Subject: operating system independent software distribution tool "adamoto" released
Date: 4 Jul 2003 10:55:01 GMT

adamoto, an operating independent tool for software distribution and
monitoring has been released.

adamoto is an Application Deployment And MOnitoring TOol. 
It's a client/server based application for deploying software packages
with a web- frontend.
The web-frontend in conjunction with the server enables you to
administrate and monitor the deployment of software packages on the
computers in your network. Software can be distributed to hundreds of
systems with one mouseclick.

The current version is in a beta state and hasn't the quality of
commercial products yet. But it is ready to be used in smaller system
up to 250 system and should work proper there. We want to develop new
features and searching for other developers.

The version supports linux and windows clients.

More information can be found at http://adamoto.sourceforge.net/ .

HACKING THE XBOX: A HANDBOOK FOR A NEW GENERATION OF HACKERS

San Francisco, CA - Reverse engineering, the not so gentle art of figuring 
out how something works by taking it apart, has been practiced by hardware 
oriented geeks and tinkerers for as long as anyone can remember. It's the 
way Wozniak learned to build the first Apple, and it's the way many of 
today's young engineers are learning about hardware engineering.

While many engineers believe that reverse engineering is a protected right, 
The Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) makes unauthorized access to 
intellectual property illegal, including certain types of reverse 
engineering. This controversial book, "Hacking the Xbox": An Introduction 
to Reverse Engineering" by Andrew "bunnie" Huang, tackles the thorny issue 
of reverse engineering head on by showing readers how to hack their Xbox 
(TM). Originally self-published, "Hacking the Xbox" has already become a 
cult classic, selling thousands of copies through the author's website in 
just a couple of months. Now with the full support of No Starch Press (the 
only publisher willing to take the risk), "Hacking the Xbox" is getting the 
distribution and exposure it needs to make it a major bestseller.

"No Starch Press distinguished itself as the only publisher with the 
courage to accept the book without any suggestion of censorship or 
caveats," says Huang. Even with the possibility of litigation under the 
DMCA, No Starch Press publisher Bill Pollock explains why his company is 
publishing this controversial book: "This is about freedom of speech and 
our First Amendment rights. It's also about the way people learn. It's the 
way I've been learning about hardware since I was 10 years old, when I took 
apart my first telephone."

With an estimated 8 million units sold, Microsoft's Xbox video game system 
is the second most popular gaming console on the market today. The Xbox is, 
at its core, nothing more than an inexpensive PC with extra pieces tacked 
on to prevent you from using it as such. With a bit of know how, the help 
of "Hacking the Xbox", and some elbow grease, the Xbox can be turned into a 
working PC, media player, or web server.

Using the Xbox as a teaching tool, Huang introduces novice hackers to basic 
hacking techniques such as reverse engineering and debugging. "Hacking the 
Xbox" also covers Xbox security mechanisms and other advanced hacking 
topics of interest to more seasoned hackers. A chapter written by the 
Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF) rounds out the book with a discussion 
of the rights and responsibilities of hackers. The book also includes 
numerous practical guides, such as where to get hacking gear, how to use 
soldering techniques, debugging tips, and an Xbox hardware reference guide, 
which make "Hacking the Xbox" truly a handbook for a new generation of 
hackers. So pick up a screwdriver and start hacking!

ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Andrew "bunnie" Huang has an extensive background in electronics systems 
engineering and received a PhD in Electrical Engineering from MIT. His 
experience includes work in digital design, reverse engineering, embedded 
systems design and programming, board fabrication and assembly, 
java/C/assembly programming, analog design, computer architecture, high 
speed interconnect and signal integrity, applied cryptography and systems 
security, and systems engineering.

Subject: ANNOUNCE: Spectrum Software Launches First Truly Integrated, Platform-Independent SCM System In Europe
Date: 4 Jul 2003 11:00:09 GMT

Cambridge, United Kingdom, 24 June 2003: Spectrum Software, Inc.,
today announced the Europe launch of SpectrumSCM, the world's first
truly integrated, platform independent, full-featured e-Asset
management system for both software enterprises and non-IT
organizations.

SpectrumSCM - a fully integrated source configuration management (SCM)
system - is an easy-to-use tool that manages the entire project
lifecycle for the definition, development, creation and release of any
‘e-Asset', such as software, source code, text, documents, drawings,
images or web pages.

The software can be installed and run on any operating system with a
Java Virtual Machine (JVM), which is available for all the well-known
OS platforms including Linux. Such independence, and the fact that its
on-board database is 100% Java based, means that the SpectrumSCM
server and client software can be freely moved from one hardware
platform to another without the need to buy additional licenses or
worry about changes to the way the tool operates.

In addition to its flexibility, SpectrumSCM incorporates the Java
Security Model and Security Extensions, which protect key components
in an enterprise, most critically the server, clients and
communications. The tool also includes support for Lightweight
Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) for enterprises that require more
secure centralized user management.

SpectrumSCM allows users to construct automated workflow engines and
interfaces to external systems through the SpectrumSCM API. The client
software can be run as an application or can be accessed over the web
as an applet or through Java Web Start. SpectrumSCM also includes a
full-featured commandline interface.

SpectrumSCM not only delivers savings in terms of significantly lower
pricing compared to similar tools, but also cuts enterprise running
costs by negating the need for CM administrators. Furthermore, being
an integrated tool - comprising Version Control, Issue Tracking,
Process Management / Control, Workflow, Release Management and
Parallel Development – it removes the need for expensive interface
programming.

