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

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

  542. driver=nl80211)
  543. 2009-11-21 - v0.7.0
  544. * increased hostapd_cli ping interval to 5 seconds and made this

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

  576. 2009-01-06 - v0.6.7
  577. * added support for Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS)
  578. (hostapd can now be configured to act as an integrated WPS Registrar
  579. and provision credentials for WPS Enrollees using PIN and PBC
  580. methods; external wireless Registrar can configure the AP, but
  581. external WLAN Manager Registrars are not supported); WPS support can
  582. be enabled by adding CONFIG_WPS=y into .config and setting the
  583. runtime configuration variables in hostapd.conf (see WPS section in
  584. the example configuration file); new hostapd_cli commands wps_pin and
  585. wps_pbc are used to configure WPS negotiation; see README-WPS for
  586. more details
  587. * added IEEE 802.11n HT capability configuration (ht_capab)

  597. 2008-11-23 - v0.6.6
  598. * added a new configuration option, wpa_ptk_rekey, that can be used to
  599. enforce frequent PTK rekeying, e.g., to mitigate some attacks against
  600. TKIP deficiencies
  601. * updated OpenSSL code for EAP-FAST to use an updated version of the
  602. session ticket overriding API that was included into the upstream
  603. OpenSSL 0.9.9 tree on 2008-11-15 (no additional OpenSSL patch is
  604. needed with that version anymore)
  605. * changed channel flags configuration to read the information from
  606. the driver (e.g., via driver_nl80211 when using mac80211) instead of
  607. using hostapd as the source of the regulatory information (i.e.,
  608. information from CRDA is now used with mac80211); this allows 5 GHz
  609. channels to be used with hostapd (if allowed in the current
  610. regulatory domain)
  611. * fixed EAP-TLS message processing for the last TLS message if it is
  612. large enough to require fragmentation (e.g., if a large Session
  613. Ticket data is included)
  614. * fixed listen interval configuration for nl80211 drivers
  615. 2008-11-01 - v0.6.5
  616. * added support for SHA-256 as X.509 certificate digest when using the
  617. internal X.509/TLSv1 implementation
  618. * fixed EAP-FAST PAC-Opaque padding (0.6.4 broke this for some peer
  619. identity lengths)
  620. * fixed internal TLSv1 implementation for abbreviated handshake (used
  621. by EAP-FAST server)
  622. * added support for setting VLAN ID for STAs based on local MAC ACL
  623. (accept_mac_file) as an alternative for RADIUS server-based
  624. configuration
  625. * updated management frame protection to use IEEE 802.11w/D6.0
  626. (adds a new association ping to protect against unauthenticated
  627. authenticate or (re)associate request frames dropping association)
  628. * added support for using SHA256-based stronger key derivation for WPA2
  629. (IEEE 802.11w)
  630. * added new "driver wrapper" for RADIUS-only configuration
  631. (driver=none in hostapd.conf; CONFIG_DRIVER_NONE=y in .config)
  632. * fixed WPA/RSN IE validation to verify that the proto (WPA vs. WPA2)
  633. is enabled in configuration
  634. * changed EAP-FAST configuration to use separate fields for A-ID and
  635. A-ID-Info (eap_fast_a_id_info) to allow A-ID to be set to a fixed
  636. 16-octet len binary value for better interoperability with some peer
  637. implementations; eap_fast_a_id is now configured as a hex string
