Download NuFW 1.1.0

The NuFW program is an extensive firewall that can filter every connection on the user’s rights and operating system. It uses an ldap server to check the permissions and Netfilter to apply the filtering technique. For more information about NuFW, we refer you to this page. Version 1.1.0 is now available with the following announcement:

This is the first public release of 1.1.x. A silent but important work has been done and differences with 1.0.x are huge. The main functional differences are:

• nutrackd : a brand new daemon which is used to maintain SQL authenticated connection tracking. It needs 2.6.14 and the new libconntrack library.
• Multi modules support for nuauth : you can chain authentication or logging modules
• UDP support for libnuclient
• nufw : support for the new libnetfilter_queue library on 2.6.14 and over

Here’s the “full” changelog:

• full “a posteriori” IP authentication for mono user system via hello message system
• nufw : port to libnetfilter_queue
• NuFW : many small fixes in the debian/ subdir : start in correct runlevels, have smoother init scripts.
• nutcpc : add -l option to disable use of lock
• NuFW : all exchanges between clients and nuauth are now done in UTF-8 by default. Use —with-utf8 at configure time to select this behavior on client side.
• plaintext module : cleaning and icmp support
• increase internal message usage instead of sending directly structure to queue.
• nufw : get rid fo old UDP protocol
• nuauth : fix double free problem linked with string_escape function
• libnuclient : new algo in push mode
• libnuclient : UDP support, need recent kernel
• nuauth : multi-module support
• nutrackd : brand new connection tracking system based on libconntrack
