parprouted 0.63: a bugfix release which fixes a memory leak which appeared during high loads.
Tue Apr 20 13:53:31 2004
parprouted 0.62: Update to 0.6 which fixes problem with systems checking for IP address conflicts, such as Windows XP.
Tue Jan 6 21:24:17 2004
It's been over year since last updates, happy new year 2004 :)
parprouted 0.5: New version with much improved performance and robustness.
Wed 18 Sep 2002 11:23:34 AM EEST
parprouted 0.42: Fixed bug which resulted in an installation of a route for unfinished ARP entry. More aggressive use of mutexes in the code.
Sun 07 Jul 2002 10:07:10 PM EEST
parprouted 0.4: It seems like a better solution is to refresh ARP entries by periodicly sending ARP requests for them. That would allow for mobile hosts but would have the same stability as using permanent entires. However, behavior of parprouted 0.31 can be returned by supplying "-p" switch.
Sun 07 Jul 2002 11:43:17 AM EEST
parprouted 0.31: now ARP entries are permanent. This increases stability. However, if you have mobile hosts, this can cause you problems.
Sun 07 Jul 2002 12:57:12 AM EEST
New release of parprouted (0.3). Essentially total rewrite, should fix problems with switched/more or less complex networks.

Thu 27 Jun 2002 01:34:01 AM EEST
First release of parprouted, a daemon for transparent IP (Layer 3) proxy ARP bridging. Unlike standard bridging, proxy ARP bridging allows to bridge Ethernet networks behind wireless nodes. Normal Layer 2 bridging does not work between 802.11 wireless nodes because wireless does not know about MAC addresses used in the wired Ethernet networks.
Thu 30 May 2002 10:18:05 PM EEST
First public release of WISP-Dist, an embedded Linux distribution aimed at wireless routers (but it can be used for other purposes).
Sun 12 May 2002 02:11:14 AM EEST
Updates to the IC-RADIUS OR-Logic patch: now proxied attributes will not be replaced by same-type attributes from groups included in "realmgroup" table.

I was preparing transparent FTP/HTTP Linux-based proxy for use with WCCPv2 Cisco routers. Out of that several patches below were born:

redir-dyndest.patch for redir 2.2.1:
To: sammy@freenet.akron.oh.us
Subject: dynamic transproxy destination patch for redir

I made a small patch for redir in transparent proxy mode. If
--caddr is not specified, then the destination (target)
will be taken out from the original intercepted packets.

This way it permits me to use redir as a generic transparent TCP
proxy.
Download.
frox-transdataports.patch for FROX:
To: jamesh@operamail.com
Subject: transparent passive ports patch

Hi,

I made a small patch to FROX (I guess a bit dirty). It does the
following: passive data ports for transparent PASV connections
are spoofed now. The destination port number given by PASV would
be the same as the one which FROX uses for DNAT redirection, e.g.
in the range defined by PassivePorts. The reason for this is that
I use FROX together with Cisco routers configured for WCCPv2.
WCCPv2 is a protocol which redirects packets to cache servers
according to a certain criteria. I needed a way to detect FTP
data connection packets and therefore made this patch, otherwise
ports would be random and I wouldn't be able to make necessary
access list on Cisco.

Oh, and I cannot use FROX in standard, non-transparent mode
because Cisco PIX firewall drops FTP connection when data
connection IP address is different from control connection IP
address.
Download.
wccp2-dynamic-svc.patch for OOPS! proxy server:
Please find attached three patches to the OOPS experimental
release (1.5.21):

1) environment-rh72.patch & gnu_regex.c.diff - for compilation
under RedHat Linux 7.2.
2) wccp2-dynamic-svc.patch - to make dynamic WCCPv2 work.
Protocol field was not set to TCP and service-group ID was
translated to network byte order, which is not needed.

Tue 20 Nov 2001 10:52:04 AM EET
I released a plugin for Netsaint which allows to minitor SNMP interface according to its name, not index number. This helps in cases where interface names on routers change after reboot.

First version of a patch for Exec-Program-Acct is ready (execution of a program on arrival of RADIUS accounting Start/Stop/... records). Seems to be working, however it is very experimental as only minimal testing was done. Please report any problems. Documentation on how to use it is inside the archive.

I rechecked and it seems that OR Logic works ok on the 0.18.1. Nevertheless there was a small bit of cisco_hack.patch which got in the latest version I published so I released an update of OR Logic patch.

Another checkrad patch for Cisco. Adds a new a nas type, cisco_compat (don't forget to change type in the RADIUS server's configs). Should be compatible with both Cisctron and ICRADIUS' checkrad.
This should work on almost all versions of IOS as it uses Cisco POP MGMT MIB, which has been available for a long time. Also it is compatible with both analog and ISDN ports.
Fri 09 Nov 2001 08:29:02 PM EET Update: I found out that it will not work for over 1 PRI. :-(
Download.

Some tips regarding or_logic.patch for ICRADIUS:
To install patch, you must use "patch" command. For example, run "patch -p1 -s < or_logic.patch" from your ICRadius src/ directory.
To debug how patch works, use "radiusd -sxxxxx" command. The best way is to redirect output of radiusd into a file.

