1 David Jacobs
2     - Suggested IP/network lists in SOURCE definitions
3     - Wording fixes in fwknop(8) manpage.
4
5 Brian Snipes
6     - Wrote a graphical front-end for fwknop called "fwknopFE":
7         http://www.snipes.org/index.php?page=fwknopFE
8     - Found bug with legacy fingerprinting file "posf".
9
10 Joel Loudermilk
11     - Submitted patch to optionally disable email alerting.  The end result
12       was the addition of the REPORT_METHOD keyword in fwknop.conf.
13
14 Blair Zajac
15     - Submitted patch to not install perl modules in /usr/lib/fwknop/ that
16       are already installed in the system perl lib tree.
17     - Submitted patch to use getpwuid() instead of just getlogin().
18     - Submitted patch to fix bug in install.pl and how the ~/lib directory
19       is created in client install mode.
20     - Found bug with perl module file paths and naming convention (this bug
21       resulted in some modules being needlessly installed).
22     - Suggested that fwknop handle rotated log files (even pcap logs get
23       rotated on some systems).
24     - Suggested that modules only required in server mode are not use at
25       runtime when running fwknop in client mode.
26     - Suggested -O optimization in Makefile.
27     - Found bug where log rotation detection would break under the size
28       change detection method.  The result was the inode check in 0.9.6.
29     - Found bug where some Linux distributions have /var/run as type tmpfs,
30       and this caused fwknopd to die because it couldn't write to its PID
31       file.
32     - Suggested command path update code in install.pl so that the user does
33       not always have to edit the fwknop.conf and knopwatchd.conf files if
34       the system does not have commands in the default locations.
35
36 Will McCracken
37     - Reported bug on OS X where getlogin() does not return the correct
38       data.  This permitted fwknop to be updated to fall back to ENV{'USER'}
39       var.
40
41 Omar A. Herrera
42     - Submitted a patch to fix a timeout bug in knoptm that caused newly
43       created rules to be deleted too quickly.
44
45 Werner Wiethege
46     - Submitted a patch to fix a bug in knoptm where inappropriate hash
47       keys were being deleted and so previous timeouts would apply to the
48       current interval.
49
50 Ronald Bister
51     - Submitted a fix for not being able to parse ifconfig output correctly
52       when languages besides English are used.
53
54 Hank Leininger
55     - Suggested privilege separation to minimize code that executes as root.
56     - Suggested NULL password GPG keys.
57     - Suggested integration with ssh-agent and gpg-agent.
58
59 Dwayne Rightler
60     - Submitted patch to fix bug where whatismyip.com altered their return
61       data format and this broke the -w command line switch.
62
63 Sebastien Jeanquier
64     - Contributed more rigorous regular expression for matching an IP address.
65     - Suggested allowing symmetric keys to exceed 256 bits.
66     - Suggested using Crypt::Random for random number generation.
67     - Suggested the integration of time synchronization as an additional
68       measure for the fwknopd daemon to validate incoming SPA packets (this
69       will probably be enabled by default).
70     - Suggested a new method of interacting with iptables to redirect
71       connections to one port to another port on the same system.
72     - Suggested making the --Spoof-user argument useable by non-root users.
73     - Suggested the ability to randomize a spoofed IP address.
74     - Suggested building in compatibility with external IP resolution sites
75       such as http://www.whatismyip.com/
76     - Provided a Mac OS X system to develop fwknop support for OS X.  Many
77       thanks!
78     - Helped with the testing process for fwknop-1.8.2 and OS X support.
79
80 Mate Wierdl
81     - Contributed patch (originally for the psad project) for building the
82       RPM on x86_64 platforms.
83
84 Raul Siles
85     - Bug report to allow OPEN_PORTS to be omitted in access.conf in favor of
86       having only PERMIT_CLIENT_PORTS enabled.
87
88 Leland Weathers
89     - Submitted patch to allow the GPG_REMOTE_ID variable to have the value
90       "ANY" to allow arbitrary gpg signing keys to match the SOURCE block.
91
92 Juuso Alasuutar
93     - Suggested that the install.pl script offer a mode where the user is not
94       prompted at all in order to make it easier to integrate fwknop with
95       the Source Mage Linux distribution. The result is the --Defaults option
96       to the install.pl script.
97     - Suggested the ability to use gpg keys without passwords.
98
99 Neal Baer
100     - Tested the fwknop-1.8 release for Windows systems (running Cygwin).
101     - Tested the cd_rpmbuilder script on SuSE systems.
102
103 Graham Clark
104     - Suggested man page documentation bug fixes.
105
106 Roy Segovia
107     - Submitted patch to fix print statement bug in command mode where the
108       command was inappropriately prepended with the source IP address.
109     - Reported bug with running fwknop under Cygwin on Windows 2003 Server,
110       which reports 'Gygwin' under the 'uname -o' output.
111
112 Mark Van De Vyver
113     - Reported a bug where the iptables command path was not being properly
114       discovered if it did not reside at the default location specified in the
115       fwknop.conf file.
116     - Submitted various documentation issues with the fwknop man pages. The -D
117       option in fwknop-1.8.2 resulted from this feedback.
118     - Reported a bug where the .xsession.errors file would fill with output
119       logged by fwknop when null passwords were read from stdin.
120
121 Flavio Machado
122     - Reported command mode bug where the source IP address is not properly
123       communicated to the SPA server.
124
125 Eggert Ehmke
126     - Reported resolution bug with http://www.whatismyip.com/.  The result was
127       the interpretation of the link designed for automated scripts:
128       http://www.whatismyip.com/automation/n09230945.asp
129
130 Luis Martin Garcia
131     - Suggested using http://www.whatismyip.org/ instead of
132       http://www.whatismyip.com/
133
134 Gerry Reno
135     - Reported legacy knopwatchd.conf file in RPM package in fwknop-1.8.2.
136
137 Sean Greven
138     - Submitted patch for enhanced 'fwknopd --debug' output to include raw hex
139       dumps of SPA packet data before and after attempted decryption
140       operation. This allows the integration of cipher implementations other
141       than Crypt::Rijndael or GnuPG ciphers to be validated.
142     - Contributed a UI written in Delphi that runs on Windows platforms and
143       builds its own SPA packets without using the fwknop client.  This is an
144       important development, since it proves that third-party UI integration
145       is possible.
146
147 Franck Joncourt
148     - Performed analysis of locale settings and suggested using the LC_ALL
149       environmental variable instead of the LANG variable (which is superseded
150       by LC_* vars).
151
152 Jose Luis Bellido
153     - Provided testing support for fwknop running on systems with Spanish
154       locale settings, and validated fwknop GnuPG communications.
155
156 Marius Rugan
157     - Suggested the ability to add firewall accept rules to the iptables
158       OUTPUT chain.
