Line 
1 psad-2.0.1 (12/12/2006):
2     - Added Nachi worm reconnaisannce icmp signature
3     - Added the psad_ip_len signature keyword to allow the length field in the
4       IP header to be explicitly tested.
5     - Bugfix for inappropriately removing some directories in @INC when
6       splicing in psad perl module paths.
7     - Switched nf2csv installation path in install.pl to /usr/bin/.
8
9 psad-2.0 (12/10/2006):
10     - Completely refactored the Snort rule matching support in psad.  Added
11       many header field tests with full range matching support.  These tests
12       include the following keywords from Snort: ttl, id, seq, ack, window,
13       icmp_id, icmp_seq, itype, icode, ip_proto, ipopts, and sameip.
14     - Refactored all signatures in /etc/psad/signatures to conform to new
15       signature matching support in this release.  There are now about 190
16       signatures that psad can run directly against Netfilter logging
17       messages (i.e. without the help of fwsnort).
18     - Added the ability to download the latest signatures file from
19       http://www.cipherdyne.org/psad/signatures with the --sig-update command
20       line argument to psad.
21     - Added "MISC Windows popup spam" signature.  This allows psad to detect
22       when attempts are made to send spam via the Windows popup messenger
23       service.
24     - Completely reworked --Status and --Analyze output, signature matches
25       are included now, along with a listing of top sig matches, top scanned
26       ports, and top attackers.  Also, scan data is not written to
27       /var/log/psad/ipt_analysis/ before display analysis output in -A mode;
28       analysis results are displayed much faster this way.
29     - Added ipEye, Subversion, Kuang2, Microsoft SQL, Radmin, and Ghostsurf
30       signatures.
31     - Added 'data in TCP SYN packet' signature.
32     - Added --CSV mode so that psad can be used to generate comma-separated
33       value output suitable for the AfterGlow project (see
34       http://afterglow.sourceforge.net/index.html) for graphical
35       representations of Netfilter logs and associated scan data.  Also added
36       nf2csv so that normal users can take advantage of this feature.
37     - Added emulation of the Snort "dsize" test through the use of the IP
38       length field for TCP/ICMP signatures, and the UDP length field for UDP
39       signatures.  For SYN packets, TCP options are included so psad
40       automatically adds 44 bytes (the maximum length for TCP options) so the
41       dsize test corresponds to the estimated payload length.
42     - Added the psad_id, psad_dsize, and psad_derived_sids fields for the new
43       Snort rule support.
44     - Added the ability to decode IP options, which are included within Snort
45       rules as the "ipopts" keyword.  This functionality requires that the
46       --log-ip-options command line argument is given to iptables when
47       building a rule that uses the LOG target.
48     - Added Snort rules (sids 475, 500, 501, and 502) that detect IP options
49       usage such as source routing and the traceroute IP option with the new
50       IP options decoder.
51     - Enhanced psad email alert output to include sid values that have been
52       derived from existing Snort rules.
53     - Added the ability to expand embedded variables within the psad
54       configuration files.  For example, the path to the FW_DATA_FILE is
55       defined in psad.conf as "$PSAD_DIR/fwdata", which resolves to
56       /var/log/psad/fwdata when the PSAD_DIR variable is expanded.  This
57       feature allows a consistent set of file paths to easily be defined
58       instead of using the full path for each file path.
59     - Better validation of IPT_AUTO_CHAIN{n} variables so that the from_chain
60       cannot be identical to the to_chain.
61     - Added dump_config() to psadwatchd.c and kmsgsd.c when compiled with
62       debugging support.
63     - Added ENABLE_INTF_LOCAL_NETS to have psad automatically treat all IP
64       addresses that are part of the local system as belonging to the HOME_NET
65       for signature matching.
66     - Added ENABLE_SNORT_SIG_STRICT to have psad exit if there are any
67       problems found with Snort rules in the /etc/psad/signatures file.  If
68       this feature is disabled (this is the default), then psad generates
69       syslog warnings for improperly formatted signatures).
