Free audit daemon 1.5.6 software for linux

SLAD is a tool for performing local security checks against GNU/Linux systems.

SLAD has been primarily developed for the BOSS project to work together with Nessus to enhance its local scanning capabilities. For example, scanning for weak passwords with a tool like John-the-Ripper is something that simply cannot be achieved by a network scan.

Therefore, SLAD is required to be installed on every GNU/Linux system where local auditing needs to be done. SLAD can then be used as a stand-alone application or more conveniently through Nessus. For usage with Nessus two NASL plugins are provided for interfacing between Nessus and SLAD

The Version 2.0 provides a XML Interface for Parameters and easy integration of additional audit-parameters and tools. To help the administrator to integrate a new feature-set, a development-documentation is provided with the cvs.

SLAD has been tested and verified on the following platforms:

RedHat Fedora Core 3
SuSe 9.2
Debian 3.0 (woody)
Debian 3.1 (sarge)
ERPOSS3
Gentoo Linux 2004.3

SLAD is implemented in Perl and provides an extendable plugin architecture allowing to use various GPL-based security scanners and auditing tools under one common framework. Currently, SLAD comes packaged with

John-the-Ripper
Chkrootkit
LSOF
ClamAV
Tripwire
TIGER

As a result SLAD delivers reports of these locally installed auditing and analysis tools. When used with Nessus the individual reports are wrapped into a standard Nessus report.

SLAD as well as the SLAD NASL Plugins can be downloaded from this Website in their current stable release V2.0.

Installation:

You can use our "easy-to-use" GTK installer, this installer downloads the lastest SLAD Release Binary, and install it on the target system. You only need to provide the login for the traget system.

ped is a process execution daemon, comparable to cron in its basic functionality. ped daemon monitors a given directory.
If a user or an application drops a file into this directory, ped parses the content and executes a given command.
The syntax of these files describes the functionality: "[from (unixtimestamp)] [until (unixtimestamp)] [asuser (username)] start|restart|loop (command) [(parameter)]".
ped was primary written to schedule time-consuming tasks initiated by a Web application.
< u >Following keywords are valid for config/start-files:< /u >
from < unixtimestamp >
Defines the start of validity of this file.
Optional.
If this keyword is missing, start time is not checked.
until < unixtimestamp >
Defines the end of validity of this file.
Optional.
If this keyword is missing, end time is not checked.
If the < unixtimestamp > of "until" is less than a given < unixtimestamp >
of "from", the whole file is valid, but no action will take place.
asuser < username >
< username > is the name of a systemuser (do NOT use an UID here).
Optional.
If this keyword is missing, the given user not valid or has no rights
to access a valid shell, the process will start as the same user, ped
runs under (in most cases: root).
start < command > < options >
Starts < command > once in between the duration of validity. If there
is no "from" statement, starting time is seconds after the file has
been dropped in.
After attempting to start < command > the config/start-file is deleted;
nevertheless if < command > is executable or not.
restart < command > < options >
Restarts < command > in between the duration of validity (with the
built-in delay).
If the formerly started process didnt exit, it will be killed, and
a new process will spawn.
After the end of validity, this config/start-file is deleted.
loop < command > < options >
Like "restart", "loop" tries to execute < command > every (built-in
delay) seconds.
If the formerly started process didnt exit, no action will take
place, unless the formerly started process stops; if this happens,
a new instance of < command > is started.
After the end of validity, this config/start-file is deleted.
Enhancements:
- This release features better support for GNU autotools.
- Static definitions have been moved to configurable options.
- Man pages and an init script example have been added.
- A memory allocation bug was fixed.

Music daemon(musicd) is a music playing server that supports multiple formats through plugins and multiple playlists. Musicd supports plugins to enable playing of different audioformats. The plugin-api is quite similiar to one that the popular XMMS uses. Currently XMMS-plugins are not directly supported, but if I find the time, Ill make a meta-plugin to support them.
The first reason to make the player a server is to make it possible to use many different frontends and even at the same time. You can use a GUI if you like them, but anything it can do, can be done from commandline too.
The second reason is to make sure that the GUI or X does not crash the whole player. I have found that many software with a GUI tend to crash. With musicd the player is unaffected by this and you can start the interface again.
Main features:
- Musicd has its own simple text-based protocol for player-frontend communication.
- Support for unlimited number of playlists, songs per playlist and frontends connect at the same time
- Support for both IPv4 and IPv6. Also UNIX-sockets are supported for local connections.
- Currently supported audioformats: mp3 (ffmpeg), ogg vorbis (vorbisfile) and mods (libmikmod).
- Support for OSS and Solaris ouput.
- Musicd has been tested on x86 Linux and Solaris 9.
Enhancements:
- Calling play while already playing shouldnt cause deadlocks anymore
- Load command on a file that has too long line as the last line locked up the daemon, this shouldnt happen anymore
- Invalid id3tags shouldnt give random data anymore
- Invalid filenames shouldnt crash the player anymore

