[ilugd] [Fwd] Nmap 3.55 Released
Note: Forwarded message attached -- Orignal Message -- From: Fyodor <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Nmap 3.55 Released ___ ilugd mailinglist -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://frodo.hserus.net/mailman/listinfo/ilugd Archives at: http://news.gmane.org/gmane.user-groups.linux.delhi http://www.mail-archive.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/
[ilugd] [Forward]Nmap 3.55 Released (Ignore Previous)
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hello everyone, I am just about to leave for a week in New York, including attending HOPE 5 ( http://www.the-fifth-hope.org/hoop/ ). Perhaps I'll see some of you there. Now there are (smart) people who would advise against releasing a new stable version of Nmap just hours before my flight. I might come back next week to thousands of mails saying "you forgot to set read permission on the tarball, you dolt!" or "it doesn't even compile on [some important OS]!" I'm gonna risk it anyway. I'm pleased to release Nmap 3.55. It includes dozens of changes. The coolest is MAC address detection and vendor lookup. That can be very useful for systems/network administrators trying to track machines with dynamic IPs. It also augments OS detection in determining what a system is -- a system with a Cisco ethernet card is probably a router. Note the MAC address field in this example: # nmap -A -T4 wap Starting nmap 3.55 ( http://www.insecure.org/nmap/ ) at 2004-07-07 01:38 PDT Insufficient responses for TCP sequencing (0), OS detection may be less accurate Interesting ports on wap.yuma.net (192.168.0.6): (The 1659 ports scanned but not shown below are in state: closed) PORT STATE SERVICE VERSION 80/tcp open httpNetGear MR-series WAP (MR814; Embedded HTTPD 1.00, 1999(c) Delta Networks Inc.) MAC Address: 00:09:5B:3F:7D:5E (Netgear) Device type: WAP Running: Compaq embedded, Netgear embedded OS details: WAP: Compaq iPAQ Connection Point or Netgear MR814 Nmap run completed -- 1 IP address (1 host up) scanned in 13.750 seconds Other changes include more service fingerprints, a number of crash fixes, better OS detection names, portability fixes, and more. Here is the CHANGELOG since 3.50: o Added MAC address printing. If Nmap receives packet from a target machine which is on an Ethernet segment directly connected to the scanning machine, Nmap will print out the target MAC address. Nmap also now contains a database (derived from the official IEEE version) which it uses to determine the vendor name of the target ethernet interface. The Windows version of Nmap does not yet have this capability. If any Windows developer types are interesting in adding it, you just need to implement IPisDirectlyConnected() in tcpip.cc and then please send me the patch. Here are examples from normal and XML output (angle brackets replaced with [] for HTML changelog compatability): MAC Address: 08:00:20:8F:6B:2F (SUN Microsystems) [address addr="00:A0:CC:63:85:4B" vendor="Lite-on Communications" addrtype="mac" /] o Updated the XML DTD to support the newly printed MAC addresses. Thanks to Thorsten Holz (thorsten.holz(a)mmweg.rwth-aachen.de) for sending this patch. o Added a bunch of new and fixed service fingerprints for version detection. These are from Martin MaÃÅ¡ok (martin.macok(a)underground.cz). o Normalized many of the OS names in nmap-os-fingerprints (fixed capitalization, typos, etc.). Thanks to Royce Williams (royce(a)alaska.net) and Ping Huang (pshuang(a)alum.mit.edu) for sending patches. o Modified the mswine32/nmap_performance.reg Windows registry file to use an older and more compatable version. It also now includes the value "StrictTimeWaitSeqCheck"=dword:0001 , as suggested by Jim Harrison (jmharr(a)microsoft.com). Without that latter value, the TcpTimedWaitDelay value apparently isn't checked. Windows users should apply the new registry changes by clicking on the .reg file. Or do it manually as described in README-WIN32. This file is also now available in the data directory at http://www.insecure.org/nmap/data/nmap_performance.reg o Applied patch from Gisle Vanem (giva(a)bgnett.no) which allows the Windows version of Nmap to work with WinPCAP 3.1BETA (and probably future releases). The Winpcap folks apparently changed the encoding of adaptor names in this release. o Fixed a ping scanning bug that would cause this error message: "nmap: targets.cc:196: int hostupdate (Target **, Target *, int, int, int, timeout_info *, timeval *, timeval *, pingtune *, tcpqueryinfo *, pingstyle): Assertion `pt->down_this_block > 0' failed." Thanks to Beirne Konarski (beirne(a)neo.rr.com) for reporting the problem. o If a user attempts -PO (the letter O), print an error suggesting that they probably mean -P0 (Zero) to disable ping scanning. o Applied a couple patches (with minor changes) from Oliver Eikemeier (eikemeier(a)fillmore-labs.com) which fix an edge case relating to decoy scanning IP ranges that must be sent through different interfaces, and improves the Nmap response to certain error codes returned by the FreeBSD firewall system. The patches are from http://cvsweb.freebsd.org/ports/security/nmap/files/ . o Many people have reported this error: "checking for type of 6th argument to recvfrom()... configure: error: Cannot find type for 6th argument to recvfrom()". In most cases, the cause was a missing or broken C++ c

