  398. - Send AP-STA-DISCONNECTED event when an AP disconnects a station
  399. due to inactivity.
  400. - Add wps_config ctrl_interface command for configuring AP. This
  401. command can be used to configure the AP using the internal WPS
  402. registrar. It works in the same way as new AP settings received

  408. notification to the STA.
  409. * Allow AP mode to disconnect STAs based on low ACK condition (when
  410. the data connection is not working properly, e.g., due to the STA
  411. going outside the range of the AP). Disabled by default, enable by
  412. config option disassoc_low_ack.
  413. * Add WPA_IGNORE_CONFIG_ERRORS build option to continue in case of bad
  414. config file.
  415. * WPS:
  416. - Send AP Settings as a wrapped Credential attribute to ctrl_iface
  417. in WPS-NEW-AP-SETTINGS.
  418. - Dispatch more WPS events through hostapd ctrl_iface.
  419. - Add mechanism for indicating non-standard WPS errors.
  420. - Change concurrent radio AP to use only one WPS UPnP instance.
  421. - Add wps_check_pin command for processing PIN from user input.
  422. UIs can use this command to process a PIN entered by a user and to
  423. validate the checksum digit (if present).
  424. - Add hostap_cli get_config command to display current AP config.
  425. - Add new hostapd_cli command, wps_ap_pin, to manage AP PIN at
  426. runtime and support dynamic AP PIN management.
  427. - Disable AP PIN after 10 consecutive failures. Slow down attacks
  428. on failures up to 10.
  429. - Allow AP to start in Enrollee mode without AP PIN for probing,
  430. to be compatible with Windows 7.
  431. - Add Config Error into WPS-FAIL events to provide more info
  432. to the user on how to resolve the issue.
  433. - When controlling multiple interfaces:
  434. - apply WPS commands to all interfaces configured to use WPS
  435. - apply WPS config changes to all interfaces that use WPS
  436. - when an attack is detected on any interface, disable AP PIN on
  437. all interfaces
  438. * WPS ER:
  439. - Show SetSelectedRegistrar events as ctrl_iface events.
  440. - Add special AP Setup Locked mode to allow read only ER.
  441. ap_setup_locked=2 can now be used to enable a special mode where
  442. WPS ER can learn the current AP settings, but cannot change them.
  443. * WPS 2.0: Add support for WPS 2.0 (CONFIG_WPS2)
  444. - Add build option CONFIG_WPS_EXTENSIBILITY_TESTING to enable tool
  445. for testing protocol extensibility.
  446. - Add build option CONFIG_WPS_STRICT to allow disabling of WPS
  447. workarounds.
  448. - Add support for AuthorizedMACs attribute.
  449. * TDLS:
  450. - Allow TDLS use or TDLS channel switching in the BSS to be
  451. prohibited in the BSS, using config params tdls_prohibit and
  452. tdls_prohibit_chan_switch.
  453. * EAP server: Add support for configuring fragment size (see
  454. fragment_size in hostapd.conf).
  455. * wlantest: Add a tool wlantest for IEEE802.11 protocol testing.
  456. wlantest can be used to capture frames from a monitor interface
  457. for realtime capturing or from pcap files for offline analysis.
  458. * Interworking: Support added for 802.11u. Enable in .config with
  459. CONFIG_INTERWORKING. See hostapd.conf for config parameters for
  460. interworking.

