| 2007-06-04 | Updated jpgraph to version: 2.2. | |
| 2007-05-29 | 1727589 | Added the
gparted package. However,
as this package is fairly large, it is not currently part of the
default build. If you build your NST from scratch and would like to
include it in the build, add the following line to the bottom of your
configuration file (typically found at: "${HOME}/.nst/configure.sh" on
your development system):
#
# Include extra disk packages (like gparted)
#
PKGCATS=${PKGCATS} diskextra;

| 2007-03-29 | 1690692 | Finally completed initial implementation of a NST test framework. This should help aid in quality assurance. The goal is to provides a means to demonstrate problems. To verify that corrective actions remedy the identified problems. To verify that the problems do not re-appear in future versions. |
| 2007-03-25 | 1688425 | Finished initial implementation of AJAX framework for enhancing the NST WUI. We can proceed to the creation of "live pages". |

| 2007-03-03 | 1607403 | Updated the Apache configuration files. The default behavior for the web server should be the same as in the past. However, it should be simpler for those to reconfigure the web server. |
| 2007-03-02 | Updated the way that NST WUI updates are built and deployed. Should clean up issue with the 'Click Here In A Few Moments' button after the new WUI is installed. | |

| 2006-11-30 | 1559222 | Fedora Core 5 ships with a thread enabled version of the Tcl package. We have not used a threaded build of the Tcl package in the past, and sguil won't run if threading is enabled. The simplest solution was to replace the Tcl package with a non-threaded version so that sguil will run again. The src/bin/tcl_nothreads_fetch_build script is used on the development system to accomplish this. |
| 2006-11-27 | Updated elinks to version: 0.11.2 (on i686 build). | |
| 2006-11-25 | Added a "lshal" NST WUI page. | |

| 2006-07-30 | 1069797 | Added the sguil package (and a lot of supporting Tcl libraries) to the NST distribution. As sguil is a bit of a bear to manage, a nstsguil script (with documentation!) was also created. |

| 2006-07-22 | Did a quick patch to the setup_nikto script such that it should now work after a hard disk install. This is one of the older NST scripts - and it would be nice to do a complete overhaul. | |
| 2006-07-22 | Added the THC-secure_delete package. | |

| 2006-07-20 | Updated metasploit to version: 2.6. | |

| 2006-07-02 | Updated php-base to v1.2.5. | |

| 2005-08-02 | 1238920 | No longer removing /var/log/maillog after nuking the sendmail service (this was causing problems for other processes). |
| 2005-08-02 | Added /sys directory so that /etc/rc.d/rc.sysinit should now successfully mount the sysfs filesystem. | |
| 2005-08-02 | 1238885 | Added Apache's JMeter appliction to allow a NST probe to be used in the testing of network services. |
| 2005-08-02 | 1070940 | Cleaned up clamav WUI interface and allow one to remove/relocate infected files on writable file systems. |
| 2005-07-24 | 1225585 | Added latest releases of the ipw2100 and ipw2200 drivers. Required addition of ieee80211 module and patching ipw2100. |

| 2005-07-04 | 1227959 | Added the start of browse and archive pages to the NST WUI (its nice and quick right now - but I'm sure Ron will have additions). |
| 2005-07-04 | Updated kismet to version: 2005-06-R1. | |
| 2005-07-02 | 1227959 | Figured out how to get the download.cgi script working pretty well. Its now possible to download files and directories (zip, iso, tar) and optionally compress (gz, bz2) from the NST system. This took a lot longer than I had expected - and I'm not a 100% sure about all of the HTTP header settings. Will need to verify it works with IE browser. |
| 2005-06-29 | 1017754 | Added the geotrace package to the distribution. Have not added a menu entry to the desktop yet. Will let Ron take a look and decide if we want to keep it. |
| 2005-06-28 | 1225585 | Got hold of a Intel wireless card and found that its not compatible with the current install of the ipw2200 drivers. Fought with it for awhile, but haven't got it working yet (surprisingly the same install scripts worked under Fedora Core 3). |

| 2005-06-27 | Updated the NST WUI such that the Restore NST WUI button is only available if the its been replaced. | |

| 2005-06-26 | 1227776 | Added the rsync package to the NST (still can't get over the fact that its been missing for so long). |
| 2005-06-26 | 1225585 | Added the firmware packages for the ipw2100 and ipw2200 modules. The firmware lives on the CDROM, and symbolic links are used under the /usr/lib/hotplug/firmware directory. Will actually be installing a Dell PRO Wireless 2200 802.11b/g Mini PCI Card in one of my systems, so we should be able to do some tests prior to the next release. |
| 2005-06-24 | Added NST system status to the header of each NST WUI page. | |
| 2005-06-22 | 1225585 | Added/updated the ipw2100 driver to v1.1.0 and ipw2200 driver to v1.0.4 for Intel/PRO Wireless cards. |

| 2005-06-20 | Cleaned up the nmap WUI page for systems which don't use eth0 as their network interface. Also enhanced the VNC WUI interface (removed links when server is running with -localhost, dig links for connected sessions to lookup clients, buttons to scan system/network for VNC servers and listeners). | |
| 2005-06-16 | Updated the BASE interface to version: 1.1.3. | |
| 2005-06-16 | New nstvncadmin script and updates to the NST WUI to make managing VNC sessions easier. | |

