Free hogwash light br 1.1 software for linux

Hogwash is an inline packet scrubber that uses Snorts detection engine to drop malicious packets before they reach the target.

The original version of what is now hogwash was written in 1996 while I was at Idaho State University. I had a web server that when patched, broke the software it needed to run. The box was being taken over every other day so I wrote the very first version of hogwash to filter out the offending packets and name it Scrub.

A bunch of other admins were having the same problem so I distributed Scrub and patches started showing up in my mailbox. It became obvious that some sort of rules language was going to be needed. Over the weekend I wrote the original Cheap and Dirty detection engine.

The summer of 1999 I had an intership at the Idaho National Enviromental and Engineering Labs. They used Snort extensively. I liked the simple layout of Snort so I welded it into Scrub in place of the Cheap and Dirty engine and renamed the project to SnortScrub.

I left the INEEL to work for a startup in the dot-com era. The marketing department considered a commercial version of SnortScrub, but didnt like the name. SnortScrub got renamed to Hogwash as the stackless control channel and other goodies were added to it.

Around this time, Hogwash began to fragment as people needed custom functionality, there were a couple of dozen incompatible versions of Hogwash that were all being maintained seperately. Development of the public version ground to a halt.

As features were added, the Snort engine was showing its weaknesses for doing heavyweight packet scrubbing. The decision was made for resurrecting the old Cheap and Dirty engine and just put a snort compatibility layer on top of it.


That pretty much brings us up to date. The newly dubbed H2 engine will be in final release in the next couple of months.

Simple utility that turns your monitor into a configurable strobe light.

Source code is included alongside the executable "strobelight" in the archive.

Night Light IRC Proxy or ircproxy in short, is a multi-user IRC (Internet Relay Chat) proxy written in C for UNIX compatible systems.
If you do not know what IRC is, then IRC proxy probably isnt for you. A IRC proxy is a program which works like a client and server, you connect to it with your IRC client and it connects you to the chosen server.
This way you are protected behind the machine running the IRC proxy, connecting through a proxy will hide your machines IP-address from other users on IRC.
More simply explained, the IRC proxy will forward data sent by the IRC server to one or more IRC clients connected to the ircproxy, and forward data sent by the IRC clients to the IRC server.
The IRC proxy can also keep your connection to IRC alive even when you disconnect from the IRC proxy.
This IRC proxy is very flexible, it allows to configure multiple ports for listening, access by hostname or IP-address, multiple users and multiple connections and a optional ident server.
This is all done through the following configuration files:
- A listen configuration file (listen.conf) where you specify what hosts and ports users can connect to.
- A access configuration file (access.conf), where you specify which IP-addresses or hostnames users can connect to the ircproxy from.
- A optional user configuration file (user.conf) (with optional encrypted passwords), where you specify usernames/password allowed that IRC clients must send to get access.
- A connection configuration file (conn.conf) where the actual IRC connections to IRC servers is specified, each connection is owned by a specific user defined in user.conf.
The ircproxy can compile and run successfully on most UNIX systems. It has been successfully compiled and installed on FreeBSD, OpenBSD, NetBSD, Linux, Solaris, OSF1, HP-UX, AIX and Windows (Cygwin).
What exactly can ircproxy do?
Share your internet connection.
If you dont have direct access to the internet but another machine (router or server) on the network has internet access. You can share the internet connection using a this ircproxy for IRC access. Even your already using NAT, SOCKS or a forwarding proxy, ircproxy is probably preffered because it will allow you to have ident on IRC, and different ident can be replied for different users.
Get your own hostname from a shell ISP or hide your host behind a server.
If your internet service provider does not allow you to have a static IP with your own hostname, or you simply want to hide your real host. You can buy shell access from a ISP and eventually buy your own IP-address from the ISP to use with ircproxy.
Keep your IRC connection alive even when you disconnect with your IRC client.
If you have a dial up connection but want your client connected to IRC 24/7, you can install ircproxy on a server. This ircproxy will keep the IRC connection alive after you disconnect from the ircproxy with your IRC client.
Restrict data sent to the IRC server to prevent flooding the IRC server.
Solve problems getting disconnected with "Excess Flood", possible cause for this is that someone is flooding you with CTCPs or similar. This ircproxy will restrict you from sending data faster to the IRC server then the IRC server will allow. It will simply queue the data you send and keep it until the IRC server is ready to take more data without disconnecting you. However the queue is also restricted, there is a max sendQ, if it is reached your IRC client will be disconnected but the connection to the IRC server still stay alive.
One connection to IRC from more then one machine at the same time.
With ircproxy you can be connected to IRC from two or more machines at the same time without more then one connection to the IRC server. This ircproxy will allow you to resume a IRC server connection from more then one machine at the same time.

Light Hawk is a KDE Jabber client. It is unfinished, but I have been using it every day for some time now.
Those interested in following or helping development should use GNU arch 1.2 or later. My archive is neil@hakubi.us--terminus and is available at http://www.hakubi.us/arch/terminus/. The branch to get is lighthawk--mainline.
To compile the arch version of Light Hawk you will also need to get neil@hakubi.us--terminus/admin--KDE-3-0-BRANCH and symlink that into the top level of lighthawk as "admin".
After that its mostly an ordinary KDE application (run gmake -f Makefile.cvs to get a configure script). You must run that configure script in a separate directory, though, arch to cooperate later.
Main features:
- Roster management
- Subscriptions
- Chat messages
- Receving normal messages
- Multiple user profiles
- Session management cooperation
- Logging
- KNotify support (including sounds)
- Invisible status
- Away messages
- IPv6, Proxies, and other KDE network features

Q Light Controller 2 (QLC) aims to be a free alternative to commercial lighting software and hardware. The main emphasis is to build a software that can be used to control any kinds of lighting equipment.
QLC uses the dmx4linux driver suite to access various hardware interfaces. Currently DMX512, Analog 0-10V and MIDI control systems are being supported by dmx4linux. Refer to dmx4linux interfaces for more information on supported interfaces.
Q Light Controller is free software licensed under the GNU General Public License.
Main features:
- Easy to use device-oriented interface
- Control up to 512 DMX/Analog channels thru DMX4Linux
- Use one of the ready-made fixture definitions, or
- Define your own fixtures with the device class editor
- Create fast changing or smoothly fading scenes, chasers and sequences
- Easy programming of moving lights thru a pattern generator
- Conjure your favourite lighting desk layout with the virtual console