  497. * fix WPS association with both WPS IE and WPA/RSN IE present with
  498. driver wrappers that use hostapd MLME (e.g., nl80211)
  499. 2010-01-16 - v0.7.1
  500. * cleaned up driver wrapper API (struct wpa_driver_ops); the new API
  501. is not fully backwards compatible, so out-of-tree driver wrappers

  524. driver=nl80211)
  525. 2009-11-21 - v0.7.0
  526. * increased hostapd_cli ping interval to 5 seconds and made this
  527. configurable with a new command line options (-G<seconds>)

  543. * added number of code size optimizations to remove unnecessary
  544. functionality from the program binary based on build configuration
  545. (part of this automatic; part configurable with CONFIG_NO_* build

  558. 2009-01-06 - v0.6.7
  559. * added support for Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS)
  560. (hostapd can now be configured to act as an integrated WPS Registrar
  561. and provision credentials for WPS Enrollees using PIN and PBC
  562. methods; external wireless Registrar can configure the AP, but
  563. external WLAN Manager Registrars are not supported); WPS support can
  564. be enabled by adding CONFIG_WPS=y into .config and setting the
  565. runtime configuration variables in hostapd.conf (see WPS section in
  566. the example configuration file); new hostapd_cli commands wps_pin and
  567. wps_pbc are used to configure WPS negotiation; see README-WPS for
  568. more details
  569. * added IEEE 802.11n HT capability configuration (ht_capab)

  579. 2008-11-23 - v0.6.6
  580. * added a new configuration option, wpa_ptk_rekey, that can be used to
  581. enforce frequent PTK rekeying, e.g., to mitigate some attacks against
  582. TKIP deficiencies
  583. * updated OpenSSL code for EAP-FAST to use an updated version of the
  584. session ticket overriding API that was included into the upstream
  585. OpenSSL 0.9.9 tree on 2008-11-15 (no additional OpenSSL patch is
  586. needed with that version anymore)
  587. * changed channel flags configuration to read the information from
  588. the driver (e.g., via driver_nl80211 when using mac80211) instead of
  589. using hostapd as the source of the regulatory information (i.e.,
  590. information from CRDA is now used with mac80211); this allows 5 GHz
  591. channels to be used with hostapd (if allowed in the current
  592. regulatory domain)
  593. * fixed EAP-TLS message processing for the last TLS message if it is
  594. large enough to require fragmentation (e.g., if a large Session
  595. Ticket data is included)

  600. * fixed EAP-FAST PAC-Opaque padding (0.6.4 broke this for some peer
  601. identity lengths)
  602. * fixed internal TLSv1 implementation for abbreviated handshake (used
  603. by EAP-FAST server)
  604. * added support for setting VLAN ID for STAs based on local MAC ACL
  605. (accept_mac_file) as an alternative for RADIUS server-based
  606. configuration
  607. * updated management frame protection to use IEEE 802.11w/D6.0
  608. (adds a new association ping to protect against unauthenticated
  609. authenticate or (re)associate request frames dropping association)
  610. * added support for using SHA256-based stronger key derivation for WPA2
  611. (IEEE 802.11w)
  612. * added new "driver wrapper" for RADIUS-only configuration
  613. (driver=none in hostapd.conf; CONFIG_DRIVER_NONE=y in .config)
  614. * fixed WPA/RSN IE validation to verify that the proto (WPA vs. WPA2)
  615. is enabled in configuration
  616. * changed EAP-FAST configuration to use separate fields for A-ID and
  617. A-ID-Info (eap_fast_a_id_info) to allow A-ID to be set to a fixed
  618. 16-octet len binary value for better interoperability with some peer
  619. implementations; eap_fast_a_id is now configured as a hex string
  620. * driver_nl80211: Updated to match the current Linux mac80211 AP mode
  621. configuration (wireless-testing.git and Linux kernel releases
  622. starting from 2.6.29)

  625. Identity Request if identity is already known
  626. * added support for EAP Sequences in EAP-FAST Phase 2
  627. * added support for EAP-TNC (Trusted Network Connect)
  628. (this version implements the EAP-TNC method and EAP-TTLS/EAP-FAST
  629. changes needed to run two methods in sequence (IF-T) and the IF-IMV
  630. and IF-TNCCS interfaces from TNCS)
  631. * added support for optional cryptobinding with PEAPv0
  632. * added fragmentation support for EAP-TNC
  633. * added support for fragmenting EAP-TTLS/PEAP/FAST Phase 2 (tunneled)
  634. data
  635. * added support for opportunistic key caching (OKC)
  636. 2008-02-22 - v0.6.3
  637. * fixed Reassociation Response callback processing when using internal
  638. MLME (driver_{hostap,nl80211,test}.c)
  639. * updated FT support to use the latest draft, IEEE 802.11r/D9.0
  640. * copy optional Proxy-State attributes into RADIUS response when acting
  641. as a RADIUS authentication server
  642. * fixed EAPOL state machine to handle a case in which no response is
  643. received from the RADIUS authentication server; previous version
  644. could have triggered a crash in some cases after a timeout
  645. * fixed EAP-SIM/AKA realm processing to allow decorated usernames to
  646. be used
  647. * added a workaround for EAP-SIM/AKA peers that include incorrect null
  648. termination in the username
  649. * fixed EAP-SIM/AKA protected result indication to include AT_COUNTER