70     - Update to print the number of IP addresses at each danger level in -A
71       analysis mode.  This is useful to get a sense for how long the disk IO
72       might take to write out all of the /var/log/psad/ipt_analysis/<IP>
73       directories.
74     - Added code to restart kmsgsd at psad start up if a previous kmsgsd
75       process is still running and TRUNCATE_FWDATA is set to 'Y' (this is the
76       default).  This probably isn't strictly necessary because kmsgsd is
77       capable of writing to the fwdata file even if another process truncates
78       it.
79     - Added code to recreate the AUTO_IPT_SOCK (/var/run/psad/auto_ipt.sock)
80       file if some other process happens to delete it out of /var/run/psad/
81     - Bugfix to allow backwards compatibility with old NOT_USED value
82       for the HOME_NET variable.
83     - Bugfix to cleanup any lost blocking rules from the running psad
84       timeouts (a separate process might have deleted rules from the psad
85       chains).
86     - Bugfix to allow Netfilter log messages to include the PHYSDEV (i.e.
87       PHYSIN and PHYSOUT) interfaces.
88     - Updated to read architecture-dependent perl module installation
89       directory out of /usr/lib/psad (e.g. "/usr/lib/psad/x86_64-linux")
90       before importing psad perl modules such as IPTables::Parse, etc. These
91       modules are now imported via "require" after the appropriate
92       directories have been added to @INC. This allows the RPM files to be
93       built on one system that builds @INC differently than the system where
94       psad is actually installed since psad can now compensate for this.
95     - Added new code to populate the <dst>_signature file in each of the
96       /var/log/psad/<ip> directories with verbose information including the
97       signature time, sid, protocol, dst port, and packet count.
98     - Changed --interval to --Interval, and added --interface to allow
99       psad's detection to be limited to a specific IN interface for the INPUT
100       and FORWARD chains (or OUT interface for the OUTPUT chain).
101     - Replaced --status-brief with --status-summary, but changed it so that
102       only the detailed IP status information is omitted.
103     - Removed unnecessary --status-sort-dl option.
104     - Added STATUS_OUTPUT_FILE so the --Status and --Analyze output is
105       captured instead of just being lost if the output was not piped to
106       'less' or another similar program.
107     - Added --restrict-ip so that psad will restrict its attack detection
108       operations to a specific IP or network.
109     - Updated psadwatchd.c to parse EMAIL_ADDRESSES out of
110       /etc/psad/psad.conf to avoid duplication of variables.
111     - Bugfix to clear old @ipt_config array after receiving a HUP signal.
112       This bug broke the auto-blocking mode.
113     - Bugfix for syslog-ng config so that any custom source for /proc/kmsg is
114       used for the psadfifo path.
115
116 psad-1.4.8 (10/15/2006):
117     - Added the ability to get the auto-blocking status for a specific IP
118       address in --status-ip mode.
119     - Bugfix to use the IPT_OUTPUT_FILE and IPT_ERROR_FILE configuration
120       variables.
121     - Bugfix to restore "start" functionality in Gentoo init script.
122     - Added the ability to selectively disable psad auto-blocking emails.
123     - Added more rigorous IP matching regex from Sebastien J. (contributed
124       originally for fwknop).
125
126 psad-1.4.7 (09/10/2006):
127     - Completely re-worked IPTables::ChainMgr to support the return of
128       iptables error messages that are collected via stderr.  This is critical
129       to fixing a bug where psad would sometimes die on an iptables command
130       but no information would be returned to the user.
131     - Added the ability to specify the position for both the jump rule into
132       the psad chains as well as the position for new rules within the psad
133       chains via the -I argument to iptables.  This fixes a bug where the user
134       was given the impression that the IPTABLES_AUTO_RULENUM would accomplish
135       this.
136     - Populated the _debug option in the IPTables::ChainMgr module, and also
137       added a _verbose option so that the specific iptables commands can
138       actually be seen as IPTables::ChainMgr functions are called.
139     - Added code to install.pl to ask the user if a manual restart of syslog
140       is ok upon an unsuccessful test of the syslog reconfiguration.  This
141       fixes a bug where some syslog daemons might not re-import their
142       configurations after receiving a HUP signal.
