Compiling inavd server on FreeBSD

Just a short post, working through some of the modules I received, I ran into the inav module. Turns out that inavd doesn’t compile very nicely on FreeBSD, so I patched it. Previously when trying to compile you get:

c++ -ggdb -g3 -D INAV_VERSION= -c sniffer.cpp
In file included from sniffer.cpp:34:
/usr/include/netinet/ip.h:162: error: 'n_long' does not name a type
/usr/include/netinet/ip.h:165: error: 'n_long' does not name a type
*** Error code 1

So, download the inav-server-0.3.6-freebsd.patch into the directory where you untarred the server and issue the following commands:

cd <dir where you untarred INAV tarball>
patch -p1 < inav-server-0.3.6-freebsd.patch
cd server
make

Right now, the patch is very unclean and making the unitTests doesn’t work, but it does compile inavd and allow you to run the server on FreeBSD, enjoy!

NSM-Console moved to git

If you follow the nsm-console development tree, you might be pleased to know that I’ve switched over to git instead of working from the HeX svn repository. You can now check out the files from the NSM-Console github page, as well as download a tarball of the latest source anytime. If you’d like to check out the code to take a look, you can easily clone the repo with:

git clone git://github.com/dakrone/nsm-console.git

I really like git more than subversion, and I’m glad that any nsm-console changes that I check in aren’t going to break the version of nsm-console in Hex.

HeX 2.0, codename “Bonobo”, released!

After around 8 months of development, HeX 2.0, codename “Bonobo“, is released!

HeX is a liveCD developed by the rawpacket team that is based on FreeBSD 7.0 and designed to be used for network security monitoring.

There are a lot of new features and a lot of bugfixes that went into this release, but before we get into that, you can grab the iso here:

Some of the new features include:

Check out the HeX Trac page for the full list of what’s changed in this release. You can also check out some screenshots of the new release on Geek00l’s blog post. In addition to this release, we’ve begun working on the HeX Sensor project, for a drop-in NSM sensor, hopefully we’ll have a release of that soon!

Thanks to the development team for all the work that went into this awesome release! Feel free to leave a comment about any new features you’d like to see, or join us on the mailing list or irc (#rawpacket on Freenode) to hang out and talk about ideas for the next release. Enjoy!
