LCAP modifies the value in the sysctl file /proc/sys/kernel/cap-bound.  "Capabilities" are a form of kernel-based access control. Linux kernel versions 2.2.11 and greater include the idea of a "capability bounding set," a list of capabilities that can be held by any process on the system. If a capability is removed from the bounding set, the capability may not be used by any process on the system (even processes owned by root).  By spoon

linux-2.0.38-ow4.tar..>	Oct 27 13:53:49 1999     25659  This patch (for kernel version 2.0.38) is a collection of security-related features for the Linux kernel, all configurable via the new 'Security options' configuration section.  In addition to the new features, some versions of the patch contain various security fixes.  The number of such fixes changes from version to version, as some are becoming obsolete (such as because of the same problem getting fixed with a new kernel release), while other security issues are discovered.  Homepage here.  By Solar Designer   
linux-2.2.12-ow6.tar..>	Oct 12 11:33:52 1999     24545  The Secure-Linux patch adds a few security features to the kernel which, while not a complete method of protection, will stop most of the 'cookbook' buffer overflow exploits cold. It also adds the option of restricting the use of symlinks in +t (temp) directories which fixes most tmp-race exploits as well.  It can also add a little bit more privacy to the system by restricting access to parts of /proc to root so that users may not see who else is logged on or what they're doing. By Solar Designer

pmfirewall-1.1.1.tar..>	Nov  2 11:51:24 1999     13361  PMFirewall is an Ipchains Firewall and Masquerading Configuration Utility for Linux. It is designed to allow a beginner to to build a custom firewall with little or no ipchains experience. This firewall should work for most Workstations, Servers, and Dual NIC routers using either a dialup or LAN setup.  It is restrictive to outside attacks while still being as transparent as possible to those inside. Currently only Redhat 6.x and Mandrake 6.x are supported, but support for other distributions is being developed.  Changes: A bug was fixed which caused masquerading to be installed even if you chose not to enable it; plus a few small cosmetic fixes.  By Rick Johnson

It is designed to allow a beginner to build a custom firewall with little or no ipchains experience. This firewall should work for most Workstations, Servers, and Dual NIC routers using either a dialup or LAN setup. It is restrictive to outside attacks while still being as transparent as possible to those inside.  Changes: Support for most popular distributions of Linux, a new display of detected interface and network information on firewall start, and code-cleanups and error checking.   Homepage here.

This firewall should work for most Workstations, Servers, and Dual NIC routers using either a dialup or LAN setup. It is restrictive to outside attacks while still being as transparent as possible to those inside.  Changes: A fix for a problem with pmfirewall starting before pcmcia ethernet cards were activated, causing the firewall not to activate, use of a reject flag instead of denal of IDENTD requests to fix timeouts problems for services that require an AUTH response, DHCP fixed for cable modem users, much more.

redir-2.1.tar.gz       	Oct 18 13:43:37 1999     28527  Redir is a port redirector. Its functionality basically consists of the ability to listen for TCP connections on a given port, and, when it recieves a connection, to then connect to a given destination address/port, and pass data between them. It finds most of its applications in traversing firewalls, but, of course, there are other uses. It can run under inetd or stand alone (in which case it handles multiple connections). It is 8 bit clean, not limited to line mode, is small and light. By Sammy Creasey.  Homepage  here.

rexFBD-0.2.tar.gz      	Dec 20 10:31:39 1999      3814  Fork Bomb Defuser is an easily loadable kernel module for Linux which detects, logs, and disables "fork bombs". It allows you to configure max_forks_per_second and max_tasks_per_user parameters at module load time. Any possible fork bomb that attempts to spawn a huge number of processes simultaneously is detected in real time, and the fork bomb is disabled.  Changes: A fix for a bug where the root user could be locked out.  Homepage here.  By Rohit Singh
rexFBD-0.3.tar.gz      	Dec 28 00:54:55 1999     14654  Fork Bomb Defuser is an easily loadable kernel module for Linux which detects, logs, and disables "fork bombs". It allows you to configure max_forks_per_second and max_tasks_per_user parameters at module load time. Any possible fork bomb that attempts to spawn a huge number of processes simultaneously is detected in real time, and the fork bomb is disabled.  Changes: A major bug which was causing the module to malfunction has been removed. Rather than being rescheduled, the offending processes are killed whenever the MAX_FORKS_PER_SECOND or MAX_TASKS_PER_USER parameters are exceeded. This change will solve the problem in the previous version.  Homepage here.  By Rohit Singh
