  1. ChangeLog for hostapd
  2. 2012-05-10 - v1.0
  3. * Add channel selection support in hostapd. See hostapd.conf.
  4. * Add support for IEEE 802.11v Time Advertisement mechanism with UTC
  5. TSF offset. See hostapd.conf for config info.
  6. * Delay STA entry removal until Deauth/Disassoc TX status in AP mode.
  7. This allows the driver to use PS buffering of Deauthentication and
  8. Disassociation frames when the STA is in power save sleep. Only
  9. available with drivers that provide TX status events for Deauth/
  10. Disassoc frames (nl80211).
  11. * Allow PMKSA caching to be disabled on the Authenticator. See
  12. hostap.conf config parameter disable_pmksa_caching.
  13. * atheros: Add support for IEEE 802.11w configuration.
  14. * bsd: Add support for setting HT values in IFM_MMASK.
  15. * Allow client isolation to be configured with ap_isolate. Client
  16. isolation can be used to prevent low-level bridging of frames
  17. between associated stations in the BSS. By default, this bridging
  18. is allowed.
  19. * Allow coexistance of HT BSSes with WEP/TKIP BSSes.
  20. * Add require_ht config parameter, which can be used to configure
  21. hostapd to reject association with any station that does not support
  22. HT PHY.
  23. * Add support for writing debug log to a file using "-f" option. Also
  24. add relog CLI command to re-open the log file.
  25. * Add bridge handling for WDS STA interfaces. By default they are
  26. added to the configured bridge of the AP interface (if present),
  27. but the user can also specify a separate bridge using cli command
  28. wds_bridge.
  29. * hostapd_cli:
  30. - Add wds_bridge command for specifying bridge for WDS STA
  31. interfaces.
  32. - Add relog command for reopening log file.
  33. - Send AP-STA-DISCONNECTED event when an AP disconnects a station
  34. due to inactivity.
  35. - Add wps_config ctrl_interface command for configuring AP. This
  36. command can be used to configure the AP using the internal WPS
  37. registrar. It works in the same way as new AP settings received
  38. from an ER.
  39. - Many WPS/WPS ER commands - see WPS/WPS ER sections for details.
  40. - Add command get version, that returns hostapd version string.
  41. * WNM: Add BSS Transition Management Request for ESS Disassoc Imminent.
  42. Use hostapd_cli ess_disassoc (STA addr) (URL) to send the
  43. notification to the STA.
  44. * Allow AP mode to disconnect STAs based on low ACK condition (when
  45. the data connection is not working properly, e.g., due to the STA
  46. going outside the range of the AP). Disabled by default, enable by
  47. config option disassoc_low_ack.
  48. * Add WPA_IGNORE_CONFIG_ERRORS build option to continue in case of bad
  49. config file.
  50. * WPS:
  51. - Send AP Settings as a wrapped Credential attribute to ctrl_iface
  52. in WPS-NEW-AP-SETTINGS.
  53. - Dispatch more WPS events through hostapd ctrl_iface.
  54. - Add mechanism for indicating non-standard WPS errors.
  55. - Change concurrent radio AP to use only one WPS UPnP instance.
  56. - Add wps_check_pin command for processing PIN from user input.
  57. UIs can use this command to process a PIN entered by a user and to
  58. validate the checksum digit (if present).
  59. - Add hostap_cli get_config command to display current AP config.
  60. - Add new hostapd_cli command, wps_ap_pin, to manage AP PIN at
  61. runtime and support dynamic AP PIN management.
  62. - Disable AP PIN after 10 consecutive failures. Slow down attacks
  63. on failures up to 10.
  64. - Allow AP to start in Enrollee mode without AP PIN for probing,
  65. to be compatible with Windows 7.
  66. - Add Config Error into WPS-FAIL events to provide more info
  67. to the user on how to resolve the issue.
  68. - When controlling multiple interfaces:
  69. - apply WPS commands to all interfaces configured to use WPS
  70. - apply WPS config changes to all interfaces that use WPS
  71. - when an attack is detected on any interface, disable AP PIN on
  72. all interfaces
  73. * WPS ER:
  74. - Show SetSelectedRegistrar events as ctrl_iface events.
  75. - Add special AP Setup Locked mode to allow read only ER.
  76. ap_setup_locked=2 can now be used to enable a special mode where
  77. WPS ER can learn the current AP settings, but cannot change them.
  78. * WPS 2.0: Add support for WPS 2.0 (CONFIG_WPS2)
  79. - Add build option CONFIG_WPS_EXTENSIBILITY_TESTING to enable tool
  80. for testing protocol extensibility.
  81. - Add build option CONFIG_WPS_STRICT to allow disabling of WPS
  82. workarounds.
  83. - Add support for AuthorizedMACs attribute.
  84. * TDLS:
  85. - Allow TDLS use or TDLS channel switching in the BSS to be
  86. prohibited in the BSS, using config params tdls_prohibit and
  87. tdls_prohibit_chan_switch.
  88. * EAP server: Add support for configuring fragment size (see
  89. fragment_size in hostapd.conf).
  90. * wlantest: Add a tool wlantest for IEEE802.11 protocol testing.
  91. wlantest can be used to capture frames from a monitor interface
  92. for realtime capturing or from pcap files for offline analysis.
