More plugin work & bugfixes
I’ve checked in some more complete sussen-plugins about 15 of them. Made some minor changes in sussen/sussen-sensor for handling the bye command. The plugin editor in sussen now shows CVE & Bugtraq IDs (if available). The display could be better as the GtkTreeViewColumn auto-resize makes for some large columns. I’ve also closed the comments on [...]
sussen-plugins: 15% done
I re-wrote the XML for another 120 sussen-plugins. The Python code still has to be written for the tests but that will happen on the next pass through the plugins. There are comments explaining what needs to be done for each plugin. The code has been checked into CVS.
sussen Auth Work
I’ve written the code to allow sussen/sussen-cmd to work with the new sussen-sensor authentication scheme. Code has been checked into CVS. The next release of Sussen (0.10) should be coming soon. The focus of the release is on the sussen-plugins. We are aiming to have 500 plugins done for v0.10. For sussen/sussen-sensor it’s mostly been [...]
sensor authentication update
I’ve checked in the new sensor authentication code to CVS. It should show up on the SF.net servers shortly. Also forgot to mention, the new code uses libcypto from OpenSSL. That is a new dependency for sussen-sensor. You don’t have to specify any additional parameters to configure.
More sensor authentication
I wrote the initial code for the new authentication handling in sussen-sensor. I still have to do some cleanup but I expect I’ll have it checked into CVS tonight. The code works as I described yesterday. In terms of the unique session ID, that is computed in the following manner: Get the current process ID [...]
sensor-sensor Authentication
Currently the authentication in sussen-sensor is pretty weak. When a client logs in the sensor checks the credentials via PAM. It then keeps track of the host. For any commands the sensor gets it verifies that host has been validated. This could be easily defeated. It doesn’t get much more Mickey Mouse than that. So [...]
subversion
I noticed that Subversion 1.0 was released yesterday and I spent some time playing with it last night. I imported the sussen CVS repository into it and it works pretty nicely. Yeah I should have been writing more sussen-plugins. I’ll see what I can get done today.
