GNU/Linux Distribution Timeline. After a short essay on methodology we’re curious to find out whether there are any master-snoops among our audience. We present exhibit M, a rare specimen we know nothing about but for the fact that it was compiled from bits of Gentoo. Hence we call publicly for any hints or leads regarding this elusive distribution! Meanwhile, a gentle reader has drawn to our attention the fact that Damn Vulnerable Linux is currently listed as a Slax derivate by the major pundit places, while it certainly boasted a Damn Small Linux pedigree in it’s very beginnings. The switch has happened, but everyone claims not to have seen when it did! Have you? And just in case anyone needs more material, here’s our current ToDo buffer.

While checking out the page DW links to Greenie, Newtoos catches the eye. If only project sites had a nicely visible change log / history section… Two distributions for the GLDT 11.7 are done, eight still to go! La fondation OpenStack est officiellement créée. Cliquer sur l'image pour l'agrandir (crédit : OpenStack) L'OpenStack Foundation vient de se formaliser. Ses responsables promettent un processus de développement transparent pour la pile logicielle cloud Open Source.

Après presque un an de préparation, la Fondation OpenStack existe officiellement en tant qu'organisme autonome sans but lucratif, et libère de la tutelle du fournisseur Rackspace la pile logicielle Open Source pour l'hébergement cloud. Pendant les deux premières années du projet, Rackspace avait mollement supervisé le développement de la communauté, si bien que, l'année dernière, les responsables du projet ont estimé que le logiciel Open Source serait mieux géré par un fournisseur neutre, un peu comme la Linux Foundation supervise le développement du noyau Linux.

Mercredi, l'organisation nouvellement formée a annoncé que Rackspace lui avait transféré à la fois la marque déposée OpenStack et les activités de gestion de la communauté. Top 100 of the Best (Useful) OpenSource Applications | Ubuntu Linux Help. The following is a list of about 100 of the best OpenSource Applications, that actually help make Linux more usable for people.

It is my hope that this list shows potential Linux users that there really is a large, effective, productive and usable range of free, OpenSource applications. For existing Linux users (like myself), I think this will provide a great resource in finding applications that may better suit your needs, or just for fun! Needless to say, this is just some of the thousands of applications available! I develop web sites, so this list tends to focus on applications which support that type of work. The majority of these applications can be installed by either apt-get or synaptic, however I’ve included the web site addresses of these applications so that you can obtain more information.

I’ve tried many of these applications myself – and they are pretty good! Enjoy! Ardour: ( Ardour is a digital audio workstation. Record live audio. Grip: Midi sequencing.

Contents : Introduction How to send packets using raw socketsHow to receive packets using raw sockets Introduction Hi this post is for those who are already familiar with basics of sockets, The raw sockets are use to access the raw data at application layer, normally tcp-ip stack in linux removes all the header and only the data is available at the application layer, but some times it is more convenient and easy to implement the new protocol or processing of some protocol at the application layer, instead of putting code in the kernel, Lets get into the practical examples.

How to send packets using raw sockets 1) create the raw socket using socket call, protocol is one of the constants defined in int fd = socket(AF_INET,SOCK_RAW,protocol) 2) setting IP_HDRINCL socket option to construct the ip layer packet, When this option is set the ip header is also constructed by the application, kernel only adds the link layer header. setsockopt(fd,IPPROTO_IP,IP_HDRINCL,&var,sizeof(var) msg.msg_iov = &iov; Tools for creating TCP/IP packets | Linux Poison. Hping ( hping is a command-line oriented TCP/IP packet assembler/analyzer. The interface is inspired to the ping(8) unix command, but hping isn't only able to send ICMP echo requests. It supports TCP, UDP, ICMP and RAW-IP protocols, has a traceroute mode, the ability to send files between a covered channel, and many other features Features include: * Firewall testing * Advanced port scanning * Network testing, using different protocols, TOS, fragmentation * Manual path MTU discovery * Advanced traceroute, under all the supported protocols * Remote OS fingerprinting * Remote uptime guessing * TCP/IP stacks auditing * hping can also be useful to students that are learning TCP/IP Hping works on the following unix-like systems: Linux, FreeBSD, NetBSD, OpenBSD, Solaris, MacOs X, Windows.
