  • silk-{analysis,common,devel,flowcap,rwflowappend,rwflowpack,rwpollexec,rwreceiver,rwsender}-2.5.0-3.{fc15,fc16,fc17,fc18,el5,el6}.{i686,x86_64}.rpm - SiLK is the System for Internet-Level Knowledge, a collection of traffic analysis tools developed by the CERT Network Situational Awareness Team (CERT NetSA) to facilitate security analysis of large networks. This version has been recompiled to use the latest version of libfixbuf for the supported operating system and architecture.
  • yaf{,-devel}-2.3.3-3.{fc15,fc16,fc17,fc18,el6}.{i686,x86_64}.rpm - Yaf is Yet Another Flowmeter and yaf is a suite of tools to do flow metering. yaf is used as a sensor to capture flow information on a network and export that information in IPFIX format. It reads packet data from pcap(3) dumpfiles as generated by tcpdump(1), from live capture from an interface using pcap(3), an Endace DAG capture device, or a Napatech adapter, aggregates these packets into flows, and exports flow records via IPFIX over SCTP, TCP or UDP, Spread, or into serialized IPFIX message streams (IPFIX files) on the local file system. Note that this release of Yaf is not available for CentOS/RHEL 5 due to an outdated version of PCRE for that OS. This version has been recompiled to use the latest version of libfixbuf for the supported operating system and architecture.

  • dd_rescue-1.31-1.{fc15,fc16,fc17,fc18,el5,el6}.{i686,x86_64}.rpm - Dd_rescue is a utility similar to the system utility dd which copies data from a file or block device to another. dd_rescue. does however not abort on errors in the input file. This makes it suitable for rescuing data from media with errors, e.g. a disk with bad sectors. Here are the changes from the previous distributed version (1.28):
    • 1.31: This version brings a few tiny improvements in the output (such as displaying the total elapsed time in the summary as opposed to ETA of 0, and the amount of data really written with option -W). But importantly, it has the new mode of triple overwriting of data (options -3 and -4), with random numbers, inverse random numbers, new random numbers (only for -4) and zeros, this way allowing paranoia-safe deletion of information.
    • 1.30: This version brought a fix for outputting data to stdout and a fix for a possible double free operation (introduced in 1.29). The message formatting has been streamlined a bit. The PRNG can now be initialized from a file (e.g. -Z /dev/urandom). The program now can also avoid writing to a target block if the target block already has the same data (option -W). Think of SSDs or other devices where you want to avoid writes.
    • 1.29: This contains a bug was fixed, where the last bytes where not copied corrected if hardbs == softbs. 1.29 also brings a number of new features; the ability to write the same (softbs sized) block again and again (option -R, automatically set if infile is /dev/zero), the ability to limit transfer size such that the outfile won't be enlarged (-M) and the possibility to use userspace random numbers (libc/frandom) to fill files with random data (options -z and -Z). Last not least, OBS also builds .deb binaries for Ubu12.04 / Deb6 now.

Released under the GPL license, its goal is to extend the original library by adding new protocols that are otherwise available only on the paid version of OpenDPI. In addition to Unix platforms, we also support Windows, in order to provide you a cross-platform DPI experience. Furthermore, we have modified nDPI do be more suitable for traffic monitoring applications, by disabling specific features that slow down the DPI engine while being them un-necessary for network traffic monitoring.

    nDPI is used by both ntop and nProbe for adding application-layer detection of protocols, regardless of the port being used. This means that it is possible to both detect known protocols on non-standard ports (e.g. detect http non ports other than 80), and also the opposite (e.g. detect Skype traffic on port 80). This is because nowadays the concept of port=application no longer holds.

    See here for the list of supported protocols.

    The Analysis Pipeline supports many types of analysis, including:

    • Watch list alerting (did we see traffic from a known bad IP?)
    • Beacon detection
    • Passive FTP detection
    • IPv6 tunnel detection
    • Thresholding (e.g., is total bytes over a limit?)
    • Collection issues (is a sensor no longer reporting?)

    Although the Analysis Pipeline can be run interactively, it is designed to be incorporated into the SiLK collection and packing infrastructure, where it can analyze every SiLK Flow record produced by rwflowpack as the records are being added to the SiLK data repository.

    When a record matches an analysis, the Analysis Pipeline may output the record in a pipe-delimited textual format. Whether a record is output depends on how often the administrator has configured the Analysis Pipeline to issue that type of output. The administrator can easily configure a SIEM to process the output generated by the Analysis Pipeline.

