Knock Safely With portknocking_v1.0

Posted by timothy on from the who-is-it-this-time dept.

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."

    Admonishing us for not using the preview button or a spell checker?! :D

    "Well. I guess I'll have to see your 'dupe on the same day' and I raise you... a glaring spelling mistake in a title."

    At least the editors can edit their entries. :P

    If *BSD is dying, why do you feel the need to post this in *every* BSD story? Shouldn't you just ignore it and let it go away?