Selective interfaces can now be used for Snort updates, configuration listings, signal handling and killing and removing Snort instances. | |
| 2005-06-03 | Added a NST WUI query interface for the ethtool network adapter management utility. | |

| 2005-05-14 | 1199031 | Supported the default inclusion of -rdir /var/nst for many of the NST WUI pages (snort, ntop, bandwidthd, etc) after a hard disk install. This means a RAM disk won't be used by default when the WUI is used on a NST system installed to a hard disk. |
| 2005-05-14 | 1199026 | Cleaned up the nessus WUI interface so that it should be better behaved after a hard disk install. It should be working cleanly now and default to using hard disk space after installation. |

| 2005-05-11 | 1199032 | Converted the pooka email client from using a included JAR file to its Java Web Start implementation (download on demand). Saves space on ISO, at the cost of longer startup and a bunch of certificate pop-ups at start. |
| 2005-05-10 | Added a system utility tool: mpt-status to tell the status of the physical and logical drives attached to a LSI Logic / Symbios Logic 53c1030 PCI-X Fusion-MPT Dual Ultra320 SCSI imbedded RAID1 controller. This RAID1 controller can be found on a Sun Fire V20z server. | |

| 2005-05-05 | Update ethereal to version: 0.10.11. | |
| 2005-04-29 | Updated Java to 1.5.0_03. | |
| 2005-04-28 | Updated the setup_dhcp script such that it only installs a default ifcfg-eth0 if one is not found - this should help those which adjust the contents of this file after a hard drive install. | |
| 2005-04-28 | Updated snort to version: v2.3.3. | |
| 2005-04-27 | Added ncurses fdisk tool: cfdisk. | |

| 2005-04-22 | Cleaned up PATH when VNC started from NST WUI. Also fixed bug in /root/bin/setup_vnc so VNC can be accessed from web browser after a hard disk install. | |
| 2005-04-16 | Updated kismet to version: 2005-04-R1. | |
| 2005-04-16 | Updated necessary HTML files so we can start working on the next release. | |

|---|---|---|
| Date | ID | Description |

| 2005-01-08 | Changed the Update NST WUI methodology such that one should always be able to restore the original from the initial NST web page, and have decided to use ZIP files instead of .tar.bz2 as this should be easier for Windows users to work with. Also, set the default location to /var/www/html/nstwui for downloads to better support hard disk installations. Advanced users will also be able to replace the top level index.html file if they want to completely replace the web interface. | |
| 2005-01-07 | Cleaned up issue with using the nsthdinstall script when the kernel version of the distribution to be installed differed from the version that was currently booted. | |

| 2004-12-12 | Updated nessus version to: 2.2.2a. | |
| 2004-12-12 | Added the ability to kill snort processes, erase snort configuration and runtime directories, and list snort status information to the setup_snort script. | |
| 2004-12-10 | 1083047 | Updated the default NTP configuration to make use of the servers at http://www.pool.ntp.org/ and updated the WUI interface for NTP queries. |
| 2004-12-04 | Added support for frames (as well as ability not to use them) to the NST WUI. Updated the nessus WUI interface, added means for loading custom ruleset to setup_snort script and cleaned up a few more WUI issues. | |
| 2004-11-30 | Updated awstats to version: 6.2. | |

Can be used from command line via clamscan -i -r DIR. If you want to run freshclam to update your DAT files, you'll need to replace the /var/clamav symlink with a directory (or link to a directory) that can be written to (this will be automated eventually). |
| 2004-11-21 | Added the netw network testing toolbox version: 5.26.0. This toolbox provides access to 197 network/security related tools. | |
| 2004-11-20 | Changed the default nessus server: nessusd startup configuration to disable logging and plugin dump message tracking. | |
| 2004-11-20 | 1069813 | Added the Roaring Penguin PPPoE client rp-pppoe v3.5. |
| 2004-11-19 | Updated necessary HTML files so we can start working on the next release. | |
| NSTv1.2.0 Released: 2004-11-18 | ||
|---|---|---|
| Date | ID | Description |
| 2004-11-18 | Had to back down to Linux kernel: 2.6.8-1.521/2.6.8-1.521smp for pending NST v1.2.0 release due to Serial ATA booting issues... | |
| 2004-11-17 | Added the tcptraceroute network utility, version: 1.5. | |
| 2004-11-17 | Updated NST kernel to: Fedora Core 2 versions: 2.6.9-1.3_FC2 and 2.6.9-1.3_FC2smp. | |

