JM
5032012-05-10 - v1.0
504 * Add channel selection support in hostapd. See hostapd.conf.
505 * Add support for IEEE 802.11v Time Advertisement mechanism with UTC
506 TSF offset. See hostapd.conf for config info.
507 * Delay STA entry removal until Deauth/Disassoc TX status in AP mode.
508 This allows the driver to use PS buffering of Deauthentication and
509 Disassociation frames when the STA is in power save sleep. Only
510 available with drivers that provide TX status events for Deauth/
511 Disassoc frames (nl80211).
512 * Allow PMKSA caching to be disabled on the Authenticator. See
513 hostap.conf config parameter disable_pmksa_caching.
514 * atheros: Add support for IEEE 802.11w configuration.
515 * bsd: Add support for setting HT values in IFM_MMASK.
516 * Allow client isolation to be configured with ap_isolate. Client
517 isolation can be used to prevent low-level bridging of frames
518 between associated stations in the BSS. By default, this bridging
519 is allowed.
520 * Allow coexistance of HT BSSes with WEP/TKIP BSSes.
521 * Add require_ht config parameter, which can be used to configure
522 hostapd to reject association with any station that does not support
523 HT PHY.
524 * Add support for writing debug log to a file using "-f" option. Also
525 add relog CLI command to re-open the log file.
526 * Add bridge handling for WDS STA interfaces. By default they are
527 added to the configured bridge of the AP interface (if present),
528 but the user can also specify a separate bridge using cli command
529 wds_bridge.
530 * hostapd_cli:
531 - Add wds_bridge command for specifying bridge for WDS STA
532 interfaces.
533 - Add relog command for reopening log file.
534 - Send AP-STA-DISCONNECTED event when an AP disconnects a station
535 due to inactivity.
536 - Add wps_config ctrl_interface command for configuring AP. This
537 command can be used to configure the AP using the internal WPS
538 registrar. It works in the same way as new AP settings received
539 from an ER.
540 - Many WPS/WPS ER commands - see WPS/WPS ER sections for details.
541 - Add command get version, that returns hostapd version string.
542 * WNM: Add BSS Transition Management Request for ESS Disassoc Imminent.
543 Use hostapd_cli ess_disassoc (STA addr) (URL) to send the
544 notification to the STA.
545 * Allow AP mode to disconnect STAs based on low ACK condition (when
546 the data connection is not working properly, e.g., due to the STA
547 going outside the range of the AP). Disabled by default, enable by
548 config option disassoc_low_ack.
549 * Add WPA_IGNORE_CONFIG_ERRORS build option to continue in case of bad
550 config file.
551 * WPS:
552 - Send AP Settings as a wrapped Credential attribute to ctrl_iface
553 in WPS-NEW-AP-SETTINGS.
554 - Dispatch more WPS events through hostapd ctrl_iface.
555 - Add mechanism for indicating non-standard WPS errors.
556 - Change concurrent radio AP to use only one WPS UPnP instance.
557 - Add wps_check_pin command for processing PIN from user input.
558 UIs can use this command to process a PIN entered by a user and to
559 validate the checksum digit (if present).
560 - Add hostap_cli get_config command to display current AP config.
561 - Add new hostapd_cli command, wps_ap_pin, to manage AP PIN at
562 runtime and support dynamic AP PIN management.
563 - Disable AP PIN after 10 consecutive failures. Slow down attacks
564 on failures up to 10.
565 - Allow AP to start in Enrollee mode without AP PIN for probing,
566 to be compatible with Windows 7.
567 - Add Config Error into WPS-FAIL events to provide more info
568 to the user on how to resolve the issue.
569 - When controlling multiple interfaces:
570 - apply WPS commands to all interfaces configured to use WPS
571 - apply WPS config changes to all interfaces that use WPS
572 - when an attack is detected on any interface, disable AP PIN on
573 all interfaces
574 * WPS ER:
575 - Show SetSelectedRegistrar events as ctrl_iface events.
576 - Add special AP Setup Locked mode to allow read only ER.
577 ap_setup_locked=2 can now be used to enable a special mode where
578 WPS ER can learn the current AP settings, but cannot change them.
579 * WPS 2.0: Add support for WPS 2.0 (CONFIG_WPS2)
580 - Add build option CONFIG_WPS_EXTENSIBILITY_TESTING to enable tool
581 for testing protocol extensibility.