Policy Daemon project is an anti-spam plugin for Postfix (written in C) that does Greylisting, Sender-(envelope, SASL or host / ip)-based throttling (on messages and/or volume per defined time unit), Recipient rate limiting, Spamtrap monitoring / blacklisting, HELO auto blacklisting and HELO randomization preventation.
Enhancements:
- Merged OSX -L < libdir > vs. -L< libdir > fix into v1.8x branch
- Added quirk for SIGPIPE on Apple
- Added quirk for some versions of NetBSD which dont have SO_NOSIGPIPE
- Added error message that if we cannot find how to handle SIGPIPE on the host platform to contact the devel mailing list
- Make "stats" command a bit better aligned
- Be paranoid bout our read buffer size check
- Better check to see if weve run out of available slots, if we have emit a warning and close connection
- Fixed potential buffer overflow when line length exceeds MAXLINE

HCSWs Ident Daemon provides a well-written daemon for faking ident replies to IRC servers.

This identd is essentially just a quick and small daemon to fake ident replies. It is primarily intended to provide random ident fields on IRC.


As of 1.1, hsidentd now natively supports IPv6. It will try listening on the same port as it does on IPv4, or 113 by default. To disable IPv6 support, edit the file hsidentd.h and comment out the line that looks like this:

#define HAVE_IPV6

Building:

Just type make

You may have to uncomment the appropriate line at the top of the Makefile.

Installing:

Just copy the executable to somewhere in the filesystem. Or dont. See if I
care.

Running:

As root, just run the hsidentd executable like so:

hsidentd

or

hsidentd

Gizmo Daemon is the Linux Input Device Utility.
Ever want to make use of those keyboard keys and mouse buttons that X wont let you use? Ever want to quickly define a keyboard shortcut to do something like change or mute the volume? Ever want to use your joystick, second mouse, Griffin PowerMate, or any other random device you can think of to do fun things like control applications, switch desktops, switch tracks in XMMS / BMP, launch programs, or do pretty much anything else you can think of?
Are you a MythTV user? Got an RF or IR (LIRC) Remote? Annoyed with how frustrating it is to map keys, or is the remote super touchy? Would you like a simple easy way to configure your remote, and have it function properly at the same time? Want to have different key maps based on what application is currently being used?
Gizmo Daemon does all of that, and more! Gizmo Daemon operates on a fairly simple philosophy: let the user decide. Any and all device events are sent to the configuration scripts, and from there the user can decide what should be done with those events. A number of functions are exposed to the scripts which allows the script to interact with any of the loaded device plugins in any way desired.
Main features:
- Control any application with any device
- Utilize those special keys on your fancy keyboard, even if your X server or terminal doesnt support them! Now you can actually make the volume controls change the volume, or the media buttons control XMMS / BMP! Set the buttons to launch your favorite programs, switch virtual desktops, or run whatever application you want!
- Give per application key mappings, very handy for remote users!
- Fix touchy remotes by removing quick duplicate keystrokes
- Control system mixer volume
- Change virtual desktops (only for EWMH capable window managers)
- Launch programs
- Send keyboard and mouse events to applications
- Send device events from one device to another, or create fake device events (control a mouse cursor with a joystick, or keyboard)
- Visualization of system events such as CPU USage, and XMMS / BMP sound output on visual devices (such as the LED on the Griffin PowerMate USB Dial).
- Fancy on screen displays via XOSD. Now your workstation or MythTV box can have nice TV friendly volume displays controlled by your remote!
- And more! Anything you can think of is probably possible
Enhancements:
- Add Powermate setRotateSensitivity function
- New variable in GizmoDeviceStrings.py called
POWERMATE_ROTATE_SENSITIVITY for this!
- Add PowermateEvent ClickTime property (duration of button press)
- Add GizmodThread class for creating threads from Python
- DO NOT USE!! (HIGHLY EXPERIMENTAL!)
- Add GizmodTimer class for creating timer objects from Python
- Add script 200-Powermate-ButtonTimeout for generating button
timeout events
- New variable in GizmoDeviceStrings.py called
POWERMATE_BUTTON_TIMEOUT for this!
- Add script 201-Powermate-Beryl
- So far this detects a powermate button timeout and
unfolds the beryl cube, and lets you scroll the unfolded
cube with the dial
- Add base script GizmoScriptAltTabber so that devices have an
easy way of sending Alt-Tab events
- New variable in GizmoDeviceStrings.py called
ALT_TAB_TIMEOUT for this!
- Add remote ?00-Intercept scripts for alt-tabbing support
- This allows the default mapping to start alt-tab
and to still alt-tab passed applications (if alt-tab
actually focuses apps) if those apps happen to use
the same button that initialized the alt-tab
- Add Gizmod namespace to libGizmod

ESE Key Daemon is a multimedia keyboard driver for Linux. No kernel patch is needed.
ESE Key Daemon is a userspace program which pools /dev/input/event interfaces for incoming keyboard key presses.
Enhancements:
- A bug in the configuration file handling routines was fixed.