| 2004-11-16 | Added ifconfig info dockapp: wmifinfo version : 0.08. | |
| 2004-11-14 | Updated tcpreplay version to: 2.3.2. | |

| 2004-11-13 | Changed default arguments for nmap invocation in WUI and added a couple of 'one click' scan buttons. Also updated the BASE interface to 0.9.9-RC1. | |
| 2004-11-12 | Updated nmap and nmap_frontend to version to: 3.75. | |
| 2004-11-12 | 1065300 | Enhanced the setup_nst_custom script so that one can specify the full path to the device, use non-http URLs, and make use of nfs and smbfs file systems. Updated isolinux.cfg such that I should be able to find it on the ISO image (allowing for the possibility of editing it after distribution). Also added a rc.nst file in a manner that it should be able to edit it on the ISO distribution and customize it on a individual basis. Added the NST_CUSTOM option to the boot screen allowing one to make use of setup_nst_custom at boot time (still not sure about my choice of when to execute - defaulted to after most other things are loaded). |
| 2004-11-12 | 1065306 | Added the pooka Java based email client to the distribution. |
| 2004-11-11 | Updated firefox to version 1.0. | |
| 2004-11-11 | Added the IPSec tools: ipsec-tools package version : 0.2.5. | |
| 2004-11-11 | Added the IP Virtual Server administration service utility: ipvsadm version : 1.24. | |
| 2004-11-11 | Added the IP Tables State monitoring utility: iptstate version : 1.3. | |

