From 42d5b06d7ab2226598e98ebf3df94723f2f9b093 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Volker Lendecke Date: Mon, 9 Nov 2015 10:14:26 +0100 Subject: vfs: Remove smb_traffic_analyzer Holger Hetterich told me in a personal email that he does not have time to care about this project anymore and that he is fine to remove it from Samba. Why the removal? It contains homegrown crypto that would need to be thoroughly audited and/or fixed. And if it's neither maintained nor widely used I'd rather have it removed.

Therefore, the module - works with different protocol versions, and the receiver has to be able - to decode the protocol that is used. The protocol version 1 was - introduced to Samba at September 25, 2008. It was a very simple - protocol, supporting only a small list of VFS operations, and had - several drawbacks.

The - Receiver then has to use the same key. The module does AES block encryption over the - data to send. - - - - - The module now can identify itself against the receiver with a sub-release number, where - the receiver may run with a different sub-release number than the module. However, as - long as both run on the V2.x protocol, the receiver will not crash, even if the module - uses features only implemented in the newer subrelease. Ultimately, if the module uses - a new feature from a newer subrelease, and the receiver runs an older protocol, it is just - ignoring the functionality. Of course it is best to have both the receiver and the module - running the same subrelease of the protocol. - - - - - The parsing problems of protocol V1 can no longer happen, because V2 is marshalling the - data packages in a proper way. - - - - - The module now potentially has the ability to create data on every VFS function.
