Console Password Manager 0.22 Beta

Console Password Manager is a small console tool to manage passwords and store them public key encrypted in a file - even for more than one person.<br /><br />The encryption is handled via GnuPG so you can access the programs data via gpg as well, in case you want to have a look inside. The data is stored as XML so it's even possible to reuse the data for some other purpose.<br /><br />The software uses CDK (ncurses) to handle the user interface, libxml2 to store the information and the library GpgMe to encrypt and decrypt the data securely.<br /><br />A firewall is used to control access to a server host's services : the firewall accepts or drops the inbound packets. While doing so, it bases its decisions on the following parameters:<br /><br />-time of day (and day)<br /><br />-source of the requesting host (IP address)<br /><br />-optionally protocol (TCP,UDP,ICMP) and port number matching a requested service (http, smtp, ...)<br /><br />It was built bearing in mind the needs of a school or university where access to a server (typically a proxy server) may be allowed or disallowed depending on the time of day and the day of week and the set of hosts the requests come from (various classrooms or departments). This overall scheme has been extended to encompass (or provision for) more versatile uses.<br /><br />The Netfilter firewall works with chains that IP packets traverse on their way to their destination. Chains consist of a number of rules that apply if a given condition is satisfied. Basically, if the rule's condition is satisfied by the packet, then the rule's target determine the packet's fate: it can either be ACCEPTed or DROPped or even transferred to another chain for further processing.<br /><br />The rules are set up by the administrator and are meant to apply to a specific IP range (which may boil down to just one host) but some authorized users may determine whether the rule applies or not at given time slots, for the set of hosts they are responsible for.<br /><br />Technically MutFi awakes at given intervals and checks if it has to perform some changes to the firewall settings. If so, it flushes the administrator-defined chains