  93. * Interworking: Support added for 802.11u. Enable in .config with
  94. CONFIG_INTERWORKING. See hostapd.conf for config parameters for
  95. interworking.
  96. * Android: Add build and runtime support for Android hostapd.
  97. * Add a new debug message level for excessive information. Use
  98. -ddd to enable.
  99. * TLS: Add support for tls_disable_time_checks=1 in client mode.
  100. * Internal TLS:
  101. - Add support for TLS v1.1 (RFC 4346). Enable with build parameter
  102. CONFIG_TLSV11.
  103. - Add domainComponent parser for X.509 names
  104. * Reorder some IEs to get closer to IEEE 802.11 standard. Move
  105. WMM into end of Beacon, Probe Resp and (Re)Assoc Resp frames.
  106. Move HT IEs to be later in (Re)Assoc Resp.
  107. * Many bugfixes.
  108. 2010-04-18 - v0.7.2
  109. * fix WPS internal Registrar use when an external Registrar is also
  110. active
  111. * bsd: Cleaned up driver wrapper and added various low-level
  112. configuration options
  113. * TNC: fixed issues with fragmentation
  114. * EAP-TNC: add Flags field into fragment acknowledgement (needed to
  115. interoperate with other implementations; may potentially breaks
  116. compatibility with older wpa_supplicant/hostapd versions)
  117. * cleaned up driver wrapper API for multi-BSS operations
  118. * nl80211: fix multi-BSS and VLAN operations
  119. * fix number of issues with IEEE 802.11r/FT; this version is not
  120. backwards compatible with old versions
  121. * add SA Query Request processing in AP mode (IEEE 802.11w)
  122. * fix IGTK PN in group rekeying (IEEE 802.11w)
  123. * fix WPS PBC session overlap detection to use correct attribute
  124. * hostapd_notif_Assoc() can now be called with all IEs to simplify
  125. driver wrappers
  126. * work around interoperability issue with some WPS External Registrar
  127. implementations
  128. * nl80211: fix WPS IE update
  129. * hostapd_cli: add support for action script operations (run a script
  130. on hostapd events)
  131. * fix DH padding with internal crypto code (mainly, for WPS)
  132. * fix WPS association with both WPS IE and WPA/RSN IE present with
  133. driver wrappers that use hostapd MLME (e.g., nl80211)
  134. 2010-01-16 - v0.7.1
  135. * cleaned up driver wrapper API (struct wpa_driver_ops); the new API
  136. is not fully backwards compatible, so out-of-tree driver wrappers
  137. will need modifications
  138. * cleaned up various module interfaces
  139. * merge hostapd and wpa_supplicant developers' documentation into a
  140. single document
  141. * fixed HT Capabilities IE with nl80211 drivers
  142. * moved generic AP functionality code into src/ap
  143. * WPS: handle Selected Registrar as union of info from all Registrars

  152. driver=nl80211 for now)
  153. * fixed WPS Probe Request processing to handle missing required
  154. attribute
  155. * fixed PKCS#12 use with OpenSSL 1.0.0
  156. * detect bridge interface automatically so that bridge parameter in
  157. hostapd.conf becomes optional (though, it may now be used to
  158. automatically add then WLAN interface into a bridge with
  159. driver=nl80211)
  160. 2009-11-21 - v0.7.0
  161. * increased hostapd_cli ping interval to 5 seconds and made this
  162. configurable with a new command line options (-G<seconds>)
  163. * driver_nl80211: use Linux socket filter to improve performance
  164. * added support for external Registrars with WPS (UPnP transport)
  165. * 802.11n: scan for overlapping BSSes before starting 20/40 MHz channel
  166. * driver_nl80211: fixed STA accounting data collection (TX/RX bytes
  167. reported correctly; TX/RX packets not yet available from kernel)

  169. Drives (UFD) (CONFIG_WPS_UFD=y)
  170. * fixed EAPOL/EAP reauthentication when using an external RADIUS
  171. authentication server
  172. * fixed TNC with EAP-TTLS
  173. * fixed IEEE 802.11r key derivation function to match with the standard
  174. (note: this breaks interoperability with previous version) [Bug 303]
  175. * fixed SHA-256 based key derivation function to match with the
  176. standard when using CCMP (for IEEE 802.11r and IEEE 802.11w)
  177. (note: this breaks interoperability with previous version) [Bug 307]
  178. * added number of code size optimizations to remove unnecessary
  179. functionality from the program binary based on build configuration
  180. (part of this automatic; part configurable with CONFIG_NO_* build
  181. options)
  182. * use shared driver wrapper files with wpa_supplicant
  183. * driver_nl80211: multiple updates to provide support for new Linux
  184. nl80211/mac80211 functionality
  185. * updated management frame protection to use IEEE Std 802.11w-2009
  186. * fixed number of small WPS issues and added workarounds to
  187. interoperate with common deployed broken implementations
  188. * added some IEEE 802.11n co-existence rules to disable 40 MHz channels
  189. or modify primary/secondary channels if needed based on neighboring
  190. networks
  191. * added support for NFC out-of-band mechanism with WPS
  192. * added preliminary support for IEEE 802.11r RIC processing
  193. 2009-01-06 - v0.6.7
  194. * added support for Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS)
  195. (hostapd can now be configured to act as an integrated WPS Registrar