  650. attribute in notification messages only when using fast
  651. reauthentication
  652. * fixed EAP-SIM Start response processing for fast reauthentication
  653. case
  654. * added support for pending EAP processing in EAP-{PEAP,TTLS,FAST}
  655. phase 2 to allow EAP-SIM and EAP-AKA to be used as the Phase 2 method
  656. 2008-01-01 - v0.6.2
  657. * fixed EAP-SIM and EAP-AKA message parser to validate attribute
  658. lengths properly to avoid potential crash caused by invalid messages
  659. * added data structure for storing allocated buffers (struct wpabuf);
  660. this does not affect hostapd usage, but many of the APIs changed
  661. and various interfaces (e.g., EAP) is not compatible with old
  662. versions
  663. * added support for protecting EAP-AKA/Identity messages with
  664. AT_CHECKCODE (optional feature in RFC 4187)
  665. * added support for protected result indication with AT_RESULT_IND for
  666. EAP-SIM and EAP-AKA (eap_sim_aka_result_ind=1)
  667. * added support for configuring EAP-TTLS phase 2 non-EAP methods in
  668. EAP server configuration; previously all four were enabled for every
  669. phase 2 user, now all four are disabled by default and need to be
  670. enabled with new method names TTLS-PAP, TTLS-CHAP, TTLS-MSCHAP,
  671. TTLS-MSCHAPV2
  672. * removed old debug printing mechanism and the related 'debug'
  673. parameter in the configuration file; debug verbosity is now set with
  674. -d (or -dd) command line arguments
  675. * added support for EAP-IKEv2 (draft-tschofenig-eap-ikev2-15.txt);
  676. only shared key/password authentication is supported in this version
  677. 2007-11-24 - v0.6.1
  678. * added experimental, integrated TLSv1 server implementation with the
  679. needed X.509/ASN.1/RSA/bignum processing (this can be enabled by
  680. setting CONFIG_TLS=internal and CONFIG_INTERNAL_LIBTOMMATH=y in
  681. .config); this can be useful, e.g., if the target system does not
  682. have a suitable TLS library and a minimal code size is required
  683. * added support for EAP-FAST server method to the integrated EAP
  684. server
  685. * updated EAP Generalized Pre-Shared Key (EAP-GPSK) to use the latest
  686. draft (draft-ietf-emu-eap-gpsk-07.txt)
  687. * added a new configuration parameter, rsn_pairwise, to allow different
  688. pairwise cipher suites to be enabled for WPA and RSN/WPA2
  689. (note: if wpa_pairwise differs from rsn_pairwise, the driver will
  690. either need to support this or will have to use the WPA/RSN IEs from
  691. hostapd; currently, the included madwifi and bsd driver interfaces do
  692. not have support for this)
  693. * updated FT support to use the latest draft, IEEE 802.11r/D8.0
  694. 2007-05-28 - v0.6.0
  695. * added experimental IEEE 802.11r/D6.0 support
  696. * updated EAP-SAKE to RFC 4763 and the IANA-allocated EAP type 48
  697. * updated EAP-PSK to use the IANA-allocated EAP type 47
  698. * fixed EAP-PSK bit ordering of the Flags field
  699. * fixed configuration reloading (SIGHUP) to re-initialize WPA PSKs
  700. by reading wpa_psk_file [Bug 181]
  701. * fixed EAP-TTLS AVP parser processing for too short AVP lengths
  702. * fixed IPv6 connection to RADIUS accounting server
  703. * updated EAP Generalized Pre-Shared Key (EAP-GPSK) to use the latest
  704. draft (draft-ietf-emu-eap-gpsk-04.txt)
  705. * hlr_auc_gw: read GSM triplet file into memory and rotate through the
  706. entries instead of only using the same three triplets every time
  707. (this does not work properly with tests using multiple clients, but
  708. provides bit better triplet data for testing a single client; anyway,
  709. if a better quality triplets are needed, GSM-Milenage should be used
  710. instead of hardcoded triplet file)
  711. * fixed EAP-MSCHAPv2 server to use a space between S and M parameters
  712. in Success Request [Bug 203]
  713. * added support for sending EAP-AKA Notifications in error cases
  714. * updated to use IEEE 802.11w/D2.0 for management frame protection
  715. (still experimental)
  716. * RADIUS server: added support for processing duplicate messages
  717. (retransmissions from RADIUS client) by replying with the previous
  718. reply
  719. 2006-11-24 - v0.5.6
  720. * added support for configuring and controlling multiple BSSes per
  721. radio interface (bss=<ifname> in hostapd.conf); this is only
  722. available with Devicescape and test driver interfaces
  723. * fixed PMKSA cache update in the end of successful RSN
  724. pre-authentication
  725. * added support for dynamic VLAN configuration (i.e., selecting VLAN-ID
  726. for each STA based on RADIUS Access-Accept attributes); this requires
  727. VLAN support from the kernel driver/802.11 stack and this is
  728. currently only available with Devicescape and test driver interfaces
  729. * driver_madwifi: fixed configuration of unencrypted modes (plaintext
  730. and IEEE 802.1X without WEP)
  731. * removed STAKey handshake since PeerKey handshake has replaced it in
  732. IEEE 802.11ma and there are no known deployments of STAKey
  733. * updated EAP Generalized Pre-Shared Key (EAP-GPSK) to use the latest
  734. draft (draft-ietf-emu-eap-gpsk-01.txt)
  735. * added preliminary implementation of IEEE 802.11w/D1.0 (management
  736. frame protection)
  737. (Note: this requires driver support to work properly.)
