This alpha build is intended for developers, integrators and curious users. Typical uses for this alpha build: final integration testing for third party developers; testing new hardware and drivers with the Linux 2.6.18 kernel; getting a sneak preview of the upcoming 4.2 release. This is alpha software, so quite a few software modules are still incomplete or not well tested. The most important known issues are: Webconfig template graphics and icons are incomplete; graphical console tool does not display on the screen properly....

GUPnP application is an object-oriented open source framework for creating UPnP devices and control points, written in C using GObject and libsoup. The GUPnP API is intended to be easy to use, efficient and flexible.

The GUPnP framework consists of the following two libraries:

GSSDP implements resource discovery and announcement over SSDP.
GUPnP implements the UPnP specification: resource announcement and discovery, description, control, event notification, and presentation (GUPnP includes basic web server functionality through libsoup). GUPnP does not include helpers for construction or control of specific standardized resources (e.g. MediaServer); this is left for higher level libraries utilizing the GUPnP framework.
The GUPnP framework was born out of frustration with libupnp and its mess of threads. GUPnP is entirely single-threaded (though asynchronous), integrates with the GLib main loop, and provides the same set of features as libupnp while hiding most of the UPnP internals through an elegant object-oriented design.

This project is free software released under the GNU LGPL.

Arudius is a live CD Linux distribution based on Minislack (Zenwalk) and Slaxs Linux Live scripts.
It contains an extensive set of software tools used by IT security professionals for penetration testing and vulnerability analysis.
Its goal is to include the most comlete set of useful tools and still maintain a small footprint.
Enhancements:
- This release features the addition of some novel security tools: tools for passive network discovery by analyzing broadcast traffic, very fast SMB password cracking tool, a UPnP device discovery tool analyzing M-SEARCH packets, and a few others.

Portable SDK for UPnP Devices in short libupnp provides developers with an API and code for building control points, devices, and bridges that are compliant with Version 1.0 of the Universal Plug and Play Device Architecture Specification.
This allows discovery, event notification, and control of devices on a network, independent of operating system, programming language, or physical network connection.
UPnP is an architecture that enables discovery, event notification, and control of devices on a network, independent of operating system, programming language, or physical network connection. UPnP is based on common Internet standards and specifications such as TCP/IP, HTTP, and XML.
Enhancements:
- Full support for the Windows and FreeBSD operating systems was added.
- Fixes were made for x86_64 architectures.
- Several memory leaks and possible reasons for crashes were fixed.

- works

Arnos IPTABLES firewall script was initially written because I needed to protect my single-homed Linux machine at work. I wrote it at the time I couldnt find any script that really satisfied my needs except for one that was written by a guy called Seven.
I helped him for several months with the work on his script by suppling patches, reporting bugs etc. In this period I was fortunately also able to master scripting for iptables myself because soon Seven discontinued his work, I never got to even talk to the guy ever again. At that point I decided to continue his work, or actually I started my own branch based on his script.
In the summer of 2002 I finally got an ADSL connection at home. Initially I used the iptables firewall that came with the great ADSL4LINUX-package (http://www.adsl4linux.nl). But it didnt take me long to come to the conclusion that their iptables firewall lacked important features like port-forwarding and flexbility with "trusted hosts" etc.
I also didnt like the fact that I had to use a different firewall for my home machine and the machine at work. This made me decide to use some of the ADSL4LINUX knowledge to implement ADSL support.
By now (about 1 year later as of writing) there are only few remnants left of Sevens original script and many, many, many improvements were applied. One major improvement is the ADSL and NAT support (Check the features page with the specifiations of my firewall). For version 2 (alpha) I plan to completely rewrite to script to make it more flexible and to increase the usability for others.
Main features:
- Very secure stateful filtering firewall
- Both kernel 2.4 & 2.6 support
- It can be used for both single- and multi(eg. dual)-homed boxes
- Masquerading (NAT) and SNAT support
- Multiple external (internet) interfaces
- Support multiroute NAT & SNAT (load balancing over multiple (internet) interfaces)
- Port forwarding (NAT)
- Support MAC address filtering
- Support for DSL/ADSL modems
- Support for PPPoE, PPPoA and bridging modem setups
- Support for static and ISP assigned (DHCP) IPs
- Support for (transparent) proxies
- Full support for DMZs and DMZ-2-LAN forwarding. You can also use it to isolate your eg. wireless LAN.
- (Nmap)(stealth) portscan detection
- Protection against SYN-flooding (DoS attacks)
- Protection against ICMP-flooding (DoS attacks)
- Extensive user-definable logging with rate limiting to prevent log flooding
- Includes options to optimize your throughput
- User definable open ports, closed ports, trusted hosts, blocked hosts etc.
- Log & protection options are both highly customizable
- Support for custom iptables rules in a seperate file
- It can be used with chkconfig runlevel system (eg. RedHat/Fedora)
- Main focus on TCP/UDP/ICMP but additional support for *ALL* IP protocols
- It works with Freeswan IPSEC (VPN) & SSH Sentinel (http://www.freeswan.org) (+virtual IPs)
- It works with PoPTop PPTP (http://www.poptop.org)
- It works with UPnP
- DRDOS protection/detection (experimental)
- Its easy to configure
- And much more.
Enhancements:
- This release fixes a nasty bug in the NAT forwarding rules that caused using subnet-source-restrictions not to work.
- It adds an extra rule to the DHCP server section to allow packets from DHCP servers in the same segment.
- There are several plugin updates.
- A Racoon IPSEC VPN plugin and a transparent DNAT plugin have been added.

