Task To Be Done
After 2.11.0 Release
RWH: Check out the web based interface to NAT connections package: http://software.inl.fr/trac/trac.cgi/wiki/pynetfilter_conntrack At Site: http://software.inl.fr/trac/trac.cgi/wiki See Demo at: http://demo.edenwall.com/conntrack/
RWH: Checkout OpenQRM could be another tool to help in a big scenario, with several servers (Datacenters).
RWH: Look at http://www.drunkwerks.com/docs/NetworkQueryTool/
RWH: Look at http://ipaudit.sourceforge.net
RWH: Look at http://sat.berlios.de (SAT)
RWH: Look at SSLdump? (from Tracker)
RWH: http://cricket.sourceforge.net/ is a wonderful front end for Tobi's RRD (which is the next-gen MRTG) and would (imho) be a valuable addition to NST. If Cricket isn't deemed right, there are a variety of similar tools @ http://people.ee.ethz.ch/~oetiker/webtools/mrtg/links.ht ml (not to mention all the RRD tools a Google search might find, like ganglia?)
RWH: IPPLAN is the best by far TCP IP address management software and tracking tool, it also extends to do DNS administration (forward and reverse zones, import existing zones via zone transfer), configuration file management, circuit management (customizable via templates) and storing of hardware information (customizable via templates).
RWH: Another SourceForge member (datta_sid) suggested that we add the OSSIM ( http://www.ossim.net ) package to the NST distribution. It looks like a nice "pull everything together" tool. We should see how difficult it would be to add it to the distribution (and how much effort is required to configure it).
RWH: Windows 2000/XP/2003 NTLM and LanMan Password Grabber By fizzgig and the foofus.net Team
RWH: Firewall category. Shorewall, Dansguardian, Squid, OpenVPN, Bridging. Great additions for a Network Security "Toolbox". But please, no red and green networks. AARRRGGHH!!
RWH: Fix the /etc/rc.d/init.d/ntop script so people can configure ntop from the WUI and still use the standard service controls to manage the ntop service (currently its broken).
PKB: It lookes like truecrypt.org provides a open source encrypted file system that works in both Windows and Linux. We should check it out and see about adding it to the distribution.