  638. * driver_nl80211: Updated to match the current Linux mac80211 AP mode
  639. configuration (wireless-testing.git and Linux kernel releases
  640. starting from 2.6.29)
  641. 2008-08-10 - v0.6.4
  642. * added peer identity into EAP-FAST PAC-Opaque and skip Phase 2
  643. Identity Request if identity is already known
  644. * added support for EAP Sequences in EAP-FAST Phase 2
  645. * added support for EAP-TNC (Trusted Network Connect)
  646. (this version implements the EAP-TNC method and EAP-TTLS/EAP-FAST
  647. changes needed to run two methods in sequence (IF-T) and the IF-IMV
  648. and IF-TNCCS interfaces from TNCS)
  649. * added support for optional cryptobinding with PEAPv0
  650. * added fragmentation support for EAP-TNC
  651. * added support for fragmenting EAP-TTLS/PEAP/FAST Phase 2 (tunneled)
  652. data
  653. * added support for opportunistic key caching (OKC)
  654. 2008-02-22 - v0.6.3
  655. * fixed Reassociation Response callback processing when using internal
  656. MLME (driver_{hostap,nl80211,test}.c)
  657. * updated FT support to use the latest draft, IEEE 802.11r/D9.0
  658. * copy optional Proxy-State attributes into RADIUS response when acting
  659. as a RADIUS authentication server
  660. * fixed EAPOL state machine to handle a case in which no response is
  661. received from the RADIUS authentication server; previous version
  662. could have triggered a crash in some cases after a timeout
  663. * fixed EAP-SIM/AKA realm processing to allow decorated usernames to
  664. be used
  665. * added a workaround for EAP-SIM/AKA peers that include incorrect null
  666. termination in the username
  667. * fixed EAP-SIM/AKA protected result indication to include AT_COUNTER
  668. attribute in notification messages only when using fast
  669. reauthentication
  670. * fixed EAP-SIM Start response processing for fast reauthentication
  671. case
  672. * added support for pending EAP processing in EAP-{PEAP,TTLS,FAST}
  673. phase 2 to allow EAP-SIM and EAP-AKA to be used as the Phase 2 method
  674. 2008-01-01 - v0.6.2
  675. * fixed EAP-SIM and EAP-AKA message parser to validate attribute
  676. lengths properly to avoid potential crash caused by invalid messages
  677. * added data structure for storing allocated buffers (struct wpabuf);
  678. this does not affect hostapd usage, but many of the APIs changed
  679. and various interfaces (e.g., EAP) is not compatible with old
  680. versions
  681. * added support for protecting EAP-AKA/Identity messages with
  682. AT_CHECKCODE (optional feature in RFC 4187)
  683. * added support for protected result indication with AT_RESULT_IND for
  684. EAP-SIM and EAP-AKA (eap_sim_aka_result_ind=1)
  685. * added support for configuring EAP-TTLS phase 2 non-EAP methods in
  686. EAP server configuration; previously all four were enabled for every
  687. phase 2 user, now all four are disabled by default and need to be
  688. enabled with new method names TTLS-PAP, TTLS-CHAP, TTLS-MSCHAP,
  689. TTLS-MSCHAPV2
  690. * removed old debug printing mechanism and the related 'debug'
  691. parameter in the configuration file; debug verbosity is now set with
  692. -d (or -dd) command line arguments
  693. * added support for EAP-IKEv2 (draft-tschofenig-eap-ikev2-15.txt);
  694. only shared key/password authentication is supported in this version
  695. 2007-11-24 - v0.6.1
  696. * added experimental, integrated TLSv1 server implementation with the
  697. needed X.509/ASN.1/RSA/bignum processing (this can be enabled by
  698. setting CONFIG_TLS=internal and CONFIG_INTERNAL_LIBTOMMATH=y in