| 2004-11-08 | Added memory monitor dockapp: wmmemload version : 0.1.6. | |
| 2004-11-08 | Added user info dockapp: wmmisc version : 0.9. | |
| 2004-11-08 | Added system monitor dockapp: wmfire version : 1.2.2. | |
| 2004-11-08 | Added CPU monitor dockapp: cputnik version : 0.1.1. | |
| 2004-11-08 | Cleaned up serveral WUI pages so they will behave a little better when working with processes which may have been started outside of the WUI. | |
| 2004-11-08 | Disabled sound in kismet by default. This prevents the spawning of many kismet_client processes when one forgets to auto_modprobe_audio. | |
| 2004-11-08 | 1034543 | Added the wmlaptop dockapp (useful for laptops which have ACPI support). |
| 2004-11-08 | Cleaned up sound and added aumix. | |
| 2004-11-08 | Updated the X section of the WUI allowing one to configure the DISPLAY to use. Also added additional tips (and even a section in the FAQ) on using X and the NST. | |
| 2004-11-06 | Added nmap and unicornscan front ends to the WUI. | |
| 2004-11-04 | Added Broadcom Gigabit ethernet driver. | |
| 2004-10-31 | Updated nessus version to: 2.2.0. | |
| 2004-10-31 | Asserted serial control lines in the initial boot screen. This allows one to send and receive data via a serial terminal which has hardware flow control enabled. However, hardware flow control is not actually used by the boot loader. | |
| 2004-10-31 | Updated the auto_mnt_cdrom to make use of kudzu, moved USB modules to initial RAM disk and added support for NST_SCSI=MODULE boot option. One should now be able to access USB devices without having the CDROM actually mounted. You should also be able to use USB and SCSI attached CDROM drives now to boot the NST (providing your BIOS supports USB/SCSI booting). This has been verified to work on two systems - however, I've found several systems whose BIOS do not allow one to boot from USB devices. | |
| 2004-10-30 | 1032281 | Updated nsthdinstall script to handle Serial ATA and SCSI hard disks as well as standard IDE hard disks. NOTE: A SCSI hard disk install works in theory as we don't have the equipment to verify. |
| 2004-10-30 | Added oinkgui v1.1, a perl Tk GUI-Frontend to oinkmaster. | |
| 2004-10-30 | Added oinkmaster v1.1, a snort rules manager. | |
| 2004-10-27 | Added the aircrack v2.1 sniffer and WEP key cracker. | |
| 2004-10-27 | Added the ndiswrapper v0.11 project for wireless network card NDIS driver integration into Linux. | |
| 2004-10-26 | Added the advanced web log file analyzer awstats to the NST WUI version: 6.1. | |
| 2004-10-23 | Added a setup script: setup_gpsdrive to the gpsdrive application that creates a user: gast with a backend MySQL database to store waypoints. This can be started from the fluxbox menu. | |
| 2004-10-22 | Updated ethereal version to: 0.10.7. | |
| 2004-10-18 | Added the bleeding edge madwifi wireless drivers. This allows me to use my new Linksys WPC55AG as a network card (my rev 1.1 has an acceptable Atheros chip set). In addition, since the madwifi drivers support monitor mode, the card can also be used by airsnort and kismet. NOTE: I have only tried this on a type G network, though it looks like type A networks may also be supported by the driver and kismet as well. | |
| 2004-10-18 | Added the updated orinoco wireless drivers. This allows wireless cards (such as Paul's old D-Link DWL-650 card) to be used in monitor mode. Being able to put a wireless card into monitor mode is required for packages like kismet and airsnort. If you had a orinoco or prism card that didn't work with a prior version of the NST, you may want to give it another try with this release. | |
| 2004-10-18 | Added support the lrzsz package to the distribution to support for XMODEM, YMODEM, and ZMODEM serial transfer protocols. | |
| 2004-10-18 | Finished initial support for booting off of externally connected USB CD ROM drives. | |
| 2004-10-18 | Updated airsnort version to: 0.2.6. | |
| 2004-10-17 | Added a dhcp server to the NST distribution. | |
| 2004-10-15 | Added Java run time support. You can now run Java programs, use Java Applets, and Java Webstart applications out of the box (OK - it takes a bit of time when it first loads that Java run time off the CD). You can also compile Java code via jikes. No support for servlets or JSP on the web server (at least not yet). | |
| 2004-10-15 | Added the xdm
package to the distribution. You now have the tools to support a full
graphical login. All you need to do (I'd recommend using
lnstcustom):
|
|
| 2004-10-13 | Added the start of a Screen Shots area - I'm sure Ron will want to update it. | |
| 2004-10-13 | 1046286 | Added the BASE package as a alternate (and eventual replacement) to the ACID interface for snort. |
| 2004-10-13 | Cleaned up MySQL WUI interface (smarter about documentation links, returning from service start, and now labels things as MySQL instead of generic SQL). | |
