# idabench-v1.0 CHANGELOG initialized 2003-05-13 # # Changes since idabench-1.0 2003-07-09 - As requested by Anton Chuvakin (thanks!), I added multihour capability to fetchem.pl(.in).

Several other tempfile related issues cleanued up. 2003-07-15 - Added a p0f plugin. Needed to build checkbox objects in search.cgi to support it. Fixed spelling error in CHANGELOG. # Changes since shadowias-1.8-prerelease Ongoing - documentation 2003-05-13 - Fixed numerous path related isues in cgi and html pages. 2003-05-15 - install_analyzer appends id_dsa.pub to authorized_keys for simplified one-host installs. install_analyzer .ssh permissions fixed. 2003-05-16 - Legal blurbs added, old comments stripped, README added 2003-05-19 - fetchem.pl now uses fork-opens for each plugin filter. 2003-06-02 - Allowed comments & blank lines in ngrep filter files.

Provided for ngrep commandline switches in filter files & added ngrep fiter output separator line. 2003-06-06 - compose_IR.cgi.in now uses ir.conf file in etc directory for a number of configuration options. idabench.conf had to be edited to put $IDABENCH_IR_SEQNO_FILE in $IDABENCH_SCRATCH_PATH instead of $IDABENCH_CGI_PATH. 2003-06-09 - tcpdump.ph strips comments & blank lines AND allows the use of simple variables. 2003-06-10 - Included the "Step-By-Step" document by permission of Stephen Northcutt and the SANS Institute. Thanks! Gave findscan.ph and ngrep.ph the same variable capability as tcpdump. (I should allow for site-wide and global variable files via include statements). Included a search field in ngrep.se and tcpdump.se to limit the number of packets matched per hour, using the "-c" switch. 2003-06-12 - tcp_slice_dump.pl is now tolerant of broken pipes encountered when the recieving process closes prematurely, such as when using the "-c" parameter in tcpdump. Replace pcaptestfile with one that claims ethernet encapsulation. Removed nmap.cgi and its directory. Analysts shouldn't be scanning anyone from a critical security infrastructure component. Do it from your workstation, if you need to. 2003-06-13 - compose_IR.cgi, whois.cgi updated. Comic art splash page removed until permission is obtained from the copyright holders. tools.cgi and httpd.conf modified and two new files added, indexheader.cgi and indexfooter.html, to provide pleasing index availability in lieu of the comic.
