Openwall Linux kernel patch

The Openwall Linux kernel patch is a collection of security "hardening" features for the Linux kernel. In addition to the new features, some versions of the patch contain various security fixes. The "hardening" features of the patch, while not a complete method of protection, provide an extra layer of security against the easier ways to exploit certain classes of vulnerabilities and/or reduce the impact of those vulnerabilities. The patch can also add a little bit more privacy to the system by restricting access to parts of /proc so that users may not see what others are doing.

Quotactl
| Pop | 20.15 |

| Vit | 52.52 |
Quotactl is a package of simple tools for controlling the Linux kernel disk quota system, the kernel facility for limiting users and groups to a certain amount of disk space. The tools are simple and independent so that you can build your own disk quota administration system out of them. The "quotactl" program is simply a command line interface to the Linux quotactl() system call. "mkquota" creates an empty quota file. "quotarept" dumps the contents of a quota file. This is not an integrated quota administration system like quota-tools.

Secure Syslog
| Pop | 45.67 |

| Vit | 1.01 |
Secure Syslog is a cryptographically secure system logging tool for UNIX systems. Designed to replace the syslog daemon, ssyslog implements a cryptographic protocol called PEO-1 that allows the remote auditing of system logs. Auditing remains possible even if an intruder gains superuser privileges in the system, the protocol guarantees that the information logged before and during the intrusion process cannot be modified without the auditor (on a remote, trusted host) noticing.

Worm Report
| Pop | 16.79 |
|---|---|
| Vit | 1.41 |
Worm Report is a very simple Perl script to filter out the known worm (Code Red, Nimda) hits from the access log, and put them into their own files named for the IP/Host that has been "wormed". A basic report containing the count, hostname, ip, and a guess at the parent domain is then printed to STDOUT to facilitate contacting these individuals. Adding a new worm requires adding a new worm hit string to the DATA section of the script, nothing so fancy (or exhaustive) as an Apache module.

crypt_blowfish
| Pop | 183.78 |
|---|---|
| Vit | 7.40 |
crypt_blowfish is an efficient implementation of a modern password hashing algorithm, based on the Blowfish block cipher, provided via the crypt(3) and a reentrant interface. It is compatible with bcrypt as used in OpenBSD. It is adaptable to future processor performance improvements, allowing you to arbitrarily increase the processing cost of checking a password while still maintaining compatibility with your older password hashes. The hashes it produces are several orders of magnitude stronger than traditional Unix DES-based or FreeBSD-style MD5-based hashes.

dirgroup
| Pop | 15.17 |
|---|---|
| Vit | 1.00 |
dirgroup is a Perl script for merging the contents of a directory, /etc/group.d, into the file /etc/group. Storing group information in a directory allows users other than root to own and manage Unix groups. This minor change to Unix permission semantics provides many of the advantages of much more complex ACL systems.