582 - Add build option CONFIG_WPS_STRICT to allow disabling of WPS
583 workarounds.
584 - Add support for AuthorizedMACs attribute.
585 * TDLS:
586 - Allow TDLS use or TDLS channel switching in the BSS to be
587 prohibited in the BSS, using config params tdls_prohibit and
588 tdls_prohibit_chan_switch.
589 * EAP server: Add support for configuring fragment size (see
590 fragment_size in hostapd.conf).
591 * wlantest: Add a tool wlantest for IEEE802.11 protocol testing.
592 wlantest can be used to capture frames from a monitor interface
593 for realtime capturing or from pcap files for offline analysis.
594 * Interworking: Support added for 802.11u. Enable in .config with
595 CONFIG_INTERWORKING. See hostapd.conf for config parameters for
596 interworking.
597 * Android: Add build and runtime support for Android hostapd.
598 * Add a new debug message level for excessive information. Use
599 -ddd to enable.
600 * TLS: Add support for tls_disable_time_checks=1 in client mode.
601 * Internal TLS:
602 - Add support for TLS v1.1 (RFC 4346). Enable with build parameter
603 CONFIG_TLSV11.
604 - Add domainComponent parser for X.509 names
605 * Reorder some IEs to get closer to IEEE 802.11 standard. Move
606 WMM into end of Beacon, Probe Resp and (Re)Assoc Resp frames.
607 Move HT IEs to be later in (Re)Assoc Resp.
608 * Many bugfixes.

700 (hostapd can now be configured to act as an integrated WPS Registrar
701 and provision credentials for WPS Enrollees using PIN and PBC
6f78f2fb
JM
702 methods; external wireless Registrar can configure the AP, but
703 external WLAN Manager Registrars are not supported); WPS support can
ad08c363
JM
704 be enabled by adding CONFIG_WPS=y into .config and setting the
705 runtime configuration variables in hostapd.conf (see WPS section in
706 the example configuration file); new hostapd_cli commands wps_pin and
30f5c941 707 wps_pbc are used to configure WPS negotiation; see README-WPS for
ad08c363 708 more details
fc14f567 709 * added IEEE 802.11n HT capability configuration (ht_capab)

722 enforce frequent PTK rekeying, e.g., to mitigate some attacks against
723 TKIP deficiencies
0cf03892
JM
724 * updated OpenSSL code for EAP-FAST to use an updated version of the
725 session ticket overriding API that was included into the upstream
726 OpenSSL 0.9.9 tree on 2008-11-15 (no additional OpenSSL patch is
727 needed with that version anymore)
10b83bd7
JM
728 * changed channel flags configuration to read the information from
729 the driver (e.g., via driver_nl80211 when using mac80211) instead of
730 using hostapd as the source of the regulatory information (i.e.,
731 information from CRDA is now used with mac80211); this allows 5 GHz
732 channels to be used with hostapd (if allowed in the current
733 regulatory domain)
012783f1

757 is enabled in configuration
2d867244
JM
758 * changed EAP-FAST configuration to use separate fields for A-ID and
759 A-ID-Info (eap_fast_a_id_info) to allow A-ID to be set to a fixed
760 16-octet len binary value for better interoperability with some peer
761 implementations; eap_fast_a_id is now configured as a hex string
07d44bee
JM
762 * driver_nl80211: Updated to match the current Linux mac80211 AP mode
763 configuration (wireless-testing.git and Linux kernel releases

502a293e
JM
770 * added support for EAP-TNC (Trusted Network Connect)
771 (this version implements the EAP-TNC method and EAP-TTLS/EAP-FAST
772 changes needed to run two methods in sequence (IF-T) and the IF-IMV
773 and IF-TNCCS interfaces from TNCS)

783 * updated FT support to use the latest draft, IEEE 802.11r/D9.0
784 * copy optional Proxy-State attributes into RADIUS response when acting
785 as a RADIUS authentication server
786 * fixed EAPOL state machine to handle a case in which no response is
787 received from the RADIUS authentication server; previous version
788 could have triggered a crash in some cases after a timeout
789 * fixed EAP-SIM/AKA realm processing to allow decorated usernames to
790 be used
791 * added a workaround for EAP-SIM/AKA peers that include incorrect null
792 termination in the username
793 * fixed EAP-SIM/AKA protected result indication to include AT_COUNTER
794 attribute in notification messages only when using fast
795 reauthentication
796 * fixed EAP-SIM Start response processing for fast reauthentication
797 case
798 * added support for pending EAP processing in EAP-{PEAP,TTLS,FAST}
799 phase 2 to allow EAP-SIM and EAP-AKA to be used as the Phase 2 method
800
8012008-01-01 - v0.6.2
802 * fixed EAP-SIM and EAP-AKA message parser to validate attribute
