- Additions to the manual.* Thu Jan 17 2002 Simon Edwards <simon@simonzone.com> 1.9.10-1mdk- 1.9.10 release.- A "Restore to factory defaults" button.- Small changes to some of the text strings in the GUI.- Explicitly requests /bin/bash when running the scripts from the GUI.- Additions and improvements to the manual.* Thu Dec 20 2001 Simon Edwards <simon@simonzone.com> 1.9.9-1mdk- 1.9.9 release.- Fixed a small bug in the DHCP rules. (It was blocking lease refreshes on  Win).- Fixed ipchains support, looks like it's been broken for a while.- Resetting the network subsystem now handles ipchains or iptables in  /usr/sbin/ too.- Added AudioGalaxy and DirectPlay (most Microsoft games), Halflife support.- Fixed a tiny crash bug in the case where the protocol DB file can't be  found.- Made the source port usage info in the protocol DB tighter.- Looks for ipchains/iptables in /usr/local/sbin too.* Thu Nov 29 2001 Simon Edwards <simon@simonzone.com> 1.9.8-1mdk- 1.9.8 release.- Added proper multi-language support to the protocol DB.- Fixed a nasty bug in the generated firewall scripts that could cause  the machine to appear to hang at boottime.- Fix a small design bug concerning the user defined protocols. (Accepts  any source port now, instead of just ones in the dynamic range).- Guarddog now looks for ipchains or iptables in /usr/sbin/.* Mon Nov 19 2001 Simon Edwards <simon@simonzone.com> 1.9.7-1mdk- 1.9.7 release.- The README file has been updated. Please read it.- Firewall script now returns a proper exit code.- Fixed Diablo II protocol entry. (I hope)- Added Microsoft's "SMB over TCP" protocol to the DB.- Added XDMCP to the DB.- The iptables part now only accepts NEW state tracking entries that are SYN  packets.- Fixed a buglet where clicking 'Ok' is the firewall disabled didn't exit the  program after reseting the network subsystem.- Added DHCP support to the "Advanced" tab. (Thanks to Ludovic Lange for the  patch).- Added "Log Aborted TCP connections" option. This can detect half-open  stealth scans. (Now every nmap scan type can be logged).- Specifies the log level to iptables as a number. (iptables>=1.2.3 wants a  number)- Scripts now explictly use bash instead of just plain sh. (bash is the  official standard linux shell anyway).- Fixed NFS support.- Scripts now explicitly use gawk(1) instead of just plain awk(1).- Fixed a problem that would stop the firewall script from working properly  for people who use a language setting other than English. (thanks to  Ludovic Lange detecting submitting a patch for this).* Fri Sep 28 2001 Simon Edwards <simon@simonzone.com> 1.9.6-1mdk- 1.9.6 release.- Fixed a bug that would cause Guarddog to crash if you pressed ctrl+u while  editing an address.- Removed use of ++ in the firewall script.- Added the netbios port 138 stuff to the DB and rolled all the netbios  entries into just one entry: Windows Networking.- Renamed "Authentication" in the DB to the more accurate "ident/auth".- Added LDAP, LDAP-SLL, SWAT, Diablo II, IPP and Nessus to the DB.- Should handle broadcast packets better. (Your logs should not fill up with  netbios/smb broadcasts).- Firewall script doesn't make as many assumptions about which directories  the unix tools live in.* Wed Aug 29 2001 Simon Edwards <simon@simonzone.com> 1.9.5-1mdk- Small clean ups.- The "Advanced Protocol Help" now works.- Fixed a nasty bug in the definition for ICQ that leaving the firewall  wide open.- Fixed the annoying "[: -eq: unary operator expected" buglet that some  people were seeing.- Fixed to work when virtual interfaces are defined.- Now handles NIC broadcast addresses properly.- Added code to enforce the Strong ES model (RFC 1122 section 3.3.4.2).- Now correctly avoids trying to use DNS when there are no decent NICs  available. (This was causing slow reboots with iptables complaining when  it could not resolve host names).- Added the ability to Import/Export the firewall script to the Advanced tab.  It also has a "Description" text box for the benefit of people who want to  juggle firewalls for several machines.- Since adding Import/Export of firewall scripts, it has become meaningful to  run Guarddog as a non-root user to create scripts to be used elsewhere.  It is now possible to run Guarddog as a mere mortal with reduced  functionality.- Reformatted the changelog.* Sun Aug 12 2001 Simon Edwards <simon@simonzone.com> 1.9.4-1mdk- No long uses the konsole to run the firewall script in. Guarddog now has  it's own window that it can run the firewall and other scripts in. When run,  the firewall script was says what it is doing. Much friendlier.- Gnutella and NetMeeting support added.- Fixed a small bug that sometimes caused the same modprobe command to output  multiple times.- Fixed a bug that was causing configuration to get scrambled when read in.* Thu Jul 9 2001 Simon Edwards <simon@simonzone.com> 1.9.3-1mdk- Fixed a crash if you click to the right of the checkboxes on  the protocol page.