Code contribution: Further development of a Security Suite for Unix/Linux (Anoubis) (fwd)
Hi freebsd-security@freebsd.org, "Kerstin Mende-Stief" <kerstin_mende-stief@genua.de> (CC'd) posted this below to <freebsd-hackers@freebsd.org>, there was no follow up on http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-hackers/2012-January/037603.html & of more interest to this <freebsd-security@freebsd.org> list so forwarding.

I spoke to various BSD-people on German open source events like OpenRheinRuhr, FrOSCon and Software Freedom Day and they recommended to contact this list first. I want to make a code contribution. The code is available at Sourceforge and I am looking for a community, that is willing and able to further develop the software. The software is a security suite for Unix/Linux systems called Anoubis and contains several security stages like sandbox, secure filesystem, application level firewall and playground. It is written in C/C++ and published under the BSD licence. Available distros are, amongst others, OpenBSD and sources for generic kernels. We at GeNUA developed the software suite on demand of a German Authority (Federal Office for Information Security) a couple of years ago. Unfortunately the project has been stopped after a while due to several reasons and we on the other hand missed to build up a community to keep the project alive. The code has been last updated in early 2010. The latest version of Anoubis is based on the kernel in OpenBSD 4.6. It would be a great pity to waste the software and all the work we put in. So I think it is worth a try to ask you, if you want to take the code and keep it up-to-date. Integrate it into FreeBSD (ports), keep it stand alone...just do what you want -- it doesn´t matter as long as the code stays alive :) Below are some links providing further information. Please let me know if you are interested in continuing the project. I ask you prefered, because we develop our solutions based on BSD and Anoubis would feel most comfortable in BSD environments further on :) We at GeNUA would be available for answering questions and giving you support within the beginning of your work. So please do not hesitate to contact me for further information. I will be present at the GUUG Fruehjahrsfachgespraech in Munich in March, I´ll be around at the CeBIT in Hannover and you can meet me at the Linuxtag in Berlin in May. My jabber ID is onlyk@jabber.ccc.de. Phone me, mail me.....find me :) Thank you very much and I ask for your apologies if this post may have bothered you. But I'd be so glad if I could find somebody, who takes the code and keep it alive.