803 lengths properly to avoid potential crash caused by invalid messages
804 * added data structure for storing allocated buffers (struct wpabuf);
805 this does not affect hostapd usage, but many of the APIs changed
806 and various interfaces (e.g., EAP) is not compatible with old
807 versions
808 * added support for protecting EAP-AKA/Identity messages with
809 AT_CHECKCODE (optional feature in RFC 4187)
810 * added support for protected result indication with AT_RESULT_IND for
811 EAP-SIM and EAP-AKA (eap_sim_aka_result_ind=1)
812 * added support for configuring EAP-TTLS phase 2 non-EAP methods in
813 EAP server configuration; previously all four were enabled for every
814 phase 2 user, now all four are disabled by default and need to be
815 enabled with new method names TTLS-PAP, TTLS-CHAP, TTLS-MSCHAP,
816 TTLS-MSCHAPV2
817 * removed old debug printing mechanism and the related 'debug'
818 parameter in the configuration file; debug verbosity is now set with
819 -d (or -dd) command line arguments
820 * added support for EAP-IKEv2 (draft-tschofenig-eap-ikev2-15.txt);
821 only shared key/password authentication is supported in this version
822
8232007-11-24 - v0.6.1
824 * added experimental, integrated TLSv1 server implementation with the
825 needed X.509/ASN.1/RSA/bignum processing (this can be enabled by
826 setting CONFIG_TLS=internal and CONFIG_INTERNAL_LIBTOMMATH=y in
827 .config); this can be useful, e.g., if the target system does not
828 have a suitable TLS library and a minimal code size is required
829 * added support for EAP-FAST server method to the integrated EAP
830 server
831 * updated EAP Generalized Pre-Shared Key (EAP-GPSK) to use the latest
832 draft (draft-ietf-emu-eap-gpsk-07.txt)
833 * added a new configuration parameter, rsn_pairwise, to allow different
834 pairwise cipher suites to be enabled for WPA and RSN/WPA2
835 (note: if wpa_pairwise differs from rsn_pairwise, the driver will
836 either need to support this or will have to use the WPA/RSN IEs from
837 hostapd; currently, the included madwifi and bsd driver interfaces do
838 not have support for this)
839 * updated FT support to use the latest draft, IEEE 802.11r/D8.0
840
8412007-05-28 - v0.6.0
842 * added experimental IEEE 802.11r/D6.0 support

846 * fixed configuration reloading (SIGHUP) to re-initialize WPA PSKs
847 by reading wpa_psk_file [Bug 181]
848 * fixed EAP-TTLS AVP parser processing for too short AVP lengths
849 * fixed IPv6 connection to RADIUS accounting server
850 * updated EAP Generalized Pre-Shared Key (EAP-GPSK) to use the latest
851 draft (draft-ietf-emu-eap-gpsk-04.txt)
852 * hlr_auc_gw: read GSM triplet file into memory and rotate through the
853 entries instead of only using the same three triplets every time
854 (this does not work properly with tests using multiple clients, but
855 provides bit better triplet data for testing a single client; anyway,
856 if a better quality triplets are needed, GSM-Milenage should be used
857 instead of hardcoded triplet file)
858 * fixed EAP-MSCHAPv2 server to use a space between S and M parameters
859 in Success Request [Bug 203]
860 * added support for sending EAP-AKA Notifications in error cases
861 * updated to use IEEE 802.11w/D2.0 for management frame protection
862 (still experimental)
863 * RADIUS server: added support for processing duplicate messages
864 (retransmissions from RADIUS client) by replying with the previous
865 reply
866
8672006-11-24 - v0.5.6
868 * added support for configuring and controlling multiple BSSes per
869 radio interface (bss=<ifname> in hostapd.conf); this is only
870 available with Devicescape and test driver interfaces
871 * fixed PMKSA cache update in the end of successful RSN
872 pre-authentication
873 * added support for dynamic VLAN configuration (i.e., selecting VLAN-ID
874 for each STA based on RADIUS Access-Accept attributes); this requires
875 VLAN support from the kernel driver/802.11 stack and this is
876 currently only available with Devicescape and test driver interfaces
877 * driver_madwifi: fixed configuration of unencrypted modes (plaintext
878 and IEEE 802.1X without WEP)
879 * removed STAKey handshake since PeerKey handshake has replaced it in
880 IEEE 802.11ma and there are no known deployments of STAKey
881 * updated EAP Generalized Pre-Shared Key (EAP-GPSK) to use the latest
882 draft (draft-ietf-emu-eap-gpsk-01.txt)
883 * added preliminary implementation of IEEE 802.11w/D1.0 (management
884 frame protection)
885 (Note: this requires driver support to work properly.)