  738. (Note2: IEEE 802.11w is an unapproved draft and subject to change.)
  739. * hlr_auc_gw: added support for GSM-Milenage (for EAP-SIM)
  740. * hlr_auc_gw: added support for reading per-IMSI Milenage keys and
  741. parameters from a text file to make it possible to implement proper
  742. GSM/UMTS authentication server for multiple SIM/USIM cards using
  743. EAP-SIM/EAP-AKA
  744. * fixed session timeout processing with drivers that do not use
  745. ieee802_11.c (e.g., madwifi)
  746. 2006-08-27 - v0.5.5
  747. * added 'hostapd_cli new_sta <addr>' command for adding a new STA into
  748. hostapd (e.g., to initialize wired network authentication based on an
  749. external signal)
  750. * fixed hostapd to add PMKID KDE into 4-Way Handshake Message 1 when
  751. using WPA2 even if PMKSA caching is not used
  752. * added -P<pid file> argument for hostapd to write the current process
  753. id into a file
  754. * added support for RADIUS Authentication Server MIB (RFC 2619)
  755. 2006-06-20 - v0.5.4
  756. * fixed nt_password_hash build [Bug 144]
  757. * added PeerKey handshake implementation for IEEE 802.11e
  758. direct link setup (DLS) to replace STAKey handshake
  759. * added support for EAP Generalized Pre-Shared Key (EAP-GPSK,
  760. draft-clancy-emu-eap-shared-secret-00.txt)
  761. * fixed a segmentation fault when RSN pre-authentication was completed
  762. successfully [Bug 152]
  763. 2006-04-27 - v0.5.3
  764. * do not build nt_password_hash and hlr_auc_gw by default to avoid
  765. requiring a TLS library for a successful build; these programs can be
  766. build with 'make nt_password_hash' and 'make hlr_auc_gw'
  767. * added a new configuration option, eapol_version, that can be used to
  768. set EAPOL version to 1 (default is 2) to work around broken client
  769. implementations that drop EAPOL frames which use version number 2
  770. [Bug 89]
  771. * added support for EAP-SAKE (no EAP method number allocated yet, so
  772. this is using the same experimental type 255 as EAP-PSK)
  773. * fixed EAP-MSCHAPv2 message length validation
  774. 2006-03-19 - v0.5.2
  775. * fixed stdarg use in hostapd_logger(): if both stdout and syslog
  776. logging was enabled, hostapd could trigger a segmentation fault in
  777. vsyslog on some CPU -- C library combinations
  778. * moved HLR/AuC gateway implementation for EAP-SIM/AKA into an external
  779. program to make it easier to use for implementing real SS7 gateway;
  780. eap_sim_db is not anymore used as a file name for GSM authentication
  781. triplets; instead, it is path to UNIX domain socket that will be used
  782. to communicate with the external gateway program (e.g., hlr_auc_gw)
  783. * added example HLR/AuC gateway implementation, hlr_auc_gw, that uses
  784. local information (GSM authentication triplets from a text file and
  785. hardcoded AKA authentication data); this can be used to test EAP-SIM
  786. and EAP-AKA
  787. * added Milenage algorithm (example 3GPP AKA algorithm) to hlr_auc_gw
  788. to make it possible to test EAP-AKA with real USIM cards (this is
  789. disabled by default; define AKA_USE_MILENAGE when building hlr_auc_gw
  790. to enable this)
  791. * driver_madwifi: added support for getting station RSN IE from
  792. madwifi-ng svn r1453 and newer; this fixes RSN that was apparently
  793. broken with earlier change (r1357) in the driver
  794. * changed EAP method registration to use a dynamic list of methods
  795. instead of a static list generated at build time
  796. * fixed WPA message 3/4 not to encrypt Key Data field (WPA IE)
  797. [Bug 125]
  798. * added ap_max_inactivity configuration parameter
  799. 2006-01-29 - v0.5.1
  800. * driver_test: added better support for multiple APs and STAs by using
  801. a directory with sockets that include MAC address for each device in
  802. the name (test_socket=DIR:/tmp/test)
  803. * added support for EAP expanded type (vendor specific EAP methods)
  804. 2005-12-18 - v0.5.0 (beginning of 0.5.x development releases)
  805. * added experimental STAKey handshake implementation for IEEE 802.11e