  • CERT-Forensics-Tools-1.0-43.{fc14,fc15,fc16,fc17,el5,el6}.noarch.rpm - This package was updated to do the following:

      • Modify NetFlow v9 support to require libfixbuf-1.1.0.
    • Building
      • Add new configure switch --enable-asa-zero-packet-hack to work around a bug in the NetFlow9 template used by Cisco ASA routers wherein the template is missing a packetTotalCount field, causing rwflowpack to treat these flows as having 0 packets. When the switch is specified, SiLK sets the packet count to 1 for flow records having a source IP, a byte count, but no packet count. In addition, if SiLK is compiled without IPv6 support, the hack causes rwflowpack to a use fully-expanded file format to store IPv4 flow records collected from netflow-v9 probes. This verison of SiLK has been built with --enable-asa-zero-packet-hack.

      • Added the "path_orig" to all input modules (making it possible to "fix" paths).
    • [CHROME input] - Slight changes to the output based on the value of the typed_count variable, also updated the path to the code that describes the transition types.
    • [SKYPE input] Fixed the verification routine a bit, cleaned it up slightly and fixed a small bug that caused the tool not to include SKYPE data when recursive mode was set on.
      • Also fixed UTF-8 support, should properly display UTF-8 by now.
    • [PREFETCH input] Small changes to the verification module.
    • [WinReg] Fixed a small bug in the code that caused the deleted entries lookup sometimes to loop forever.

    • [CHROME input] Small bug to fix UTF-8 support.
    • [FIREFOX3 input] Small bug to fix UTF-8 support.
    • [PREFETCH input] Fixed a bug, added a seekdir so that prefetch information is contained within the timeline if recursive is turned on.
    • [RECYCLER input] Fixed a bug, added a seekdir so that recycler information is contained within the timeline if recursive is turned on.
    • [LIST files] Added few items into the Windows list files, as well as to create a Mac OS X one.
    • [MFT input] Fixed a bug with Unicode support.
    • [RECYCLER input] Fixed a small bug (issue 5) with the path not showing the correct path as indicated by -m TEXT
    • [SOL input] Fixed a small bug (issue 5) with the path not showing the correct path as indicated by -m TEXT

