Switzerland 0.1
Free and open source tool for testing networks more>> Free and open source tool for testing networks
Switzerland is a tool for testing networks, ISPs and firewalls developed by the Electronic Frontier Foundation (www.eff.org).
Switzerland will spot IP packets which are forged or modified between clients, inform you, and give you copies of the modified packets.
Enhancements
Lots of bugfixes and some new features:
- Make the messages that Switzerland gives users less cryptic and more informative! Especially
- Improve on the notification of modified/forged packets in versions 0.0.x. In the case of modifications, provide specific reports of which packet fields have been modified, from what and to what. In the case of injections/forgeries, provide tcpdump-style representations of the packets.
- Include a new command line tool, study-switzerland-pcaps, to perform the above analysis based on the -in and -out pcap modification/forgery logs produced by Switzerland. This will be useful both for old logfiles from 0.0.7 and for newly created logs.
- Reduce the incidence and duration of the "you cant connect, because we already have a connection from your IP" problem.
- Fix several internal bugs in the server, which 0.0.7 "handled" by catching exceptions and trying to ignore them.
- When modified/forged packets are observed, dont tell other parties what your NIC and routers MAC addresses are
Internal improvements and adjustments:
Refactor things out of Switzerland.py:
- Matchmaking is now separated and easier to understand
- Forgery context operations are now part of SwitzerlandLink.py
- There are some minor but incompatible changes to the wire protocol, in which reports on forgeries are passed around with the fo-context and forged-details messages.
- We have some traceroute collection infrastructure now, although were not using it yet
