Package: wnpp Version: N/A; reported 2002-03-17 Severity: wishlist * Package name : mnwclient Version : 1.11 Upstream Author : Chad Wagner <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> * URL : http://www.mynetwatchman.com/ * License : GPL Description : Client for reporting network abuse to MyNetWatchman.com
MyNetWatchman is a service that collects information about network abuse. Incidents are sorted by source IP, and when enough attacks on several targets from one IP have been reported, the ISP responsible for that IP is notified via e-mail. This is the client that collects data on your firewall and forwards it to mynetwatchman.com. Notes to potential packagers: The daemon is a Perl script. It may require either some porting or an older version of Perl (than 5.6 which is currently in Testing). The SysV init script included is Redhat specific as well and will need porting or re-writing. A man page is included. Due to some kind of Perl problems, I have not been able to get it running; it crashes with Perl giving me an error that I could probably understand if I knew any Perl :-(. The daemon is GPL, and the service is "free for individual use". To be able to use it you must first register at "http://www.mynetwatchman.com/myNetwatchman/register.asp";. Thus, the Debian package should possibly go into contrib. -- System Information Debian Release: 3.0 Architecture: i386 Kernel: Linux foo 2.4.17 #1 sön feb 10 09:40:14 CET 2002 i686 Locale: LANG=sv_SE.ISO8859-1, LC_CTYPE=sv_SE.ISO8859-1