| 2004-10-11 | Updated tcptrack version to: 1.1.4. | |
| 2004-10-11 | Added phpPgAdmin version: 3.4.1. | |
| 2004-10-11 | Added postgresql version: 7.4.2. | |
| 2004-10-05 | Add Screen Shot to fluxbox menu. Results are always stored in /tmp/screen_shot.png. Also cleaned up setup_snort script, ACID version and installation of default local rules. | |
| 2004-10-04 | Added network scanner: unicornscan version : 0.4.2. | |
| 2004-09-30 | Updated nessus version to: 2.1.3. | |
| 2004-09-30 | Updated ettercap to version: NG-0.7.1 | |
| 2004-09-30 | Updated nmap version to: 3.70. | |
| 2004-09-30 | Updated etherape version to: 0.9.1. | |
| 2004-09-26 | 1034543 | Finished up the investigation of adding the wmlaptop dockapp to the NST distribution. While I love running this application under Fedora Core 2 on my Dell laptop, it just isn't a good fit with the current NST distribution and can't be easily made to work. |
| 2004-09-27 | Added weather plus dockapp: wmweather+ version : 2.9. | |
| 2004-09-27 | Added network monitor dockapp: wmnd version : 0.4.10. | |
| 2004-09-27 | Added system monitor dockapp: wmsm version : 0.2.0. | |
| 2004-09-27 | Added a dockapp sub-menu to NST fluxbox menu. Started using the slit with fluxbox. | |
| 2004-09-26 | 1032281 | Updated the nsthdinstall script to make a better guess at the grub.conf template file it generates. It makes uses of the /boot/grub/device.map file to convert from Linux device name back to the grub disk name. Also, updated the generation of the /etc/fstab file to include any Linux swap partitions detected during the install (even added some tips to the long help explaining how one creates Linux swap partitions). |
| 2004-09-26 | 1033386 | Added the gtkterm package to NST. This is similar to minicom. It may not be quite as nice at terminal emulation, but the hex input/output and control line displays are very nice when working with serial data streams. |
| 2004-09-26 | 1033380 | Added the aterm package to NST. This requires a bit less memory than xterm and has some interesting menu possibilities. Used one of the default menus to give Ron a feel for the possibilities. |
| 2004-09-21 | 1032281 | Added the nsthdinstall script to the distribution. This allows one to install the NST to a hard disk partition if they so desire. I did not spend much time on the grub splash image as I know Ron will want to tweak it. I did figure out the sequence of commands necessary to take a base PNG file, process it through ImageMagick to overlay text and reduce the number of colors, and then use various utilities (including sed of all things) to tweak the XPM output file such that it would be acceptable to grub. The next time I need to produce a grub splash image from a PNG file, I'm going to refer to src/packages/system/nsthdinstall.sh. |
| 2004-09-17 | Added gpsdrive version: 2.09. | |
| 2004-09-17 | Updated fluxbox version to: 0.9.10. | |
| 2004-09-14 | Added the lddcheck script to help track down missing libraries (or programs that won't run due to missing libraries). Also, made use of this script in the build process to determine what files can be stripped during the post install of the ISO creation. | |
| 2004-09-10 | Added the phpSysInfo package. Currently it has all themes and languages - will let Ron take a look and then we'll decide on whether we should try and save some space and remove some its files. | |
| 2004-09-04 | Cleaned up most of the packages so almost everything you can get to from the WUI or desktop now works. Biggest change has been trying out the compressed ISO file system which has reduced the uncompressed ISO image to less than 310MB! | |
| 2004-08-02 | Moved a few more libraries to the initial RAM disk - still not able to boot base. Also updated the auto_mnt_cdrom script to search for IDE drives. Still need to figure out what to do if someone has a real SCSI CDROM drive. | |
| 2004-07-28 | Updated nmap version to: 3.55. | |
| 2004-07-28 | Updated nmap_frontend version to: 3.55. | |
| 2004-07-15 | 991814 | Added the fluxbox window manager to the distribution and made it the default choice over vtwm. Not all of the menu choices are working yet - but its usable. |
| 2004-07-15 | Committed MANY files that Paul had modified in order to build the NST on top of a Fedora Core 2 base distribution. Note, the CVS repository will not yet build a complete NST. Paul just needed to save a lot of work. The following do appear to work: Connect via ssh, connect via httpd, vnc, login at console, bring up X via startx, run firefox and ethereal. | |
| 2004-07-11 | Updated necessary HTML files so we can start working on the next release. | |
| NSTv1.0.5 Released: 2004-07-11 | ||
|---|---|---|
| Date | ID | Description |
| 2004-07-11 | 988880 | Initial addition of the argus package. Will need to talk with Ron about the graphing, SSL, and paging features. |