  699. .config); this can be useful, e.g., if the target system does not
  700. have a suitable TLS library and a minimal code size is required
  701. * added support for EAP-FAST server method to the integrated EAP
  702. server
  703. * updated EAP Generalized Pre-Shared Key (EAP-GPSK) to use the latest
  704. draft (draft-ietf-emu-eap-gpsk-07.txt)
  705. * added a new configuration parameter, rsn_pairwise, to allow different
  706. pairwise cipher suites to be enabled for WPA and RSN/WPA2
  707. (note: if wpa_pairwise differs from rsn_pairwise, the driver will
  708. either need to support this or will have to use the WPA/RSN IEs from
  709. hostapd; currently, the included madwifi and bsd driver interfaces do
  710. not have support for this)
  711. * updated FT support to use the latest draft, IEEE 802.11r/D8.0
  712. 2007-05-28 - v0.6.0
  713. * added experimental IEEE 802.11r/D6.0 support
  714. * updated EAP-SAKE to RFC 4763 and the IANA-allocated EAP type 48
  715. * updated EAP-PSK to use the IANA-allocated EAP type 47
  716. * fixed EAP-PSK bit ordering of the Flags field
  717. * fixed configuration reloading (SIGHUP) to re-initialize WPA PSKs
  718. by reading wpa_psk_file [Bug 181]
  719. * fixed EAP-TTLS AVP parser processing for too short AVP lengths
  720. * fixed IPv6 connection to RADIUS accounting server
  721. * updated EAP Generalized Pre-Shared Key (EAP-GPSK) to use the latest
  722. draft (draft-ietf-emu-eap-gpsk-04.txt)
  723. * hlr_auc_gw: read GSM triplet file into memory and rotate through the
  724. entries instead of only using the same three triplets every time
  725. (this does not work properly with tests using multiple clients, but
  726. provides bit better triplet data for testing a single client; anyway,
  727. if a better quality triplets are needed, GSM-Milenage should be used
  728. instead of hardcoded triplet file)
  729. * fixed EAP-MSCHAPv2 server to use a space between S and M parameters
  730. in Success Request [Bug 203]
  731. * added support for sending EAP-AKA Notifications in error cases
  732. * updated to use IEEE 802.11w/D2.0 for management frame protection
  733. (still experimental)
  734. * RADIUS server: added support for processing duplicate messages
  735. (retransmissions from RADIUS client) by replying with the previous
  736. reply
  737. 2006-11-24 - v0.5.6
  738. * added support for configuring and controlling multiple BSSes per
  739. radio interface (bss=<ifname> in hostapd.conf); this is only
  740. available with Devicescape and test driver interfaces
  741. * fixed PMKSA cache update in the end of successful RSN
  742. pre-authentication
  743. * added support for dynamic VLAN configuration (i.e., selecting VLAN-ID
  744. for each STA based on RADIUS Access-Accept attributes); this requires
  745. VLAN support from the kernel driver/802.11 stack and this is
  746. currently only available with Devicescape and test driver interfaces
  747. * driver_madwifi: fixed configuration of unencrypted modes (plaintext
  748. and IEEE 802.1X without WEP)
  749. * removed STAKey handshake since PeerKey handshake has replaced it in
  750. IEEE 802.11ma and there are no known deployments of STAKey
  751. * updated EAP Generalized Pre-Shared Key (EAP-GPSK) to use the latest
  752. draft (draft-ietf-emu-eap-gpsk-01.txt)
  753. * added preliminary implementation of IEEE 802.11w/D1.0 (management
  754. frame protection)
  755. (Note: this requires driver support to work properly.)
  756. (Note2: IEEE 802.11w is an unapproved draft and subject to change.)