Wrote a small CGI script to search IMDB (movie database @ http://www.imdb.com) using WAP. Useful when you're out to rent some DVDs... http://www.hazard.maks.net/wap/imdb.wml

I forgot to inform that OR groups should now have __OR__ inside them in any place (instead of OR_ in the beginning). This way you can play with their check order (all groups are checked in alphabetical order).
And here is an example of using the patch.
------------------------------
Group =BLACKLIST_CHECK__OR__:

check items:

Caller-Station-Id : 1234
Caller-Station-Id : 2345
...
Auth-Type: Reject
Fall-Through : Yes

WHAT IT DOES: This group rejects all users whose phone number is in the
blacklist. Because it starts with "=", it will be the first group which
will be checked.
------------------------------
Group DIALUP_USER_NAS1:

check items:

NAS-IP-Address : 1.2.3.4
Auth-Type : Accept
Fall-Through : Yes

reply items:

Framed-Protocol : PPP
Service-Type : Framed-User

WHAT IT DOES: Checks that a user is coming from NAS 1.2.3.4 and sets
service type to Framed-User, also has Auth-Type accept, which will remove
all Auth-Type rejects in other groups that follow.
------------------------------
Group DIALUP_USER_NAS2:

check items:

NAS-IP-Address : 1.2.3.5
Auth-Type : Accept
Fall-Through : Yes

reply items:

Framed-Protocol : PPP
Service-Type : Framed-User

WHAT IT DOES: Same as for NAS2, but for a different access server
------------------------------
_ACCESS_CHECK:

Auth-Type: Reject

WHAT IT DOES: Default catch-all deny rule, starts with "_", so will be 
parsed last. Authentification will be rejected if at least one group
didn't succeed before. For example it is necessary if you have users can
dial only to specific NAS (otherwise, all group checks will be done, and
if user's personal check items are satisfied, authentification will
succeed). It is a good idea to have it just in case you didn't think
about some possible way for a user to get in.

Please note that if user has Auth-Type: Reject in user's personal check
items authentification will fail immidiately as it did before.

Update regarding checkrad patch: it seems that AS5350 doesn't support all AAA Session MIB, so it doesn't work on AS5350. :-(

Sun 15 Apr 2001 02:46:18 AM EEST
checkrad patch for Cisco (AS5300, should work for other IOS based access servers as well). Previously checkrad.pl was able to check Simultaneous-Use for analog connections only. After applying this patch check will be performed for both analog & ISDN connections.

End of cyrus-imapd-sql
I'm extremely sorry but I have changed my setup to Courier IMAP (to make load-balancing/high availability server setup), and no longer work with Cyrus.

Should anybody to continue maintaining, I'll be happy to help.

New version of or_logic.patch for ICRadius, this time I believe it is safe to call it beta1.
Functions:
OR logic for group membership: if a group has "Fall-Through = Yes" check item, then if this group check items are not satisfied group's reply items will be removed and authentication will not fail.
OR logic for group check items: if group's name start with "OR_", then all group's check items will be ORed with each other. That means, if one of the check items succeeds, group membership will suceed as well, and group reply items will be added to request reply list. Useful for phone number blacklists.
AND logic for groups:If a group has Auth-Type: Accept check item and group check items are satisfied, then all Auth-Type: Reject's will be removed from the check item lists. This allows for AND logic, where it is required for at least one group membership to succeed, or authentication will fail. Please note that groups are scanned in ALPHABETICAL order, so a good idea is to add a special deny group, like "_ACCESS_CHECK", which has Auth-Type: Reject and will be scanned last (so Auth-Type: Accept groups have a chance to remove the Auth-Type: Reject).
NOT logic for groups:If a group has Auth-Type: Reject check item and group check items are satisfied, then authentication request will fail immediately.

Please note that various types of logic can be combined (where it makes sense). Like, you can combine OR logic for group membership with OR logic for group check items, OR logic for group check items with AND logic for groups and so on.

I have released new version of patch for radiusd. Make sure that all your users have an Auth-Type option. If they do not, then please for an update which will remove this incompatibility.
This new patch provides reduimentary NOT logic: if the group has an Auth-Type attribute set to Reject, then authentication will FAIL if membership within this group SUCCEEDS.

Apache: I updated Apache to ver 1.24 with mod_perl and PHP4 (4.0.4) compiled as DSO. Please note that it requires Perl 5.6, which is available in the apache/perl/ subdirectory (and is a copy of distribution from Mandrake 7.2, which installs rather cleanly on RH6.2).
Alternatively, you can recompile it yourself with your target Perl using SRPMS.

Unfortunately due to a stupid mistake I have deleted all updates until Feb 9 2001. Of you have a recent copy of this page lying somewhere (for example, in your browsers/proxy cache) - please send it to me.
Anyway, patches for Radius:
cisco_hack.patch: a patch for Cistron/ICRadius to correctly handle users with Port no. > 20000 (ISDN users). This patch fixes Framed-IP-Address = a.b.c.d+ behavior. Adds CISCO_HACK define to conf.h.
or_logic.patch: a patch for ICRadius for OR logic for groups & check items.
OR groups: if you put a "Fall-Through" check item in group's check attributes, membership in this group will not be mandatory. That is, if a user fails to satisfy group's requirements, group's reply items will not be added, and authentication will succeed (instead of failing).
OR check items: if a group name starts with an OR_, than all check items in this group have "OR" logic, and only one of them has to be satisfied in order to acquire group membership.