886 (Note2: IEEE 802.11w is an unapproved draft and subject to change.)
887 * hlr_auc_gw: added support for GSM-Milenage (for EAP-SIM)
888 * hlr_auc_gw: added support for reading per-IMSI Milenage keys and
889 parameters from a text file to make it possible to implement proper
890 GSM/UMTS authentication server for multiple SIM/USIM cards using
891 EAP-SIM/EAP-AKA
892 * fixed session timeout processing with drivers that do not use
893 ieee802_11.c (e.g., madwifi)
894
8952006-08-27 - v0.5.5
896 * added 'hostapd_cli new_sta <addr>' command for adding a new STA into
897 hostapd (e.g., to initialize wired network authentication based on an
898 external signal)
899 * fixed hostapd to add PMKID KDE into 4-Way Handshake Message 1 when
900 using WPA2 even if PMKSA caching is not used
901 * added -P<pid file> argument for hostapd to write the current process
902 id into a file
903 * added support for RADIUS Authentication Server MIB (RFC 2619)
904
9052006-06-20 - v0.5.4
906 * fixed nt_password_hash build [Bug 144]
907 * added PeerKey handshake implementation for IEEE 802.11e
908 direct link setup (DLS) to replace STAKey handshake
909 * added support for EAP Generalized Pre-Shared Key (EAP-GPSK,
910 draft-clancy-emu-eap-shared-secret-00.txt)
911 * fixed a segmentation fault when RSN pre-authentication was completed
912 successfully [Bug 152]
913
9142006-04-27 - v0.5.3
915 * do not build nt_password_hash and hlr_auc_gw by default to avoid
916 requiring a TLS library for a successful build; these programs can be
917 build with 'make nt_password_hash' and 'make hlr_auc_gw'
918 * added a new configuration option, eapol_version, that can be used to
919 set EAPOL version to 1 (default is 2) to work around broken client
920 implementations that drop EAPOL frames which use version number 2
921 [Bug 89]
922 * added support for EAP-SAKE (no EAP method number allocated yet, so
923 this is using the same experimental type 255 as EAP-PSK)
924 * fixed EAP-MSCHAPv2 message length validation
925
9262006-03-19 - v0.5.2
927 * fixed stdarg use in hostapd_logger(): if both stdout and syslog
928 logging was enabled, hostapd could trigger a segmentation fault in
929 vsyslog on some CPU -- C library combinations
930 * moved HLR/AuC gateway implementation for EAP-SIM/AKA into an external
931 program to make it easier to use for implementing real SS7 gateway;
932 eap_sim_db is not anymore used as a file name for GSM authentication
933 triplets; instead, it is path to UNIX domain socket that will be used
934 to communicate with the external gateway program (e.g., hlr_auc_gw)
935 * added example HLR/AuC gateway implementation, hlr_auc_gw, that uses
936 local information (GSM authentication triplets from a text file and
937 hardcoded AKA authentication data); this can be used to test EAP-SIM
938 and EAP-AKA
939 * added Milenage algorithm (example 3GPP AKA algorithm) to hlr_auc_gw
940 to make it possible to test EAP-AKA with real USIM cards (this is
941 disabled by default; define AKA_USE_MILENAGE when building hlr_auc_gw
942 to enable this)
943 * driver_madwifi: added support for getting station RSN IE from
944 madwifi-ng svn r1453 and newer; this fixes RSN that was apparently
945 broken with earlier change (r1357) in the driver
946 * changed EAP method registration to use a dynamic list of methods
947 instead of a static list generated at build time
948 * fixed WPA message 3/4 not to encrypt Key Data field (WPA IE)
949 [Bug 125]
950 * added ap_max_inactivity configuration parameter
951
9522006-01-29 - v0.5.1
953 * driver_test: added better support for multiple APs and STAs by using
954 a directory with sockets that include MAC address for each device in
955 the name (test_socket=DIR:/tmp/test)
956 * added support for EAP expanded type (vendor specific EAP methods)
957
9582005-12-18 - v0.5.0 (beginning of 0.5.x development releases)
959 * added experimental STAKey handshake implementation for IEEE 802.11e
960 direct link setup (DLS); note: this is disabled by default in both
