Date: 8 Apr 2004 10:55:09 GMT
Announcement: www.sectools.com
Basset Advanced System Security Evaluation Tool
(it's recursive)
(it's also small, fast, and thorough)
Basset provides standard security and consistency checks on UNIX and
Linux based systems. On a typical system, millions of individual
checks are made which can alert you to security and consistency
issues. Basset has been tested on, and delivers outstanding results
for, the following Linux operating systems on x86 or compatible
architectures:
Fedora Core 1
Red Hat Linux Advanced Server 3.0
Red Hat Linux Advanced Server 2.1
Red Hat Linux 9.0
Red Hat Linux 8.0
Red Hat Linux 7.3
SuSE Linux 9.0
SuSE Enterprise Linux 8.0
Mandrake Linux 9.2
Mandrake Linux 7.0
Debian Linux 3.0r1
Slackware Linux 9.1
TurboLinux 7.0 Workstation
TurboLinux 6.5 Server
NOTE: Basset was designed to be as portable as possible. It is
likely to run well on ANY modern day Linux operating system
(x86 or compatible architectures only at this time).
The current version of Basset for Linux is V1.2 and can be
downloaded directly via HTTP from www.sectools.com.
The Solaris port is well underway and will be available in the very
near future (3rd quarter 2004).
NetBSD, HP-UX, and AIX ports will follow.
Custom ports of Basset are available by commission. Contact us for
details at basset-support@carolina.rr.com.

Subject: Released Mizio 0.2
Date: 8 Apr 2004 15:50:02 GMT
Mizio 0.2 has been released, this is the changelog:
0.2 Improved the anonimity check. Now Mizio looks for your
IP in all the received HTTP headers apart for the 'Host:'
header. Accuracy is 100% now. Mizio also get the host name
by its IP now. Fixed a bug in the proxy retriever
code because Google changed the layout of the result page
causing Mizio not to retrieve the proxy IP. Mizio gets
your IP from www.myip.com instead of using RPC get_myaddress.

Subject: lftp-3.0.0 - reliable command line driven file transfer program
Date: 8 Apr 2004 15:50:05 GMT
This is announcement of a new major version of LFTP.
NEWS:
* sftp protocol support (use `sftp://user@host' URLs). sftp is a protocol
implemented as ssh2 subsystem, it is binary and works over a secure channel.
* faster directory caching, no re-parsing each time.
* ftp now follows RFC2640; FEAT, LANG, UTF8 support; new settings ftp:use-feat
and ftp:lang.
* ftp can set modification time on remote files using either SITE UTIME or two
argument MDTM command (off by default); new settings ftp:use-site-utime and
ftp:use-mdtm-overloaded.
* ftp can now use MLSD to get machine parseable file listing (ftp:use-mlsd).
* charset translation in ftp protocol, new setting ftp:charset.
* new mirror option --delete-first to remove old files before transferring new
files. By default mirror removes old files after the transfers.
* now mirror can replace directories with plain files or symbolic links if
--delete (-e) option is specified.
* ftp can now use CONNECT method of http proxies (when ftp:use-hftp is false).
* mirror open --newer-than can now take time specification like that of at(1)
command, like `week ago', `now-7days' or `2004-01-01'.
* new mirror options --ignore-size and --only-missing.
* new mirror option --use-pget[-n=N] to make mirror use pget to transfer files.
* debug output can now include date and time on each line (debug -t). When lftp
goes to background, this is turned on by default, along with pid (-p) and
context (-c). Try `debug -tcp' and see.
* get1 command has now --source-region and --target-position options to get
a part of a file.
* better handling of ~/.netrc - multiple logins for the same machine are
allowed, proper password is taken automatically from netrc if a login matches.
* pget has now a progress bar which shows file download state.
* new source option -e to execute output of an external program.
* chmod -R fixed.
* fixed cache invalidation when file name being invalidated ends with a slash.
