Free receiver software for linux

MITRE has released a freeware tool that allows a company to check the configuration of their Internet point-of-presence router. Egressor will help companies determine whether their routers are configured to the Help Defeat Denial of Service Attacks guidelines. This configuration of egress filtering reduces the chance that their computers can unwittingly contribute to a distributed denial of service attack.

The tool has two parts; a generator and a receiver. The test generator (or "client") is being provided as C source code and the test receiver (or "server") is a PERL script. Both are currently known to work on LINUX, and the server also works on Solaris.

This egress filtering diagnosis tool is provided as a public service subject to the terms of the License Agreement. This tool is merely an aid; security remains the responsibility of the user.
This tool is intended to assist information security specialists in conducting a vulnerability analysis of their network by identifying potential weaknesses in their network configuration; however, the use of this tool can not guarantee adequate information security or that a network has adequate egress filtering.

This tool should not be used on an information system without the specific authorization of the person responsible for the information security of that system. This tool is not intended to serve, and should not be considered, as a substitute for qualified information security specialists or an information security program tailored to your information system. You should consult with a qualified information security specialist to properly interpret the results of this vulnerability analysis and before taking any corrective action.

Briefly, the client generates a stream of packets, some of which are spoofed. The server listens for test packets, and determines if spoofed packets were received as part of the test. The server then generates a report of the results, indicating whether spoofed packets were received or not. Figure 1 shows the two scenarios that the tool can find including the html versions of the reports. There is also a "daemon" option which causes the server to run indefinitely.

Installation:

Ensure you have a gcc compiler, and GNU make.
Ensure you have LIBNET installed.
Change directories to where you wish to install the egressor directory
Untar egressor.tar:

tar -xvfz egressor.tar.gz

Edit makefile to refer to the location of libnet
Build the package:

make

iowremote_amarok script receives infrared remote control commands via a UNIX domain socket from iowlircemu and sends them via DCOP to amaroK.

iowlircemu provides an LCD driver and an infrared remote control receiver driver for Code Mercenaries GmbHs IO-Warrior 24 IC.

settevion is a program that allows you to edit the channels in your Skymaster DXL 9400 Satellite Receiver.
This receiver was sold under the name Tevion FTA 203 by Aldi. Note that the current version does not allow writing radio channels into the receiver. Also note: This program makes use of undocumented behaviour. USE IT AT YOUR OWN RISK. There is no guarantee, even not against possible damage to your equipment. The program is free for personal, non-commercial use. Commercial use and copying (even at no cost) requires written permission. There are only german instructions provided, but Id not expect many problems for non-german speaking users since the programs dialog language is english.
Download settevion-x.x.x.tar.gz for Linux or settevion-win-x.x.x.zip for Windows. See the "Download" section below. For Linux, you must have Python installed (at least version 2.2) and Tkinter, which might be in a separate package. They are part of your distribution. Unpack the .tar.gz and do a "make install". The Windows version comes with its Python interpreter integrated into settevion.exe. Just unpack the zip file. For both versions, connect the receiver with a null modem cable and start settevion. Choose "Edit->Preferences" to select your serial device. Then choose "Receiver->Read data from receiver". This should be enough to make this run.
Enhancements:
- settevion.py: getDBPRINT: added code to read in SER data entry by entry since firmware version 2.12 doesnt dump the SER data base any more. satIO.read() changed to ignore asynchronous error messages ("trashlog") if they are one a line of their own. Warning message added if Python is called with -O and one of the debugging (-v) command line options is set. Version 1.4.1.

MAD project implemented two protocols designed for reliable content delivery. File Delivery over Unidirectional Transport (FLUTE) is a protocol for the unidirectional delivery of files over the Internet, which is particularly suited to multicast networks.
FLUTE builds on Asyncronous Layered Coding (ALC), the base protocol designed for massively scalable multicast distribution. Asynchronous Layered Coding combines the Layered Coding Transport (LCT) building block, a multiple rate congestion control building block and the Forward Error Correction (FEC) building block to provide congestion controlled reliable asynchronous delivery of content to an unlimited number of concurrent receivers from a single sender.
MAD-ALCLIB library is an implementation of the ALC/LCT protocol, along with the RLC congestion control protocol and Compact No-Code, Simple XOR and Reed-Solomon FEC schemes. Session Description Protocol (SDP) can be used to describe FLUTE sessions. MAD-SDPLIB library is an implementation of "SDP Descriptors for FLUTE" Internet-Draft. MAD-FLUTELIB is an implementation of the FLUTE protocol, and it builds on MAD-ALCLIB and MAD-SDPLIB libraries. MAD-FLUTE is a multicast file transfer tool build on the above mentioned libraries.
Enhancements:
- This version includes file repair server codes and instructions.
