A new CLI monitor was added so that you can keep
an eye on the tarpits over any console, including
telnet and ssh or even a teleprinter. The GUI
monitor interface was improved, adding host
cross-checking and abuse mail/address checking on
whois. A minor change was made to tarpit (special
IPs were added).
This release allows you to be 'naughty' with an attacker's mailto: address, allows you to specify (partial) domains for special treatment, and includes SMTarPit Monitor (uses Perl Tk) to monitor the status of all of the tarpit processes in real time (which is a bit like a slow-race). SMTarPit Monitor allows you to interrogate a tarpit PID for details including rhost IP, and perform a 'host' look-up and a 'whois' with the abuse address highlighted.
This release self-limits instances, responds correctly when SIGINT or SIGPIPE is received, has configurable user time-out, configurable program time-out (you can keep it going for a month if you want), does rough checking of the sender address format, doesn't allow '<>' as a sender address, can be made to dump a buffered log at regular (configured) intervals, and Date format in the log files now includes the year.
