XlsxWriter is a Python module for writing files in the Excel 2007+ XLSX file format.
XlsxWriter can be used to write text, numbers, formulas and hyperlinks to multiple worksheets and it supports features such as formatting and many more.
- CERT-Forensics-Tools-1.0-86.{fc25,fc26,fc27,fc28,fc29,fc30,el6}.{i686,x86_64}.rpm and CERT-Forensics-Tools-1.0-86.el7.x86_64.rpm -
Removed the dependency of the kernel-PAE-modules-extra package for Fedora 28 and beyond.
- libewf{,-devel,-tools,-python2,-python3,-tools}-20160718-20140806.4.{fc25,fc26,fc27,fc28,fc29,fc30}.{i686,x86_64}.rpm, libewf{,-devel,-tools,-python2,-tools}-20160718-20140806.4.el6.{i686,x86_64}.rpm, and
libewf{,-devel,-tools,-python2,-python36,-tools}-20160718-20140806.4.el7.x86_64.rpm -
Libewf supports Expert Witness Compression Format (EWF) formatted files.
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.
This package is built from the libewf source code dated 20140806 but to make it the latest version, the version number was changed to the build date (20160718) and the release number changed to include the source code release date (20140806). This release obsoletes (which causes the removal of) the ewftools package which is provided by Fedora.

- silk-{analysis,common,devel,flowcap,rwflowappend,rwflowpack,rwpollexec,rwreceiver,rwsender}-3.18.3-2.{fc25,fc26,fc27,fc28,fc29,fc30,fc30}.{i686,x86_64}.rpm and silk-{analysis,common,devel,flowcap,rwflowappend,rwflowpack,rwpollexec,rwreceiver,rwsender}-3.18.3-2.{el6,el7}.x86_64.rpm -
This release of the SiLK tools can be found in an optional repository that is now part of
cert-forensics-tools-release named forensics-sip, the definition of which can be found in /etc/yum.repos.d/cert-forensics-tools.repo.
This repository is diabled by default and can be enabled by running the script named /usr/bin/EnableSilkWithIPA as root.
See here for a list of changes in this version.
- libschemaTools{,-devel}-1.3-6.{fc25,fc26,fc27,fc28,fc29,fc30,el6}.{i686,x86_64}.rpm and libschemaTools{,-devel}-1.3-6.el7.x86_64.rpm -
libschemaTools is a library that provides a standard representation of data records.
It is built on fixbuf, using IPFIX information elements.
It describes data using schemas. Schemas are wrapped in "dataInfo" structures that provide ways to get the next record from the data source.
SchemaTools removes the need for the processing application to know the details of how to retrive data, and to know the structure of the records.
This package was rebuilt to use libfixbuf 2.4.0.
- python{2,3}-pyfixbuf-0.8.0-1.{fc25,fc26,fc27,fc28,fc29,fc30,el6}.{i686,x86_64}.rpm, python2-pyfixbuf-0.8.0-1.el6.{i686,x86_64}.rpm, and python{2,36}-pyfixbuf-0.8.0-1.el7.x86_64.rpm -
Pyfixbuf is a Python API for libfixbuf,
an implementation of the IPFIX protocol used for building, collecting, and exporting processes.
Pyfixbuf can be used to write applications, often called mediators, that collect and export IPFIX.
Mediators are useful in modifying, filtering, or adding to the contents of a message before forwarding to another
IPFIX collection point, or converting IPFIX to another format (text, database, JSON, etc.).
See this page for a list of problems fixed in this and all releases.
- analysis-pipeline-5.11.2-2.{fc25,fc26,fc27,fc28,fc29,fc30,el6}.{i686,x86_64}.rpm and analysis-pipeline-5.11.2-2.el7.x86_64.rpm -
The analysis-pipeline
processes SiLK Flow records, and its goals are to automate common tasks, to get closer to "real-time" reporting of events,
and to feed interesting data to a security information and event manager (SIEM).
This package was rebuilt to use libfixbuf 2.4.0.
- super_mediator-1.7.0-4.{fc25,fc26,fc27,fc28,fc29,fc30,el6}.{i686,x86_64}.rpm and super_mediator-1.7.0-4.el7.x86_64.rpm -
Super_mediator
is an IPFIX mediator for use with the YAF
and SiLK tools.
It collects and filters YAF output data to various IPFIX collecting processes and/or csv files.
This package was rebuilt to use libfixbuf 2.4.0.
- yaf{,-devel}-2.11.0-3.{fc25,fc26,fc27,fc28,fc29,fc30,el6}.{i686,x86_64}.rpm and yaf{,-devel}-2.11.0-3.el7.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 for CentOS 6 and 7 for the x86_64 architecture, yaf has been built to use PF_Ring.
This package was rebuilt to use libfixbuf 2.4.0.
- pfring-7.4.0-2623.{el6,el7}.x86_64.rpm - PF_Ring is a new type of network socket that dramatically improves the packet capture speed.
This package contains header files and libraries, among other files, to support the PF_Ring network socket.
Here is the announcement of PF_Ring 7.4.
- pfring-dkms-7.4.0-2623.{el6,el7}.x86_64.rpm - PF_Ring is a new type of network socket that dramatically improves the packet capture speed.
This package conains the code and supporting files needed to create the PF_Ring kernel module.
- ndpi-2.8.0-1797.{el6,el7}.x86_64.rpm - ndpi is an open source LGPLv3 library for deep-packet inspection.
Based on OpenDPI it includes ntop extensions.
