Software Tools

Version of Secure Shell (SSH) source code from http://www.openssh.org/ modified to facilitate secure use of SSH across gateway machines. These changes to SSH are introduced in “Inoculating SSH Against Address Harvesting Worms,” by Stuart Schechter, Jaeyeon Jung, Will Stockwell, and Cynthia McLain, presented at The Internet Society (ISOC) Network and Distributed System Security Symposium (NDSS’06), 2006.

Machine Learning

LNKnet Pattern Classification Software

LNKnet, developed at MIT Lincoln Laboratory, integrates more than 22 neural network, statistical, and machine learning classification, clustering, and feature selection algorithms into a modular software package. Recently, support vector machines and naive Bayesian Classifiers have been added and a version of LNKnet has been developed that runs under the Microsoft Windows operating system using the Cygwin environment.



Tcpdump File Replay Utility

NetPoke is a utility used to replay packets to a live network that were previously captured with the tcpdump program. It attempts to match the timing of the original traffic, optionally speeding it up or slowing it down, and can also modify the network hardware address in the replayed traffic. NetPoke supports multiple network interfaces allowing replayed packets to be injected into different points on a network based on the source address. NetPoke is no longer being supported by MIT Lincoln Laboratory. Those looking for similar functionality might search for tcpreplay and other tools that provide similar functionality.
