LiFTeR: Changes for May 22, 2014
- nDPI{,-devel}-1.4.0.1-1.{fc17,fc18,fc19,fc20,el5,el6}.{i686,x86_64}.rpm - nDPI nDPI is a ntop-maintained superset of
the popular OpenDPI library. 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.
- xplico-1.1.0-1.{fc18,fc19,fc20,el6}.{i686,x86_64}.rpm - xplico is an Internet traffic decoder.
See here for the changes in this release.
Note that RHEL/CentOS 5 is not supported due to a lack of Python Version 3 support.
Note that Fedora 17 is not supported yet but support is expected soon.
- libewf{,-devel,-tools}-20140427-1.{fc17,fc18,el5,el6}.{i686,x86_64}.rpm, libewf-{devel,tools}-20140427-1.{fc19,fc20}.{i686,x86_64}.rpm, and ewftools-20140427-1.{fc19,fc20}.{i686,x86_64}.rpm -
Libewf supports Expert Witness Compression Format (EWF) formatted files.
It supports both the SMART (EWF-S01) and EnCase (EWF-E01) format.
Note that beginning with Fedora 19, the tools package is named ewftools to reflect the package name found in those releases of Fedora.
Libewf allows you to read and write EWF files. Recent versions also support the LEV (EWF-L01) format. Here are the changes from the previous version (20140216):
- fixes to build static library with mingw and cygwin
- bug fixes in m4 files
- removed #error restriction in dependency include header files
- make pyewf_handle_open more strict to catch non-string objects without the check the code will segfault on non-string objects
- bug fixes in empty block compression
- bug fix in libewf_read_io_handle_read_chunk_data error tolerance code path

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 dumpfiles as generated by tcpdump, from live capture from an interface using pcap, 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. See here for a list of changes in this version.

The SiLK IPset distribution contains a library and a set of command line tools to build and manipulate IPset files, which are binary files containing a set of IP addresses. SiLK IPset can be used by those wishing to use IPsets but who do not need the entire SiLK tool suite. Since the SiLK IPset distribution contains a small subset of the tools in the SiLK distribution, there is no need to install SiLK IPset when SiLK is already installed. See here for the list of changes in this release.
