Hi-Performance Protocol Identification Engine |
|
Welcome to HiPPIEThank you for visiting the home of the Hi-Performance Protocol Identification Engine (a.k.a. HiPPIE). HiPPIE is an extension to the Linux kernel with the purpose of providing real-time network protocol classification upon a packet stream, whether fed live from a running network interface, or from another source. To find out more about this capability, please check out the About HiPPIE page linked at left. There are far too many features of HiPPIE to get into here, but a fairly extensive list of the big ones is available on our Features page. To find a list of supported protocols, you can also look at our Protocol documentation. Thanks again for visiting, and check out the latest project news below! It's been a while since I've had a chance to do any work on HiPPIE, but I happen to have a down evening tonight to relax, and after playing with the dog and watching some football, I remembered a feature request that had come in this past week for HiPPIE, and I figured it wouldn't be too hard to handle, so I thought I'd try to make it happen. As it turns out, it wasn't hard at all, and in the process I was able to bring HiPPIE up to date with the latest kernel, 2.6.27.8. Everything in this new version should patch up just fine against the latest kernels. The new version is available from the download page. Posted in HiPPIE Code by BalDown on 2008-12-07 03:24:39 GMT Well, if you're reading this, hopefully you are already seeing the difference, but just a little bit ago I deployed an all new layout for the HiPPIE website, including an all new HiPPIE logo. I got some comments from friends about not liking the last one, and so I took some time and whipped this little bad boy up, and put him into a much cleaner feeling site. It's at least looks a little bit less like it was designed by a kindergardener. I hope you enjoy the new layout, and the new logo, and I would love your comments sent to me at the e-mail address on the bottom of the page. Thanks! Posted in News by BalDown on 2008-07-17 23:03:52 GMT Well, I said it would be this week, and sure enough there it is. HiPPIE 0.9.1 is available. It's been put up on SourceForge and is available at the download page. There are 2 main things that are changed with this version of HiPPIE. First of all, HiPPIE will now patch against Linux kernel 2.6.24 and newer. Even better however, is the second feature. HiPPIE can now process packets both inbound and outbound from a system. By setting a different value in the interfaces proc, you can enable a system to process packets in both directions. This work, now done, actually makes HiPPIE usable by people with desktop systems who are curious about their protocol uses. To read more about this, check out the proc documentation. Hopefully this will help some folks out, so check it out, and let me know! Posted in HiPPIE Code by BalDown on 2008-07-12 21:49:09 GMT Great news! I've done some work this last week on HiPPIE 0.9.1, and am pretty ready to release it, though I might do a little more bug fixing (hopefully) beforehand. Even better news, I've added a very sweet new feature that I've been hoping to for a long time. HiPPIE now has the ability to do bi-directional packet reading from network interfaces as of the coming 0.9.1. Top this off with the fact that I've fixed HiPPIE to now compile on 2.6.24 and newer as well, and there are some exciting new additions to HiPPIE. Hopefully soon I can get some time to explore more stability issues and get HiPPIE even better. Stay tuned. Posted in HiPPIE Code by BalDown on 2008-07-04 21:40:13 GMT Well, it's been some time since I posted anything, but there's a good reason for that. First of all, shortly before the last post, I started a new job, which has been awesome. As if that wasn't enough life change, I just moved to a new city in the first part of May. And last, but actually best, I just got married at the end of May. So, as you can probably guess, I've not had a lot of time to be doing any coding on HiPPIE. But the good news for HiPPIE (not as much for me) is that my wonderful new wife has some obligations the next couple nights, so I intend to try and get some HiPPIE work done. Sorry to keep you hanging as I still try to resolve some issues with HiPPIE, but I'll do what I can as soon as possible. Thanks! Posted in News by BalDown on 2008-06-25 23:42:34 GMT |
