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 3! Test IPv6 on flowtop, curvetun and mausezahn.
12 @TODO: Daniel Borkmann, Jon Schipp
14 10! Add a proper 802.11 dissector for netsniff-ng.
17 13! Easier language (bpf-hla) for /fast/ filtering (e.g. on top of BPF so
18 that it can run in the kernel), include this into bpfc (bpfc-hla).
19 @TODO: Daniel Borkmann, Markus Amend
21 22! Add different timing models to trafgen, not just a static interpacket gap.
22 @TODO: Daniel Borkmann
24 48! Hand-include patchset from Sibir Chakraborty:
25 - Replay all files from directory (dir as --in paramter)
26 - Replay with correct timing information
27 - Replay with Gbps / pps rate limit
28 @TODO: Daniel Borkmann
30 49! Add Gbps / pps rate limit to trafgen
31 @TODO: Daniel Borkmann
33 32! ifpps: add option for --dev eth0,eth1,eth2 and accumulate stats
34 @TODO: Daniel Borkmann
36 50! mausezahn: clean it up add fork + fanout mode(?), remove libpcap
37 dependency, let it also store pcap files e.g. on a network filesystem
39 @TODO: Daniel Borkmann
41 51! astraceroute: can we remove whois query and do this locally?
42 @TODO: Daniel Borkmann
44 52! all tools, but ifpps/bpfc: add option to run a tool as -u user -g group
45 resp. --user user --group group so that we can drop to non-root if this
46 option is set and the tool was started as root.
47 @TODO: Daniel Borkmann
51 5) Make trafgen also write to a pcap instead to a device.
53 6) Let netsniff-ng and trafgen support pcap and pcap-ng!
55 12) Add new dissectors (e.g. BGP, DNS, DCCP, SCTP, RSVP, IPsec, LISP, RADIUS,
56 LLC, fix MPLS?, improve ARP, BPDU, PVST, CDP, LLDP, RTP, Syslog, NTP,
57 OpenFlow, ...), add new protocols to mausezahn.
59 16) Further micro-optimize netsniff-ng, trafgen, mausezahn's performance. Use
60 Oprofile for optimize tools!
62 17) Security review of curvetun.
64 21) Obfuscate curvetun's protocol to make it hard/resource-intensive for DPIs.
66 31) astraceroute: implement DNS traceroute with AS/Geo information
68 34) Are there other interesting (e.g. ethtool) stats for ifpps?
70 46) QoS for curvetun --> since tundev is qdiscless
72 47) Add geo-ip information to netsniff-ng output?
