+20Jan23=======================================================================
+1. Add the variable @main::localhost_names to allow other IP addresses to
+ be treated in the same way as localhost in item 1 on 19Jan23 below. NOTE
+ you must include ALL the normal localhost names + any other interface
+ names that you might want to include:
+
+ set/var @main::localhost_names qw(127.0.0.1 ::1 192.168.1.30)
+
+ using the qw() construction is easier than:
+
+ set/var @main::localhost_names ('127.0.0.1', '::1', '192.168.1.30')
+
+ but either will work. You can define as many IP addresses as you like and
+ they can be IPV4 or 6.
+
+ You do NOT need to fiddle with this unless you specifically have more
+ than just the normal definitions of localhost. So for 'normal' nodes with
+ one external interface, you DO NOT NEED TO DO ANY OF THIS.
+19Jan23=======================================================================
+1. Introduce aliasing for localhost in DX Spots and outgoing PC92 A records
+ on login. There are two variables which can be set with the alias to use:
+ $main::localhost_alias_ipv4
+ $main::localhost_alias_ipv6
+ These can be set in the /spider/scripts/startup, but this is only
+ necessary if the node has more than one interface, or virtual hosts. If
+ there is ONLY ONE ipv4 and/or ipv6 IP address on the node machine then
+ these variables will be automatically populated on first use. But the SAFE
+ thing to do is to set them in the startup file.
+
+ THIS FEATURE IS EXPERIMENTAL...
+18Jan23=======================================================================
+1. Make sure than *every* channel has an IP address. Thank you (I think) Kin
+ for pointing out that PC92 A records were not going out with IP addresses.
+ I'm guessing that other things (like spots) had a similar problem.
+15Jan23=======================================================================
+1. Fix strange errors for carp on missing route_*_cache files on startup.
+14Jan23=======================================================================
+1. Fixed route PC11 promotions so that a new PC61 is actually generated and
+ also sent instead of the original PC11 (to PC61 capable nodes).
+13Jan23=======================================================================
+1. Periodically store Routing tables and, if they are young enough (def: 3hrs)
+ autotically restore them on restart of the node. This will short circuit
+ the need to rebuild the routing tables from scratch on every restart -
+ which is normally for something like software update.
+2. Fix pc11 debugging stats with the correct figures. Sigh... Also move some
+ of the totals to a different place.
+3. Add show/spotstats command which gives the current spot statistics shown
+ during pc11 debugging (which means you don't need to set/deb pc11 unless
+ you really want that extra noise).
+12Jan23=======================================================================
+1. Regularise 'set/debug pc11' output to track all the routes through PC11 and
+ PC61 processing and statistics.
+11Jan23=======================================================================
+1. Improve (?) the PC11 -> PC61 upgrading process that delays incoming PC11s
+ for a very short time in the hope that a PC61 will come in to be used
+ instead. It will also upgrade a PC11 if we have an uptodate IP address
+ that has come in from the routing system PC92s. do a 'set/debug pc11' to
+ see it in action.
+2. I have chosen a definitive list of TOR exits and relays which can be
+ downloaded from http://www.dxspider.net/download/badip.torexit,
+ http://www.dxspider.net/download/badip.torrelay and finally, for those IP
+ addresses that are deemed to be 'bad':
+ http://www.dxspider.net/download/badip.global. I have added the following
+ lines to my /spider/local_cmd/crontab:
+
+24 * * * * spawn('cd /spider/local_data; wget -qN http://www.dxspider.net/download/badip.torexit')
+24 * * * * spawn('cd /spider/local_data; wget -qN http://www.dxspider.net/download/badip.torrelay')
+24 * * * * spawn('cd /spider/local_data; wget -qN http://www.dxspider.net/download/badip.global')
+25 * * * * run_cmd('load/badip')
+
+ The tor files are downloaded from https://lists.fissionrelays.net/tor/ at
+ 15 minutes past every hour, please would you use some other minute than
+ 23 or 24 to get your own local copies.
+
+ A 'set/debug badip' will show you what is being blocked.
+3. Fix set/badip so that it appends new IP addresses correctly.
+10Jan23=======================================================================
+1. Add baddx on incoming callsign in RBN.
+2. Search for all /spider/local_data/badip.* files to allow more control on
+ which IP addresses are detected. e.g. badip.torexit, badip.torrelay as well
+ as baddx.local. The suffixes, apart from .local (created by set/badip) are
+ completely arbitrary. You can use whichever suffix name you like. This is
+ a more useful arrangement for the ever increasing sources of "bad ip
+ addresses" that we need to deter.
+
+ NOTE: all badip.<suffix> are read only EXCEPT badip.local (which can be
+ altered in real time by the sysop using set/badip <ip address> ...).
+ If one uses periodic crontab jobs to update any other badip.<suffix>
+ files from web resources then don't forget to 'load/badip' afterwards.
+3. Add a /spider/data/baddx.issue file which can be copied to (or used as a
+ basis to create) /spider/local_data/baddx
+09Jan23=======================================================================
+1. Finish implemention of DXCIDR ip address filtering. This works on both
+ logins (treated the same as locked out - i.e. just disconnected) and also
+ with PC61s where these sentences are just dropped. Also attempt to prevent
+ any *following* PC11s with the same data getting through.
+
+ YOU WILL NEED either 'cpanm Net::CIDR::Lite' or debian/ubuntu based distros
+ 'apt install libnet-cidr-lite-perl'. RedHat based systems will have similar
+ packages available.
+
+2. Recognise PC18s coming from CC Clusters more nicely.
+04Jan23=======================================================================
+1. Fillout DXCIDR, attach checks in PC61 and logins. Login that fail will
+ simply disconnect, like locked out callsigns
+2. Fix qrz.com URL in stock Internet.pm.
+3. Fix DXHash issues (baddx, badnode, badspotter etc)
+30Dec22=======================================================================
+1. Add more BadWords (regex) checks.
+01Dec22=======================================================================
+1. Re-add some debugging to see which incoming PC protcol sentences are
+ being dumped because of any bad content (words or calls) if debugging
+ option 'nologchan' is set.
+2. All debugging for badwords has the word 'badword' in it. So that one can
+ do a 'grepdbg -1 badword' and one should see who said it and all of what
+ they said. Watchdbg will also work with this.
+3. My latest recommended additions to the badword list includes:
+ RU STOP SPOT DISGRACE CRM CRIM CRUD SUBHUMAN FASCIST DEGENERATE CATTLE CNT
23Nov22=======================================================================
1. The BadWord system has been rewritten. This change is pretty radical and
needs to be used with care as a word that is entered will be reduced to the
projects / spider.git / blobdiff
