Xapian and Omega 1.0.2

Xapian and Omega 1.0.2


Xapian is an Open Source Probabilistic Information Retrieval library, released under the GPL. more>>
Xapian is an Open Source Probabilistic Information Retrieval library, released under the GPL. Xapian iss written in C++, with bindings to allow use from other languages (Perl, Java, Python, PHP, and TCL are currently supported; Guile and C# are being worked on).
Xapian is designed to be a highly adaptable toolkit to allow developers to easily add advanced indexing and search facilities to their own applications.
If youre after a packaged search engine for your website, you should take a look at Omega, which is an application we supply built upon Xapian. But unlike most other website search solutions, Xapians versatility allows you to extend Omega to meet your needs as they grow.
Main features:
- Free Software/Open Source - licensed under the GPL.
- Highly portable - runs on many Linux, MacOS X, many other Unix platforms, and Microsoft Windows.
- Written in C++. Perl bindings are available in the module Search::Xapian on CPAN. Java JNI bindings are included in the xapian-bindings module. We also support SWIG which can generate bindings for 13 languages. At present those for Python, PHP4, and TCL are working. Guile and C# are being worked on.
- Ranked probablistic search - important words get more weight than unimportant words, so the most relevant documents are more likely to come near the top of the results list.
- Relevance feedback - given one or more documents, Xapian can suggest the most relevant index terms to expand a query, suggest related documents, categorise documents, etc.
- Phrase and proximity searching - users can search for words occuring in an exact phrase or within a specified number of words, either in a specified order, or in any order.
- Full range of structured boolean search operators ("stock NOT market", etc). The results of the boolean search are ranked by the probablistic weights. Boolean filters can also be applied to restrict a probabilistic search.
- Supports stemming of search terms (e.g. a search for "football" would match documents which mention "footballs" or "footballer"). This helps to find relevant documents which might otherwise be missed. Stemmers are currently included for Danish, Dutch, English, Finnish, French, German, Italian, Norwegian, Portuguese, Russian, Spanish, and Swedish.
- Supports database files > 2GB - essential for scaling to large document collections.
- Platform independent data formats - you can build a database on one machine and search it on another.
- Allows simultaneous update and searching. New documents become searchable right away.
As well as the library, we supply a number of small example programs, and a larger application - an indexing and CGI-based application called omega:
- The indexer supplied can index HTML, PHP, PDF, PostScript, and plain text. Adding support for indexing other formats is easy where conversion filters are available (e.g. Microsoft Word). This indexer works using the filing system, but we also provide a script to allow the htdig web crawler to be hooked in, allowing remote sites to be searched using Omega.
- You can also index data from any SQL or other RDBMS supported by the Perl DBI module. That includes MySQL, PostgreSQL, SQLite, Sybase, MS SQL, LDAP, and ODBC.
- CGI search front-end supplied with highly customisable appearance. This can also be customised to output results in XML or CSV, which is useful if you are dynamically generating pages (e.g. with PHP or mod_perl) and just want raw search results which you can process in your own page layout code.
Enhancements:
- This release adds support for spelling correction and synonym expansion.
- Some Btree tables are now optional, so opening a database is slightly quicker.
- The Xapian::NumberValueRangeProcessor class has been reworked to fix a design flaw.
- A few bugs have been fixed.
- Performance was improved in several cases.

