Knock Safely With portknocking_v1.0

mrdeathgod writes "The Port Knocking project at SourceForge has just released portknocking_v1.0. Based on my undergrad thesis, this client/server package does not use pre-defined knock sequences, but rather utilizes Blowfish in order to encrypt the client data into a sequence of port numbers. This enables a client with the proper password to remotely manipulate firewall rules without fear of replay attacks. While currently designed for FreeBSD+ipfilter, expanded portability is in the works."

    That explains why it's so hard to get your stories posted. (wink, wink, nudge, nudge)

    Anyway, dear /. editors, it's a great way to ruin a story. 90% of posts in this discussion are offtopic, just because you did a typo (for those who plan to mod me down - I did posted a serious comment already, have mercy!).
