History
-------
Version 0.9
-----------
ADDED: More services to internal service table.
ADDED: UDP support to traceroutes.
ADDED: UDP Pings.
ADDED: Traceroute now reports both hostnames & IPs if the 'DNS Lookup' option
is selected.
ADDED: Traceroute now reports in greater detail why the remote host could not
be contacted.
ADDED: Ping now calculates packet loss, both as a percentage and the raw number
of lost packets.
ADDED: Ping now reports the time taken to receive a reply.
ADDED: Hungarian locale. (Thanks to Marton Dosa).
FIXED: Traceroute is now SIGNIFICANTLY faster. Really stupid bug where a
'while' loop and been used when a simple 'if' would have sufficed.
FIXED: Traceroute did not report when hosts along the path failed to respond
FIXED: Slight bug in localisation code. An entry in the cycle gadget was using
the wrong variable on the service lookup window. (Thanks to Marton Dosa)
FIXED: Fixed a few potential memory leaks.
OPTIMISED: TCP and IP datagram checksumming.
CHANGED: Altered layout of ping display to accomodate more fields.
Version 0.8
-----------
-ADDED: Localisation support!
-ADDED: Traceroute Facility using ICMP echo requests
-ADDED: Configurable Max Hops for traceroute
-ADDED: Optional DNS lookup for traceroute
-ADDED: Ping Sweep Facility, both incremental and decremental sweeps
-ADDED: Optional DNS lookup for Ping Sweep
-ADDED: Optional non-echo ICMP message reporting for Ping Sweep
-ADDED: Ability to specify number of addresses to sweep.
-ADDED: More services to internal service table.
-ADDED: "Write to Log" button. Dumps the contents of the listview to the logfile
-FIXED: The ping facility didn't discard ICMP message intended for other applications
-FIXED: Harmless bug where the ping facility would send one more ping than
specified (Thanks to Todd Oberly).
-FIXED: Harmless bug in port parsing routine. This happened when a range was
specified with both values above 9999. For example 10000-11000 would get parsed
as 10000-1100 because the parsing buffer was one character too small.
-FIXED: Insignificant bug with two buttons showing the wrong bubble help.
(Thanks to Marc Bradshaw)
-FIXED: Cleaned up the logfile output a bit - such as missing
carriage returns. (Thanks to Todd Oberly)
-FIXED: Stupid bit of legacy code which meant you couldn't select
a file for saving the log to, directly from the file
requester. (Thanks to Todd Oberly)
-CHANGED: Massive rework of the interface - again. Mainly because of the new
things which have been added.
-CHANGED: The helper window now has a close gadget (Thanks to Todd Oberly)
-CHANGED: Moved the "Mui Settings" and "Preferences" menu items to a new menu
called "Settings" (Thanks to David Rey)
-CHANGED: The bookmark window now closes automatically when you double click on an entry
(Thanks to Todd Oberly)
-CHANGED: Moved cycle-chain code from deprecated MUI V2 style to MUI V3.
-OPTIMISED: Optimised core routines saving 340 bytes, increasing scan speeds
(probably only noticeable on 68000 or 020).
-OPTIMISED: Optimised port scanning routine. Needs 16 - 24 bytes less memory per port
saving up to 1.3MB!!! on a full 1-65535 port scan. I was allocating a new
sockaddr structurecd per port, when the same one can be re-used.
Version 0.7
-----------
-ADDED: Ping Facility including broadcast support.
-ADDED: Added ping preference option
-ADDED: Resolve Facility. This replaces the "Resolve Window" for a cleaner
interface to the program. Note: If you use AREXX make sure you
re-read the window related AREXX functions.
-ADDED: Resolving now supports reverse lookups and also lists *all* IPs the host
is known by, not just the official one
-ADDED: TCP/IP Stack Service Table support. You can now use the service table
provided by your TCP/IP stack, instead of Go Portscan's internal lookup
table. This means you can customise your entries.
-ADDED: Preference option to choose between internal lookup table, or TCP/IP
stack service table.
-ADDED: Installer script
-ADDED: Choice of icon sets (Thanks also to Luca Longone)
-ADDED: A bit of eye candy - a Go Portscan! logo.
-ADDED: Custom App Icon support
-ADDED: TCP scans now attempt to report if the remote machine is offline or
running a firewall. In cases such as these, it has the effect of causing
the interface to be "locked" for about 30 secs until the connect() call
times out. Go Portscan! has *NOT* crashed, it is just an annoying side
effect of using blocking I/O
-ADDED: Two new AREXX commands
-FIXED: Minor bug in logfile routine. New UDP scans would be written as new TCP
scans.
-FIXED: Potentially nasty bug where under rare conditions, aborting a udp scan
could cause it to be illegally thrown into the end of the tcp scan
routine
-FIXED: Not all of the helper fields on the preferences window were in the TAB
cycle chain. This has now been fixed :)
-FIXED: Previously, if you had added entries to the bookmarks list, then quit Go
Portscan! while the window was open, your bookmarks would not have been
saved. This should now be fixed.
