1 Here's a list of things we need to do (contributions are welcome and highly
2 appreciated, please also read Documentation/SubmittingPatches about how to
3 submit your contributions, items marked with '!' are of high importance):
5 0! Improve manpages, extend the documentation and/or write useful howtos.
6 @TODO: Jon Schipp, Daniel Borkmann
8 1! Highest prio: Cleanup and refactor the code!
11 2! Add one-liner in INSTALL for package dependency installation on Fedora,
13 @TODO: Daniel Borkmann
15 3! Test IPv6 on flowtop, curvetun and mausezahn.
16 @TODO: Daniel Borkmann, Jon Schipp
18 4! trafgen: for send() add ping-probe support so that we can do fuzz
19 testing and check if the machine is still online.
20 @TODO: Daniel Borkmann
22 5! Make: add option for autodetect hw timestamping, or comment it out
23 @TODO: Daniel Borkmann
25 10! Add a proper 802.11 dissector for netsniff-ng.
28 13! Easier language (bpf-hla) for /fast/ filtering (e.g. on top of BPF so
29 that it can run in the kernel), include this into bpfc (bpfc-hla).
30 @TODO: Daniel Borkmann, Markus Amend
32 22! Add different timing models to trafgen, not just a static interpacket gap.
33 @TODO: Daniel Borkmann
35 48! Hand-include patchset from Sibir Chakraborty:
36 - Replay all files from directory (dir as --in paramter)
37 - Replay with correct timing information
38 - Replay with Gbps / pps rate limit
39 @TODO: Daniel Borkmann
41 49! Add Gbps / pps rate limit to trafgen
42 @TODO: Daniel Borkmann
44 32! ifpps: add option for --dev eth0,eth1,eth2 and accumulate stats
45 @TODO: Daniel Borkmann
47 33! ifpps: calc current throughput, show percentage of linerate
48 @TODO: Daniel Borkmann
50 50! mausezahn: clean it up add fork + fanout mode(?), remove libpcap
51 dependency, let it also store pcap files e.g. on a network filesystem
53 @TODO: Daniel Borkmann
55 51! astraceroute: can we remove whois query and do this locally?
56 @TODO: Daniel Borkmann
58 52! all tools, but ifpps/bpfc: add option to run a tool as -u user -g group
59 resp. --user user --group group so that we can drop to non-root if this
60 option is set and the tool was started as root.
61 @TODO: Daniel Borkmann
65 5) Make trafgen also write to a pcap instead to a device.
67 6) Let netsniff-ng and trafgen support pcap and pcap-ng!
69 12) Add new dissectors (e.g. BGP, DNS, DCCP, SCTP, RSVP, IPsec, LISP, RADIUS,
70 LLC, fix MPLS?, improve ARP, BPDU, PVST, CDP, LLDP, RTP, Syslog, NTP,
71 OpenFlow, ...), add new protocols to mausezahn.
73 16) Further micro-optimize netsniff-ng, trafgen, mausezahn's performance. Use
74 Oprofile for optimize tools!
76 17) Security review of curvetun.
78 21) Obfuscate curvetun's protocol to make it hard/resource-intensive for DPIs.
80 31) astraceroute: implement DNS traceroute with AS/Geo information
82 34) Are there other interesting (e.g. ethtool) stats for ifpps?
84 46) QoS for curvetun --> since tundev is qdiscless
86 47) Add geo-ip information to netsniff-ng output?
