Welcome to LinuxSecure
I found some scripts on my workstation that have not been
published and may be interesting for some people. Actually, I will not prepare them for publishing, but you can
contact me, if you are interested in one or more of them.
- A tool for the backup of network components. The script runs as a daemon and can be configured via config files.
It reads in the config files containing the passwords of the components once, so you can store them in a crypt storage.
There exist severeal templates for ssh, scp, telnet. The intention is to make automated backups from router, switches, firewalls etc.
- Postfixanalyser was written for the trendmicro mail virusscanner. You can search for mails and you will get a
status for the found mails: when did the system receive it, when was it working with the mail the last time, whats the status of the
mail, where there any problem while delivering the mail. The second feature was a simple statistic: bytes and number of mails received and send,
mails by status (received from extern, queued, sent to trend, received from trend, queued, delivered) and mails by problem
(deferred and not sent to scanner (scanner rejected), deferred and not sent to scanner (scanner down), sent to trend, but deferred before,
dereffed and not sent to extern (mta rejected), deferred and not sent to extern (mta down), sent to extern, but deferred befor).
- A logscanner and a scanner for the checkpoint objects file.
- A tool, that parses the registry of the genugate firewall and produces a more human readable output in html.
- A ftp-script for the honeynet.
- Various backupscripts in Perl and Bash.
- Various iptables scrips.
- A script called minilinux to create a small linux out of a huge running system.
- Pigsparty was a small projetct that was never finished. The idea was to convert snort rule sets into iptables rule sets.
- A snort admin interface in php.
- A perlmodule and some programs (e.g. mfl) for the preparation and analysis of longitudinal data with a focus of same domains.

| openSUSE is looking for information from its users about the distribution by way of a survey, which runs through the end of February. The survey is meant to "give feedback to the openSUSE
project about the distribution, the openSUSE tools environment and the project
in general. Let us know where things are in good shape and areas where
improvement is needed."Click below for the full announcement.

| There are concerns in the GNOME accessibility development community about what the Oracle takeover of Sun means for the efforts led by Sun's Accessibility Project Office (APO). Orca project lead Willie Walker has been laid off and is looking for work, possibly in areas that will not allow him to continue contributing to Orca. In addition, assistive technology specialist Joanmarie Diggs has publishedan open letter to Oracle concerning the future of the APO and its work. "Last week, Oracle laid off two more members of Sun's already-decimated APO. One of those let go happened to be both the Orca project lead and the GNOME Accessibility project lead, Willie Walker. I truly hope this was an oversight on Oracle's part, and one that will be rectified very soon. Because if it is not, and if no other company steps forward to continue this work, the accessibility of the GNOME desktop will become the open source equivalent of an unfunded mandate, doomed ultimately to fail." |

| ComputerWorld reportson the outcome of the charity auction at linux.conf.au. "A $12,750 donation from Linux Australia on the night brought the total funds raised for the air rescue service to more than $33,000. [...] 'Free open source software is founded on generosity and these supporters have certainly taken that value to heart,' Life Flight Trust CEO David Irving said in a statement. 'The funds raised will enable 13 people to receive emergency flights, which is a great outcome for the community.'" |

| Linus has taken some time off from playing
with his new phoneto release the 2.6.33-rc7prepatch. "I have to admit
that I wish we had way fewer regressions listed by this time... But we've
certainly fixed a few things, and it's been a week, so here's -rc7. I wish
I could say that it's the last -rc, but I strongly doubt that, and we'll
almost certainly have at least one more."See the

| Occasionally, your editor will be struck by a series of topics all
associated with a common theme. The recent fuss about Android's presence
(or the lack thereof) in the mainline kernel ties in well with a couple of
other items of notice: the Nexus One phone and the role of free software on
the Android platform in general.

| The Linux Foundation has announcedthe 2010 edition of the "We're Linux"video contest. "The contest is calling all community members and amateur filmmakers to share with the public what a 30-60 second Linux-focused spot for the Super Bowl might look like. This theme is not a requirement for entry; however, videos that can demonstrate the benefits of Linux to the general public are likely to receive more community votes. The submissions should aim to inspire people to use Linux, create conversations among the public, and convey the power and ideals of Linux." |

a lookGIMP 2.8. "The venerable GNU Image Manipulation Program (GIMP) is undergoing a significant transformation. The next major release, version 2.8, will introduce an improved user interface with an optional single-window mode. Although this update is still under heavy development, users can get an early look by compiling the latest source code of the development version from the GIMP's version control repository." |

reportson changes to the UK government's open source policy.
"The UK government has rejigged its open source and open standards software procurement policy, following pressure from OSS vendors last autumn.
Early last year the Cabinet Office revised its rules on public sector open source software purchases, but many OSS players complained that the policy amendments didn’t go far enough.
Others grumbled that the government was failing to police its own rules."(Thanks to Paul Sladen).

reviewsLinux Mint 8.
"When last we looked at Linux Mint we gave it high marks on the user-friendly scale for administration and productivity applications. The latest release takes the distro to new heights of the same with a few new added touches to boot. Linux Mint 8 (Helena) is based on Ubuntu 9.10 and delivers all the basic capabilities you would expect in an Ubuntu distribution." |