  196. and provision credentials for WPS Enrollees using PIN and PBC
  197. methods; external wireless Registrar can configure the AP, but
  198. external WLAN Manager Registrars are not supported); WPS support can
  199. be enabled by adding CONFIG_WPS=y into .config and setting the
  200. runtime configuration variables in hostapd.conf (see WPS section in
  201. the example configuration file); new hostapd_cli commands wps_pin and
  202. wps_pbc are used to configure WPS negotiation; see README-WPS for
  203. more details
  204. * added IEEE 802.11n HT capability configuration (ht_capab)
  205. * added support for generating Country IE based on nl80211 regulatory
  206. information (added if ieee80211d=1 in configuration)
  207. * fixed WEP authentication (both Open System and Shared Key) with
  208. mac80211
  209. * added support for EAP-AKA' (draft-arkko-eap-aka-kdf)
  210. * added support for using driver_test over UDP socket
  211. * changed EAP-GPSK to use the IANA assigned EAP method type 51
  212. * updated management frame protection to use IEEE 802.11w/D7.0
  213. * fixed retransmission of EAP requests if no response is received
  214. 2008-11-23 - v0.6.6
  215. * added a new configuration option, wpa_ptk_rekey, that can be used to
  216. enforce frequent PTK rekeying, e.g., to mitigate some attacks against
  217. TKIP deficiencies
  218. * updated OpenSSL code for EAP-FAST to use an updated version of the
  219. session ticket overriding API that was included into the upstream
  220. OpenSSL 0.9.9 tree on 2008-11-15 (no additional OpenSSL patch is
  221. needed with that version anymore)
  222. * changed channel flags configuration to read the information from
  223. the driver (e.g., via driver_nl80211 when using mac80211) instead of
  224. using hostapd as the source of the regulatory information (i.e.,
  225. information from CRDA is now used with mac80211); this allows 5 GHz
  226. channels to be used with hostapd (if allowed in the current
  227. regulatory domain)
  228. * fixed EAP-TLS message processing for the last TLS message if it is
  229. large enough to require fragmentation (e.g., if a large Session
  230. Ticket data is included)
  231. * fixed listen interval configuration for nl80211 drivers
  232. 2008-11-01 - v0.6.5
  233. * added support for SHA-256 as X.509 certificate digest when using the
  234. internal X.509/TLSv1 implementation
  235. * fixed EAP-FAST PAC-Opaque padding (0.6.4 broke this for some peer
  236. identity lengths)
  237. * fixed internal TLSv1 implementation for abbreviated handshake (used
  238. by EAP-FAST server)
  239. * added support for setting VLAN ID for STAs based on local MAC ACL
  240. (accept_mac_file) as an alternative for RADIUS server-based
  241. configuration
  242. * updated management frame protection to use IEEE 802.11w/D6.0
  243. (adds a new association ping to protect against unauthenticated
  244. authenticate or (re)associate request frames dropping association)
  245. * added support for using SHA256-based stronger key derivation for WPA2
  246. (IEEE 802.11w)
  247. * added new "driver wrapper" for RADIUS-only configuration
  248. (driver=none in hostapd.conf; CONFIG_DRIVER_NONE=y in .config)
  249. * fixed WPA/RSN IE validation to verify that the proto (WPA vs. WPA2)
  250. is enabled in configuration
  251. * changed EAP-FAST configuration to use separate fields for A-ID and
  252. A-ID-Info (eap_fast_a_id_info) to allow A-ID to be set to a fixed
  253. 16-octet len binary value for better interoperability with some peer
  254. implementations; eap_fast_a_id is now configured as a hex string
  255. * driver_nl80211: Updated to match the current Linux mac80211 AP mode
  256. configuration (wireless-testing.git and Linux kernel releases
  257. starting from 2.6.29)
  258. 2008-08-10 - v0.6.4
  259. * added peer identity into EAP-FAST PAC-Opaque and skip Phase 2
  260. Identity Request if identity is already known
  261. * added support for EAP Sequences in EAP-FAST Phase 2
  262. * added support for EAP-TNC (Trusted Network Connect)
  263. (this version implements the EAP-TNC method and EAP-TTLS/EAP-FAST
  264. changes needed to run two methods in sequence (IF-T) and the IF-IMV
  265. and IF-TNCCS interfaces from TNCS)
  266. * added support for optional cryptobinding with PEAPv0
  267. * added fragmentation support for EAP-TNC
  268. * added support for fragmenting EAP-TTLS/PEAP/FAST Phase 2 (tunneled)
  269. data
  270. * added support for opportunistic key caching (OKC)
  271. 2008-02-22 - v0.6.3
  272. * fixed Reassociation Response callback processing when using internal
  273. MLME (driver_{hostap,nl80211,test}.c)
  274. * updated FT support to use the latest draft, IEEE 802.11r/D9.0
  275. * copy optional Proxy-State attributes into RADIUS response when acting
  276. as a RADIUS authentication server
  277. * fixed EAPOL state machine to handle a case in which no response is
  278. received from the RADIUS authentication server; previous version
  279. could have triggered a crash in some cases after a timeout
  280. * fixed EAP-SIM/AKA realm processing to allow decorated usernames to
  281. be used
  282. * added a workaround for EAP-SIM/AKA peers that include incorrect null
  283. termination in the username
  284. * fixed EAP-SIM/AKA protected result indication to include AT_COUNTER
