WAM's Projects

Various software projects WAM is directly responsible for:

BookMaker
WAM's software for managing parimutuel betting pools associated with off-track horse betting.
WAM's Homedir
Not much here right now, other than a view into the programs and config files I use in my various home directories. I got turned onto more rigourous management of my homedir after reading Subverting your homedir, or keeping your life in svn.
Wamber.net Automation
The code on which wamber.net runs is now checked into the revision control repository.
Many other projects I can't share
Most of the code I've written in the past 6 years or so is the property of Cisco Systems. Bleh.

WAM's Contributed Projects

I've been involved in contributions of various other Open Source Projects, including:

Python
My current favorite programming language. Mostly I am just a happy user of this well designed language; however, I recently contributed a patch to address email address parsing errors which will get included in the upcoming Python 2.5 release.
Scapy

A cool python package for doing packet dissection, construction, and injection. I've added some bug fixes and some functionality improvements:

Nmap

Swiss army knife of network/host/port scanning. My contributions include:

  • code for the --exlude option
  • patches related to max_parallelism
  • many compile warning fixes
  • the initial DTD for Nmap's XML output format
  • Uptime information into the XML
  • patch to allow multi-protocol port specification possible (e.g. -p U:53,111,137,T:21-25,80,139,515,)
Kismet
Kismet is wireless network detector and sniffer. I added some bug fixes that allow it to better handle cloaked networks.
Dsniff
Dsniff is a tool to extract password and other interesting information (such as URLs, instant message traffic, etc) from a sniffed network. I wrote and contributed the code that allowed dsniff to process wireless networks, as well as to read inspected packets from a PCAP file (such as generated by kismet).