  757. * hlr_auc_gw: added support for GSM-Milenage (for EAP-SIM)
  758. * hlr_auc_gw: added support for reading per-IMSI Milenage keys and
  759. parameters from a text file to make it possible to implement proper
  760. GSM/UMTS authentication server for multiple SIM/USIM cards using
  761. EAP-SIM/EAP-AKA
  762. * fixed session timeout processing with drivers that do not use
  763. ieee802_11.c (e.g., madwifi)
  764. 2006-08-27 - v0.5.5
  765. * added 'hostapd_cli new_sta <addr>' command for adding a new STA into
  766. hostapd (e.g., to initialize wired network authentication based on an
  767. external signal)
  768. * fixed hostapd to add PMKID KDE into 4-Way Handshake Message 1 when
  769. using WPA2 even if PMKSA caching is not used
  770. * added -P<pid file> argument for hostapd to write the current process
  771. id into a file
  772. * added support for RADIUS Authentication Server MIB (RFC 2619)
  773. 2006-06-20 - v0.5.4
  774. * fixed nt_password_hash build [Bug 144]
  775. * added PeerKey handshake implementation for IEEE 802.11e
  776. direct link setup (DLS) to replace STAKey handshake
  777. * added support for EAP Generalized Pre-Shared Key (EAP-GPSK,
  778. draft-clancy-emu-eap-shared-secret-00.txt)
  779. * fixed a segmentation fault when RSN pre-authentication was completed
  780. successfully [Bug 152]
  781. 2006-04-27 - v0.5.3
  782. * do not build nt_password_hash and hlr_auc_gw by default to avoid
  783. requiring a TLS library for a successful build; these programs can be
  784. build with 'make nt_password_hash' and 'make hlr_auc_gw'
  785. * added a new configuration option, eapol_version, that can be used to
  786. set EAPOL version to 1 (default is 2) to work around broken client
  787. implementations that drop EAPOL frames which use version number 2
  788. [Bug 89]
  789. * added support for EAP-SAKE (no EAP method number allocated yet, so
  790. this is using the same experimental type 255 as EAP-PSK)
  791. * fixed EAP-MSCHAPv2 message length validation
  792. 2006-03-19 - v0.5.2
  793. * fixed stdarg use in hostapd_logger(): if both stdout and syslog
  794. logging was enabled, hostapd could trigger a segmentation fault in
  795. vsyslog on some CPU -- C library combinations
  796. * moved HLR/AuC gateway implementation for EAP-SIM/AKA into an external
  797. program to make it easier to use for implementing real SS7 gateway;
  798. eap_sim_db is not anymore used as a file name for GSM authentication
  799. triplets; instead, it is path to UNIX domain socket that will be used
  800. to communicate with the external gateway program (e.g., hlr_auc_gw)
  801. * added example HLR/AuC gateway implementation, hlr_auc_gw, that uses
  802. local information (GSM authentication triplets from a text file and
  803. hardcoded AKA authentication data); this can be used to test EAP-SIM
  804. and EAP-AKA
  805. * added Milenage algorithm (example 3GPP AKA algorithm) to hlr_auc_gw
  806. to make it possible to test EAP-AKA with real USIM cards (this is
  807. disabled by default; define AKA_USE_MILENAGE when building hlr_auc_gw
  808. to enable this)
  809. * driver_madwifi: added support for getting station RSN IE from
  810. madwifi-ng svn r1453 and newer; this fixes RSN that was apparently
  811. broken with earlier change (r1357) in the driver
  812. * changed EAP method registration to use a dynamic list of methods
  813. instead of a static list generated at build time
  814. * fixed WPA message 3/4 not to encrypt Key Data field (WPA IE)
  815. [Bug 125]
  816. * added ap_max_inactivity configuration parameter
  817. 2006-01-29 - v0.5.1
  818. * driver_test: added better support for multiple APs and STAs by using
  819. a directory with sockets that include MAC address for each device in
  820. the name (test_socket=DIR:/tmp/test)
  821. * added support for EAP expanded type (vendor specific EAP methods)
  822. 2005-12-18 - v0.5.0 (beginning of 0.5.x development releases)
  823. * added experimental STAKey handshake implementation for IEEE 802.11e
  824. direct link setup (DLS); note: this is disabled by default in both