  285. attribute in notification messages only when using fast
  286. reauthentication
  287. * fixed EAP-SIM Start response processing for fast reauthentication
  288. case
  289. * added support for pending EAP processing in EAP-{PEAP,TTLS,FAST}
  290. phase 2 to allow EAP-SIM and EAP-AKA to be used as the Phase 2 method
  291. 2008-01-01 - v0.6.2
  292. * fixed EAP-SIM and EAP-AKA message parser to validate attribute
  293. lengths properly to avoid potential crash caused by invalid messages
  294. * added data structure for storing allocated buffers (struct wpabuf);
  295. this does not affect hostapd usage, but many of the APIs changed
  296. and various interfaces (e.g., EAP) is not compatible with old
  297. versions
  298. * added support for protecting EAP-AKA/Identity messages with
  299. AT_CHECKCODE (optional feature in RFC 4187)
  300. * added support for protected result indication with AT_RESULT_IND for
  301. EAP-SIM and EAP-AKA (eap_sim_aka_result_ind=1)
  302. * added support for configuring EAP-TTLS phase 2 non-EAP methods in
  303. EAP server configuration; previously all four were enabled for every
  304. phase 2 user, now all four are disabled by default and need to be
  305. enabled with new method names TTLS-PAP, TTLS-CHAP, TTLS-MSCHAP,
  306. TTLS-MSCHAPV2
  307. * removed old debug printing mechanism and the related 'debug'
  308. parameter in the configuration file; debug verbosity is now set with
  309. -d (or -dd) command line arguments
  310. * added support for EAP-IKEv2 (draft-tschofenig-eap-ikev2-15.txt);
  311. only shared key/password authentication is supported in this version
  312. 2007-11-24 - v0.6.1
  313. * added experimental, integrated TLSv1 server implementation with the
  314. needed X.509/ASN.1/RSA/bignum processing (this can be enabled by
  315. setting CONFIG_TLS=internal and CONFIG_INTERNAL_LIBTOMMATH=y in
  316. .config); this can be useful, e.g., if the target system does not
  317. have a suitable TLS library and a minimal code size is required
  318. * added support for EAP-FAST server method to the integrated EAP
  319. server
  320. * updated EAP Generalized Pre-Shared Key (EAP-GPSK) to use the latest
  321. draft (draft-ietf-emu-eap-gpsk-07.txt)
  322. * added a new configuration parameter, rsn_pairwise, to allow different
  323. pairwise cipher suites to be enabled for WPA and RSN/WPA2
  324. (note: if wpa_pairwise differs from rsn_pairwise, the driver will
  325. either need to support this or will have to use the WPA/RSN IEs from
  326. hostapd; currently, the included madwifi and bsd driver interfaces do
  327. not have support for this)
  328. * updated FT support to use the latest draft, IEEE 802.11r/D8.0
  329. 2007-05-28 - v0.6.0
  330. * added experimental IEEE 802.11r/D6.0 support
  331. * updated EAP-SAKE to RFC 4763 and the IANA-allocated EAP type 48
  332. * updated EAP-PSK to use the IANA-allocated EAP type 47
  333. * fixed EAP-PSK bit ordering of the Flags field
  334. * fixed configuration reloading (SIGHUP) to re-initialize WPA PSKs
  335. by reading wpa_psk_file [Bug 181]
  336. * fixed EAP-TTLS AVP parser processing for too short AVP lengths
  337. * fixed IPv6 connection to RADIUS accounting server
  338. * updated EAP Generalized Pre-Shared Key (EAP-GPSK) to use the latest
  339. draft (draft-ietf-emu-eap-gpsk-04.txt)
  340. * hlr_auc_gw: read GSM triplet file into memory and rotate through the
  341. entries instead of only using the same three triplets every time
  342. (this does not work properly with tests using multiple clients, but
  343. provides bit better triplet data for testing a single client; anyway,
  344. if a better quality triplets are needed, GSM-Milenage should be used
  345. instead of hardcoded triplet file)
  346. * fixed EAP-MSCHAPv2 server to use a space between S and M parameters
  347. in Success Request [Bug 203]
  348. * added support for sending EAP-AKA Notifications in error cases
  349. * updated to use IEEE 802.11w/D2.0 for management frame protection
  350. (still experimental)
  351. * RADIUS server: added support for processing duplicate messages
  352. (retransmissions from RADIUS client) by replying with the previous
  353. reply
  354. 2006-11-24 - v0.5.6
  355. * added support for configuring and controlling multiple BSSes per
  356. radio interface (bss=<ifname> in hostapd.conf); this is only
  357. available with Devicescape and test driver interfaces
  358. * fixed PMKSA cache update in the end of successful RSN
  359. pre-authentication
  360. * added support for dynamic VLAN configuration (i.e., selecting VLAN-ID
  361. for each STA based on RADIUS Access-Accept attributes); this requires
  362. VLAN support from the kernel driver/802.11 stack and this is
  363. currently only available with Devicescape and test driver interfaces
  364. * driver_madwifi: fixed configuration of unencrypted modes (plaintext
  365. and IEEE 802.1X without WEP)
  366. * removed STAKey handshake since PeerKey handshake has replaced it in
  367. IEEE 802.11ma and there are no known deployments of STAKey
  368. * updated EAP Generalized Pre-Shared Key (EAP-GPSK) to use the latest
  369. draft (draft-ietf-emu-eap-gpsk-01.txt)
  370. * added preliminary implementation of IEEE 802.11w/D1.0 (management
  371. frame protection)
  372. (Note: this requires driver support to work properly.)