  • libewf-{,devel,tools}-20120416-1.{fc13,fc14,fc15,fc16,el5,el6}.{i386,x86_64}.rpm - Libewf is a library for support of the Expert Witness Compression Format (EWF). It supports both the SMART (EWF-S01) and EnCase (EWF-E01) format. Libewf allows you to read and write EWF files. Recent versions also support the LEV (EWF-L01) format. Note the following:
    • This version provides the development environment for Version 2 of the API using the libewf-devel package. If the Version 1 API is required, install a version of libewf-devel from 2010, for example version 20100226.
    • This version provides the runtime environment for both Version 1 and Version 2 of the API. This means that both libewf.so.1 and libewf.so.2 are provided in this package for all supported operating systems and architectures.
    • This version provides the a set of tools (libewf-tools) that replace ewftools.
  • log2timeline-0.63-1.{fc13,fc14,fc15,el5,el6}.noarch.rpm - Log2timeline is a framework for the automatic creation of a super timeline. Here are the changes in this version:
    • ALL modules/files were run through perltidy using the configuration file of dev/perltidy.conf.
    • Also several modules have had their documentation updated and code reformed to reflect recent release of a style guide for the project. perltidy is not enough to enforce that, but at least a start. Rewriting the documentation (pod) is also a vital portion of making the modules easier to use/understand/develop.
    • All libraries within the tool and the main API have been rewritten with this in mind, making 'man' documentation considerably more useful than it was.
    • [SERIALIZE output] JSON::XS used to serialize the timestamp output, a very simple output module that simply stores
      • This makes it possible to output using this method and then sorting is simpler since it does not require the module to read in the csv and change it into something like a hash, since it is already stored as such.
      • This might become the default output of the tool, and then run l2t_process on that output, turning that into CSV instead of using CSV as default and trying to filter that output.
      • This also makes it easier to filter, based on certain attributes, instead of at the line level. the timestamp object without really doing anything to it. Use that for easy sorting in later stages.
    • [WIN7 list] Fixed a small bug in Win7 list file (and win7_noreg). The evt module was loaded up and not the evtx one.
    • [FIREFOX3 input] Added a check to see if the SQlite database contains a -wal or -shm (in addition to -journal) And if it does, then do the same procedure as if it was a -journal (read-only database that gets copied to a temp location) This was pointed to me by Svante
    • [PREFETCH input] Changed the default output so that loaded DLLs are not included by default, unless the -d|--detail option/parameter is used.
    • [MFT input] Inside the verification routine a check is made to see if the magic value is FILE0, it should only be FILE. Fixed that, making the mft module capable of parsing those $MFT files that do not the standard offset to the fixup array.
    • [SAM input] Changed the handling of SAM database data, it did not properly parse the SAM database file in certain cases due to the keys being prefilled with the CMI-CREATE....
    • [NTUSER input] Changed a value check in UserAssist key parsing causing UserAssist keys not properly being parsed.
    • [WIN_LINK input] The values for mtime and atime got swapped (the correct order is CAM not CMA like it was)
    • [SETUPAPI input] Added a 'detailed_time' check, to reduce the text inside the alert by default, unless detail option used.
    • [log2timeline] Updated the man page to reflect updates to the 'detailed_time' changes to setupapi input module.
    • [WIN library] Added a mapping to map up all Windows use of timezones to the one used in the DateTime library.
    • [win_sysinfo PreProc] Updated the pre-processing library so that it checks if a known transform of a Windows named timezone information is available and if it is it will compare it to the chosen timezone (and change it if they differ).
    • [LOG2TIMELINE] Small bug in the log2timeline library, causing input modules list that has more than one - sign in it not properly verified.
    • [IEHISTORY input] Switched time1 and time2, and started to update the module so it adheres to the newly released, not yet complete, style guide.
    • [EVTX input] Updated the EVTX library to the latest release, version 1.1.1 (written by Andreas Schuster)
      • Also changed the 50 attempts to 15 (in case of an error in reading an entry), also only output error message if debug is turned on.
  • tcpflow-1.2.6-1.{fc13,fc14,fc15,fc16,el5,el6}.{i386,x86_64}.rpm - Tcpflow is a program that captures data transmitted as part of TCP connections (flows), and stores the data in a way that is convenient for protocol analysis and debugging. Each TCP flow is stored in its own file. Thus, the typical TCP flow will be stored in two files, one for each direction. Tcpflow can also process stored tcpdump packet flows. Here are the changes in this version:
    • configure.ac: incremented version to 1.2.6 (1.2.5 had a bad tag)
    • src/tcpip.cpp (tcpip::print_packet): fixed error in fwrite().
    • src/main.cpp (print_usage): fixed misspelling of name
    • src/tcpip.cpp (tcpdemux::tcpdemux): default outdir is now "."
April 10, 2012: The following have been released:
  • python-pefile-1.2.10_114-1.{fc13,fc14,fc15,fc16,el5,el6}.noarch.rpm - Python-pefile is a multi-platform Python module to read and work with Portable Executable (aka PE) files. Most of the information in the PE Header is accessible, as well as all the sections, section's information and data. pefile requires some basic understanding of the layout of a PE file. Armed with it it's possible to explore nearly every single feature of the file. Some of the tasks that pefile makes possible are:
    • Modifying and writing back to the PE image
    • Header Inspection
    • Sections analysis
    • Retrieving data
    • Warnings for suspicious and malformed values
    • Packer detection with PEiD’s signatures
    • PEiD signature generation
    Please, refer to UsageExamples for starting points on how to use pefile. To work with authenticated binaries, including Authenticode signatures, please check the project verify-sigs.
  • AdobeMalwareClassifier-1.0-1.{fc13,fc14,fc15,fc16,el6}.{i386,x86_64}.rpm - AdobeMalwareClassifier is a tool that perform quick, easy classification of binaries for malware analysis.

    The Adobe Malware Classifier is a command-line tool that lets antivirus analysts, IT administrators, and security researchers quickly and easily determine if a binary file contains malware so they can develop malware detection signatures faster, reducing the time during which users' systems are vulnerable.

    The tool uses machine-learning algorithms to classify Win32 binaries - EXEs and DLLs - into three classes: 0 for "clean," 1 for "malicious," or "UNKNOWN."

    The tool extracts seven key features from an unknown binary, feeds them to one of the four classifiers or all of them, and presents its classification of the unknown binary as "clean," "malicious," or "unknown."

    The tool was developed using models resultant from running the J48, J48 Graft, PART, and Ridor machine-learning algorithms on a dataset of approximately 100,000 malicious programs and 16,000 clean programs.