squidefender 1.3

squidefender 1.3


Squidefender is a perl script which parses a squid log file in native format for attacks. more>>
Squidefender is a perl script which parses a squid log file in native format for attacks. If it finds an attack is sends a complaint email to the ISP of the attacker. It also has the option to execute an external command to take other actions.
This can for example be used to automatically adapt your firewall when an attack has occured. The complaint function of squidefender is largely based on the code of Wormwarner. The power of squidefender lays in it configuration options which let you easily add new attacks to scan for. Another interesting option of squidefender is that it gives you the ability to use different message templates based on the attack found.
Squidefender needs its own directory because of its extensive configuration options. It allows you to keep the message templates at one place. Another important reason is that it makes it much easier to install upgrades to squidefender. If for example the whois lookup function is improved you can easily put the new whois2address.pm module in this directory.
To install follow the steps:
Download the squidefender.tar.gz archive here.
Make sure the Mail::Sender and Net::DNS modules are installed from CPAN. If not sure Try perl -MCPAN -e install Net::DNS
Decide where you want to have the squidefender directory.
Change to that directory and extract squidefender.tar.gz. This will create the initial setup in a squidefender directory.
Edit the squidefender.conf file to suit your needs. See the manual. If you want a basic squidefender.conf file and you have m4 installed you can first type make squidefender.conf After that do NOT forget to check the configuration file.
Run make timestamp to create a reasonable timestamp file to start from.
Now you can add squidefender.pl to your crontab file and you are done (Do NOT forget the path).
Enhancements:
- Added a lockfile to avoid 2 running versions at once.
- Added expire code to make it possible to auto unblock hosts after a specified time.
- the default is 365 days.
- BugFix: Newer versions of Mail::Sender were not handled correctly.
- A rate control system is introduced which limits the amount of complaints send to an ISP about the same IP address.

irrXML 1.2

irrXML 1.2


IrrXML is a high speed and easy-to-use XML parser without external dependencies. more>>
irrXML is a simple and fast open source xml parser for C++. Why another xml parser? Becouse irrXML is much faster and its very simple.
It ideally fits into realtime projects which need to read xml data without overhead, like games. irrXML was originally written as part of the Irrlicht Engine but after it has become quite mature it now has become a separate project.
Main features:
- It it fast as lighting and has very low memory usage. It was developed with the intention of being used in 3D games, as it already has been.
- irrXML is very small: It only consists of 60 KB of code and can be added easily to your existing project.
- Of course, it is platform independent and works with lots of compilers.
- It is able to parse ASCII, UTF-8, UTF-16 and UTF-32 text files, both in little and big endian format.
- Independent of the input file format, the parser can return all strings in ASCII, UTF-8, UTF-16 and UTF-32 format.
- With its optional file access abstraction it has the advantage of reading easily not only from files but from any type of data (memory, network, ...). For example when used with the Irrlicht Engine, it directly reads from compressed .zip files.
- Just like the Irrlicht Engine for which it was originally created, it is extremely easy to use.
- It has no external dependencies, it does not even need the STL.
Enhancements:
- This release adds support for CDATA sections and some minor improvements to the API.