961 build and runtime configuration (can be enabled with CONFIG_STAKEY=y
962 and stakey=1)
963 * added support for EAP methods to use callbacks to external programs
964 by buffering a pending request and processing it after the EAP method
965 is ready to continue
966 * improved EAP-SIM database interface to allow external request to GSM
967 HLR/AuC without blocking hostapd process
968 * added support for using EAP-SIM pseudonyms and fast re-authentication
969 * added support for EAP-AKA in the integrated EAP authenticator
970 * added support for matching EAP identity prefixes (e.g., "1"*) in EAP
971 user database to allow EAP-SIM/AKA selection without extra roundtrip
972 for EAP-Nak negotiation
973 * added support for storing EAP user password as NtPasswordHash instead
974 of plaintext password when using MSCHAP or MSCHAPv2 for
975 authentication (hash:<16-octet hex value>); added nt_password_hash
976 tool for hashing password to generate NtPasswordHash
977
9782005-11-20 - v0.4.7 (beginning of 0.4.x stable releases)
979 * driver_wired: fixed EAPOL sending to optionally use PAE group address
980 as the destination instead of supplicant MAC address; this is
981 disabled by default, but should be enabled with use_pae_group_addr=1
982 in configuration file if the wired interface is used by only one
983 device at the time (common switch configuration)
984 * driver_madwifi: configure driver to use TKIP countermeasures in order
985 to get correct behavior (IEEE 802.11 association failing; previously,
986 association succeeded, but hostpad forced disassociation immediately)
987 * driver_madwifi: added support for madwifi-ng
988
9892005-10-27 - v0.4.6
990 * added support for replacing user identity from EAP with RADIUS
991 User-Name attribute from Access-Accept message, if that is included,
992 for the RADIUS accounting messages (e.g., for EAP-PEAP/TTLS to get
993 tunneled identity into accounting messages when the RADIUS server
994 does not support better way of doing this with Class attribute)
995 * driver_madwifi: fixed EAPOL packet receive for configuration where
996 ath# is part of a bridge interface
997 * added a configuration file and log analyzer script for logwatch
998 * fixed EAPOL state machine step function to process all state
999 transitions before processing new events; this resolves a race
1000 condition in which EAPOL-Start message could trigger hostapd to send
1001 two EAP-Response/Identity frames to the authentication server
1002
10032005-09-25 - v0.4.5
1004 * added client CA list to the TLS certificate request in order to make
1005 it easier for the client to select which certificate to use
1006 * added experimental support for EAP-PSK
1007 * added support for WE-19 (hostap, madwifi)
1008
10092005-08-21 - v0.4.4
1010 * fixed build without CONFIG_RSN_PREAUTH
1011 * fixed FreeBSD build
1012
10132005-06-26 - v0.4.3
1014 * fixed PMKSA caching to copy User-Name and Class attributes so that
1015 RADIUS accounting gets correct information
1016 * start RADIUS accounting only after successful completion of WPA
1017 4-Way Handshake if WPA-PSK is used
1018 * fixed PMKSA caching for the case where STA (re)associates without
1019 first disassociating
1020
10212005-06-12 - v0.4.2
1022 * EAP-PAX is now registered as EAP type 46
1023 * fixed EAP-PAX MAC calculation
1024 * fixed EAP-PAX CK and ICK key derivation
1025 * renamed eap_authenticator configuration variable to eap_server to
1026 better match with RFC 3748 (EAP) terminology
1027 * driver_test: added support for testing hostapd with wpa_supplicant
1028 by using test driver interface without any kernel drivers or network
1029 cards
1030
10312005-05-22 - v0.4.1
1032 * fixed RADIUS server initialization when only auth or acct server
1033 is configured and the other one is left empty
1034 * driver_madwifi: added support for RADIUS accounting
1035 * driver_madwifi: added preliminary support for compiling against 'BSD'
1036 branch of madwifi CVS tree