April 3, 2012: The following have been released:

  • yaf{,-devel}-2.2.2-1.{fc13,fc14,fc15,fc16,el6}.{i386,x86_64}.rpm - Yaf is Yet Another Flowmeter and yaf is a suite of tools to do flow metering. yaf is used as a sensor to capture flow information on a network and export that information in IPFIX format. It reads packet data from pcap(3) dumpfiles as generated by tcpdump(1), from live capture from an interface using pcap(3), an Endace DAG capture device, or a Napatech adapter, aggregates these packets into flows, and exports flow records via IPFIX over SCTP, TCP or UDP, Spread, or into serialized IPFIX message streams (IPFIX files) on the local file system. Note that this release of Yaf is not available for CentOS/RHEL 5 due to an outdated version of PCRE. This release fixes bugs in VLAN tagging.
March 30, 2012: The following have been released:
  • tcpflow-1.2.3-1.{fc13,fc14,fc15,fc16,el5,el6}.{i386,x86_64}.rpm - Tcpflow is a program that captures data transmitted as part of TCP connections (flows), and stores the data in a way that is convenient for protocol analysis and debugging.

Tcpflow can also process stored tcpdump packet flows. he changes are: bug fixes and performance improvements.
  • safecopy-1.7-1.{fc13,fc14,fc15,fc16,el5,el6}.{i386,x86_64}.rpm - Safecopy is a data recovery tool which tries to extract as much data as possible from a problematic (i.e. damaged sectors) source - like floppy drives, harddisk partitions, CDs, tape devices, ..., where other tools like dd would fail doe to I/O errors. Here are the changes:
    • New --forceopen option to wait for removable drives to come back
    • New -c (continue) option to resume when copying directly unto devices
    • Return codes: (0 for success, 2 for abort/ error, 1 for incomplete copy)

    • Code cleanup
  • testdisk-6.13-1.{fc13,fc14,fc15,fc16,el5,el6}.{i386,x86_64}.rpm - Testdisk is powerful free data recovery software! It was primarily designed to help recover lost partitions and/or make non-booting disks bootable again when these symptoms are caused by faulty software, certain types of viruses or human error (such as accidentally deleting a Partition Table). This package also contains photorec which is a file data recovery software designed to recover lost files including video, documents and archives from hard disks, CD-ROMs, and lost pictures (thus the Photo Recovery name) from digital camera memory. PhotoRec ignores the file system and goes after the underlying data, so it will still work even if your media's file system has been severely damaged or reformatted. Here are the changes:
    • Fix UAC manifests for Windows, so users don't need to use right-click "Run As Administrator"
    • TestDisk
      • Fix image creation, image.dd file wasn't created (Regression introduced in 6.12)
      • Detect Vmware VMFS partition
      • Locate lost GFS2 partition but not yet the size
      • Log HDD serial number and firmware revision

    • PhotoRec
      • Session recovery restarts at the previous location
      • Better MPEG recovery, there should be less concatenated videos.
      • Better JPG recovery, there should be less cases where thumbnails were recovered instead of the picture itself.
      • Handle large avi files using "AVIX" or mov files using 64-bit chunk size.
      • Rename recovered pdf using the title (not perfect)
      • Major cleanup of PhotoRec core code
  • libp0f{,-devel}-2.0.8-1.{fc13,fc14,fc15,fc16,el5,el6}.{i386,x86_64}.rpm - Libp0f is a library implementation of p0f version 2 available from here. This library splits the core p0f functionality from the p0f application in order to support 3rd-party linkage. libp0f does not change any of the fingerprinting algorithms from p0f version 2, nor has it upgraded any of the p0f fingerprints. The library is required for use with Yaf. To enable p0f in Yaf, configure Yaf with --enable-p0fprinter (see the next item), and run Yaf with --p0fprint.
  • yaf{,-devel}-2.2.1-3.{fc13,fc14,fc15,fc16,el6}.{i386,x86_64}.rpm - Yaf is Yet Another Flowmeter and yaf is a suite of tools to do flow metering. yaf is used as a sensor to capture flow information on a network and export that information in IPFIX format.

      • Fixed a small bug whereas the tool would crash if the local timezone was used.
      • Fixed a small bug whereas the tool is not able to find the default directory (. does not exist) or if the file in question does not really exist that the tool is pointing to... that made the tool return a double error instead of just dying on the first one.
      • The tool will now accept a separate output timezone so the tool can output in a different timezone than the hosts one.
