ipv6-toolkit-2.0.ebuild

http://www.si6networks.com/tools/ipv6toolkit/

This release includes:
SI6 Networks IPv6 Toolkit v2.0 (Guille)
   * path6: New tool
     Added a fully-IPv6-capable traceroute tool, named path6.

   * script6: New tool
     Added a new tool which incorporates new functionality and also provides
     a shortcut to other existing tools.

   * blackhole6: New tool
     Added a new tool isolates IPv6 blackholes.

   * udp6: New tool
     Added a new tool that can send arbirary UDP/IPv6 packets.

   * All: Fix bug when reading packets
     lipcap "internals" together with select() would cause (at times)
     delays when reading packets.

   * All: Add support for Solaris
     Solaris is now a supported platform.

   * All: Fix bug in next hop determination
     A bug caused, in some scenarios, the tools to fail with "cannot find
     next hop".

   * All: Fix support for loopback interface
     The tools failed to set the "virtual" "Ether Proto" for packets sent
     on the loopback interface, and hence they were discarded.

   * All: Add support for domain names
     All tools now support domain names in their "-d" options.

   * addr6: Fix bug in address scope filtering
     A bug caused address scope filters to behave incorrectly.

   * addr6: Fix error in manual page
     Some of the long-option names were incorrect.

   * scan6: Fixes bug in address range computation
     Prefixes that were not multiple of 16 resulted in bogus address ranges.

   * scan6: Add support for port scanning
     scan6 now implements several techniques for TCP and UDP port scanning.

   * scan6: Add support for heuristic host scanning
     scan6 can now automatically infer the IID type of a target and reduce
     the search space accordingly (just "-d example.com/64" or 
     "-d IPV6ADDRESS/64".

   * tcp6: Add TCP probe mode
     Probe mode allows you to employ tcp6 for simple probing (e.g.,
     port scanning)

   * tcp6: Add "--open-mode" and "--close-mode" options
     These two options allow you to cause a TCP connection at a remote
     node to transition to any specific state (and hene perform e.g.,
     FIN-WAIT-2 floods)

   * tcp6: Add "--data" option
     This options allows to set a specific TCP payload from the
     command-line (e.g., an HTTP "GET" command).

   * script6: Fix bug in get-aaaa, get-ns, and get-mx
     Domains that had a CNAME would be skipped.

   * frag6: Fix bug in Frag ID assessment
     Probes are now sent every 10ms rather than in batches, to minimize packet
     reordering.

SI6 Networks IPv6 Toolkit v1.5.2

   * All: Add support for GNU Debian/kfreebsd
     The toolkit would not build on GNU Debian/kfreebsd before this release.

   * tcp6: Add support for TCP/IPv6 probes
     tcp6 can now send TCP/IPv6 packets ("--probe-mode" option), and read the 
     TCP response packets, if any. This can be leveraged for port scans, and
     miscellaneous measurements.

SI6 Networks IPv6 Toolkit v1.5.1
   * Fix Mac OS breakage
     libipv6.h had incorrect definitions for "struct tcp_hdr".

SI6 Networks IPv6 Toolkit v1.5

   * All: Improved the next-hop determination
     Since the toolkit employs libpcap (as there is no portable way to forge
     IPv6 addresses and do other tricks), it was relying on the user specifying
     a network interface ("-i" was mandatory for all tools) and that routers
     would send Router Advertisements on the local links. This not only was 
     rather inconvenient for users (specifying a network interface was not 
     warranted), but also meant that in setups where RAs where not available
     (e.g., manual configuration), the tools would fail. The toolkit now
     employs routing sockets (in BSDs) or Netlink (in Linux), and only uses
     "sending RAs" as a fall-back in case of failure (IPv6 not configured on
     the local host).

   * All: Improved source address selection
     This is closely related to the previous bullet.

   * All: More code moved to libipv6
     More and more code was moved to libipv6 and removed to the individual tool
     source files. As with some of the above, this was painful and
     time-consuming, but was necessary -- and in the long run it will make
     code maintenance easier.

   * All: libipv6 used throughout all tools
     This was rather painful and non-exciting, but necessary.

I've added the ebuild to our overlay, feel free to use it.

Comment 3 dwfreed 2016-10-03 02:24:42 UTC
2 issues:

* All file I/O in ebuilds must have an `|| die` to protect against failure.  This will point out that your rmdir fails (which is actually a good thing) because of the service-names-port-numbers.csv file in it.

* You're missing a blank line after the end of the src_install phase. (I just noticed 1.4.1 has the same problem)

Of note, you probably don't have to worry about parameterizing the service-names-port-numbers.csv filename, because no other package is likely to provide that file.  oui.txt was probably done because hwids already provides it, and iirc hwids is commonly installed on gentoo systems (pulled in by udev, i think).

As I said, we have a more decent ebuild. No, I'm not attaching it here every month. Grab it when you are ready to bump it.
Comment 5 Rick Farina (Zero_Chaos) gentoo-dev 2016-10-06 03:25:15 UTC
I ported the ebuild over from pentoo with a lot of bug fixing.

If you have any complaints please open a new bug, but I did take great care to leave notes in the 1.4.1 ebuild and the 2.0 ebuild to show what I changed and why.

Thanks!
