Packages wishlist?
-
How about a x64 version and a VMWare package?? Seriously, what better to run on a firewall then a VM?? You could install a Host OS on a protected OS.
Until VMWare actually runs on FreeBSD, there's zero chance of it becoming a package. An amd64 port is in the works, but for fairly obvious reasons also won't be a package :)

wanted:
OSSEC HIDS package for pfSense !

Re: the question about docs -
If you can provide some better docs and how-to for the XML/GUI portion of the packaging, I will probably be able to provide a dnscache package. I want it, and there seem to be other people who want it; IMHO a fast caching resolver is a big win for a network with slower upstream connectivity, and it goes great with squid too. (It would be nice to implement it with an option for forward-only vs. full caching recursive resolver.)
I've done a lot of FreeBSD work, including building a near-appliance system of packages for a spam filtering system. I have a home FreeBSD system to develop on (at 6.4 currently) and the dnscache binary package should be easy; I've built lots of packages before, and that might even be available for 7.1 from the FreeBSD package repository.
It's just understanding what's involved in hooking it in that's an issue for me - how to map setting up the configuration, forwarders/root servers, etc. into the pfSense menus, and whether there's actual PHP code to write or not.

PF SENSE as a Dynamic DNS server
can something like this be implemented

What about Dans Guardian???

Hi
A preprocessor for Snort that block the packets that matches the rules before they ever reach the target, and make the Snort implementation a true IPS would be nice. -
DenyHosts. I was able to install it with the pkg_add command, so it shouldn't be that hard right.
I would love to help if someone can tell me what I need to do to get this package made, maybe and example. -
A USER TRACE MODULE!!
Kind of simple, i think : a module which when activated, logs everything regarding a certain authenticated user, from captive portal for instance. You go on the GUI, then type in the name of the user and here it goes, it displays you all the websites the user went to, and when he logged in etc…
Doing the same with pfsense requieres to log systems to a syslog, and to transfert squid logs files to a server, and you have to check each file to find what you're looking for. This module could be really usefull, and totally push to garbage products like zyxel G4100 or Ucopia boxes...
-
snort is already there use pfSense 1.2.3 RC1 and then look under packages.
-
TOS/DSCP set and reset (or TOS/DSCP remarking)

I would like to see a package that analyzes all traffic and organizes it in the same way that lightsquid does it. NTOP is the only package that comes close, but I found it unstable and the information is scattered.
For example each day you get a list of all your host ip addresses and underneath it will have all the sorted protocols used by that ip address and the ip addresses that it connected to.

How about the R-U-ON server monitoring agent (http://www.r-u-on.com)?

SS5 is a socks server that implements the SOCKS v4 and v5 protocol.

http://update-accelerator.advproxy.net/
This looks fantastic and would be an awesome add-on for saving bandwidth. It caches updates from:
* Adobe
* Apple
* Avast
* Linux (.deb and .rpm)
* Microsoft
* Symantec
* Trend Micro
and you can add custom download sites too.It's been written specifically for IPCop - so I have no idea how hard it would be to "port".
From the Site:
The Update Accelerator caches files from update sites automatically at the first request. All subsequent downloads of these files from other clients will be processed with LAN speed.Even though the standard Web Proxy cache does almost the same job, there are important differences between the Web Proxy cache and the Update Accelerator cache.
For example, it would be difficult to store, reliably, a Service Pack with a size of about 300MB in the Web Proxy cache. Unlike a Web Proxy with its internal cache and uncontrollable results, the Update Accelerator works rather in a similar way to a File Server - dead reliable and independent of any Proxy cache size or replacement strategy.

With the right settings, Squid will happily cache updates, including service packs, as long as you have the proper directives in the config.
I have it caching updates for my repair bench and it does a great job. It does the adobe updates without any special config, too.

Hi I'm using nagios & nrpe a lot, so many thanks for added nrpe package!
..but it would be great to change/add a few things:
-
I need be able to add some custom commands to nrpe.cfg via GUI, at this moment I have to manually place them in /usr/local/pkg/nrpe2.xml
(not sure if it is possible to do in other way at this moment) -
would be great include test for "warning" and "critical" command parameters in /usr/local/pkg/nrpe2.inc . At this moment after configuration via GUI I have in nrpe.cfg :
command[check_myhost_ssh]=/usr/local/libexec/nagios/check_ssh -w -c -t 20 -H my.host.net
and as a result:
/usr/lib/nagios/plugins/check_nrpe -n -H 192.168.55.11 -p 5666 -c check_myhost_ssh
Usage:check_ssh [-46] [-t <timeout>] [-r <remote version="">] [-p <port>] <host>I think something like next would be good:
diff /usr/local/pkg/nrpe2.inc.orig /usr/local/pkg/nrpe2.inc
147c147,151
< $cmds[] = "command[{$cmd['name']}]=/usr/local/libexec/nagios/{$cmd['command']} -w {$cmd['warning']} -c {$cmd['critical']} {$cmd['extra']}\n";
–-if (isset($cmd['warning'])) {
$cmds[] = "command[{$cmd['name']}]=/usr/local/libexec/nagios/{$cmd['command']} -w {$cmd['warning']} -c {$cmd['critical']} {$cmd['extra']}\n";
} else {
$cmds[] = "command[{$cmd['name']}]=/usr/local/libexec/nagios/{$cmd['command']} {$cmd['extra']}\n";
}
188c192- also there is still a bug in the nagios-plugins-1.4.13,1 which would be great resolve :
/usr/local/libexec/nagios/check_procs -w 5 -c 10 -s Z
/libexec/ld-elf.so.1: /lib/libc.so.7: version FBSD_1.1 required by /usr/local/libexec/nagios/check_procs not found (and this is a bit annoying …)
(this is the only plugin which requires FBSD_1.1, all other are ok with FBSD_1.0)
Many thanks in advance</host></port></remote></timeout>

Dansguardian! If Comixwall (an OpenBSD based firewall) was able to use this I see no reason why pfSense can't . IMSpector for SMTP to monitor rogue employees leaking out confidential information would be a welcome addition.
-
DNS Blacklist package, OpenDNS and SquidGuard can all block domains like DANS guardian can.