I plan to issue an update to cyrus-imapd-sql, which allows usernames like user@domain.com by default. Stay tuned.

Some recommendations regarding Cyrus-imapd-sql on RedHat 7.0. I don't have RedHat 7.0 installed, and most probably will wait till RedHat 7.1 and stay with 6.2 for now. If you didn't upgrade yet - better not to do it, as there are known problems with the compilers shipped with RH7.
If you will try to compile SRPM, you can have a few problems. If it will start complaining about gdbm.h, move it to /usr/include. Same concerns about bison.simple - move it to /usr/lib.
Also RH7 uses xinetd instead of inetd, so standard post-install RPM script will fail when it will try to install to /etc/inetd.conf.


Wed 12 Jul 2000 10:36:57 AM EEST
Finally updated cyrus-imapd-sql packages to new version of Cyrus IMAP and authcheck (thanks go to Jeremy Howard for essentially doing a complete reprogramming of authcheck).

LogScanner plugin for SNORT and fixes, Thu Dec 16 09:43:13 1999
Update:Sat Dec 18 18:29:36 1999: Some fixes

LogScanner is a nice perl script for real-time log monitoring, which allows you to setup alerts based on several log lines (i.e. several attempts within 5 minutes) and other nice stuff. I made a mod for it to check for snort alerts, and along the way also fixed its sample_functions.mod (wrong log lines could be checked in failed_multiple_* and alert conditions could go unnoticed) and logscanner itself (it didn't use to go idle when no more logs were available, constantly eating 99% of server CPU).

Support for snort - hazard_functions.mod

Apcupsd 3.7.0-beta1 fixes
I made some fixes (actually, hacks) to apcupsd-3.7.0 to make it work over network. Also I hardcoded that apcupsd's network processes drop their priviliges to nobody.

isinglass-hzd firewalling script:

WARNING: Outdated. Almost everything is integrated into stock isinglass now.
Download isinglass-hzd
Original version is done by tummy.com, and it is hoped that they will integrate the new features of isinglass-hzd-1.14 into next release of original isinglass.

From original tummy.com's README:

IsinGlass is a script which is meant to make the average user's machine more secure when connected to the Internet, for example, when dialing up via a local ISP. The problem is that the average computer is running background processes (daemons) that the average user doesn't even know are running. Many of these have exploits which can allow another user on the Internet to gain access.
This script has been developed for Linux, and does require kernel support for firewalling. Additionally, the "ipfwadm" (or "ipchains" for 2.2 kernels) program must be installed. For RedHat Linux, the standard kernels have firewall support, and the "ipfwadm"/"ipchains" are available in RPM format.

The script is intended to be easy to use for a novice user and can be installed with minimal configuring of the system, especially when using RPM package.
Please report any bugs you find in isinglass-hzd to ME, not to tummy.com.

XWindow Cyrillisation:

Radius-related stuff I use:

WARNING: Outdated. Almost everything is integrated into stock cistron-Radiusd now.
radiusd-cistron-1.5.4.3-1.i386.rpm (RH5.0, beta8)
radiusd-cistron-1.5.4.3-1.src.rpm

Version of Cistron radiusd I use for authentication/accounting uses of dialup and leased line users.
Has the following patches applied:
MySQL_auth_logging.patch - allows authentication & logging via MySQL, by oyarzun@wilmington.net.
hazard.radiusd-cistron-TimeOut.patch - allows setting Session-Timeout attribute via external script. I use this to limit session time of pre-paid dialup users. Original patch made by offset@eunet.yu, I updated it for new radiusd version.
** UPDATED version of the TimeOut patch for cistron-beta18 by Dmitriy Niqiforoff (untested by me): hazard.radiusd-cistron-TimeOut.patch.dniq

I'm also working on a Cistron Radius Server FAQ, you can find it somewhere in the cistron-radius mailing list archives.
portslave-1.16-4.i386.rpm
portslave-1.16-4.src.rpm

Portslave-1.16 with the following patches:
emumodem
filterid (allows execution of external scripts, with some additions by me)
ppp-setresource (prevent pppd locking up and eating CPU time)
ppp-trumpet
hazard.ivan-realm+ssh-diffs.diff (original by ivan@uns.ns.ac.yu, allows command line parsing for execution from mgetty, passthrough accounts, realms, ssh support, session-timeout support, periodic modem checking)

Standalone patches:
hazard.ivan-realm+ssh-diffs.dif (updated for portslave-1.16-release)
hazard.radiusd-cistron-TimeOut.patch (updated for cistron-radiusd-1.5.4.3-beta8)

As usual, I don't guarantee that this stuff works as desired and there is no support. Especially this concerns portslave, as I didn't test all its features.
However feel free to contact me :-)