| 2004-06-25 | Added gtkspell version: 2.0.4 for gaim version: 0.79 | |
| 2004-06-25 | Updated firefox to version .9 and removed the flash-plugin package (license does not appear to allow one to bundle it with a distribution). | |
| 2004-06-21 | Added WUI page for setting up a NST probe as a snort collector. | |
| 2004-06-21 | Added a Run Command utility to the WUI. It will let you run arbitrary commands as root on the NST probe and let you view the results. It's not nearly as nice as standard ssh access, but might be useful in a pinch. | |
| 2004-06-19 | Copied the X menu to its own table in the WUI. So, if you have a X server running on a client machine (Linux and Mac users), you should now be able to launch all of the NST desktop applications from the WUI. | |
| 2004-06-19 | 968394 | Added a WUI front end to administer the sendmail service. It makes use of the setup_sendmail and new test_sendmail scripts. |
| 2004-06-14 | The NST setup_snort script has been modified to support user selectable RAM disk creation. One can also select a directory on a local attached hard disk or network file system. The RAM disk can now be as large as 2GBytes. Also, a separate collector mode has been added. | |
| 2004-06-14 | The NST setup_mysql script has been modified to support user selectable RAM disk creation. One can also select a directory on a local attached hard disk or network file system. The RAM disk can now be as large as 2GBytes. | |
| 2004-06-14 | These scripts: create_ramdisk, setup_mysql, and setup_snort have been modified to display minimal output upon execution of the script by default. A verbose switch '-v' has been added if one needs detailed script execution. | |
| 2004-06-14 | 968394 | Added the sendmail package and a setup_sendmail script so that one can use sendmail for sending out email on a NST probe as well as act as a SMTP server. |
| 2004-06-13 | Added --public-name and --public-domain options to the NST getipaddr script. | |
| 2004-06-10 | Updated syslinux to release 2.09. | |
| 2004-06-09 | Updated snort to release 2.1.3. | |
| 2004-06-07 | Added NSTCTSNORTPASSWD and a --ct-snort-passwd PASSWD configure option. This allows one to configure the snort database password at build time, and/or change it in the single /etc/nst.conf file location at run time. | |
| 2004-06-04 | Updated tightvnc to release 1.3dev5. | |
| 2004-06-04 | 966221 | Added the rpm2cpio utility so that one will be able to extract files from RPM package files. |
| 2004-05-29 | 943732 | Added section to the User's Guide on using bandwidthd from the NST WUI. |
| 2004-05-29 | 958165 | Added sections to the FAQ on changes to the boot password policy (and how to adjust it in the coming 1.0.5 release). |
| 2004-05-21 | 958165 | Added the make release-info target to the top level build. This is intended to be run after one has prepared a .iso.gz file to publically release. It generates a release XML file with information about the release. From this XML file, it then generates the HTML manifest associated with the release and a nstisopasswd.bash script to allow one to change the default password in the ISO image file prior to burning it to CD. |
| 2004-05-19 | 956721 | Added the kbd package to the distribution and a short blurb in the FAQ on how to change the console keyboard mapping. |
| 2004-05-19 | Added a new isolinux boot configs: 'base' - no ramdisk_size linux kernel parameter is associated with this config. User input is required to specify a max RAM disk size. ramdisk_size must be at least 65536 or greater. The ramdisk_size limit has been increased to 2GBs: 2097152 for all NST isolinux boot configs. This will allow RAM Disk creation with an upper limit of 2GBs for memory rich systems running NST. | |
| 2004-05-15 | Updated php-jpgraph version to: 1.15. | |
| 2004-05-13 | Updated ethereal version to: 0.10.4. | |
| 2004-05-12 | Added additional web based tool links to the IP Tools page. | |
| 2004-05-12 | Added TCP/IP connection tracking monitor: tcptrack version: 1.1.1-1 | |
| 2004-05-10 | Added NetBIOS name information scanner: nbtscan version: 1.5.1 | |
| 2004-05-09 | Added network packet generator utility: packETH version: 1.2 | |
| 2004-05-07 | 949320 | Added the Iperf network performance and bandwidth measurement tool |
| 2004-05-03 | 943732 | Added network utilization monitoring tool: BandwidthD, version: 1.2.1b |
| 2004-05-01 | Updated NST kernel to: RedHat 2.4.20-31.9. | |
| 2004-05-01 | Updated kernel-ntfs version to: 2.4.20-31.9. | |
| 2004-04-28 | 942747 | Migrated to tightvnc for VNC server/client. Also updated the web interface to allow one to specify geometry and color depth prior to starting the server. The web interface also provides a link and button to launch the Java VNC client (for those not wishing to install a native client). |
| 2004-04-27 | 941868 | Added the dvd+rw-tools package and included a short section in the User's Guide on how to burn a DVD. |
| 2004-04-26 | Added MD5 information for released files (in the manifest) and directions on how to do this each time we have a release. | |
| 2004-04-26 | Cleaned up setup_vnc script and WUI interface which can both be used to start up the vnc server. Default screen resolution is now 1000x720 (should fit cleanly on a typical 1024x768 display). User can now specify geometry and color depth when using the script or WUI interface. | |
| 2004-04-26 | Cleaned up auto_config_net192 script. | |
| 2004-04-25 | Added a 'Getting Started' section to the beginning of the User's Guide. | |
| 2004-04-25 | Added new ttcp: nttcp version: 1.47 | |
| 2004-04-25 | Added firewall GUI: firestarter version: 0.9.0-1 | |
| 2004-04-25 | Added firewalk version: 5.0 | |
| 2004-04-25 | Updated honeyd version to: 0.8b. - rewrote the NST install script for this package. | |