  806. direct link setup (DLS); note: this is disabled by default in both
  807. build and runtime configuration (can be enabled with CONFIG_STAKEY=y
  808. and stakey=1)
  809. * added support for EAP methods to use callbacks to external programs
  810. by buffering a pending request and processing it after the EAP method
  811. is ready to continue
  812. * improved EAP-SIM database interface to allow external request to GSM
  813. HLR/AuC without blocking hostapd process
  814. * added support for using EAP-SIM pseudonyms and fast re-authentication
  815. * added support for EAP-AKA in the integrated EAP authenticator
  816. * added support for matching EAP identity prefixes (e.g., "1"*) in EAP
  817. user database to allow EAP-SIM/AKA selection without extra roundtrip
  818. for EAP-Nak negotiation
  819. * added support for storing EAP user password as NtPasswordHash instead
  820. of plaintext password when using MSCHAP or MSCHAPv2 for
  821. authentication (hash:<16-octet hex value>); added nt_password_hash
  822. tool for hashing password to generate NtPasswordHash
  823. 2005-11-20 - v0.4.7 (beginning of 0.4.x stable releases)
  824. * driver_wired: fixed EAPOL sending to optionally use PAE group address
  825. as the destination instead of supplicant MAC address; this is
  826. disabled by default, but should be enabled with use_pae_group_addr=1
  827. in configuration file if the wired interface is used by only one
  828. device at the time (common switch configuration)
  829. * driver_madwifi: configure driver to use TKIP countermeasures in order
  830. to get correct behavior (IEEE 802.11 association failing; previously,
  831. association succeeded, but hostpad forced disassociation immediately)
  832. * driver_madwifi: added support for madwifi-ng
  833. 2005-10-27 - v0.4.6
  834. * added support for replacing user identity from EAP with RADIUS
  835. User-Name attribute from Access-Accept message, if that is included,
  836. for the RADIUS accounting messages (e.g., for EAP-PEAP/TTLS to get
  837. tunneled identity into accounting messages when the RADIUS server
  838. does not support better way of doing this with Class attribute)
  839. * driver_madwifi: fixed EAPOL packet receive for configuration where
  840. ath# is part of a bridge interface
  841. * added a configuration file and log analyzer script for logwatch
  842. * fixed EAPOL state machine step function to process all state
  843. transitions before processing new events; this resolves a race
  844. condition in which EAPOL-Start message could trigger hostapd to send
  845. two EAP-Response/Identity frames to the authentication server
  846. 2005-09-25 - v0.4.5
  847. * added client CA list to the TLS certificate request in order to make
  848. it easier for the client to select which certificate to use
  849. * added experimental support for EAP-PSK
  850. * added support for WE-19 (hostap, madwifi)
  851. 2005-08-21 - v0.4.4
  852. * fixed build without CONFIG_RSN_PREAUTH
  853. * fixed FreeBSD build
  854. 2005-06-26 - v0.4.3
  855. * fixed PMKSA caching to copy User-Name and Class attributes so that
  856. RADIUS accounting gets correct information
  857. * start RADIUS accounting only after successful completion of WPA
  858. 4-Way Handshake if WPA-PSK is used
  859. * fixed PMKSA caching for the case where STA (re)associates without
  860. first disassociating
  861. 2005-06-12 - v0.4.2
  862. * EAP-PAX is now registered as EAP type 46
  863. * fixed EAP-PAX MAC calculation
  864. * fixed EAP-PAX CK and ICK key derivation
  865. * renamed eap_authenticator configuration variable to eap_server to
  866. better match with RFC 3748 (EAP) terminology
  867. * driver_test: added support for testing hostapd with wpa_supplicant
  868. by using test driver interface without any kernel drivers or network
  869. cards
  870. 2005-05-22 - v0.4.1
  871. * fixed RADIUS server initialization when only auth or acct server
  872. is configured and the other one is left empty
  873. * driver_madwifi: added support for RADIUS accounting
  874. * driver_madwifi: added preliminary support for compiling against 'BSD'