  825. build and runtime configuration (can be enabled with CONFIG_STAKEY=y
  826. and stakey=1)
  827. * added support for EAP methods to use callbacks to external programs
  828. by buffering a pending request and processing it after the EAP method
  829. is ready to continue
  830. * improved EAP-SIM database interface to allow external request to GSM
  831. HLR/AuC without blocking hostapd process
  832. * added support for using EAP-SIM pseudonyms and fast re-authentication
  833. * added support for EAP-AKA in the integrated EAP authenticator
  834. * added support for matching EAP identity prefixes (e.g., "1"*) in EAP
  835. user database to allow EAP-SIM/AKA selection without extra roundtrip
  836. for EAP-Nak negotiation
  837. * added support for storing EAP user password as NtPasswordHash instead
  838. of plaintext password when using MSCHAP or MSCHAPv2 for
  839. authentication (hash:<16-octet hex value>); added nt_password_hash
  840. tool for hashing password to generate NtPasswordHash
  841. 2005-11-20 - v0.4.7 (beginning of 0.4.x stable releases)
  842. * driver_wired: fixed EAPOL sending to optionally use PAE group address
  843. as the destination instead of supplicant MAC address; this is
  844. disabled by default, but should be enabled with use_pae_group_addr=1
  845. in configuration file if the wired interface is used by only one
  846. device at the time (common switch configuration)
  847. * driver_madwifi: configure driver to use TKIP countermeasures in order
  848. to get correct behavior (IEEE 802.11 association failing; previously,
  849. association succeeded, but hostpad forced disassociation immediately)
  850. * driver_madwifi: added support for madwifi-ng
  851. 2005-10-27 - v0.4.6
  852. * added support for replacing user identity from EAP with RADIUS
  853. User-Name attribute from Access-Accept message, if that is included,
  854. for the RADIUS accounting messages (e.g., for EAP-PEAP/TTLS to get
  855. tunneled identity into accounting messages when the RADIUS server
  856. does not support better way of doing this with Class attribute)
  857. * driver_madwifi: fixed EAPOL packet receive for configuration where
  858. ath# is part of a bridge interface
  859. * added a configuration file and log analyzer script for logwatch
  860. * fixed EAPOL state machine step function to process all state
  861. transitions before processing new events; this resolves a race
  862. condition in which EAPOL-Start message could trigger hostapd to send
  863. two EAP-Response/Identity frames to the authentication server
  864. 2005-09-25 - v0.4.5
  865. * added client CA list to the TLS certificate request in order to make
  866. it easier for the client to select which certificate to use
  867. * added experimental support for EAP-PSK
  868. * added support for WE-19 (hostap, madwifi)
  869. 2005-08-21 - v0.4.4
  870. * fixed build without CONFIG_RSN_PREAUTH
  871. * fixed FreeBSD build
  872. 2005-06-26 - v0.4.3
  873. * fixed PMKSA caching to copy User-Name and Class attributes so that
  874. RADIUS accounting gets correct information
  875. * start RADIUS accounting only after successful completion of WPA
  876. 4-Way Handshake if WPA-PSK is used
  877. * fixed PMKSA caching for the case where STA (re)associates without
  878. first disassociating
  879. 2005-06-12 - v0.4.2
  880. * EAP-PAX is now registered as EAP type 46
  881. * fixed EAP-PAX MAC calculation
  882. * fixed EAP-PAX CK and ICK key derivation
  883. * renamed eap_authenticator configuration variable to eap_server to
  884. better match with RFC 3748 (EAP) terminology
  885. * driver_test: added support for testing hostapd with wpa_supplicant
  886. by using test driver interface without any kernel drivers or network
  887. cards
  888. 2005-05-22 - v0.4.1
  889. * fixed RADIUS server initialization when only auth or acct server
  890. is configured and the other one is left empty
  891. * driver_madwifi: added support for RADIUS accounting
  892. * driver_madwifi: added preliminary support for compiling against 'BSD'
  893. branch of madwifi CVS tree