143     - Bugfix for incorrect config variable name that gated Netfilter
144       prerequisite checks.
145     - Added code to install.pl to update command paths in psad.conf and
146       psadwatchd.conf if any of the paths are broken (i.e. the local system
147       does not conform to the default paths).  By default this only happens if
148       the user does not want old configs to be merged, but to override this
149       use the new --path-update command line argument to install.pl.
150     - Added the --Skip-mod-install command line argument to install.pl to
151       allow all perl module installs to be skipped.
152     - Added the --force-mod-regex command line argument to install.pl to allow
153       a regex match on perl module names to force matching modules to be
154       installed.
155     - Added the logrotate.psad file (contributed by Albert Whale).
156
157 psad-1.4.6 (06/13/2006):
158     - Added ENABLE_AUTO_IDS_REGEX and AUTO_BLOCK_REGEX to allow filtering on
159       logging prefixes.
160     - Added code to save DShield email to a file.
161     - Added IPTABLES_PREREQ_CHECK to allow the administrator to control the
162       frequency of Netfilter checks (for auto-block compatibility).
163     - Added IGNORE_LOG_PREFIXES to allow certain log prefixes to be completely
164       ignored by psad.
165     - Added classification.config file from Snort-2.3.3 so that psad can
166       assign danger levels based upon Snort rule class type.  This is useful
167       when also running fwsnort.
168     - Added snort_rule_dl to allow specific psad to assign specific danger
169       level values to particular signatures.  This is useful if you want to
170       do define certain Snort rules as being particularly evil (or not).
171       Running fwsnort is also necessary to take advantage of this feature.
172     - Added reference.config so that psad can include reference information in
173       email alerts that are derived from attacks detected by fwsnort.
174     - Updated to Snort-2.3.3 signatures.
175     - Updated to whois-4.7.13.
176
177 psad-1.4.5 (01/13/2006):
178     - Bugfix in IPTables::Parse to allow the limit target to apply to
179       logging rules.
180     - Made calls to chain creation and jump rule functions for only every
181       100 block calls in auto-IDS mode.
182     - Bugfix to make sure /var/run/psad directory exists at startup since
183       this directory is removed by some Linux distributions at boot time.
184     - Bugfix for zero masks in auto_dl; this allows a network of "0.0.0.0/0"
185       to be specified.
186     - Added ENABLE_FW_LOGGING_CHECK so that the Netfilter policy check can be
187       enabled/disabled easily via psad.conf.
188     - Enhanced -D output to include "uname -a" and "perl -V" output.
189     - Added ENABLE_RENEW_BLOCK_EMAILS to allow whether renew emails are sent
190       for auto-blocked addresses.
191
192 psad-1.4.4 (11/27/2005):
193     - Added MAC address reporting in psad email alerts.  This feature is
194       enabled via a new config keyword "ENABLE_MAC_ADDR_REPORTING".
195     - Added --fw-rm-block-ip <ip> option to allow IP addresses to be removed
196       from the auto-blocking chains from the command line.
197     - Updated command line firewall arguments to write commands to the
198       AUTO_IPT_SOCK domain socket.
199     - Added the ability to specify ports and port ranges to auto_dl file.
200     - Added --force-mod-install command line argument to installer to force
201       perl modules used by psad to be installed within /usr/lib/psad
202       regardless of whether they already exist in the system perl tree.
203     - Bugfix in the installer to seek() to the end of the fwdata file
204     - Bugfix for psad repeatedly trying to remove the same IP address(es)
205       from the auto-blocking chains.
206       instead of reading the entire thing into memory.
207     - Added the ability to truncate the fwdata file via a new configuration
208       keyword "TRUNCATE_FWDATA" (this is enabled by default).
209     - Bugfix in auto-blocking mode for deleting AUTO_IPT_SOCK when a HUP
210       signal is received.
211     - Bugfix for parsing Netfilter policies that contain ULOG logging rules
212       instead of the standard LOG target.
213     - Removed the smtpdaemon requirement in the RPM because psad might be
214       configured to not send email alerts.
