mouse is outside the window. In the ecg and blood-pressure
views, the information shown for each beat depends on the available space
(time resolution). The API was extended to support general event-flags
such as an event that was edited by a user.

[044] - Port Scan Attack Detector 1.3.1
by Michael Rash (http://freshmeat.net/users/michaelrash/)
Thursday, December 25th 2003 06:21
System :: Networking :: Firewalls
System :: Networking :: Monitoring
About: Port Scan Attack Detector (psad) is a collection of three
lightweight system daemons written in Perl and C that are designed to work
with Linux iptables firewalling code to detect port scans and other
suspect traffic. 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, email alerting, DShield
reporting, and automatic blocking of offending IP addresses via dynamic
configuration of iptables firewall rulesets. In addition, 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. Psad also uses packet TTL, IP id, TOS, and TCP window sizes to
passively fingerprint the remote operating system from which scans
originate.
Changes: The ability to re-import scanning ip directories after a restart
of psad or a system reboot was added. An analysis mode was added so that a
logfile that contains iptables messages (such as the /var/log/messages)
can be analyzed for scans. ICMP type and code validation against RFC 792
was added. Excessive strictness with FW_MSG_SEARCH was fixed. The
signatures were updated to those included with snort 2.1.

Thursday, December 25th 2003 03:07
Text Processing :: Markup :: TeX/LaTeX
Text Processing :: Markup :: XML
About: References for TeX and Friends is an ongoing project which provides
a help file for LaTeX (and its friends like ConTeXt, Metapost, Metafont,
etc.) using a state-of-the-art source format, DocBook/XML. Various output
formats can be generated from the source file. Anyone can write a
converter for any desired output format. Because the source file is XML,
the easiest way to do this might be to use XSLT.
Changes: This release changes the document root to DocBook "book". It also
includes some minor fixes, and more work on the PDF version.

Thursday, December 25th 2003 05:43
Communications :: Email
Communications :: Email :: Filters
Security
About: smtp-vilter is a high-performance content filter for sendmail,
which detects email viruses and spam. It can pass, discard, or simply mark
an email based on the results of a content scan. It relies on third-party
products for the actual content scan. It uses the milter API to
communicate with sendmail, and backends to communicate with the actual
scanning engines. The backends can be chained to perform a series of
checks on each message in one run.
Changes: A new command line option (-a) was added to define a prefix for
the Subject line of messages identified as spam. A new keyword
("spam-subject-prefix") was added in smtp-vilter.conf for the same
purpose. Error handling was improved in the vilter-clamd backend. Typos in
the warning messages were fixed.

improvement was reverted in "svk status".

Thursday, December 25th 2003 19:58
Communications :: Email
Communications :: Email :: Mail Transport Agents
Communications :: Email :: Post-Office :: POP3
About: Virtual QMail's goal is to create a virtual domains management
system for QMail. It is easy to setup, create, and maintain. It is also
very reliable and fast, and has been designed for big sites. It includes
software to manage domains, users, and aliases.
Changes: The libpqxx library is now used instead of libpq++. The code was
upgraded using Sablotron, and this requires the newest version (1.0). Many
bugs were fixed, especially in the area of playing with qmail files.
Special programs were added for changing qmail files, allowing better
privilege separation. The tables used were changed to store login
information. A module for vqwww that allows one to browse login history
was added. The parameters passed to XSLT were changed, so uri is now
called REQUEST_URI. vqwww was translated into English, and the language
can be selected at login. Better documentation was written. Error
reporting was improved.
