The following module was proposed for inclusion in the Module List:
modid: Net::IMP
DSLIP: bdpOp
description: Inspection and Modication in proxies, IDS...
userid: SULLR (Steffen Ullrich)
chapterid: 5 (Networking_Devices_IPC)
communities:
similar:
rationale:
The module implements an interface for inspecting and modifying
data in an callback drin way. It is targeted at inspecting proxies,
firewalls, IDS etc - no matter if commercial or free. The idea is to
have an easy to use interface to let anybody write plugins to
analyze and modify traffic. Sample implementations of such proxies
are already included in the distribution, to make it easy to start
experimenting. Also there will be an implementation in the
commercial genugate firewall.
IMHO no module like this is currently at CPAN. There is some
overlapping functionality with Net::xAP (last update 1999), which
attempted to implement ICAP, a widely used protocol also for
inspection, but IMHO inferior for anything except small HTTP
requests.
I think the Net::* space fits nicely, because there are lots of
protocols (Net::SMTP..) and also inspection (Net::Inspect, which can
be nicely used together with Net::IMP)
The current state of the module can already be seen at