  875. branch of madwifi CVS tree
  876. * driver_madwifi: fixed pairwise key removal to allow WPA reauth
  877. without disassociation
  878. * added support for reading additional certificates from PKCS#12 files
  879. and adding them to the certificate chain
  880. * fixed RADIUS Class attribute processing to only use Access-Accept
  881. packets to update Class; previously, other RADIUS authentication
  882. packets could have cleared Class attribute
  883. * added support for more than one Class attribute in RADIUS packets
  884. * added support for verifying certificate revocation list (CRL) when
  885. using integrated EAP authenticator for EAP-TLS; new hostapd.conf
  886. options 'check_crl'; CRL must be included in the ca_cert file for now
  887. 2005-04-25 - v0.4.0 (beginning of 0.4.x development releases)
  888. * added support for including network information into
  889. EAP-Request/Identity message (ASCII-0 (nul) in eap_message)
  890. (e.g., to implement draft-adrange-eap-network-discovery-07.txt)
  891. * fixed a bug which caused some RSN pre-authentication cases to use
  892. freed memory and potentially crash hostapd
  893. * fixed private key loading for cases where passphrase is not set
  894. * added support for sending TLS alerts and aborting authentication
  895. when receiving a TLS alert
  896. * fixed WPA2 to add PMKSA cache entry when using integrated EAP
  897. authenticator
  898. * fixed PMKSA caching (EAP authentication was not skipped correctly
  899. with the new state machine changes from IEEE 802.1X draft)
  900. * added support for RADIUS over IPv6; own_ip_addr, auth_server_addr,
  901. and acct_server_addr can now be IPv6 addresses (CONFIG_IPV6=y needs
  902. to be added to .config to include IPv6 support); for RADIUS server,
  903. radius_server_ipv6=1 needs to be set in hostapd.conf and addresses
  904. in RADIUS clients file can then use IPv6 format
  905. * added experimental support for EAP-PAX
  906. * replaced hostapd control interface library (hostapd_ctrl.[ch]) with
  907. the same implementation that wpa_supplicant is using (wpa_ctrl.[ch])
  908. 2005-02-12 - v0.3.7 (beginning of 0.3.x stable releases)
  909. 2005-01-23 - v0.3.5
  910. * added support for configuring a forced PEAP version based on the
  911. Phase 1 identity
  912. * fixed PEAPv1 to use tunneled EAP-Success/Failure instead of EAP-TLV
  913. to terminate authentication
  914. * fixed EAP identifier duplicate processing with the new IEEE 802.1X
  915. draft
  916. * clear accounting data in the driver when starting a new accounting
  917. session
  918. * driver_madwifi: filter wireless events based on ifindex to allow more
  919. than one network interface to be used
  920. * fixed WPA message 2/4 processing not to cancel timeout for TimeoutEvt
  921. setting if the packet does not pass MIC verification (e.g., due to
  922. incorrect PSK); previously, message 1/4 was not tried again if an
  923. invalid message 2/4 was received
  924. * fixed reconfiguration of RADIUS client retransmission timer when
  925. adding a new message to the pending list; previously, timer was not
  926. updated at this point and if there was a pending message with long
  927. time for the next retry, the new message needed to wait that long for
  928. its first retry, too
  929. 2005-01-09 - v0.3.4
  930. * added support for configuring multiple allowed EAP types for Phase 2
  931. authentication (EAP-PEAP, EAP-TTLS)
  932. * fixed EAPOL-Start processing to trigger WPA reauthentication
  933. (previously, only EAPOL authentication was done)
  934. 2005-01-02 - v0.3.3
  935. * added support for EAP-PEAP in the integrated EAP authenticator
  936. * added support for EAP-GTC in the integrated EAP authenticator
  937. * added support for configuring list of EAP methods for Phase 1 so that
  938. the integrated EAP authenticator can, e.g., use the wildcard entry
  939. for EAP-TLS and EAP-PEAP
  940. * added support for EAP-TTLS in the integrated EAP authenticator
  941. * added support for EAP-SIM in the integrated EAP authenticator
  942. * added support for using hostapd as a RADIUS authentication server
