executing snort(IDS)on l4 linux
by Vidya Lakshmi 22 Jan '15

22 Jan '15

Greetings sir, We have been trying to run networking applications like IDS (SNORT) in L4RE. We are able to run IDS on Ubuntu. Can we use the same IDS application on the para-virtualized Linux(L4 Linux) environment without modifying the IDS application OR should we generate modules.list and conf files for its execution. Also please suggest us any network security application to run on l4RE-FIASCO.OC. Please guide us. Thanking you, Regards R.Vidya Lakshmi

client server communication
by Gayathri Nagarajan 22 Jan '15

22 Jan '15

I executed the simple client server application, which is inside the l4 pkg directory of l4re. But, in that application, input is given inside the program itself. I want to take the input from user and send it to server through IPC GATE and the server has to respond to client (which will again be given by user). I tried using scanf, cin, sscanf, io.read...but the program takes only the garbage values. I am unable to give input in qemu... It would be helpful if some sample code is given for such kind of applications wherein the user inputs at run time... Gayathri

Device Driver Terminology
by teclis High Elf 21 Jan '15

21 Jan '15

Hi maybe this is an overly pedantic point but is there a specific term for device drivers in L4Re? In QNX they call them resource managers because they perform the same function as a device driver in a monolithic OS such as Linux but they run in their own address space like a POSIX process and behave like daemon. User space driver isn't really appropriate either because they don't have the same restrictions as user space drivers in a monolithic OS.

Can you help me? That is a fairly vague question, so I can only give you a vague answer. In general, device drivers request IO resources (IRQs, IO memory) from a resource manager and then use these resources to manage their device. The interface to request those resources is specified by the IO libraries, which you find either in l4/pkg/libio-direct or l4/pkg/libio-io. Some example drivers can be found in l4/pkg/drivers. If you have more specific questions, please do not hesitate to ask them on the mailing list. Hth, Bjoern - -- Dr.-Ing.

Compare security of normal OS and Fiasco.oc with L4re
by Gayathri Nagarajan 19 Jan '15

19 Jan '15

How to show that an application running on l4re with fiasco.oc is more secure than running the same application on normal operating system? Which application can be chosen for proving the security aspects of l4re? Some of which that I know are 1. DMS - Denial of mitigation system 2. IDS - Intrusion Detection system 3. Firewall etc... But I want a very basic and simple application to demonstrate the security when compared with running the same on normal os. Help needed. Gayathri