  894. * driver_madwifi: fixed pairwise key removal to allow WPA reauth
  895. without disassociation
  896. * added support for reading additional certificates from PKCS#12 files
  897. and adding them to the certificate chain
  898. * fixed RADIUS Class attribute processing to only use Access-Accept
  899. packets to update Class; previously, other RADIUS authentication
  900. packets could have cleared Class attribute
  901. * added support for more than one Class attribute in RADIUS packets
  902. * added support for verifying certificate revocation list (CRL) when
  903. using integrated EAP authenticator for EAP-TLS; new hostapd.conf
  904. options 'check_crl'; CRL must be included in the ca_cert file for now
  905. 2005-04-25 - v0.4.0 (beginning of 0.4.x development releases)
  906. * added support for including network information into
  907. EAP-Request/Identity message (ASCII-0 (nul) in eap_message)
  908. (e.g., to implement draft-adrange-eap-network-discovery-07.txt)
  909. * fixed a bug which caused some RSN pre-authentication cases to use
  910. freed memory and potentially crash hostapd
  911. * fixed private key loading for cases where passphrase is not set
  912. * added support for sending TLS alerts and aborting authentication
  913. when receiving a TLS alert
  914. * fixed WPA2 to add PMKSA cache entry when using integrated EAP
  915. authenticator
  916. * fixed PMKSA caching (EAP authentication was not skipped correctly
  917. with the new state machine changes from IEEE 802.1X draft)
  918. * added support for RADIUS over IPv6; own_ip_addr, auth_server_addr,
  919. and acct_server_addr can now be IPv6 addresses (CONFIG_IPV6=y needs
  920. to be added to .config to include IPv6 support); for RADIUS server,
  921. radius_server_ipv6=1 needs to be set in hostapd.conf and addresses
  922. in RADIUS clients file can then use IPv6 format
  923. * added experimental support for EAP-PAX
  924. * replaced hostapd control interface library (hostapd_ctrl.[ch]) with
  925. the same implementation that wpa_supplicant is using (wpa_ctrl.[ch])
  926. 2005-02-12 - v0.3.7 (beginning of 0.3.x stable releases)
  927. 2005-01-23 - v0.3.5
  928. * added support for configuring a forced PEAP version based on the
  929. Phase 1 identity
  930. * fixed PEAPv1 to use tunneled EAP-Success/Failure instead of EAP-TLV
  931. to terminate authentication
  932. * fixed EAP identifier duplicate processing with the new IEEE 802.1X
  933. draft
  934. * clear accounting data in the driver when starting a new accounting
  935. session
  936. * driver_madwifi: filter wireless events based on ifindex to allow more
  937. than one network interface to be used
  938. * fixed WPA message 2/4 processing not to cancel timeout for TimeoutEvt
  939. setting if the packet does not pass MIC verification (e.g., due to
  940. incorrect PSK); previously, message 1/4 was not tried again if an
  941. invalid message 2/4 was received
  942. * fixed reconfiguration of RADIUS client retransmission timer when
  943. adding a new message to the pending list; previously, timer was not
  944. updated at this point and if there was a pending message with long
  945. time for the next retry, the new message needed to wait that long for
  946. its first retry, too
  947. 2005-01-09 - v0.3.4
  948. * added support for configuring multiple allowed EAP types for Phase 2
  949. authentication (EAP-PEAP, EAP-TTLS)
  950. * fixed EAPOL-Start processing to trigger WPA reauthentication
  951. (previously, only EAPOL authentication was done)
  952. 2005-01-02 - v0.3.3
  953. * added support for EAP-PEAP in the integrated EAP authenticator
  954. * added support for EAP-GTC in the integrated EAP authenticator
  955. * added support for configuring list of EAP methods for Phase 1 so that
  956. the integrated EAP authenticator can, e.g., use the wildcard entry
  957. for EAP-TLS and EAP-PEAP
  958. * added support for EAP-TTLS in the integrated EAP authenticator
  959. * added support for EAP-SIM in the integrated EAP authenticator
  960. * added support for using hostapd as a RADIUS authentication server