215
216 psad-1.4.3 (09/27/2005):
217     - Bugfixes for auto-blocking code.  Timeouts should be handled
218       properly, including cached IP addresses in the auto_blocked_iptables
219       file that are referenced upon psad startup.  Communication with the
220       running psad is performed over a Unix domain socket in --fw-block
221       mode.
222     - Bugfix to seek to the end of the fwdata file instead of reading the
223       entire thing into memory and then looking for newly written logging
224       messages.  This drastically reduces the amount of memory required
225       by psad.
226     - Updated to only display psad chains if --verbose is set
227     - Updated to automatically flush the psad auto-response Netfilter chains
228       at start time (subject to a new config keyword "FLUSH_IPT_AT_INIT").
229
230 psad-1.4.2 (07/15/2005):
231     - Dependency bugfixes for mail binary.
232     - Bugfix for various IGNORE_* keywords not being honored.
233     - Bugfix for not timing out blocked IP addresses from a previous run.
234     - Updated to version 0.2 of the IPTables::ChainMgr module.
235     - Updated to not truncate the fwdata file upon psad startup.
236     - Added --fw-dump which produces a sanitized (i.e. no IP addresses)
237       version of the local Netfilter policy.  Also added --fw-include-ips
238       to (optionally) not sanitize IPs/nets.  Note that the 0.0.0.0 and
239       0.0.0.0/0 IPs/nets are not sanitized since they give no useful
240       information about specific IPs/nets.
241     - Added ulogd data collection mode.
242     - Bugfix for FW_MSG_SEARCH default (at least "DROP" is included now
243       even if FW_SEARCH_ALL is set to "N").
244     - Bugfix for non-network address for subnet specified with --fw-block.
245     - Bugfix for multiple --fw-block IPs/nets.
246     - Added README.SYSLOG (Francois Marier contributed the content).
247     - Made email alert prefixes (such as "[psad-alert]") customizable via
248       psad.conf.
249
250 psad-1.4.1 (03/12/2005):
251     - Updated to Snort-2.3 rules in the snort_rules directory.
252     - Re-worked syslog installation portion of install.pl.  The user will
253       always be prompted to enter the syslog daemon now, and also added
254       the --syslog-conf arg to allow the config file path to be specified
255       on the install.pl command line.
256     - Bugfix in install.pl for using IP address instead of network address
257       of directly connected subnets.
258     - Updated to version 4.6.23 of the whois client.
259     - Bugfix for distinguishing OPT field associated with --log-tcp-options
260       vs. --log-ip-options.
261     - Bugfix for syslog format that may not include the "kernel:" tag.
262     - Applied patch to only install perl modules that are not already
263       installed (Blair Zajac).
264     - Bugfix for the psad version number that is sent in DShield alerts.
265     - Updated Psad module directory structure to be consistent with current
266       versions of perl (5.8.x).
267     - Added IPTables::ChainMgr module.
268     - Completely re-worked the Netfilter auto-blocking code to use
269       IPTables::ChainMgr functions so that auto-generated rules are placed
270       in chains created by psad.
271     - Added IPT_AUTO_CHAIN keyword in psad.conf which is used to define the
272       set of chains to which auto-generated Netfilter rules are added.
273     - Added --fw-list-auto to display the contents of psad Netfilter
274       chains.
275     - Added the ability to import an IP into the Netfilter auto-blocking
276       chains from the command line with --fw-block-ip.  This allows psad to
277       apply its timeout mechanism against such IPs/nets.
278     - Added the ability to ignore packets based on input interface with
279       IGNORE_INTERFACES in psad.conf.
280     - Re-worked auto_dl code, better hash design and searching function.
281     - Removed dependency on sendmail command unless DShield alerting is
282       enabled and a DShield user id is specified.
283     - Added ALERTING_METHODS keyword in the file alert.conf to allow either
284       syslog or email alerts (or both) to be disabled.  Psad and psadwatchd
285       reference this file.
286
287 psad-1.4.0 (11/26/2004):
288     - Added p0f-style passive OS fingerprinting through the use of the OPT
289       field in iptables log messages (which is only logged through the use
290       of the --log-tcp-options command line arg to iptables).