1037 * driver_madwifi: fixed pairwise key removal to allow WPA reauth
1038 without disassociation
1039 * added support for reading additional certificates from PKCS#12 files
1040 and adding them to the certificate chain
1041 * fixed RADIUS Class attribute processing to only use Access-Accept
1042 packets to update Class; previously, other RADIUS authentication
1043 packets could have cleared Class attribute
1044 * added support for more than one Class attribute in RADIUS packets
1045 * added support for verifying certificate revocation list (CRL) when
1046 using integrated EAP authenticator for EAP-TLS; new hostapd.conf
1047 options 'check_crl'; CRL must be included in the ca_cert file for now
1048
10492005-04-25 - v0.4.0 (beginning of 0.4.x development releases)
1050 * added support for including network information into
1051 EAP-Request/Identity message (ASCII-0 (nul) in eap_message)
1052 (e.g., to implement draft-adrange-eap-network-discovery-07.txt)
1053 * fixed a bug which caused some RSN pre-authentication cases to use
1054 freed memory and potentially crash hostapd
1055 * fixed private key loading for cases where passphrase is not set
1056 * added support for sending TLS alerts and aborting authentication
1057 when receiving a TLS alert
1058 * fixed WPA2 to add PMKSA cache entry when using integrated EAP
1059 authenticator
1060 * fixed PMKSA caching (EAP authentication was not skipped correctly
1061 with the new state machine changes from IEEE 802.1X draft)
1062 * added support for RADIUS over IPv6; own_ip_addr, auth_server_addr,
1063 and acct_server_addr can now be IPv6 addresses (CONFIG_IPV6=y needs
1064 to be added to .config to include IPv6 support); for RADIUS server,
1065 radius_server_ipv6=1 needs to be set in hostapd.conf and addresses
1066 in RADIUS clients file can then use IPv6 format
1067 * added experimental support for EAP-PAX
1068 * replaced hostapd control interface library (hostapd_ctrl.[ch]) with
1069 the same implementation that wpa_supplicant is using (wpa_ctrl.[ch])
1070
10712005-02-12 - v0.3.7 (beginning of 0.3.x stable releases)
1072
10732005-01-23 - v0.3.5
1074 * added support for configuring a forced PEAP version based on the
1075 Phase 1 identity
1076 * fixed PEAPv1 to use tunneled EAP-Success/Failure instead of EAP-TLV
1077 to terminate authentication
1078 * fixed EAP identifier duplicate processing with the new IEEE 802.1X
1079 draft
1080 * clear accounting data in the driver when starting a new accounting
1081 session
1082 * driver_madwifi: filter wireless events based on ifindex to allow more
1083 than one network interface to be used
1084 * fixed WPA message 2/4 processing not to cancel timeout for TimeoutEvt
1085 setting if the packet does not pass MIC verification (e.g., due to
1086 incorrect PSK); previously, message 1/4 was not tried again if an
1087 invalid message 2/4 was received
1088 * fixed reconfiguration of RADIUS client retransmission timer when
1089 adding a new message to the pending list; previously, timer was not
1090 updated at this point and if there was a pending message with long
1091 time for the next retry, the new message needed to wait that long for
1092 its first retry, too
1093
10942005-01-09 - v0.3.4
1095 * added support for configuring multiple allowed EAP types for Phase 2
1096 authentication (EAP-PEAP, EAP-TTLS)
1097 * fixed EAPOL-Start processing to trigger WPA reauthentication
1098 (previously, only EAPOL authentication was done)
1099
11002005-01-02 - v0.3.3
1101 * added support for EAP-PEAP in the integrated EAP authenticator
1102 * added support for EAP-GTC in the integrated EAP authenticator
1103 * added support for configuring list of EAP methods for Phase 1 so that
1104 the integrated EAP authenticator can, e.g., use the wildcard entry
1105 for EAP-TLS and EAP-PEAP
1106 * added support for EAP-TTLS in the integrated EAP authenticator
1107 * added support for EAP-SIM in the integrated EAP authenticator
1108 * added support for using hostapd as a RADIUS authentication server