| 2004-04-25 | Added a fetch and install script for libdnet version: 1.7 - needed for honeyd build. | |
| 2004-04-25 | Added a fetch and build script for libevent version: 0.8 - needed for honeyd build. | |
| 2004-04-25 | Updated ngrep version to: 1.42. | |
| 2004-04-25 | Updated elinks version to: 0.9.1. | |
| 2004-04-25 | Updated rdesktop version to: 1.3.1. | |
| 2004-04-23 | Updated gkismet version to: 0.0.8. | |
| 2004-04-21 | 937799 | Andrew Kirch pointed out that it was a bad idea to make the default NST password available on a NST web server without authentication. Authentication is now required at initial access to the NST web server (instead of waiting for a user to access the WUI). This will make it a bit more difficult to find the default password. It offers a little bit of protection for the new users that might inadvertently put a NST on the Internet without first using the nstpasswd to change the NST passwords. |
| 2004-04-20 | Added a python front-end: EtherApeFE to start EtherApe from the GUI: (i.e. X or VNC) | |
| 2004-04-19 | Added the network monitoring tool: EtherApe v0.9.0. Thanks to the suggestion by: Andrew D Kirch. | |
| 2004-04-18 | Updated linux-wlan-ng version to: 0.2.1-pre20. | |
| 2004-04-18 | Add a fetch and build script for the Marvell Yukon Gigabit Ethernet 10/100/1000Base-T Adapter: sk98lin. | |
| 2004-04-18 | Add a fetch and build script for the Broadcom NIC adapter: bm44. | |
| 2004-04-18 | Finished a section in the User's Guide: VPN: PPP Tunneled Over SSH Effective Throughput Rate Discussion. | |
| 2004-04-18 | Updated hwdata to version: 0.114-1. | |
| 2004-04-17 | 924886 | Added a section to the User's Guide on using nessus via the NST Web User Interface (WUI). |
| 2004-04-09 | Updated kismet version to: 2004-04-R1. | |
| 2004-04-07 | Updated the technical documentation with additional notes on creating a release and a section on downloading and burning the ISO image. | |
| 2004-04-07 | Updated necessary HTML files so we can start working on the next release. Updated the steps to follow when creating a release. | |
| NSTv1.0.4 Released: 2003-04-06 | ||
|---|---|---|
| Date | ID | Description |
| 2004-04-01 | Updated snort version to 2.1.2-2. | |
| 2004-03-31 | Added the GAIM messaging client. | |
| 2004-03-30 | Added GTK+ GUI frontend program to Kismet: gkismet. | |
| 2004-03-30 | Added VLAN (802.1q) configuration program: vconfig. | |
| 2004-03-28 | 902156 | Cleaned up the /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts directory to put it more in line with a standard RedHat 9.0 system. This was a bit scary (as there were many networking scripts affected), but I think it is worth it. The /etc/rc.d/init.d/network script now works to start and stop networking. Also, PCMCIA network cards are much better behaved. This also addresses bug 901041. Paul has tested the fix using both a Ethernet card and Wireless Adapter in his old Sager laptop. |
| 2004-03-28 | After running make package-check-url, Paul decided to take the time to update the packages.tsv table. Quick summary: flash - updated version and fixed table entry, ntop - fixed table entry, john - updated version and package URL, hping2 - updated package URL, libnet - updated version. | |
| 2004-03-26 | Updated tcpreplay version to: 2.0.3. | |
| 2004-03-26 | Updated ethereal version to: 0.10.3. | |
| 2004-03-26 | Updated ntop version to: 3.0. | |
| 2004-03-26 | Added gdome2 - a fast, light and complete DOM level2 implementation based on libxml2 - needed by the new version of ntop v3.0. | |
| 2004-03-25 | Added the GnuPlot utility to the NST distribution for plotting the stats from the tcpstats utility. | |
| 2004-03-25 | Added the tcpstat network interface statistics tool version: 1.5 to the NST distribution... | |
| 2004-03-16 | Updated the methodology for maintaining and presenting the manifest information. It still requires a bit of hand tweaking after each release - but it's a bit cleaner. | |
| NSTv1.0.3 Released: 2003-03-16 | ||
|---|---|---|
| Date | ID | Description |
| 2004-03-15 | After creating at 1.0.2 release, we found that some of the HTML output was not correct (in particular the automatic creation of the manifest was not working properly). Decided to clean this up and have a 1.0.3 release instead of 1.0.2. | |
| 2004-03-02 | Added ImageMagick's identify to the NST distribution. | |
| 2004-03-02 | Added ImageMagick's convert to the NST distribution. | |
| 2004-03-02 | Added ImageMagick's display to the NST distribution. | |
| 2004-03-02 | removed gqview in favor of ImageMagick's display. | |
| 2004-03-02 | Updated kismet version to: Feb.04.01. | |
| 2004-02-29 | Added Macromedia's Flash Plugin v6.0.79-2 to the firefox web browser. | |
| 2004-02-26 | Updated snort version to: 2.1.1-1. | |
| 2004-02-24 | Updated ethereal version to: 0.10.2 using GTK2. | |
| 2004-02-21 | Updated ethereal version to: 0.10.1 using GTK2. | |
| 2004-02-21 | Updated kernel-ntfs version to: 2.4.20-30.9. | |
| 2004-02-21 | Updated linux-wlan-ng version to: 0.2.1-pre19. | |
| 2004-02-21 | Updated NST kernel to: RedHat 2.4.20-30.9. | |
| 2004-02-21 | Add the ability to disable TCP/IP timestamps for PPP over SSH VPNs. | |
| 2004-02-21 | 901052 | Added nstsshagent script to installation, and make use of it for the lsshagent function (in the NST .bash_profile). It's much smarter about figuring out when to start up a new instance of ssh-agent, when keys need to be added, etc. If you want to use it outside of NST, copy it to /usr/local/bin, and run it without any command line arguments - the output shows you how to install it into your .bash_profile configuration file. |
| 2004-02-20 | 899683 | Updated nstpasswd to update the smbpasswd file (works with --batch option as well). |