SiSU 0.57.0

SiSU 0.57.0


SiSU (Serialized information, Structured Units) is is a document creation and management framework. more>>
SiSU is a Serialized information, Structured Units for Electronic Documents, is a document creation and management framework.
Main features:
- (i) markup syntax: (a) simpler than html, (b) mnemonic, influenced by mail/messaging/wiki markup practices, (c) human readable, and easily writable,
- (ii) (a) minimal markup requirement, (b) single file marked up for multiple outputs,
- (iii) (a) multiple outputs include amongst others: html; pdf via LaTeX; (structured) XML; sql - currently PostgreSQL (and SQLite); ascii, (also texinfo), (b) takes advantage of the strengths implicit in these very different output types,
- (iv) provides a common object positioning and citation system for all outputs, which is human relevant and machine usable: object citation numbering, all objects (paragraphs, headings, verse, tables etc. and images) are numbered identically, for citation purposes, in all outputs (html, pdf, sql etc.),
- (v) use of Dublin Core and other meta-tags to permit the addition of some semantic information on documents, and making easy integration of rdf/rss feeds etc.,
- (vi) creates organised directory/file structure for (file-system) output, easily mapped with its clearly defined structure, with all text objects numbered, you know in advance where in each document output type, a bit of text will be found (eg. from an sql search, you know where to go to find the prepared html output or pdf etc.)... there is more; easy directory management and document associations, the document preparation (sub-)directory may be used to determine output (sub-)directory, the skin used, and the sql database used,
- (vii) search of document sets, the relational database retains information on the document structure, and citation numbering makes it possible for example to present search matches as an index of documents and locations within the document where the match is found,
- (viii) "word maps" rudimentary index, consisting of all the words in a document and their (text/ object) locations within the text, (and the possibility of adding vocabularies),
- (ix) easily skinnable, document appearance on a project/site wide, directory wide, or document instance level easily controlled/changed,
- (x) in many cases a regular expression may be used (once in the document header) to define all or part of a documents structure obviating or reducing the need to provide structural markup within the document,
- (xi) is a batch processor for handling large document sets, ... though once generated they need not be re-generated, unless changes are made to the desired presentation of a particular output type,
- (xii) possible to pre-process, which permits: the easy creation of standard form documents, and templates/term-sheets, or; building of composite documents (master documents) from other sisu marked up documents, or marked up parts, i.e. import documents or parts of text into a main document should this be desired
- (xiii) future proofing, a framework for adding further capability or updating existing capability as required: (a) modular, (thanks in no small part to Ruby) another output format required, write another module....(b) easy to update output formats (eg html, xhtml, latex/pdf produced can be updated in program and run against whole document set), (c) easy to add, modify, or have alternative syntax rules for input, should you need to,
- (xiv) scalability, dependent on your file-system (in my case Reiserfs) and on the relational database used (currently Postgresql and SQLite), and your hardware,
- (xv) only marked up files need be backed up, to secure the larger document set produced,
- (xvi) document version and comparison considerations (a) possibility to easily check or guarantee that the substantive content of a document is unchanged, through md5 (or other) hash keys, (b) version control, documents integrated with time based version control system, default CVS with use of $Id$ tag, which SiSU checks (c) SiSUs minimalist markup makes for meaningful "diffing" of the substantive content of markup-files,
- (xvii) document management,
- (xviii) use your favourite editor, syntax highlighting files for markup, primarily (g)vim so far,
- (xviv) remote operations: (a) run SiSU on a remote server, (having prepared sisu markup documents locally or on that server, i.e. this solution where sisu is installed on the remote server, would work whatever type of machine you chose to prepare your markup documents on), (b) alternatively, (assuming sisu is available to you locally but not installed on the remote server) configure sisu to securely copy (scp) its output to your remote host and run sisu locally, (c) request a remotely located sisu markup file and process it locally by identifying it by its url.

Regular Expression, Arbitrary Protocol, Opensource Filtering Firewall (Reapoff) is an arbitrary protocol proxy. more>>
Regular Expression, Arbitrary Protocol, Opensource Filtering Firewall (Reapoff) is an arbitrary protocol proxy. A proxy server is a program which accepts connections on behalf of another program and forwards these connections to the original program. There are a many different commonly used proxies involved, such as web proxies, ftp proxies, and mail proxies.

Proxy based firewalls offer superior protection to packet filtering firewalls. This is because the proxies are interpreting each protocol. This is unlike more conventional packet filtering firewalls which make the assumption that protocol interactions are somehow related to TCP port numbers. Proxy based firewalls offer the following advantages:

Information passed between client and server is guaranteed to conform to the specified protocol
It is possible to specify a security policy on the different operations offered by those protocols.

For example suppose that we have an FTP proxy protecting an FTP server. This proxy ensures that the clients to the FTP server are actually using the FTP protocol. In addition the administrator may also specify a small subset of FTP commands that are allowed, for example no uploads are allowed etc. The best feature about this is that the administrator can deploy the proxy on the perimeter and have the security policy apply to any machines that may be installed inside.

Such a fine level of control is great, but in practice most proxies do not really offer that level of contol, and if they do its difficult to configure.

REAPOFF is an arbitrary protocol proxy. That is to say, the same proxy may be used to control any TCP/IP based protocol - the behavior of the proxy is fully specified by its configuration files. This fact allows REAPOFF to be easily modified to work with any new protocol simply by writing a new configuration file. In addition new features are easily added simply by adding new rules. Removing rules which may not be applicable for a particular scenario can be achieved very easily by commenting these out in the configuration file. The aim of this project is to produce the most intelligent proxy. This is very important for system administrators who need to add a new filtering rule to protect their network against a newly announced vulnerability for example.

The REAPOFF site will have a library of rules, each adding new functionality to the proxy or protecting against a newly announced vulnerability exploitation, in much the same way as IDS or anti-virus vendors include new signatures in response to new vulnerabilities.