  961. with the integrated EAP authenticator taking care of EAP
  962. authentication (new hostapd.conf options: radius_server_clients and
  963. radius_server_auth_port); this is not included in default build; use
  964. CONFIG_RADIUS_SERVER=y in .config to include
  965. 2004-12-19 - v0.3.2
  966. * removed 'daemonize' configuration file option since it has not really
  967. been used at all for more than year
  968. * driver_madwifi: fixed group key setup and added get_ssid method
  969. * added support for EAP-MSCHAPv2 in the integrated EAP authenticator
  970. 2004-12-12 - v0.3.1
  971. * added support for integrated EAP-TLS authentication (new hostapd.conf
  972. variables: ca_cert, server_cert, private_key, private_key_passwd);
  973. this enabled dynamic keying (WPA2/WPA/IEEE 802.1X/WEP) without
  974. external RADIUS server
  975. * added support for reading PKCS#12 (PFX) files (as a replacement for
  976. PEM/DER) to get certificate and private key (CONFIG_PKCS12)
  977. 2004-12-05 - v0.3.0 (beginning of 0.3.x development releases)
  978. * added support for Acct-{Input,Output}-Gigawords
  979. * added support for Event-Timestamp (in RADIUS Accounting-Requests)
  980. * added support for RADIUS Authentication Client MIB (RFC2618)
  981. * added support for RADIUS Accounting Client MIB (RFC2620)
  982. * made EAP re-authentication period configurable (eap_reauth_period)
  983. * fixed EAPOL reauthentication to trigger WPA/WPA2 reauthentication
  984. * fixed EAPOL state machine to stop if STA is removed during
  985. eapol_sm_step(); this fixes at least one segfault triggering bug with
  986. IEEE 802.11i pre-authentication
  987. * added support for multiple WPA pre-shared keys (e.g., one for each
  988. client MAC address or keys shared by a group of clients);
  989. new hostapd.conf field wpa_psk_file for setting path to a text file
  990. containing PSKs, see hostapd.wpa_psk for an example
  991. * added support for multiple driver interfaces to allow hostapd to be
  992. used with other drivers
  993. * added wired authenticator driver interface (driver=wired in
  994. hostapd.conf, see wired.conf for example configuration)
  995. * added madwifi driver interface (driver=madwifi in hostapd.conf, see
  996. madwifi.conf for example configuration; Note: include files from
  997. madwifi project is needed for building and a configuration file,
  998. .config, needs to be created in hostapd directory with
  999. CONFIG_DRIVER_MADWIFI=y to include this driver interface in hostapd
  1000. build)
  1001. * fixed an alignment issue that could cause SHA-1 to fail on some
  1002. platforms (e.g., Intel ixp425 with a compiler that does not 32-bit
  1003. align variables)
  1004. * fixed RADIUS reconnection after an error in sending interim
  1005. accounting packets
  1006. * added hostapd control interface for external programs and an example
  1007. CLI, hostapd_cli (like wpa_cli for wpa_supplicant)
  1008. * started adding dot11, dot1x, radius MIBs ('hostapd_cli mib',
  1009. 'hostapd_cli sta <addr>')
  1010. * finished update from IEEE 802.1X-2001 to IEEE 802.1X-REV (now d11)
  1011. * added support for strict GTK rekeying (wpa_strict_rekey in
  1012. hostapd.conf)
  1013. * updated IAPP to use UDP port 3517 and multicast address 224.0.1.178
  1014. (instead of broadcast) for IAPP ADD-notify (moved from draft 3 to
  1015. IEEE 802.11F-2003)
  1016. * added Prism54 driver interface (driver=prism54 in hostapd.conf;
  1017. note: .config needs to be created in hostapd directory with
  1018. CONFIG_DRIVER_PRISM54=y to include this driver interface in hostapd
  1019. build)
  1020. * dual-licensed hostapd (GPLv2 and BSD licenses)
  1021. * fixed RADIUS accounting to generate a new session id for cases where
  1022. a station reassociates without first being complete deauthenticated
  1023. * fixed STA disassociation handler to mark next timeout state to
  1024. deauthenticate the station, i.e., skip long wait for inactivity poll
  1025. and extra disassociation, if the STA disassociates without
  1026. deauthenticating
  1027. * added integrated EAP authenticator that can be used instead of