NeEM is a library that provides an implementation of epidemic multicast (also called probabilistic or gossip-based) in wide-area networks by using multiple TCP/IP connections in a non-blocking fashion.
Epidemic multicast protocols achieve stable high throughput regardless of node and network faults and scale to very large numbers of participants. Implementation is based on Java 5 and takes advantage of NIO. The goal of this implementation is to be small, self-contained, and practical.
Enhancements:
- Introduces logging and the ability to bind to and advertise specific addresses.
- Some dead code removed in the network layer.
- UPnP based NAT traversal sample application added.

MiniUPnP Client and Daemon is an UPnP IGD client lightweight library and UPnP IGD daemon.
The UPnP protocol is supported by most home adsl/cable routers and Windows 2K/XP. The aim of the MiniUpnp project is to bring a free software solution to support the "Internet Gateway Device" part of the protocol.
The Linux SDK for UPnP devices (libupnp) seems too heavy for me. I want the simplest library possible, with the smallest footprint and no dependencies to other libraries such as XML parsers or HTTP implementations. All the code is pure ANSI C.
Compiled on a x86 PC, the miniupnp client library have less than 15KB code size. For instance, the upnpc sample program is around 20KB.
The project is divided in two main parts : the client library, enabling applications to access the services provided by an UPnP "Internet Gateway Device" present on the network, and the miniupnpd daemon, providing these services to your network from a linux or bsd box being the gateway. At the moment the miniupnpd is developped on OpenBSD 3.0+ with pf. You can see some of the work I have done to integrate with pf on this page.
As pf is also available under FreeBSD, guys at the pfSense project have ported miniupnpd to this system.
For some reasons, it may be not the good solution for you to use the code from the MiniUPnP project directly.
As the code is small and simple to understand, it is a good base to take inspiration for your own UPnP implementation. The KTorrent team UPnP plugin in C++ is a good example.
If you are wondering which home router is working with the miniupnp client, you can find the answer here. In fact, you are more likely to help me fill the list by sending me an email.
Usefulness of the miniUPnP client library
The usage of the miniUPnP client library is useful whenever an application needs to listen for incoming connections.
Examples : P2P applications, FTP clients for active mode, IRC (for DCC) or IM applications, network games, any server.
The typical usage of UPnP capabilities of a router is a file tranfert using MSN messenger. The MSN Messenger software uses the UPnP API of Windows XP to open port for incoming connection. To mimic the MS software, it is a good idea to use UPnP as well.
Enhancements:
- This release adds changes to accommodate the Linux 2.6.22 kernel.
