WebJob 1.3.0 Release

[Klayton Monroe <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>]

Background:

  WebJob downloads a program over HTTP/HTTPS and executes it in one
  unified operation. The output, if any, may be directed to
  stdout/stderr or a Web resource. WebJob may be useful in incident
  response and intrusion analysis as it provides a mechanism to run
  known good diagnostic programs on a potentially compromised system.
  It can also support a variety of centralized management and
  host-based monitoring solutions such as process monitoring, file
  integrity, package/patch deployment, configuration management,
  and policy compliance.

  WebJob is also the home of Payload and Delivery (PaD) technology.
  A PaD file is a self-extracting executable which can be implemented
  as either a script or a program. In addition to extracting their
  payload, PaD executables support flexible payload delivery. In
  other words, the user controls if, when, and how a given payload
  will be delivered. Within the PaD framework, delivery refers to
  the act of running one or more commands to manipulate or otherwise
  make use of the extracted payload.

Announcement:

  Version 1.3.0 is a minor release of WebJob. Generally, code was
  cleaned up and refined as necessary. The configure/build process
  has been updated, and several new configure options were added.
  The client-side filename format was changed from webjob.stdxxx.hhhhhhhh
  to webjob_hhhhhhhh.xxx. Also, the logic used to seed the random
  number generator was modified to address an issue on NT/2K
  platforms. The major event for this release, however, was the
  addition of MD5 and SHA1 hashing support. Now, WebJob has the
  ability to compute a message digest of a specified file or stdin.
  This is useful in situations where the downloaded executable needs
  to compute a hash, but the target platform lacks the necessary
  hashing tools. Also, message digests of the std{out,err} streams
  are now computed and written to the stdenv stream. This will make
  it easier to check stream integrity on the server.