[ilugd] Linguistics Meets Linux: A Review of Morphix-NLP
Zhang Le, a Chinese scientist working on NLP has decided to pack the most important language analysis and processing applications into a single bootable CD: Morphix-NLP. More than 640 MB of NLP specific software is included and there's still a lot of place on the CD which uses a compressed filesystem for bringing us the best of both worlds The CD is based on Morphix that is based on famous Knoppix which, in turn, is based on Debian GNU/Linux distribution.

RE: [ilugd] Gentoo
To summarize the heart of Gentoo, imagine a user sitting in front of a Linux system. What does he or she want do to? The Gentoo philosophy is to allow this user to do what he or she wants to do, without getting in the way... Portage will keep your Gentoo Linux system as "up-to-date" as you desire. And because of this, experienced Gentoo users don't pay too much attention to "new versions" of Gentoo Linux -- after all, the latest and greatest version of Gentoo Linux is always available by typing an emerge sync command. There's no need to wait several months for a "new version" of Gentoo Linux to be released because Gentoo Linux is continually updated and refined and these improvements are immediately made available to you... #Support for x86, PowerPC, UltraSparc, Alpha and MIPS processors #LiveCD-based installation for x86, PowerPC, UltraSparc and Alpha #Latest stable KDE and GNOME #Various optimized Linux kernels #Very modern GNU development environment #Excellent filesystem support: ReiserFS, XFS, ext3, EVMS, LVM #Excellent hardware support: NVIDIA, Creative Labs Live! and Audigy #Modular OpenGL and compiler sub-system (supports multiple co-existing versions) #Clean, dependency-based system initialization scripts #New "hardened" Gentoo security initiative #6000+ packages of the latest and greatest software #Enhanced Portage capabilities Great Yaar!

Poor support offered by PostgreSQL team. Oracle supports more than 10 plateforms including the features in Grid Computing and Mobile Technology. "Oracle pioneered grid computing for the enterprise. Only Oracle offers a complete commercial software infrastructure designed specifically for grid computing in the data center" Cost: Again it's a debatable thing but I *believe* cost is measured by ROI. And it depends on the requirement. For a very large enterprise, Oracle has proved to attain the ROI within a year or so. Oracle is expensive (BUT worth every single penny if it deployed on an enterprise platform). PostgreSQL is free. Plateform Independence: Oracle has support for every platform on this planet. It scales from a PDA to a MPP machine. PostgreSQL does have a good platform support BUT works well on few of them. Solaris, Windows, and other flavours. Deployment: Deployment in critical situations - what does 'critical means'? 24*7 or what ???. If 24*7 then Oracle has an edge over PostgreSQL. So, if you have deep pockets then opt for oracle else focus on PostgreSQL. "We absolutely know we made the right decision at the right time to implement Oracle E-Business Suite.