  373. (Note2: IEEE 802.11w is an unapproved draft and subject to change.)
  374. * hlr_auc_gw: added support for GSM-Milenage (for EAP-SIM)
  375. * hlr_auc_gw: added support for reading per-IMSI Milenage keys and
  376. parameters from a text file to make it possible to implement proper
  377. GSM/UMTS authentication server for multiple SIM/USIM cards using
  378. EAP-SIM/EAP-AKA
  379. * fixed session timeout processing with drivers that do not use
  380. ieee802_11.c (e.g., madwifi)
  381. 2006-08-27 - v0.5.5
  382. * added 'hostapd_cli new_sta <addr>' command for adding a new STA into
  383. hostapd (e.g., to initialize wired network authentication based on an
  384. external signal)
  385. * fixed hostapd to add PMKID KDE into 4-Way Handshake Message 1 when
  386. using WPA2 even if PMKSA caching is not used
  387. * added -P<pid file> argument for hostapd to write the current process
  388. id into a file
  389. * added support for RADIUS Authentication Server MIB (RFC 2619)
  390. 2006-06-20 - v0.5.4
  391. * fixed nt_password_hash build [Bug 144]
  392. * added PeerKey handshake implementation for IEEE 802.11e
  393. direct link setup (DLS) to replace STAKey handshake
  394. * added support for EAP Generalized Pre-Shared Key (EAP-GPSK,
  395. draft-clancy-emu-eap-shared-secret-00.txt)
  396. * fixed a segmentation fault when RSN pre-authentication was completed
  397. successfully [Bug 152]
  398. 2006-04-27 - v0.5.3
  399. * do not build nt_password_hash and hlr_auc_gw by default to avoid
  400. requiring a TLS library for a successful build; these programs can be
  401. build with 'make nt_password_hash' and 'make hlr_auc_gw'
  402. * added a new configuration option, eapol_version, that can be used to
  403. set EAPOL version to 1 (default is 2) to work around broken client
  404. implementations that drop EAPOL frames which use version number 2
  405. [Bug 89]
  406. * added support for EAP-SAKE (no EAP method number allocated yet, so
  407. this is using the same experimental type 255 as EAP-PSK)
  408. * fixed EAP-MSCHAPv2 message length validation
  409. 2006-03-19 - v0.5.2
  410. * fixed stdarg use in hostapd_logger(): if both stdout and syslog
  411. logging was enabled, hostapd could trigger a segmentation fault in
  412. vsyslog on some CPU -- C library combinations
  413. * moved HLR/AuC gateway implementation for EAP-SIM/AKA into an external
  414. program to make it easier to use for implementing real SS7 gateway;
  415. eap_sim_db is not anymore used as a file name for GSM authentication
  416. triplets; instead, it is path to UNIX domain socket that will be used
  417. to communicate with the external gateway program (e.g., hlr_auc_gw)
  418. * added example HLR/AuC gateway implementation, hlr_auc_gw, that uses
  419. local information (GSM authentication triplets from a text file and
  420. hardcoded AKA authentication data); this can be used to test EAP-SIM
  421. and EAP-AKA
  422. * added Milenage algorithm (example 3GPP AKA algorithm) to hlr_auc_gw
  423. to make it possible to test EAP-AKA with real USIM cards (this is
  424. disabled by default; define AKA_USE_MILENAGE when building hlr_auc_gw
  425. to enable this)
  426. * driver_madwifi: added support for getting station RSN IE from
  427. madwifi-ng svn r1453 and newer; this fixes RSN that was apparently
  428. broken with earlier change (r1357) in the driver
  429. * changed EAP method registration to use a dynamic list of methods
  430. instead of a static list generated at build time
  431. * fixed WPA message 3/4 not to encrypt Key Data field (WPA IE)
  432. [Bug 125]
  433. * added ap_max_inactivity configuration parameter
  434. 2006-01-29 - v0.5.1
  435. * driver_test: added better support for multiple APs and STAs by using
  436. a directory with sockets that include MAC address for each device in
  437. the name (test_socket=DIR:/tmp/test)
  438. * added support for EAP expanded type (vendor specific EAP methods)
  439. 2005-12-18 - v0.5.0 (beginning of 0.5.x development releases)
  440. * added experimental STAKey handshake implementation for IEEE 802.11e
  441. direct link setup (DLS); note: this is disabled by default in both
  442. build and runtime configuration (can be enabled with CONFIG_STAKEY=y
  443. and stakey=1)
  444. * added support for EAP methods to use callbacks to external programs
  445. by buffering a pending request and processing it after the EAP method
  446. is ready to continue
  447. * improved EAP-SIM database interface to allow external request to GSM
  448. HLR/AuC without blocking hostapd process
  449. * added support for using EAP-SIM pseudonyms and fast re-authentication
  450. * added support for EAP-AKA in the integrated EAP authenticator
  451. * added support for matching EAP identity prefixes (e.g., "1"*) in EAP
  452. user database to allow EAP-SIM/AKA selection without extra roundtrip
  453. for EAP-Nak negotiation
  454. * added support for storing EAP user password as NtPasswordHash instead
  455. of plaintext password when using MSCHAP or MSCHAPv2 for
  456. authentication (hash:<16-octet hex value>); added nt_password_hash
