Package: wnpp Severity: normal The current maintainer of tcpreplay, Raphael Bossek <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, is apparently not active anymore[*]. Therefore, I orphan this package now. If you want to be the new maintainer, please take it -- retitle this bug from 'O:' to 'ITA:', fix the outstanding bugs and upload a new version with your name in the Maintainer: field and a
* New maintainer (Closes: #thisbug) in the changelog so this bug is closed. Some information about this package: Package: tcpreplay Priority: optional Section: net Installed-Size: 49 Maintainer: Raphael Bossek <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Architecture: i386 Version: 1.0.1-1 Depends: libc6 (>= 2.1.2), libpcap0 (>= 0.4-1) Filename: pool/main/t/tcpreplay/tcpreplay_1.0.1-1_i386.deb Size: 10964 MD5sum: 6b8ae57038de4c80becde5d91cbea2cd Description: Tool to replay saved tcpdump files at arbitrary speeds Tcpreplay is aimed at testing the performance of a NIDS by replaying real background network traffic in which to hide attacks. Tcpreplay allows you to control the speed at which the traffic is replayed, and can replay arbitrary tcpdump traces. Unlike programmatically-generated artificial traffic which doesn't exercise the application/protocol inspection that a NIDS performs, and doesn't reproduce the real-world anomalies that appear on production networks (asymmetric routes, traffic bursts/lulls, fragmentation, retransmissions, etc.), tcpreplay allows for exact replication of real traffic seen on real networks. . For more information visit the tcpreplay web site http://www.anzen.com/research/nidsbench/ . [*] Justification: the maintainer currently has 17 open RC bugs (not counting those fixed in NMUs). Several NMUs were done, at least two packages (pwlib, usbview) have already been hihacked, the maintainer does not respond to mails. -- Martin Michlmayr [EMAIL PROTECTED]