291     - Bugfix for iptables log messages that include tcp sequence numbers
292       (see the iptables --log-tcp-sequence command line argument).
293     - Bugfix for O_RDONLY open flag when kmsgsd receives a HUP signal.
294
295 psad-1.3.4 (10/17/2004):
296     - Bugfix for init script directory on Slackware systems.
297     - Bugfix for null prefix counters.
298     - Added --whois-analysis argument since whois lookups are now disabled
299       by default when running in analysis (-A) mode.
300     - Updated psad_init() to rework setup() and import orderings vs.
301       --fw-analyze and --Benchmark modes.
302     - Added bidirectional iptables auto-blocking support for all chains
303       except for the INPUT and OUTPUT chains.
304     - Better syslog message support when run in auto-blocking mode.
305     - Added iptables auto-block rules section to --Status output.
306     - Added init script for Fedora systems.
307     - Added default_log() function to IPTables::Parse.  This function
308       parses user defined chains in an effort to find default logging
309       rules.
310     - Added EMAIL_LIMIT_STATUS_MSG to control whether or not psad sends a
311       status email when the PSAD_EMAIL_LIMIT threshold has been reached by
312       an IP address.
313     - Added ENABLE_SCAN_ARCHIVE to control whether or not psad archives old
314       scan data within /var/log/psad/scan_archive at start time.
315
316 psad-1.3.3 (09/09/2004):
317     - Fixed __WARN__ and __DIE__ exception handlers so that they
318       reference global message variables.
319     - Fixed auto danger level assignments.  Network auto assignments as
320       well as per-protocol assignments work now.
321     - Added SYSLOG_DAEMON variable to define which syslog daemon is running
322       on the underlying system instead of just guessing.
323     - Added the ability to ignore both ranges and specific ports/protocols
324       with a new variable IGNORE_PORTS in psad.conf.
325     - Bugfix to make sure email addresses are separated by spaces when
326       Psad::sendmail() is called.
327     - Bugfix for ipt_prefix counters not being parsed correct at import
328       time.
329     - Removed exclude_auto_ignore_ip() since this function was made
330       unnecessary by newly rewritten auto-assign code.
331     - Bugfix for Text::Wrap calls in install.pl uninstall() routine.
332     - Bugfix for using --no-fw-search-all even when FW_SEARCH_ALL is
333       set to "Y".
334     - Removed extraneous ".." and "**" chars from syslog messages, and
335       updated to use [+] prefix strings.
336     - Moved init scripts into init-scripts directory within source tree.
337     - Removed dependency on Bit::Vector (psad does not seem to make use
338       of any Date::Calc functions that require it).
339     - Wrapped copy() and move() calls with "or die()" to make them
340       safer in install.pl.
341     - Added check for existing psad process in install.pl.
342     - Updated to a new psad email alert subject format.  Prefixes of
343       "[psad-alert]", "[psad-error]", and "[psad-status]" are used now.
344     - Permissions fixes with umask() setting in /var/log/psad, permissions
345       fixes for files in /etc/psad at install time.
346
347 psad-1.3.2 (06/25/2004):
348     - Removed FW_MSG_SEARCH from psad.conf, and created a new config
349       file "fw_search.conf" that both psad and kmsgsd use to get the
350       FW_MSG_SEARCH definition(s).
351     - Added default mode of parsing all iptables messages instead of
352       just those that contain specific search strings.  A new config
353       variable "FW_SEARCH_ALL" was added to fw_search.conf that
354       controls this mode.
355     - Updated psad and kmsgsd so that multiple firewall search strings
356       can be specified through multiple FW_MSG_SEARCH variables in
357       fw_search.conf.
358     - Added iptables chain and logging-prefix tracking for current
359       scan interval in email alerts.
360     - Added protocol-specific auto-danger level assignments.
361     - Added total scan source and destination IP address counters in
362       --Status output.
363     - Added number of email alerts sent and OS guess in default
364       --Status output.  The output is getting wide now, so there is
365       also a new option --status-brief that will remove the alerts
366       sent and OS guess columns.
367     - Added getopt() command line arg parsing to kmsgsd with two new
368       options "-c" (for config file path) and "-k" (for fw_search.conf
369       path).