- Fixed a bug that would cause Guarddog to fail to read the  existing firewall if it doesn't contain at least one user defined zone.- Add 'Connections' list which allows the user to select which zones the  current zone should be connected to.- Rearranged the GUI somewhat. It's now much better layed out and sports  icons and symbolic hints in places.- Added builtin help box on the protocol panel. Shows information and help  about a given protocol.- Also replaced a lot of input boxes in the GUI with spinboxes.* Sat Jun 16 2001 Simon Edwards <simon@simonzone.com> 1.9.2-2mdk- The last rpm from me had a dependancy problem. RPM saw that my opengl  library was using the Nvidia libGLcore.so library so it thought that  everyone should have a libGLcore.so install reguardless of which driver  they actually use. grrrr. Why RPM thinks it should list the dependancies  of my particular libGL.so in with the final package is beyond me. Anyway,  This spec file is the same as the 1.9.2-1mdk one except that on my system  I've hacked my /usr/lib/rpm/find-requires script to *never* list  libGLcore.so. Works, but it's not a great solution. The generated RPM file  will no longer demand a libGLcore.so...* Thu Jun 14 2001 Simon Edwards <simon@simonzone.com> 1.9.2-1mdk- Netfilter/iptables is now supported. The generated firewalls use either  ipchains or iptables automatcially at run time. It also uses  iptables state tracking modules to handle annoying things like FTP. This  provides a *much* tighter firewall than old ipchains.- Advanced logging also part of the new iptables support, including rate  limited logging and even log messages to warn when rate limiting is in  effect. Reflected in the GUI is a whole new tab pane dedicated to logging.- The address lists now happily accept domain names instead of just IP  addresses.- Also fixed a nasty bug in the ipchains firewall that was causing the wrong  zone policies to be applied to packets. We don't call these a development  versions for nothing folks!- The RPM creates two small scripts in /etc/ppp to make sure that the  firewall is run when every a PPP interface goes up or down. This is a  workaround for a bug in the PPP scripts.* Wed May 9 2001 Simon Edwards <simon@simonzone.com> 1.9.1-1mdk- Protocols can now be set to either Deny/Accept and now also Reject.- It is now possible to specify user defined protocols. i.e. open/close  specific ports.- 'printer', 'syslog' and 'ntp' have now been added to the network protocol  database.* Mon Apr 14 2001 Simon Edwards <simon@simonzone.com> 1.9.0-1mdk- The first developer release aiming at version 2.0. The 1.9.0  and higher code is a rewrite and redesign.  Significant changes are the use  of XML to store a database of information about network protocols. The work  and code is also shared with Watchdog. I intend to fully document the XML  format I've designed in the hope that others will find it useful and support  it. Guarddog now has the concept of 'zones' which allow you to place  different hosts and networks into groups which can then have different  firewall policies. Router configurations are a target for 2.0, but this  development version still doesn't support them, yet.* Wed Jan 17 2001 Simon Edwards <simon@simonzone.com> 1.0.0-1mdk- No real changes except for updates and additions to the documentation.* Fri Dec 22 2000 Simon Edwards <simon@simonzone.com> 0.9.5-1mdk- Generated firewalls now setup the kernel networking protection.- Generated firewalls are now tighter, only opening the Local Port range  instead of all non-privileged ports where appropriate.- Added option to always Reject Auth requests. (This can speed up POP connections).* Thu Nov 30 2000 Simon Edwards <simon@simonzone.com> 0.9.4-1mdk- Small fix for ISDN users. (Thanks to Joerg Buchland).* Tue Nov 22 2000 Simon Edwards <simon@simonzone.com> 0.9.3-1mdk- Now requires KDE 2.- Most of the GUI code has been rewritten for KDE 2.- GUI has also been cleaned up somewhat.- It also attempts to automatically identify which interface is  being used to access the net. (Thanks to J. F. Gratton).- Added an option to completely disable the firewall.* Mon Sep 2 2000 Simon Edwards <simon@simonzone.com> 0.9.2-1mdk- RealPlayer support added.- Small changes to the GUI to fix a few layout problems. Still  not perfect, but much better.- Manual is much more complete now. Now has a tutorial and FAQ section.* Sun Jul 16 2000 Simon Edwards <simon@simonzone.com> 0.9.1-2mdk- Fixed a small bug in the menu entry to Guarddog.* Tue Jul 11 2000 Simon Edwards <simon@simonzone.com> 0.9.1-1mdk- 0.9.1 release.- Packaged with RPM for Mandrake 7.1 (should also work with Redhat).- Some display glitch fixes, still more remain, grrr.- Should now be able to find the protocol database file ok. Sorry to those people  who tried to get it to run from source and failed.- Uses sane defaults for checkboxes in new firewalls.