Introduced in 2001, the tool has been a success in the US and has
evoked significant interest in Europe, particularly the UK, evidenced
by the number of downloads of evaluation copies from the SpectrumSCM
download site. The combination of comprehensiveness, affordability,
ease of use and flexibility makes SpectrumSCM the perfect tool for CM
and project lifecycle management in IT and non-IT environments.

copy

Availability
SpectrumSCM, is available directly from Spectrum Software, Inc. For
pricing, demos and sales information, please contact a Spectrum sales
representative (email: sales@spectrumscm.com) at 001-770-448-8662
(North America).

Hi there,

I've just ported my nfs-swap patches to linux-2.4.21. Unluckily, my test-box is 
unavailable at the moment, so the patches are _totally_ untested. I have just 
checked that the stuff compiles.

The patches are available from Sourceforge.net:

http://sourceforge.net/projects/nfs-swap/

A little bit of documentation about the stuff can be found at the following 
location, which is also registered as project home-page at SF and contains links 
back to the download-locations at SF:

Have fun.

Subject: [ANNOUNCE] nf-hipac: High Performance Packet Classification for Netfilter
Date: 4 Jul 2003 11:00:19 GMT

Hi

We have released a new version of nf-hipac. We rewrote most of the code
and added a bunch of new features. The main enhancements are
user-defined chains, generic support for iptables targets and matches
and 64 bit atomic counters.

For all of you who don't know nf-hipac yet, here is a short overview:

nf-hipac is a drop-in replacement for the iptables packet filtering
module.
It implements a novel framework for packet classification which uses an
advanced algorithm to reduce the number of memory lookups per packet.
The module is ideal for environments where large rulesets and/or high
bandwidth networks are involved. Its userspace tool, which is also
called 'nf-hipac', is designed to be as compatible as possible to
'iptables -t filter'.

The official project web page is:
      http://www.hipac.org
The releases can be downloaded from:
      http://sourceforge.net/projects/nf-hipac

Features:
      - optimized for high performance packet classification with
        moderate memory usage
      - completely dynamic: data structure isn't rebuild from scratch
        when inserting or deleting rules, so fast updates are possible
      - very short locking times during rule updates: packet matching is
        not blocked
      - support for 64 bit architectures
      - optimized kernel-user protocol (netlink): improved rule listing
        speed
      - libnfhipac: netlink library for kernel-user communication
      - native match support for:
          + source/destination ip
          + in/out interface
          + protocol (udp, tcp, icmp)
          + fragments
          + source/destination ports (udp, tcp)
          + tcp flags
          + icmp type
          + connection state
          + ttl
      - match negation (!)
      - iptables compatibility: syntax and semantics of the userspace
        tool are very similar to iptables
      - coexistence of nf-hipac and iptables: both facilities can be used
        at the same time
      - generic support for iptables targets and matches (binary
        compatibility)
      - integration into the netfilter connection tracking facility
      - user-defined chains support
      - 64 bit atomic counters
      - kernel module autoloading
      - /proc/net/nf-hipac/info:
            + dynamically limit the maximum memory usage
            + change invokation order of nf-hipac and iptables
      - extended statistics via /proc/net/nf-hipac/statistics/*


We are currently working on extending the hipac algorithm to do
classification with several stages. The hipac algorithm will then be
capable of combining several classification problems in one data
structure, e.g. it will be possible to solve routing and firewalling
with one hipac lookup. The idea is to shorten the packet forwarding path
by combining fib_lookup and iptables filter lookup into one hipac query.
To further improve the performance in this scenario the upcoming flow
cache could be used to cache recent hipac results.


Enjoy,

The LessTif Core Team is pleased to announce
      Release 0.93.44
of the LessTif library!

This is an intermediate release:
- work is started to extend LessTif to work with the Xft library
  (see http://fontconfig.org) so we can work with anti-aliased fonts.
- Fix for a memory leak in TextF.c
- Quick fix to try to implement overstrike behaviour in XmText.
- Fix for bug #736415 (XmText widget still buggy) - the code that determined
  a string length claimed to take tabs into account but didn't correctly do so.
- Fix for bug #721016 : in an OptionMenu, while holding down the mouse left
  button, dragging it onto the label gadget (label of the OptionMenu) and
  then releasing it causes the X Server to hang.
- Fix for bug #721010 "text is displayed in the reverse order in TextWidget"
  Selecting the text by double clicking on it and then deleting it with a
  backspace in a TextWidget causes the text typed afterwards to be displayed
  in the reverse order.
- Patch provided by Herbert Xu : fixes comparison bugs on platforms with
  unsigned char as the default.

- Fix the problem reported by DIG in textf/test12 - TextField was
  not always drawing correctly.

About LessTif:
LessTif is a "free" (LGPL'd) implementation of the OSF/Motif standard
GUI toolkit for X11. LessTif aims to be source compatible with the Motif 
(a product of The OpenGroup) versions 1.2 and 2.1.

So at this point, nearly all Motif 1.2 apps compile and work out of the box
with LessTif! We still lack substantial parts of the new 2.1 functionality,
but most 2.x applications can already be built, and used (many don't use
the 2.x novelties).

Some run-time problems however may still exist. The LessTif Core team is 
interested in hearing about Motif applications which don't work with LessTif.
Bug reports are welcome - patches are even more welcome!

More information, source code, and binaries for several platforms
are available at:

Hi there,

I've just ported my nfs-swap patches to linux-2.4.21.

The patches are available from Sourceforge.net:

http://sourceforge.net/projects/nfs-swap/

A little bit of documentation about the stuff can be found at the following
location, which is also registered as project home-page at SF and contains links
back to the download-locations at SF:

Have fun.