  457. tool for hashing password to generate NtPasswordHash
  458. 2005-11-20 - v0.4.7 (beginning of 0.4.x stable releases)
  459. * driver_wired: fixed EAPOL sending to optionally use PAE group address
  460. as the destination instead of supplicant MAC address; this is
  461. disabled by default, but should be enabled with use_pae_group_addr=1
  462. in configuration file if the wired interface is used by only one
  463. device at the time (common switch configuration)
  464. * driver_madwifi: configure driver to use TKIP countermeasures in order
  465. to get correct behavior (IEEE 802.11 association failing; previously,
  466. association succeeded, but hostpad forced disassociation immediately)
  467. * driver_madwifi: added support for madwifi-ng
  468. 2005-10-27 - v0.4.6
  469. * added support for replacing user identity from EAP with RADIUS
  470. User-Name attribute from Access-Accept message, if that is included,
  471. for the RADIUS accounting messages (e.g., for EAP-PEAP/TTLS to get
  472. tunneled identity into accounting messages when the RADIUS server
  473. does not support better way of doing this with Class attribute)
  474. * driver_madwifi: fixed EAPOL packet receive for configuration where
  475. ath# is part of a bridge interface
  476. * added a configuration file and log analyzer script for logwatch
  477. * fixed EAPOL state machine step function to process all state
  478. transitions before processing new events; this resolves a race
  479. condition in which EAPOL-Start message could trigger hostapd to send
  480. two EAP-Response/Identity frames to the authentication server
  481. 2005-09-25 - v0.4.5
  482. * added client CA list to the TLS certificate request in order to make
  483. it easier for the client to select which certificate to use
  484. * added experimental support for EAP-PSK
  485. * added support for WE-19 (hostap, madwifi)
  486. 2005-08-21 - v0.4.4
  487. * fixed build without CONFIG_RSN_PREAUTH
  488. * fixed FreeBSD build
  489. 2005-06-26 - v0.4.3
  490. * fixed PMKSA caching to copy User-Name and Class attributes so that
  491. RADIUS accounting gets correct information
  492. * start RADIUS accounting only after successful completion of WPA
  493. 4-Way Handshake if WPA-PSK is used
  494. * fixed PMKSA caching for the case where STA (re)associates without
  495. first disassociating
  496. 2005-06-12 - v0.4.2
  497. * EAP-PAX is now registered as EAP type 46
  498. * fixed EAP-PAX MAC calculation
  499. * fixed EAP-PAX CK and ICK key derivation
  500. * renamed eap_authenticator configuration variable to eap_server to
  501. better match with RFC 3748 (EAP) terminology
  502. * driver_test: added support for testing hostapd with wpa_supplicant
  503. by using test driver interface without any kernel drivers or network
  504. cards
  505. 2005-05-22 - v0.4.1
  506. * fixed RADIUS server initialization when only auth or acct server
  507. is configured and the other one is left empty
  508. * driver_madwifi: added support for RADIUS accounting
  509. * driver_madwifi: added preliminary support for compiling against 'BSD'
  510. branch of madwifi CVS tree
  511. * driver_madwifi: fixed pairwise key removal to allow WPA reauth
  512. without disassociation
  513. * added support for reading additional certificates from PKCS#12 files
  514. and adding them to the certificate chain
  515. * fixed RADIUS Class attribute processing to only use Access-Accept
  516. packets to update Class; previously, other RADIUS authentication
  517. packets could have cleared Class attribute
  518. * added support for more than one Class attribute in RADIUS packets
  519. * added support for verifying certificate revocation list (CRL) when
  520. using integrated EAP authenticator for EAP-TLS; new hostapd.conf
  521. options 'check_crl'; CRL must be included in the ca_cert file for now
  522. 2005-04-25 - v0.4.0 (beginning of 0.4.x development releases)
  523. * added support for including network information into
  524. EAP-Request/Identity message (ASCII-0 (nul) in eap_message)
  525. (e.g., to implement draft-adrange-eap-network-discovery-07.txt)
  526. * fixed a bug which caused some RSN pre-authentication cases to use
  527. freed memory and potentially crash hostapd
  528. * fixed private key loading for cases where passphrase is not set
  529. * added support for sending TLS alerts and aborting authentication
  530. when receiving a TLS alert
  531. * fixed WPA2 to add PMKSA cache entry when using integrated EAP
  532. authenticator
  533. * fixed PMKSA caching (EAP authentication was not skipped correctly
  534. with the new state machine changes from IEEE 802.1X draft)
  535. * added support for RADIUS over IPv6; own_ip_addr, auth_server_addr,
  536. and acct_server_addr can now be IPv6 addresses (CONFIG_IPV6=y needs
  537. to be added to .config to include IPv6 support); for RADIUS server,
  538. radius_server_ipv6=1 needs to be set in hostapd.conf and addresses
  539. in RADIUS clients file can then use IPv6 format
  540. * added experimental support for EAP-PAX
  541. * replaced hostapd control interface library (hostapd_ctrl.[ch]) with