1109 with the integrated EAP authenticator taking care of EAP
1110 authentication (new hostapd.conf options: radius_server_clients and
1111 radius_server_auth_port); this is not included in default build; use
1112 CONFIG_RADIUS_SERVER=y in .config to include
1113
11142004-12-19 - v0.3.2
1115 * removed 'daemonize' configuration file option since it has not really
1116 been used at all for more than year
1117 * driver_madwifi: fixed group key setup and added get_ssid method
1118 * added support for EAP-MSCHAPv2 in the integrated EAP authenticator
1119
11202004-12-12 - v0.3.1
1121 * added support for integrated EAP-TLS authentication (new hostapd.conf
1122 variables: ca_cert, server_cert, private_key, private_key_passwd);
1123 this enabled dynamic keying (WPA2/WPA/IEEE 802.1X/WEP) without
1124 external RADIUS server
1125 * added support for reading PKCS#12 (PFX) files (as a replacement for
1126 PEM/DER) to get certificate and private key (CONFIG_PKCS12)
1127
11282004-12-05 - v0.3.0 (beginning of 0.3.x development releases)
1129 * added support for Acct-{Input,Output}-Gigawords
1130 * added support for Event-Timestamp (in RADIUS Accounting-Requests)
1131 * added support for RADIUS Authentication Client MIB (RFC2618)
1132 * added support for RADIUS Accounting Client MIB (RFC2620)
1133 * made EAP re-authentication period configurable (eap_reauth_period)
1134 * fixed EAPOL reauthentication to trigger WPA/WPA2 reauthentication
1135 * fixed EAPOL state machine to stop if STA is removed during
1136 eapol_sm_step(); this fixes at least one segfault triggering bug with
1137 IEEE 802.11i pre-authentication
1138 * added support for multiple WPA pre-shared keys (e.g., one for each
1139 client MAC address or keys shared by a group of clients);
1140 new hostapd.conf field wpa_psk_file for setting path to a text file
1141 containing PSKs, see hostapd.wpa_psk for an example
1142 * added support for multiple driver interfaces to allow hostapd to be
1143 used with other drivers
1144 * added wired authenticator driver interface (driver=wired in
1145 hostapd.conf, see wired.conf for example configuration)
1146 * added madwifi driver interface (driver=madwifi in hostapd.conf, see
1147 madwifi.conf for example configuration; Note: include files from
1148 madwifi project is needed for building and a configuration file,
1149 .config, needs to be created in hostapd directory with
1150 CONFIG_DRIVER_MADWIFI=y to include this driver interface in hostapd
1151 build)
1152 * fixed an alignment issue that could cause SHA-1 to fail on some
1153 platforms (e.g., Intel ixp425 with a compiler that does not 32-bit
1154 align variables)
1155 * fixed RADIUS reconnection after an error in sending interim
1156 accounting packets
1157 * added hostapd control interface for external programs and an example
1158 CLI, hostapd_cli (like wpa_cli for wpa_supplicant)
1159 * started adding dot11, dot1x, radius MIBs ('hostapd_cli mib',
1160 'hostapd_cli sta <addr>')
1161 * finished update from IEEE 802.1X-2001 to IEEE 802.1X-REV (now d11)
1162 * added support for strict GTK rekeying (wpa_strict_rekey in
1163 hostapd.conf)
1164 * updated IAPP to use UDP port 3517 and multicast address 224.0.1.178
1165 (instead of broadcast) for IAPP ADD-notify (moved from draft 3 to
1166 IEEE 802.11F-2003)
1167 * added Prism54 driver interface (driver=prism54 in hostapd.conf;
1168 note: .config needs to be created in hostapd directory with
1169 CONFIG_DRIVER_PRISM54=y to include this driver interface in hostapd
1170 build)
1171 * dual-licensed hostapd (GPLv2 and BSD licenses)
1172 * fixed RADIUS accounting to generate a new session id for cases where
1173 a station reassociates without first being complete deauthenticated
1174 * fixed STA disassociation handler to mark next timeout state to
1175 deauthenticate the station, i.e., skip long wait for inactivity poll
1176 and extra disassociation, if the STA disassociates without
1177 deauthenticating