  1028. external RADIUS authentication server; currently, only EAP-MD5 is
  1029. supported, so this cannot yet be used for key distribution; the EAP
  1030. method interface is generic, though, so adding new EAP methods should
  1031. be straightforward; new hostapd.conf variables: 'eap_authenticator'
  1032. and 'eap_user_file'; this obsoletes "minimal authentication server"
  1033. ('minimal_eap' in hostapd.conf) which is now removed
  1034. * added support for FreeBSD and driver interface for the BSD net80211
  1035. layer (driver=bsd in hostapd.conf and CONFIG_DRIVER_BSD=y in
  1036. .config); please note that some of the required kernel mods have not
  1037. yet been committed
  1038. 2004-07-17 - v0.2.4 (beginning of 0.2.x stable releases)
  1039. * fixed some accounting cases where Accounting-Start was sent when
  1040. IEEE 802.1X port was being deauthorized
  1041. 2004-06-20 - v0.2.3
  1042. * modified RADIUS client to re-connect the socket in case of certain
  1043. error codes that are generated when a network interface state is
  1044. changes (e.g., when IP address changes or the interface is set UP)
  1045. * fixed couple of cases where EAPOL state for a station was freed
  1046. twice causing a segfault for hostapd
  1047. * fixed couple of bugs in processing WPA deauthentication (freed data
  1048. was used)
  1049. 2004-05-31 - v0.2.2
  1050. * fixed WPA/WPA2 group rekeying to use key index correctly (GN/GM)
  1051. * fixed group rekeying to send zero TSC in EAPOL-Key messages to fix
  1052. cases where STAs dropped multicast frames as replay attacks
  1053. * added support for copying RADIUS Attribute 'Class' from
  1054. authentication messages into accounting messages
  1055. * send canned EAP failure if RADIUS server sends Access-Reject without
  1056. EAP message (previously, Supplicant was not notified in this case)
  1057. * fixed mixed WPA-PSK and WPA-EAP mode to work with WPA-PSK (i.e., do
  1058. not start EAPOL state machines if the STA selected to use WPA-PSK)
  1059. 2004-05-06 - v0.2.1
  1060. * added WPA and IEEE 802.11i/RSN (WPA2) Authenticator functionality
  1061. - based on IEEE 802.11i/D10.0 but modified to interoperate with WPA
  1062. (i.e., IEEE 802.11i/D3.0)
  1063. - supports WPA-only, RSN-only, and mixed WPA/RSN mode
  1064. - both WPA-PSK and WPA-RADIUS/EAP are supported
  1065. - PMKSA caching and pre-authentication
  1066. - new hostapd.conf variables: wpa, wpa_psk, wpa_passphrase,
  1067. wpa_key_mgmt, wpa_pairwise, wpa_group_rekey, wpa_gmk_rekey,
  1068. rsn_preauth, rsn_preauth_interfaces
  1069. * fixed interim accounting to remove any pending accounting messages
  1070. to the STA before sending a new one
  1071. 2004-02-15 - v0.2.0
  1072. * added support for Acct-Interim-Interval:
  1073. - draft-ietf-radius-acct-interim-01.txt
  1074. - use Acct-Interim-Interval attribute from Access-Accept if local
  1075. 'radius_acct_interim_interval' is not set
  1076. - allow different update intervals for each STA
  1077. * fixed event loop to call signal handlers only after returning from
  1078. the real signal handler
  1079. * reset sta->timeout_next after successful association to make sure
  1080. that the previously registered inactivity timer will not remove the
  1081. STA immediately (e.g., if STA deauthenticates and re-associates
  1082. before the timer is triggered).
  1083. * added new hostapd.conf variable, nas_identifier, that can be used to
  1084. add an optional RADIUS Attribute, NAS-Identifier, into authentication
  1085. and accounting messages
  1086. * added support for Accounting-On and Accounting-Off messages
  1087. * fixed accounting session handling to send Accounting-Start only once
  1088. per session and not to send Accounting-Stop if the session was not
  1089. initialized properly
  1090. * fixed Accounting-Stop statistics in cases where the message was
  1091. previously sent after the kernel entry for the STA (and/or IEEE
  1092. 802.1X data) was removed
  1093. Note:
  1094. Older changes up to and including v0.1.0 are included in the ChangeLog
  1095. of the Host AP driver.