370     - Made iptables parsing code into its own script "fwcheck_psad"
371       that gets called by psad.
372     - Added Dshield stats summary to --Status output.
373     - Bugfix for auto-ignore IP addresses and networks being missed.
374     - Made parsing of ifconfig output language independent (should
375       handle French now for example).
376     - Removed "psad_" prefix on files psad_signatures, psad_auto_ips,
377       psad_posf, and psad_icmp_types in /etc/psad/.
378     - Updated to version 4.6.14 of the whois client.
379
380 psad-1.3.1 (12/25/2003):
381     - Added the ability to import /var/log/psad/<ip> directories
382       back into memory so scan data remains persistent across
383       psad restarts or system reboots.
384     - Added --Analyze-msgs to run psad in analysis mode against an
385       iptables logfile (/var/log/psad/fwdata by default).  The logfile
386       path can be changed with --messages-file.
387     - Added icmp type and code validation against RFC 792.
388     - Bugfix for being too strict with FW_MSG_SEARCH.
389     - Added port ranges for tcp and udp scans in <ip>/<dst>_packet_ctr.
390     - Added <ip>/<dst>_start_time and <ip>/os_guess.
391     - Bugfix for missing --no-signatures code.
392     - Updated to Snort-2.1 signatures.
393
394 psad-1.3 (11/30/2003):
395     - Replaced all signatures in psad_signatures with updated snort
396       rules.
397     - Added support for source and destination ip addresses in
398       signature matching code.  A new variable "HOME_NET" makes this
399       possible.
400     - Added support for the iptables output chain.
401     - Added chain tracking for all signatures.
402     - Replaced match_fastsigs() with two new routines for tcp and
403       udp signature matching that don't autovivify hash keys.
404     - Removed support for ipchains.
405     - Added support for metalog.
406     - Removed all "Undefined Code" signatures from psad_signatures.
407     - Re-worked %auto_blocked_ips hash and corresponding blocking
408       routines.  This (hopefully) fixes a restart bug seen on older
409       systems such as those that are still running versions of perl
410       less than 5.6.
411     - Re-worked firewall policy parsing routines.  Chains that have
412       a default policy of DROP are handled properly now.
413     - Bugfix for missing NULL char in kmsgsd.c.
414     - Updated scan alerting format.  Put current interval protocol
415       status before source and destination addresses.
416     - Buffer overflow fix in kmsgsd.c for size of buf[MAX_LINE_BUF]
417       buffer in read() call.
418     - Added --no-kmsgsd option to aid in psad --debug mode.
419
420 psad-1.2.4 (10/15/2003):
421     - Added danger level to subject line in email alerts.
422     - Removed diskmond altogether since psad now handles disk space
423       thresholds directly.  This allows filehandles to be handled
424       properly.
425     - Added auto_block_ignore_ip() to prevent 0.0.0.0, 127.0.0.1,
426       and local interface ips from being included in auto blocking
427       routines.
428     - Added Bit::Vector module to stop installation warnings from
429       Date::Calc.
430     - Made get_local_ips() called periodically since local addresses
431       may change (dhcp, etc.).
432     - Added installation code and init script for Gentoo Linux.
433     - Bugfix for INIT_DIR in uninstall() routine in install.pl.
434     - Bugfix for auto-blocking loop after timeouts are hit.
435     - Added --status-dl [N] to display status information only for
436       those scans that reach at least [N].
437
438 psad-1.2.3 (09/12/2003):
439     - Added interface tracking for scans.
440     - Bugfix for not opening /etc/hosts.deny the right way in
441       tcpwr_block().
442     - Bugfix for psadfifo path in syslog-ng config.
443     - Better format for summary stats section in email alerts.
444     - Bugfix for INIT_DIR path on non-RedHat systems.
445     - Bugfix for gzip path.
446     - Make Psad.pm installed last of all perl modules installed
447       by psad.
448     - Added additional call to incr_syscall_ctr() in psadwatchd.c
449
450 psad-1.2.2 (08/24/2003):
451     - psad is finally available as an RPM package.