1178 * added integrated EAP authenticator that can be used instead of
1179 external RADIUS authentication server; currently, only EAP-MD5 is
1180 supported, so this cannot yet be used for key distribution; the EAP
1181 method interface is generic, though, so adding new EAP methods should
1182 be straightforward; new hostapd.conf variables: 'eap_authenticator'
1183 and 'eap_user_file'; this obsoletes "minimal authentication server"
1184 ('minimal_eap' in hostapd.conf) which is now removed
1185 * added support for FreeBSD and driver interface for the BSD net80211
1186 layer (driver=bsd in hostapd.conf and CONFIG_DRIVER_BSD=y in
1187 .config); please note that some of the required kernel mods have not
1188 yet been committed
1189
11902004-07-17 - v0.2.4 (beginning of 0.2.x stable releases)
1191 * fixed some accounting cases where Accounting-Start was sent when
1192 IEEE 802.1X port was being deauthorized
1193
11942004-06-20 - v0.2.3
1195 * modified RADIUS client to re-connect the socket in case of certain
1196 error codes that are generated when a network interface state is
1197 changes (e.g., when IP address changes or the interface is set UP)
1198 * fixed couple of cases where EAPOL state for a station was freed
1199 twice causing a segfault for hostapd
1200 * fixed couple of bugs in processing WPA deauthentication (freed data
1201 was used)
1202
12032004-05-31 - v0.2.2
1204 * fixed WPA/WPA2 group rekeying to use key index correctly (GN/GM)
1205 * fixed group rekeying to send zero TSC in EAPOL-Key messages to fix
1206 cases where STAs dropped multicast frames as replay attacks
1207 * added support for copying RADIUS Attribute 'Class' from
1208 authentication messages into accounting messages
1209 * send canned EAP failure if RADIUS server sends Access-Reject without
1210 EAP message (previously, Supplicant was not notified in this case)
1211 * fixed mixed WPA-PSK and WPA-EAP mode to work with WPA-PSK (i.e., do
1212 not start EAPOL state machines if the STA selected to use WPA-PSK)
1213
12142004-05-06 - v0.2.1
1215 * added WPA and IEEE 802.11i/RSN (WPA2) Authenticator functionality
1216 - based on IEEE 802.11i/D10.0 but modified to interoperate with WPA
1217 (i.e., IEEE 802.11i/D3.0)
1218 - supports WPA-only, RSN-only, and mixed WPA/RSN mode
1219 - both WPA-PSK and WPA-RADIUS/EAP are supported
1220 - PMKSA caching and pre-authentication
1221 - new hostapd.conf variables: wpa, wpa_psk, wpa_passphrase,
1222 wpa_key_mgmt, wpa_pairwise, wpa_group_rekey, wpa_gmk_rekey,
1223 rsn_preauth, rsn_preauth_interfaces
1224 * fixed interim accounting to remove any pending accounting messages
1225 to the STA before sending a new one
1226
12272004-02-15 - v0.2.0
1228 * added support for Acct-Interim-Interval:
1229 - draft-ietf-radius-acct-interim-01.txt
1230 - use Acct-Interim-Interval attribute from Access-Accept if local
1231 'radius_acct_interim_interval' is not set
1232 - allow different update intervals for each STA
1233 * fixed event loop to call signal handlers only after returning from
1234 the real signal handler
1235 * reset sta->timeout_next after successful association to make sure
1236 that the previously registered inactivity timer will not remove the
1237 STA immediately (e.g., if STA deauthenticates and re-associates
1238 before the timer is triggered).
1239 * added new hostapd.conf variable, nas_identifier, that can be used to
1240 add an optional RADIUS Attribute, NAS-Identifier, into authentication
1241 and accounting messages
1242 * added support for Accounting-On and Accounting-Off messages
1243 * fixed accounting session handling to send Accounting-Start only once
1244 per session and not to send Accounting-Stop if the session was not
1245 initialized properly
1246 * fixed Accounting-Stop statistics in cases where the message was
1247 previously sent after the kernel entry for the STA (and/or IEEE
1248 802.1X data) was removed
1249
1250
1251Note:
1252
1253Older changes up to and including v0.1.0 are included in the ChangeLog
1254of the Host AP driver.