-FIXED: I thought I'd fixed this for good in 0.6 but still under some
circumstances your bookmarks would get corrupted. I really hope I've
fixed this now :-)
-OPTIMISED: Completely re-written the error handling routines to use exceptions.
This makes the source code much cleaner and it should handle low memory
situations much better.
-CHANGED: Go Portscan! now requires your TCP/IP stackto be running before it
starts up. This tidies thing up a bit.
Version 0.6
-----------
-ADDED: UDP scanning. The UDP scanning code is somewhat experimental because of
UDP being an unreliable protocol and is liable to significant changes.
Please tell me how well it does/doesn't work for you.
-ADDED: AREXX support!! 20 commands added
-ADDED: One AREXX script
-ADDED: Scantype option to perform (TCP Only, UDP Only, TCP then UDP, UDP then
TCP)
-ADDED: A few changes to how the GUI works, these are barely noticeable but tidy
things up a bit more.
-ADDED: There are now two binary versions. One for 68000 based machines (and
above) and a version with slight optimisations for 68020 based machines
and above.
-FIXED: Previously a harmless bug existed in the parsing of the ports to scan
routine which could make Go Portscan! scan port 0 several times at the
end of a scan. The parsing routine has now been completely rewritten
differently and should solve this. It should also use slightly less
memory :)
-FIXED: Memory leak which sometimes caused enforcer hits when performing serveral
scans. This 'appears' to be sorted.
-FIXED: A nasty bug concerning bookmarks which could end up screwing up your
bookmarks, deleting them altogether or causing enforcer hits.
-OPTIMISED: Several routines which handle the MUI interface have been optimised
reducing source code size.
-OPTIMISED: Routines to handle the logfile have been altered, reducing the size
of the source code, although you may notice more Open(), Close()
operations if you run SnoopDOS
Version 0.5.1
-------------
-Quick Fix version. Some dummy code was accidentally left in the program which
tried to open locale.library V44+ even though Go Portscan! does not require it
(yet). The problem did not effect users of OS3.5 and OS3.9. Thanks to all the
users who pointed this one out :)
Version 0.5
-----------
-ADDED: Speed Slider to control the speed of scans.
-ADDED: Resolve Host option. Resolves hostname to IP, official name and any aliases.
-ADDED: the ability to use more helpers instead of just telnet
-ADDED: yet more trojans
-ADDED/FIXED: online help depending on how you look at it :) Pressing HELP on
any Go Portscan! window will open an AmigaGuide file about it. This requires
GoPortscan!.guide to be in the same directory as Go Portscan! (PROGDIR:)
-FIXED: 'locahost' problem. Now says 'localhost' by default
[Thanks to all the people who pointed this one out]
-FIXED: enforcer hit when adding a custom range, just after closing the bookmarks
window. Problem was caused by attempting to close the same file twice.
[Thanks to Todd A. Oberly]
Version 0.4
-----------
-ADDED: More multi-threaded. For example the bookmarks and service lookup window can be
used simultaneously.
-ADDED: busy bar which appears during lengthy operations.
(Requires busy.mcc & busy.mcp)
-ADDED: "Show Trojans" option
-ADDED: "Show Trojans" option to preferences.
-ADDED: file requesters for the log file.
(Requires reqtools.library)
-ADDED: user-definable ranges
-ADDED: more services & trojans.
Version 0.3
-----------
-ADDED: menus - Preferences, Bookmarks
-ADDED: Preferences - Go Portscans! configuration can now be saved
-ADDED: Booksmarks - Bookmark hosts for scanning
-ADDED: Bookmarks are automatically sorted in alphabetical order
-ADDED: Open Bookmarks Button
-ADDED: Massive cosmetic changes to the GUI. Changed the layout of the gadgets from a
left to right layout, to a top-down layout.
-ADDED: Double Clicking in the listview will now automatically telnet to that host on that port
-ADDED 'Default' option to the portrange cycle gadget
-CHANGED: Changed it so that when Wakeup is selected, read ports is automatically
selected. (Wakeup requires read ports to be selected)
-CHANGED: Changed it so that when Read Ports is deselected, wakeup is automatically
deselected.
-ADDED: More services and trojans added
-CHANGED: Changed the way trojans are listed
-ADDED: Minor optimisations of GUI code.
Version 0.2
-----------
-ADDED: menus - About, MUI About, MUI Settings, Service Lookup, Iconify, Quit
-ADDED: service lookup feature. Manual lookups can be performed by port number or
a keyword search. Both case sensitive and insensitive searches can be performed.
-ADDED: about window
-ADDED: tab cycle chains.
-ADDED: lots of new services to the service table.
-ADDED: Minor changes to the GUI layout (some buttons moved, button ghosting)
-ADDED: rewrite of the source code, in preparation for localisation in a future
version as well as tidying up some routines.
-ADDED: changes to various texts such as bubble help.
-ADDED: Completely re-written documentation. Now in Amiga Guide format.
-ADDED: Online Help.
-FIXED: Minor bug fix in the layout of the logfile.
Version 0.1
-----------
Initial Release.
