Subject: Advanced Bash Scripting Guide: version 3.3 update
Date: Mon, 21 Mar 2005 10:47:22 CST
Reply-To: thegrendel@theriver.com
Announcing the version 3.3 release of the "Advanced Bash Scripting Guide."
This e-book tutorial and reference is the equivalent of a 646-page
print book. With 308 illustrative examples (including such goodies as an
anti-spammer script), the book covers virtually every aspect of scripting.
This e-book contains printable reference cards, just like commercially
available computer tutorials.
The author invites comparisons with *any* commercially printed book on
shell scripting. His aim was to write "best of category" documentation.
"This tutorial assumes no previous knowledge of
scripting or programming, but progresses rapidly toward an
intermediate/advanced level of instruction . . . all the while
sneaking in little snippets of UNIX wisdom and lore. It serves
as a textbook, a manual for self-study, and a reference
and source of knowledge on shell scripting techniques. The
exercises and heavily-commented examples invite active reader
participation, under the premise that the only way to really
learn scripting is to write scripts."

This means the book is *free* and freely distributable.

Subject: IpTables ROPE 20050321 - packet match rule scripting language
Date: Mon, 21 Mar 2005 18:11:51 CST
A new version of "Rope" has been released. Changes since the last
announcement include...
. Addition of logic for passing arguments to rope scripts by
pre-pushing values onto the stack.
ROPE is a scritable packet match module for Linux iptables / Netfilter. It
allows packet matching criteria to be written using a simple scripting
language which is executed in and by the Linux kernel.
It is available under the GPL from http://www.lowth.com/rope.
A simple example :- a rule that limits the size of pages downloaded over
HTTP based on the Content-Length header could prevent long downloads
before they even start. Here's a trivial ROPE script to provide this
logic...
$tcp_source 80 eq assert # check that it's HTTP
expecti_to( "Content-Length: " ) # find the header
expect_while({isdigit}) put($n) # lift the length value
if( atoi($n) 1000000 gt { yes } ) # match: if too long
no # dont match: if not
If this script is stored as "contlen.rope" and compiled as "contlen.rp",
then it can be installed into an Iptables chain using a command like.
iptables -A FORWARD -m rope --script contlen -j DROP
For more information (including a more thorough version of the example
script), please refer to:
http://www.lowth.com/rope
