    Performance Testing Suricata The Effect of Configuration Variables On Offline Suricata Performance A Project Completed for CS 6266 Under Jonathon T. Giffin, Assistant Professor, Georgia Institute of Technology by Winston H Messer Project Advisor: Matt Jonkman, President, Open Information Security Foundation December 2011 Messer ii Abstract The Suricata IDS/IPS engine, a viable alternative to Snort, has a multitude of potential configurations. A simplified automated testing system was devised for the purpose of performance testing Suricata in an offline environment. Of the available configuration variables, seventeen were analyzed independently by testing in fifty-six configurations. Of these, three variables were found to have a statistically significant effect on performance: Detect Engine Profile, Multi Pattern Algorithm, and CPU affinity. Acknowledgements In writing the final report on this endeavor, I would like to start by thanking four people who made this project possible: Matt Jonkman, President, Open Information Security Foundation: For allowing me the opportunity to carry out this project under his supervision. Victor Julien, Lead Programmer, Open Information Security Foundation and Anne-Fleur Koolstra, Documentation Specialist, Open Information Security Foundation: For their willingness to share their wisdom and experience of Suricata via email for the past four months. John M. Weathersby, Jr., Executive Director, Open Source Software Institute: For allowing me the use of Institute equipment for the creation of a suitable testing

    GNU Wget 1.10 The non-interactive download utility Updated for Wget 1.10, Apr 2005 by Hrvoje Nikˇsi´cand the developers Copyright c 1996–2005, Free Software Foundation, Inc. Permission is granted to copy, distribute and/or modify this document under the terms of the GNU Free Documentation License, Version 1.2 or any later version published by the Free Software Foundation; with the Invariant Sections being “GNU General Public License” and “GNU Free Documentation License”, with no Front-Cover Texts, and with no Back-Cover Texts. A copy of the license is included in the section entitled “GNU Free Documentation License”. Chapter 1: Overview 1 1 Overview GNU Wget is a free utility for non-interactive download of files from the Web. It supports http, https, and ftp protocols, as well as retrieval through http proxies. This chapter is a partial overview of Wget’s features. • Wget is non-interactive, meaning that it can work in the background, while the user is not logged on. This allows you to start a retrieval and disconnect from the system, letting Wget finish the work. By contrast, most of the Web browsers require constant user’s presence, which can be a great hindrance when transferring a lot of data. • Wget can follow links in html and xhtml pages and create local versions of remote web sites, fully recreating the directory structure of the original site. This is sometimes referred to as “recursive downloading.” While doing that, Wget respects the Robot Exclusion Standard (‘/robots.txt’). Wget can be instructed to convert the links in downloaded html files to the local files for offline viewing.

  • Replacing PGP 2.X with Gnupg
    Replacing PGP 2.x with GnuPG This article is based on an earlier PGP 2.x/GnuPG compatability guide (http://www.toehold.com/~kyle/pgp- compat.html) written by Kyle Hasselbacher (<[email protected]>). Mike Ashley (<[email protected]>) edited and expanded it. Michael Fischer v. Mollard (<[email protected]>) transformed the HTML source to Doc- Book SGML and also expanded it further. Some of the details described here came from the gnupg-devel and gnupg-user mailing lists. The workaround for both signing with and encrypting to an RSA key were taken from Gero Treuner’s compatability script (http://muppet.faveve.uni-stuttgart.de/~gero/gpg-2comp/changes.html). Please direct questions, bug reports, or suggesstions to the maintainer, Mike Ashley. Permission is granted to copy, distribute and/or modify this document under the terms of the GNU Free Documentation License, Version 1.1 or any later version published by the Free Software Foundation; with no Invariant Sections, no Front-Cover Texts, and no Back-Cover Texts. A copy of the license is included in the section entitled "GNU Free Documentation License". Introduction This document describes how to communicate with people still using old versions of PGP 2.x GnuPG can be used as a nearly complete replacement for PGP 2.x. You may encrypt and decrypt PGP 2.x messages using imported old keys, but you cannot generate PGP 2.x keys. This document demonstrates how to extend the standard distribution of GnuPG to support PGP 2.x keys as well as what options must be used to ensure inter- operation with PGP 2.x users.

  • This Book Doesn't Tell You How to Write Faster Code, Or How to Write Code with Fewer Memory Leaks, Or Even How to Debug Code at All
    Practical Development Environments By Matthew B. Doar ............................................... Publisher: O'Reilly Pub Date: September 2005 ISBN: 0-596-00796-5 Pages: 328 Table of Contents | Index This book doesn't tell you how to write faster code, or how to write code with fewer memory leaks, or even how to debug code at all. What it does tell you is how to build your product in better ways, how to keep track of the code that you write, and how to track the bugs in your code. Plus some more things you'll wish you had known before starting a project. Practical Development Environments is a guide, a collection of advice about real development environments for small to medium-sized projects and groups. Each of the chapters considers a different kind of tool - tools for tracking versions of files, build tools, testing tools, bug-tracking tools, tools for creating documentation, and tools for creating packaged releases. Each chapter discusses what you should look for in that kind of tool and what to avoid, and also describes some good ideas, bad ideas, and annoying experiences for each area. Specific instances of each type of tool are described in enough detail so that you can decide which ones you want to investigate further. Developers want to write code, not maintain makefiles. Writers want to write content instead of manage templates. IT provides machines, but doesn't have time to maintain all the different tools. Managers want the product to move smoothly from development to release, and are interested in tools to help this happen more often.
