PacketFence provides for the following: Passive or in-line operation Network registration Worm/Bot detection/isolation User-directed mitigation Proactive vulnerability scans (Lance - for you)
I can certainly use this at where I work, but unfortunately I have other priorities I have to take care of first. If I get around to it I'll let you know, but anyone is free to try and make it! Cheers
Created attachment 51788 [details] packetfench-1.4.3.ebuild Very rough draft for the ebuild (non-working). Looks like we're going to have to add a few perl modules into portage on this. I already pinged mcummings about that. I need to get back to my real work, so it'll have to wait.
Still interest in this one?
seems no interest left
(In reply to comment #4) > seems no interest left > Definitely some interest. I've got a friend who runs 50-100 person LAN Parties who'd like easier/more centralized control over the network. My (OS Friendly) company is looking into implementing something like this for troublesome clients with users that like to "enhance" their networks.
someone please reopen this request, It would be great to have a working ebuild, Im ready to implement this NAC at our hospital, would rather do it Gentoo/src than the vmware image. packetfence has come a long way. There are still some perl packages that will need to be added to portage as well.
interest exists
Definitely interest still exists. PacketFence is 3.5.1 now. ------SNIP--------- The latest version of PacketFence is 3.5.1, which has been released on 2012-09-05. This version is considered stable and can be used in production environments. ------SNIP--------- I know it might be to early to note this....