  542. the same implementation that wpa_supplicant is using (wpa_ctrl.[ch])
  543. 2005-02-12 - v0.3.7 (beginning of 0.3.x stable releases)
  544. 2005-01-23 - v0.3.5
  545. * added support for configuring a forced PEAP version based on the
  546. Phase 1 identity
  547. * fixed PEAPv1 to use tunneled EAP-Success/Failure instead of EAP-TLV
  548. to terminate authentication
  549. * fixed EAP identifier duplicate processing with the new IEEE 802.1X
  550. draft
  551. * clear accounting data in the driver when starting a new accounting
  552. session
  553. * driver_madwifi: filter wireless events based on ifindex to allow more
  554. than one network interface to be used
  555. * fixed WPA message 2/4 processing not to cancel timeout for TimeoutEvt
  556. setting if the packet does not pass MIC verification (e.g., due to
  557. incorrect PSK); previously, message 1/4 was not tried again if an
  558. invalid message 2/4 was received
  559. * fixed reconfiguration of RADIUS client retransmission timer when
  560. adding a new message to the pending list; previously, timer was not
  561. updated at this point and if there was a pending message with long
  562. time for the next retry, the new message needed to wait that long for
  563. its first retry, too
  564. 2005-01-09 - v0.3.4
  565. * added support for configuring multiple allowed EAP types for Phase 2
  566. authentication (EAP-PEAP, EAP-TTLS)
  567. * fixed EAPOL-Start processing to trigger WPA reauthentication
  568. (previously, only EAPOL authentication was done)
  569. 2005-01-02 - v0.3.3
  570. * added support for EAP-PEAP in the integrated EAP authenticator
  571. * added support for EAP-GTC in the integrated EAP authenticator
  572. * added support for configuring list of EAP methods for Phase 1 so that
  573. the integrated EAP authenticator can, e.g., use the wildcard entry
  574. for EAP-TLS and EAP-PEAP
  575. * added support for EAP-TTLS in the integrated EAP authenticator
  576. * added support for EAP-SIM in the integrated EAP authenticator
  577. * added support for using hostapd as a RADIUS authentication server
  578. with the integrated EAP authenticator taking care of EAP
  579. authentication (new hostapd.conf options: radius_server_clients and
  580. radius_server_auth_port); this is not included in default build; use
  581. CONFIG_RADIUS_SERVER=y in .config to include
  582. 2004-12-19 - v0.3.2
  583. * removed 'daemonize' configuration file option since it has not really
  584. been used at all for more than year
  585. * driver_madwifi: fixed group key setup and added get_ssid method
  586. * added support for EAP-MSCHAPv2 in the integrated EAP authenticator
  587. 2004-12-12 - v0.3.1
  588. * added support for integrated EAP-TLS authentication (new hostapd.conf
  589. variables: ca_cert, server_cert, private_key, private_key_passwd);
  590. this enabled dynamic keying (WPA2/WPA/IEEE 802.1X/WEP) without
  591. external RADIUS server
  592. * added support for reading PKCS#12 (PFX) files (as a replacement for
  593. PEM/DER) to get certificate and private key (CONFIG_PKCS12)
  594. 2004-12-05 - v0.3.0 (beginning of 0.3.x development releases)
  595. * added support for Acct-{Input,Output}-Gigawords
  596. * added support for Event-Timestamp (in RADIUS Accounting-Requests)
  597. * added support for RADIUS Authentication Client MIB (RFC2618)
  598. * added support for RADIUS Accounting Client MIB (RFC2620)
  599. * made EAP re-authentication period configurable (eap_reauth_period)
  600. * fixed EAPOL reauthentication to trigger WPA/WPA2 reauthentication
  601. * fixed EAPOL state machine to stop if STA is removed during
  602. eapol_sm_step(); this fixes at least one segfault triggering bug with
  603. IEEE 802.11i pre-authentication
  604. * added support for multiple WPA pre-shared keys (e.g., one for each
  605. client MAC address or keys shared by a group of clients);
  606. new hostapd.conf field wpa_psk_file for setting path to a text file
  607. containing PSKs, see hostapd.wpa_psk for an example
  608. * added support for multiple driver interfaces to allow hostapd to be
  609. used with other drivers
  610. * added wired authenticator driver interface (driver=wired in
  611. hostapd.conf, see wired.conf for example configuration)
  612. * added madwifi driver interface (driver=madwifi in hostapd.conf, see
  613. madwifi.conf for example configuration; Note: include files from
  614. madwifi project is needed for building and a configuration file,
  615. .config, needs to be created in hostapd directory with
  616. CONFIG_DRIVER_MADWIFI=y to include this driver interface in hostapd
  617. build)
  618. * fixed an alignment issue that could cause SHA-1 to fail on some
  619. platforms (e.g., Intel ixp425 with a compiler that does not 32-bit
  620. align variables)
  621. * fixed RADIUS reconnection after an error in sending interim
  622. accounting packets
  623. * added hostapd control interface for external programs and an example
  624. CLI, hostapd_cli (like wpa_cli for wpa_supplicant)
  625. * started adding dot11, dot1x, radius MIBs ('hostapd_cli mib',
  626. 'hostapd_cli sta <addr>')