| 2004-02-20 | 899683 | Updated nstpasswd to update the smbpasswd file (works with --batch option as well). |
| 2004-02-18 | 881783 | Added --boot LABEL configuration option so that Paul can make 'laptop' his default boot configuration. NOTE: I do not show the info to the right if you change the default boot option (you'll see laptop on the main screen, but not all of the options that go with it like you do for the default desktop boot). |
| 2004-02-17 | Added clear text password field for items that we haven't figured out a good alternative for. This (as well as many other configuration variables) can be found in the new /etc/nst.conf configuration file. | |
| 2004-02-16 | 894567 | Migrated to using firefox browser. |
| 2004-02-14 | 884711 | Finished first edition of the quick tour of the web user interface (getting in, setting up snort and using ACID) in the User's Guide. |
| 2004-01-25 | Added a user configurable top level parameter for setting the NST timezone: (NSTTIMEZONE). | |
| 2004-01-25 | Added a user configurable top level parameter for setting whether the NST on boot will determine if the local system's hardware clock is set to local time or UTC: (NSTHWCLOCKUTC). | |
| 2004-01-24 | Added change log link to WUI. | |
| 2004-01-24 | Updated the build of individual packages to omit the building of the manifest, password updates, and host name updates, but otherwise do the same as a full build. | |
| 2004-01-24 | 882161 | Updated the ssh-auth-keys script to actually log something if the user specifies the --log FILE option. |
| 2004-01-22 | Updated tcpreplay to version v1.4.6. | |
| 2004-01-22 | Updated Nessus to version v2.0.10a. | |
| 2004-01-22 | Added a fetch install script for syslinux: v2.08-1. | |
| 2004-01-22 | Updated nmap and nmap-fronted to version: v3.50-1. | |
| 2004-01-22 | Updated snort to version: v2.1.0.2. | |
| 2004-01-22 | Updated snort utility ADODB to version: v4.10. | |
| 2004-01-22 | Added an option to the getipaddr script that will obtain the public Internet IP address for the NST system. | |
| 2004-01-20 | Added make package-check-url top level target to spin through the extra package database file and verify that the package still exists at the URL specified in the table. | |
| 2004-01-20 | Added vncpasswd-stdin program to allow a script to set the vnc password. Updated the nstpasswd script to make use of this new feature. | |
| 2004-01-19 | Added a script (nsthostname) to change the NST system hostname. All appropriate places for changing the hostname are updated. | |
| 2004-01-18 | Added support for $HOME/.nst/configure.sh (it's been there for awhile now). Use 'configure --show' for additional details until Paul updates the technical manual. | |
| 2004-01-18 | Added support for $HOME/.nst/disable.txt to disable specific packages or entire categories from being included in the build. Basic documentation can be found at the end of configure --help output (Paul will need to update the technical manual). | |
| 2004-01-18 | Updated nstpasswd so one can force it to prompt them for a different pass phrase for the ssh key (by default it uses the same password as the root login). | |
| 2004-01-18 | Added ssh-auth-keys script to distribution, allows one to manage authorized hosts on multiple user accounts on multiple machines with a single command line invocation. | |
| 2004-01-12 | Added script: vpn-pppssh for creating a secure VPN connection using PPP over a ssh session between two NST systems. | |
| 2004-01-08 | Added neccessary code such that one can now set the master password (and needs to by default) when building the NST ISO image. It's possible to configure this as well so you won't be prompted. Same script used during the build process is also installed as: nstpasswd on ISO image so user can use it to set multiple passwords after booting the system. | |
| 2004-01-07 | Added password generator: pwgen v2.03. | |
| 2004-01-04 | Added lsshagent function. | |
| 2004-01-04 | Updated kernel-ntfs version to: 2.4.20-27.9. | |
| 2004-01-04 | Updated kernel-ntfs fetch and install script. | |
| 2004-01-04 | Updated linux-wlan-ng version to: 0.2.1-pre16. | |
| 2004-01-04 | Updated linux-wlan-ng fetch and build script. | |
| 2004-01-04 | Updated NST kernel to: RedHat 2.4.20-27.9. | |
| 2004-01-04 | Added custom /etc/ssh/ssh_config file with StrictHostKeyChecking set to no. Now ssh hosts will automatically be added to the known hosts file: /root/.ssh/known_hosts without being asked. | |
| 2004-01-03 | Added tools to Internet site to determine one's IP address (as seen by the rest of the world) and link to grc.com. | |
| 2003-12-19 | Added template and documentation on maintaining the change log file. | |

The change log file can be found in your development area at html/log/changelog.at. This is the file which must be editted to indicate what changes have been made.
Each new release of the NST should have its own section within the change log file. The section should start with the @changeLogBegin("RELEASE",["DATE"]) macro. This should be followed by one or more occurrences of the @changeLogEntry("DATE",["BUGID"],"DESCRIPTION") macro. The section should then be terminated using the @changeLogEnd() block. It looks like this:
@changeLogBegin("1.0.2")
@changeLogEntry("2003-12-18","@nstBug("882161")","Ron filled in the
Using Guide with more drawings related to virtual computing.")
@changeLogEntry("2003-12-19","@nstFeature("882161")","Added template
and documentation on maintaining the change log file.")
@changeLogEnd()
@changeLogBegin("1.0.1","2003-12-14")
@changeLogEntry("2003-12-14",,"First official release of the NST
software which other developers should be able to build based on the
source code available at SourceForge.")
@changeLogEnd()