So what're we doing at the ILUGD stall? We're playing loud music. We mainly do 60s and 70s rock, but old Hindi is also available on request :) I mention this because a gentleman from another, nearby stall popped in yesterday and said words to the effect of ``Thanks for the music, otherwise we'd have been very bored out here'' We're selling CDs. We currently have Knoppix 3.3, Fire 0.4, GnuWinII and Mandrake. Plan to get Fedora Core 1 (3-CD set) today. We've sold tons of CDs so far, and given away not a few. Kapil is managing the CD sales, and he's henceforth given the title ``Supreme CD Sales Generalissimo for Life'' in ILUG-Delhi. We're giving demos of Linux to visitors. If Sudev were selling anything he'd be a millionaire by now -- he's so busy demonstrating and discussing LTSP and Linux in the Office that he doesn't even get time to eat lunch! AshLin stands near the entrance of the stall and charms visitors into having a look, and you know what they say, one look and they're hooked. We're pledging support to educational and government institutions who visit the stall. Expect a long list of TODOs once the event is over - -- we've committed to propagating Linux and Free Software all over India, from Almora to Ahmedabad. And, of course, in Delhi. We're having a ball! The days have passed by in a haze of activity, and the evenings in a haze of food and alcohol. So come on, visit the stall up to 2pm today and buy a couple of CDs, talk to some people, make a convert, join the festivities. And while you're there, don't forget to give a special thanks to the people who made this possible.

Hi Ramesh, I am sorry since my core area is Linux Administration/Networking and Securities; I won't be able to throw appropriate light on the Combo of "Linux + C".

RE: [ilugd] Postgres vs oracle
Correct! To be more precise: The standard form of VACUUM is best used with the goal of maintaining a fairly level steady-state usage of disk space. The standard form finds old tuples and makes their space available for re-use within the table, but it does not try very hard to shorten the table file and return disk space to the operating system. If you need to return disk space to the operating system you can use VACUUM FULL --- but what’s the point of releasing disk space that will only have to be allocated again soon? Moderately frequent standard VACUUMs are a better approach than infrequent VACUUM FULLs for maintaining heavily-updated tables. Recommended practice for most sites is to schedule a database-wide VACUUM once a day at a lowusage time of day, supplemented by more frequent vacuuming of heavily-updated tables if necessary. (If you have multiple databases in an installation, don’t forget to vacuum each one; the vacuumdb script may be helpful.) Use plain VACUUM, not VACUUM FULL, for routine vacuuming for space recovery. VACUUM FULL is recommended for cases where you know you have deleted the majority of tuples in a table, so that the steady-state size of the table can be shrunk substantially with VACUUM FULL’s more aggressive approach. If you have a table whose contents are deleted completely every so often, consider doing it with TRUNCATE rather than using DELETE followed by VACUUM.

The first (plain vacuum) merely marked unused (deleted) disk clusters as free but does not compact the physical database. The second (vacuum full) does all that and also physically compacts the database on disk. Using vacuum full will lock up your database, no queries or transactions will be possible while it is running. However most databases achieve a sort of `steady state' (roughly the same number of records being added and deleted regularly) and plain vacuum suffices for that. Transactions are possible during vacuum, and most installations will prefer to use that periodically over vacuum full. It's only if your database sizes vary wildly over the course of time that you'll need to use vacuum full (and consequently bring the system down for maintenance). The above is from my understanding of PgSQL, would appreciate clarifications in case I've missed anything out.

Kindly show us any relevant benchmark to prove your point on your "tried and tested

No such things would happen if the architecture is good.
If at all this would normally lead to performance improvement not
degradation.
The strategy to divide the Database onto multiple parallel servers is a good
one
And a tried and tested one at that.
It would be anyday faster than a single large footprint database
cluster.
All you would need to do is pick up data in parallel from more than one
database to generate a report and very likely use a single database for
a transaction.
And Gurpreet about your hunch on using a Free Software.
Biggest of Internet Sites are running on open source databases.
And you have option of paying up if you don't like Free(muft as in
thandi lassi) software.