  627. * finished update from IEEE 802.1X-2001 to IEEE 802.1X-REV (now d11)
  628. * added support for strict GTK rekeying (wpa_strict_rekey in
  629. hostapd.conf)
  630. * updated IAPP to use UDP port 3517 and multicast address 224.0.1.178
  631. (instead of broadcast) for IAPP ADD-notify (moved from draft 3 to
  632. IEEE 802.11F-2003)
  633. * added Prism54 driver interface (driver=prism54 in hostapd.conf;
  634. note: .config needs to be created in hostapd directory with
  635. CONFIG_DRIVER_PRISM54=y to include this driver interface in hostapd
  636. build)
  637. * dual-licensed hostapd (GPLv2 and BSD licenses)
  638. * fixed RADIUS accounting to generate a new session id for cases where
  639. a station reassociates without first being complete deauthenticated
  640. * fixed STA disassociation handler to mark next timeout state to
  641. deauthenticate the station, i.e., skip long wait for inactivity poll
  642. and extra disassociation, if the STA disassociates without
  643. deauthenticating
  644. * added integrated EAP authenticator that can be used instead of
  645. external RADIUS authentication server; currently, only EAP-MD5 is
  646. supported, so this cannot yet be used for key distribution; the EAP
  647. method interface is generic, though, so adding new EAP methods should
  648. be straightforward; new hostapd.conf variables: 'eap_authenticator'
  649. and 'eap_user_file'; this obsoletes "minimal authentication server"
  650. ('minimal_eap' in hostapd.conf) which is now removed
  651. * added support for FreeBSD and driver interface for the BSD net80211
  652. layer (driver=bsd in hostapd.conf and CONFIG_DRIVER_BSD=y in
  653. .config); please note that some of the required kernel mods have not
  654. yet been committed
  655. 2004-07-17 - v0.2.4 (beginning of 0.2.x stable releases)
  656. * fixed some accounting cases where Accounting-Start was sent when
  657. IEEE 802.1X port was being deauthorized
  658. 2004-06-20 - v0.2.3
  659. * modified RADIUS client to re-connect the socket in case of certain
  660. error codes that are generated when a network interface state is
  661. changes (e.g., when IP address changes or the interface is set UP)
  662. * fixed couple of cases where EAPOL state for a station was freed
  663. twice causing a segfault for hostapd
  664. * fixed couple of bugs in processing WPA deauthentication (freed data
  665. was used)
  666. 2004-05-31 - v0.2.2
  667. * fixed WPA/WPA2 group rekeying to use key index correctly (GN/GM)
  668. * fixed group rekeying to send zero TSC in EAPOL-Key messages to fix
  669. cases where STAs dropped multicast frames as replay attacks
  670. * added support for copying RADIUS Attribute 'Class' from
  671. authentication messages into accounting messages
  672. * send canned EAP failure if RADIUS server sends Access-Reject without
  673. EAP message (previously, Supplicant was not notified in this case)
  674. * fixed mixed WPA-PSK and WPA-EAP mode to work with WPA-PSK (i.e., do
  675. not start EAPOL state machines if the STA selected to use WPA-PSK)
  676. 2004-05-06 - v0.2.1
  677. * added WPA and IEEE 802.11i/RSN (WPA2) Authenticator functionality
  678. - based on IEEE 802.11i/D10.0 but modified to interoperate with WPA
  679. (i.e., IEEE 802.11i/D3.0)
  680. - supports WPA-only, RSN-only, and mixed WPA/RSN mode
  681. - both WPA-PSK and WPA-RADIUS/EAP are supported
  682. - PMKSA caching and pre-authentication
  683. - new hostapd.conf variables: wpa, wpa_psk, wpa_passphrase,
  684. wpa_key_mgmt, wpa_pairwise, wpa_group_rekey, wpa_gmk_rekey,
  685. rsn_preauth, rsn_preauth_interfaces
  686. * fixed interim accounting to remove any pending accounting messages
  687. to the STA before sending a new one
  688. 2004-02-15 - v0.2.0
  689. * added support for Acct-Interim-Interval:
  690. - draft-ietf-radius-acct-interim-01.txt
  691. - use Acct-Interim-Interval attribute from Access-Accept if local
  692. 'radius_acct_interim_interval' is not set
  693. - allow different update intervals for each STA
  694. * fixed event loop to call signal handlers only after returning from
  695. the real signal handler
  696. * reset sta->timeout_next after successful association to make sure
  697. that the previously registered inactivity timer will not remove the
  698. STA immediately (e.g., if STA deauthenticates and re-associates
  699. before the timer is triggered).
  700. * added new hostapd.conf variable, nas_identifier, that can be used to
  701. add an optional RADIUS Attribute, NAS-Identifier, into authentication
  702. and accounting messages
  703. * added support for Accounting-On and Accounting-Off messages
  704. * fixed accounting session handling to send Accounting-Start only once
  705. per session and not to send Accounting-Stop if the session was not
  706. initialized properly
  707. * fixed Accounting-Stop statistics in cases where the message was
  708. previously sent after the kernel entry for the STA (and/or IEEE
  709. 802.1X data) was removed
  710. Note:
  711. Older changes up to and including v0.1.0 are included in the ChangeLog
  712. of the Host AP driver.