  943. with the integrated EAP authenticator taking care of EAP
  944. authentication (new hostapd.conf options: radius_server_clients and
  945. radius_server_auth_port); this is not included in default build; use
  946. CONFIG_RADIUS_SERVER=y in .config to include
  947. 2004-12-19 - v0.3.2
  948. * removed 'daemonize' configuration file option since it has not really
  949. been used at all for more than year
  950. * driver_madwifi: fixed group key setup and added get_ssid method
  951. * added support for EAP-MSCHAPv2 in the integrated EAP authenticator
  952. 2004-12-12 - v0.3.1
  953. * added support for integrated EAP-TLS authentication (new hostapd.conf
  954. variables: ca_cert, server_cert, private_key, private_key_passwd);
  955. this enabled dynamic keying (WPA2/WPA/IEEE 802.1X/WEP) without
  956. external RADIUS server
  957. * added support for reading PKCS#12 (PFX) files (as a replacement for
  958. PEM/DER) to get certificate and private key (CONFIG_PKCS12)
  959. 2004-12-05 - v0.3.0 (beginning of 0.3.x development releases)
  960. * added support for Acct-{Input,Output}-Gigawords
  961. * added support for Event-Timestamp (in RADIUS Accounting-Requests)
  962. * added support for RADIUS Authentication Client MIB (RFC2618)
  963. * added support for RADIUS Accounting Client MIB (RFC2620)
  964. * made EAP re-authentication period configurable (eap_reauth_period)
  965. * fixed EAPOL reauthentication to trigger WPA/WPA2 reauthentication
  966. * fixed EAPOL state machine to stop if STA is removed during
  967. eapol_sm_step(); this fixes at least one segfault triggering bug with
  968. IEEE 802.11i pre-authentication
  969. * added support for multiple WPA pre-shared keys (e.g., one for each
  970. client MAC address or keys shared by a group of clients);
  971. new hostapd.conf field wpa_psk_file for setting path to a text file
  972. containing PSKs, see hostapd.wpa_psk for an example
  973. * added support for multiple driver interfaces to allow hostapd to be
  974. used with other drivers
  975. * added wired authenticator driver interface (driver=wired in
  976. hostapd.conf, see wired.conf for example configuration)
  977. * added madwifi driver interface (driver=madwifi in hostapd.conf, see
  978. madwifi.conf for example configuration; Note: include files from
  979. madwifi project is needed for building and a configuration file,
  980. .config, needs to be created in hostapd directory with
  981. CONFIG_DRIVER_MADWIFI=y to include this driver interface in hostapd
  982. build)
  983. * fixed an alignment issue that could cause SHA-1 to fail on some
  984. platforms (e.g., Intel ixp425 with a compiler that does not 32-bit
  985. align variables)
  986. * fixed RADIUS reconnection after an error in sending interim
  987. accounting packets
  988. * added hostapd control interface for external programs and an example
  989. CLI, hostapd_cli (like wpa_cli for wpa_supplicant)
  990. * started adding dot11, dot1x, radius MIBs ('hostapd_cli mib',
  991. 'hostapd_cli sta <addr>')
  992. * finished update from IEEE 802.1X-2001 to IEEE 802.1X-REV (now d11)
  993. * added support for strict GTK rekeying (wpa_strict_rekey in
  994. hostapd.conf)
  995. * updated IAPP to use UDP port 3517 and multicast address 224.0.1.178
  996. (instead of broadcast) for IAPP ADD-notify (moved from draft 3 to
  997. IEEE 802.11F-2003)
  998. * added Prism54 driver interface (driver=prism54 in hostapd.conf;
  999. note: .config needs to be created in hostapd directory with
  1000. CONFIG_DRIVER_PRISM54=y to include this driver interface in hostapd
  1001. build)
  1002. * dual-licensed hostapd (GPLv2 and BSD licenses)
  1003. * fixed RADIUS accounting to generate a new session id for cases where
  1004. a station reassociates without first being complete deauthenticated
  1005. * fixed STA disassociation handler to mark next timeout state to
  1006. deauthenticate the station, i.e., skip long wait for inactivity poll
  1007. and extra disassociation, if the STA disassociates without
  1008. deauthenticating
  1009. * added integrated EAP authenticator that can be used instead of