452     - Added chain tracking for iptables.
453     - Added chain counts to --Status output.
454     - Bugfix for psad not taking into account multiple scan
455       destinations.
456     - Reworked auto-blocking code for both tcpwrappers and
457       iptables.  Lines added to /etc/hosts.deny will no longer be
458       duplicated.  Added IPTABLES_AUTO_RULENUM and
459       IPCHAINS_AUTO_RULENUM so auto rules can be inserted at a
460       configurable point within iptables and ipchains policies.
461     - Psad now installs all perl modules within /usr/lib/psad.
462     - Removed /var/log/psad/<ip>/scanlog file since it was wasting
463       too much disk.
464     - Made psad, psadwatchd, and diskmond take the machine hostname
465       from their respective config files.  This makes installation
466       via the rpm easier, and is generally cleaner.
467     - Added scan destination in --Status output.
468     - Added --status-sort-dl (the default status output is now
469       sorted by ip address by default).
470
471 psad-1.2.1 (07/11/2003):
472     - Bugfix for multiple processes being spawned by psadwatchd
473       due to lack of proper config variables in the new split
474       daemon config files.
475     - Bugfix for old scan messages being regenerated if a HUP
476       signal is received.
477     - Bugfix for incorrectly calculating disk utilization in
478       diskmond.c.
479     - Extended install.pl to include compression for archived
480       files in /etc/psad.
481     - Added preserve questions in install.pl for the psad
482       signature and auto ips files.
483     - Bugfix for --USR1 command line switch not mapping to the
484       correct subroutine.
485     - Bugfix for psad man page missing the pipe character in
486       psadfifo line for syslog.conf.
487
488 psad-1.2 (06/18/2003):
489     - Added passive OS fingerprinting based on packet ttl, length,
490       tos, and id fields.
491     - Added dshield.org alerting capability.
492     - Added exec_external_script() for external script execution.
493     - Added auto blocked timeouts.
494     - Implemented config re-imports via HUP signals in a manner
495       similar to various other system daemons (sysylog, apache
496       etc.)
497     - Better --Status output that shows packet counts per protocol
498       for each ip.
499     - Added --ip-status for more verbose status output for a
500       particular ip address.
501     - Added config preservation code to install.pl.
502     - Added Psad::psyslog().
503     - Split psad.conf into a separate config file for each of the
504       four psad daemons.
505     - Completely re-worked the auto blocking code (made dedicated
506       files for iptables and ipchains block methods).
507     - Added danger level hash.
508     - Minor code cleanups (shorter hash keys, etc.).
509
510 psad-1.1.1 (04/26/2003):
511     - Bugfix for incorrect usage of %scan hash keys associated
512       with tcp/udp when the current protocol is icmp.
513     - Bugfix for being too strict on iptable default log string.
514     - Reworked USR1 signal handler so the Data::Dumper function
515       call is made in the main part of the psad code.
516     - Added a startup message for psad.
517     - Minor bugfix for leading whitespace in auto_ips.
518
519 psad-1.1 (04/20/2003):
520     - Added the IPTables::Parse module for better processing of
521       the iptables ruleset.
522     - Added --snort-sids so that iptables messages generated by
523       fwsnort can be included in alerts.  Such alerts now include
524       the content fields of packets (fwsnort uses the iptables
525       string match module).
526     - Added the ability to specify entire networks in the auto
527       ips file through the use of the Net::IPv4Addr module.
528     - Better logging format that reinstates the current interval,
529       and adds an "overall stats" section that includes packet
530       counters per protocol.
531     - Removed the PROTO hash key since it was unnecesssary.
532     - Better benchmarking code.
533     - Bug fix for incorrectly looking for the "MAC" string in
534       iptables messages that could have been generated by the
535       FORWARD chain.
536
537 psad-1.0 (02/27/2003):
538     - Added --Benchmark and --packets command line options to support
539       psad benchmarking.
540     - Bugfix for improperly detecting NULL scans.
541     - Completely redesigned website.
542
543 psad-1.0.0-pre4 (11/26/2002):
544     - Rewrote kmsgsd and psadwatchd in C.