Hi Tarun,
The strategy of employing dual servers to divide your data is a short term
arrangement. Lot of performance related issues *will* crop up in the future and lot of
fingers would be raised on you.
Switch to a solution like > SQL Server. Savings on $$ by employing a freeware like
PostgreSQL is fine but look at other aspects as well.
You can't match optimizer of PostgreSQL vis-a-vis Oracle. Oracle is far ahead!

Gupreet,
It is a real application. It's an OLTP appliaction for banking and
credit card industry. From a concurrency point of view, I expect about 200
connections to the database in the worst case and a fifth of that on the
average.
however, if postgres cannot handle that kind of user connections;
that is fine too. I just need to know the number it can handle and then I
will find a way of dividing the data over 2 or more servers such that each
gets lesser load.
A little off-topic, but
A little research on the web mentions that Postgres Query optimizer
is weak and in general one should optimize the queries by hand (we have to
do the same for oracle anyway. For that kind of database size, I do not
trust the query optimizer any way). Is that true?

about 10-50 MB added every day)?

run
moderately large databases on postgres and how fast they found it.
I have heard that it is possible to now provide replication and fail

with postgres. Has anybody tried it?

RE: [ilugd] Postgres vs oracle
Dear Tarun, Comparison of PostgreSQL (open source) vis-a-vis Oracle (commercial) is UNFAIR! The subject *should* be "PostgeSQL vs Foxpro Ooops > MySQL". PostgreSQL no doubt is a good database BUT you can't match Oracle's superior technology. Its in the business for the past 27 years (PostgreSQL made its presence felt in 1996) and a dominant player (40% market share). Oracle's database is supported on PDAs to MPP machines (support for more than 200 platforms). PostgreSQL CAN't boast such kind of statistics. Replication Support was ONLY announced lately > 28/08/2003. It will take *some* time to mature (bug fixing underway). Fail over support > Yawn, Yawn ...N/D (No Details). Oracle's technology (i.e Real Application Clusters) *is* UNBREAKABLE. Consider this: Synonyms Postgres: No Updateable views Postgres: No. Partial rollback of transaction Postgres: No. Practically useful maximum number of concurrent users Postgres: N/D Practical maximum number of concurrent users writing to the database Postgres: N/D Incremental backups Postgres: No. Scalability - Support for SMP systems (parallel query execution, etc.) Postgres: Postgres is not threaded, but every connection gets it's own process. The OS will distribute the processes across the processors. Basically a single connection will not be any faster with SMP, but multiple connections will be. Bitmap indexes Postgres: No. OLAP supporting functions in SQL Postgres: No. Automatic partitioning of large tables/indexes Postgres: No. Gateways to other DBMSs Postgres: None. Access to multiple databases in one session Postgres: Only switching between databases. Two phase commit Postgres: No. VLDB implementations Postgres: 60GB+ databases exist BUT performance usually degrades. Support from CASE packages Postgres: N/D Special solutions for storage of XML documents Postgres: No. XML support integrated in DBMS Postgres: No. Dedicated Web servers Postgres: None. Automatic recovery from failures Postgres: No. There is no transaction log, so the only recovery method is to restore database from backup Availability and quality of technical support Postgres: ONLY mailing lists and web-site (postgresql.org). Poor. Specific market segments occupied Postgres: Mostly in education and small web services -Original Message- From: Tarun Upadhyay [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Fri 10/10/2003 9:50 PM To: 'The Linux-Delhi mailing list' Cc: Subject: [ilugd] Postgres vs oracle We have a customer application on oracle.

I want to suggest that Postgres could be the right choice of database for that as it is close to oracle in its sql syntax and hence porting should be simpler. Can anybody guide me on what kind of pitfalls we could run into by choosing Postgres. The database is not very large but is much larger than what goes for "database" in mysql discussions (about 1 GB of data, 100 tables with about 10-50 MB added every day)?

RE: [ilugd] Postgres vs oracle
Hi Tarun, I think you are trying to compare a Apple with a Water Melon. But any case if you are really facing a real time scenario, please make it clear. what exactly the application you are running and how many concurrent user you are expecting to be there as concurrency is a major factor which can cause ample amount of problems for the DBA. I make sure that I would be able to solve all your queries.