  1010. external RADIUS authentication server; currently, only EAP-MD5 is
  1011. supported, so this cannot yet be used for key distribution; the EAP
  1012. method interface is generic, though, so adding new EAP methods should
  1013. be straightforward; new hostapd.conf variables: 'eap_authenticator'
  1014. and 'eap_user_file'; this obsoletes "minimal authentication server"
  1015. ('minimal_eap' in hostapd.conf) which is now removed
  1016. * added support for FreeBSD and driver interface for the BSD net80211
  1017. layer (driver=bsd in hostapd.conf and CONFIG_DRIVER_BSD=y in
  1018. .config); please note that some of the required kernel mods have not
  1019. yet been committed
  1020. 2004-07-17 - v0.2.4 (beginning of 0.2.x stable releases)
  1021. * fixed some accounting cases where Accounting-Start was sent when
  1022. IEEE 802.1X port was being deauthorized
  1023. 2004-06-20 - v0.2.3
  1024. * modified RADIUS client to re-connect the socket in case of certain
  1025. error codes that are generated when a network interface state is
  1026. changes (e.g., when IP address changes or the interface is set UP)
  1027. * fixed couple of cases where EAPOL state for a station was freed
  1028. twice causing a segfault for hostapd
  1029. * fixed couple of bugs in processing WPA deauthentication (freed data
  1030. was used)
  1031. 2004-05-31 - v0.2.2
  1032. * fixed WPA/WPA2 group rekeying to use key index correctly (GN/GM)
  1033. * fixed group rekeying to send zero TSC in EAPOL-Key messages to fix
  1034. cases where STAs dropped multicast frames as replay attacks
  1035. * added support for copying RADIUS Attribute 'Class' from
  1036. authentication messages into accounting messages
  1037. * send canned EAP failure if RADIUS server sends Access-Reject without
  1038. EAP message (previously, Supplicant was not notified in this case)
  1039. * fixed mixed WPA-PSK and WPA-EAP mode to work with WPA-PSK (i.e., do
  1040. not start EAPOL state machines if the STA selected to use WPA-PSK)
  1041. 2004-05-06 - v0.2.1
  1042. * added WPA and IEEE 802.11i/RSN (WPA2) Authenticator functionality
  1043. - based on IEEE 802.11i/D10.0 but modified to interoperate with WPA
  1044. (i.e., IEEE 802.11i/D3.0)
  1045. - supports WPA-only, RSN-only, and mixed WPA/RSN mode
  1046. - both WPA-PSK and WPA-RADIUS/EAP are supported
  1047. - PMKSA caching and pre-authentication
  1048. - new hostapd.conf variables: wpa, wpa_psk, wpa_passphrase,
  1049. wpa_key_mgmt, wpa_pairwise, wpa_group_rekey, wpa_gmk_rekey,
  1050. rsn_preauth, rsn_preauth_interfaces
  1051. * fixed interim accounting to remove any pending accounting messages
  1052. to the STA before sending a new one
  1053. 2004-02-15 - v0.2.0
  1054. * added support for Acct-Interim-Interval:
  1055. - draft-ietf-radius-acct-interim-01.txt
  1056. - use Acct-Interim-Interval attribute from Access-Accept if local
  1057. 'radius_acct_interim_interval' is not set
  1058. - allow different update intervals for each STA
  1059. * fixed event loop to call signal handlers only after returning from
  1060. the real signal handler
  1061. * reset sta->timeout_next after successful association to make sure
  1062. that the previously registered inactivity timer will not remove the
  1063. STA immediately (e.g., if STA deauthenticates and re-associates
  1064. before the timer is triggered).
  1065. * added new hostapd.conf variable, nas_identifier, that can be used to
  1066. add an optional RADIUS Attribute, NAS-Identifier, into authentication
  1067. and accounting messages
  1068. * added support for Accounting-On and Accounting-Off messages
  1069. * fixed accounting session handling to send Accounting-Start only once
  1070. per session and not to send Accounting-Stop if the session was not
  1071. initialized properly
  1072. * fixed Accounting-Stop statistics in cases where the message was
  1073. previously sent after the kernel entry for the STA (and/or IEEE
  1074. 802.1X data) was removed
  1075. Note:
  1076. Older changes up to and including v0.1.0 are included in the ChangeLog
  1077. of the Host AP driver.
