  Sat, Dec 22nd 2007 16:41

Games/Entertainment :: Arcade

About: BurgerSpace is a game in which you are a chef, and must walk over
hamburger ingredients (buns, meat, and lettuce) to make them fall from
floor to floor, until they end up on the plates at the bottom of the
screen. It requires the SDL multimedia library. It is a clone of the 1982
BurgerTime video game by Bally Midway. 

Changes: Games can now be saved and loaded. (This code is experimental.)
Also, it should now be slightly easier to turn corners (compared with an
unpatched 1.8.1 version).

[006] - Burp proxy 1.4 
  by PortSwigger (http://freshmeat.net/users/PortSwigger/)
  Sat, Dec 22nd 2007 00:11

Internet :: Proxy Servers
Security
Software Development :: Testing

About: Burp proxy is an interactive HTTP/S proxy server for attacking
Web-enabled applications. It operates as a man-in-the-middle between the
end browser and the target Web server, and allows the attacker to
intercept, inspect, and modify the raw traffic passing in both directions.
Text and hex editing may be performed on intercepted traffic. Downstream
proxies are supported. Authentication may be done to downstream proxy and
Web servers, using basic, NTLM, or digest authentication types. 

Changes: This release is geared towards usability enhancements and new
features: better analysis and rendering of HTTP requests and responses,
support for custom client and server SSL certificates, new interception
and match/replace rules, and more. It is fully integrated with the other
new Burp Suite tools.

platforms. It supports the minimum requirements of the HTTP/1.1 protocol
and virtual hosts, basic authentication (which can be used to protect
either files or directories), directory listing, byte ranges, and reverse
proxy. It is an event-driven server that runs as a single process with a
single thread using non-blocking I/O. It uses epoll as the event
notification mechanism to multiplex control between active connections. 

Changes: This release allows you to specify the configuration and the MIME
filenames.

Internet :: WWW/HTTP
Multimedia :: Graphics
Software Development :: Libraries

About: Flickcurl is a C library for calling the Flickr Web service API. It
handles the API signing, token management, and parameter encoding and
decoding, resulting in C functions for the Web services APIs. It uses
libcurl to call the REST Web service, and libxml2 to manipulate the XML
responses. The library supports reading photo, tag, and comments
information, the photo upload and searching APIs, and writing tags and
comments. It provides utilities such as "flickcurl" to exercise the API
and "flickrdf" to get RDF metadata descriptions out of photos, tags, and
machine tags.

Changes: Calls and data structures were added for supporting asynchronous
upload tickets, categories of groups, interestingness, rotating photos,
and photosets, taking the API coverage to over 90%.

[013] - genders 1.8-1 
  by Albert Chu (http://freshmeat.net/users/chu11/)
  Sat, Dec 22nd 2007 16:00

System :: Clustering/Distributed Networks
System :: Systems Administration

About: Genders is a static cluster configuration database used for cluster
configuration management. It is used by a variety of tools and scripts for
management of large clusters. The genders database is accessed by every
node in a cluster, either through a networked file system or by
replicating the database on every node of the cluster. The database
describes the layout and configuration of the cluster so that tools and
scripts can sense the variations of cluster nodes. By abstracting this
information into a plain text file, it becomes possible to change the
configuration of a cluster by modifying only one file.

Changes: An empty genders file is supported as a degenerate case.

About: Libev is a high-performance event loop for C (with optional and
separate interfaces for C++ and Perl), featuring support for I/O, timers
(relative and absolute, cron-like ones), signals, process status changes,
and other types of events. It has both a fast native API and libevent
emulation to support programs written using the libevent API. The libev
distribution consists of libevent with the core event handling parts
replaced by the libev embedded event loop. Differences to libevent include
higher speed, simpler design, more features, less memory usage,
embedability, and no arbitrary limits. libev supports epoll, kqueue,
Solaris event ports, poll, and select. 

Changes: Embed watchers are now functional as documented. A memleak in
ev_loop_destroy has been fixed. Epoll has been removed from the embeddable
backends set. Export symbol lists that might help embedders have been
added. The documentation has been improved greatly to include more
portability hints and background information. Functions for finer control
over the event loop block and waiting time have been added. A great number
of minor portability and compile issues have been fixed.

[026] - nmbscan 1.2.5 
  by Gregoire Barbier (http://freshmeat.net/users/gbarbier/)
  Sat, Dec 22nd 2007 13:23

Security
System :: Networking
System :: Systems Administration

About: NMB Scanner scans the shares of a NetBIOS/SMB network, using the
NMB/SMB/NetBIOS protocols. It is useful for acquiring information on a
local area network for such purposes as security auditing. It can obtain
such information as NMB/SMB/NetBIOS/Windows hostname, IP address, IP
hostname, ethernet MAC address, Windows username, NMB/SMB/NetBIOS/Windows
domain name, and master browser. It can discover all the
NMB/SMB/NetBIOS/Windows hosts on a local area network by using the hosts
lists maintained by master browsers. 

Changes: A minor enhancement was made such that smb.conf is now ignored to
avoid "netbios disable" or other such options. Resource usage was reduced.
Minor bugs (involving -n and -h options) were fixed. Typographical errors
were fixed. Minor code cleanup was done.
