`03.Nov.2003` Amigan Software (Website)	Software-Updates by Amigan Software The shareware developers Amigan Software released updates for three programs. Version 7.61 of the snake clone 'Worm Wars' is now available for AmigaOS and Windows. A new version (5.76) of the freeware program 'Report+' has been released. The tool is based on ReAction/GadTools and requires AmigaOS 3.9. With the help of 'Report+' one can create for example Aminet readmes, replace the Commodore bug reporting tool or check the size (in bytes) of a directory. Of Saga, a conversion of the board game "Saga: Age of Heroes" released in 1981 by TSR, a new version (1.34a) is now available. (nba) (Translation: sk) [News message: 03.

`03.Nov.2003` Thore Böckelmann (ANF)	System-Monitor: Scout Version 3.3 Thore Böckelmann released version 3.3 of the system monitor 'Scout'. 'Scout' offers you a closer look on current system resources and lets you manipulate them if possible. Due to the fact that the list of changes is quiet long we recommend to read the changelog. The source code is no longer available as a seperate archive. The sources are now accessible via sourceforge.net as a public CVS repository. The binary archive is also available in the Aminet.

`03.Nov.2003` Chris Hodges (Website)	Poseidon: Unknown person spreads crack-instructions As the author of Poseidon, Chris Hodges, informs on his website, someone spread instructions how to crack his USB stack on three mailing-lists yesterday. According to Chris Hodges, this happened under the fake name "Dan Gaines" and, as a smokescreen, by using a freemailer in London as well as an anonymous proxy located in the UK. But the high amount of grammar mistakes in the posting would make it unlikely that this person was a native speaker. "Dan Gaines" would have been registered only a week ago, by which this seems to be a thoughtfully planned assault. As the author states, the effects on the development of Poseidon are still to be considered - but the effect on his motivation would have been already devastating. The further speculation by Chris Hodges regarding the background of this incident can be found on his website in the message from November 3. (snx) [News message: 03.

`02.Nov.2003` Guido Mersmann (ANF)	ArakAttack - USB driver for Amithlon & OpenPCI The ArakAttack demo version is now available. The demo version is time limited and much slower than the full version. What is ArakAttack? ArakAttack is an USB driver paket that allows the usage of USB on any AmigaOS compatible system with PCI slots. ArakAttack isn't an USB stack, it's a driver paket for Chris Hodges great USB Stack Poseidon. What are the features of ArakAttack? Amithlon optimised version. OpenPCI compatible version. UHCI controller support. (incl. on board) OHCI controller support. (incl. on board) Unlimited number of USB controllers supported at the same time. Unlimited number of parallel USB transfers garantees maximum performance. Only one device with multiple units makes installation very easy. Intelligent transfer descriptor caching mechanism. Several user options allow an optimisation of resource management to the users requirements. Full mem handler support. (Frees resources and caches if the system signals low system memory) No HUB depth limits. Separate time out handling for each USB request garantees the driver never freezes the USB stack or the system. External interrupt fallback for systems with interrupt trouble. What is also required to use ArakAttack? The latest version of Chris Hodges' Poseidon USB Stack. In addition to that other components are required: Amithlon: powerpci.library - version 2.13 or better. Amiga PCI / Pegasos: openpci.library - version V1.20 or better. Which USB Controller is required for ArakAttack? Most of the current USB controllers are supported. Just take care it's UHCI, OHCI or EHCI compatible. Well, you will have difficulties to find any other within the stores now. Amithlon user may be happy to hear that on board USB controllers are working, too! How can I register? Well, currently the registration makes no sense, because ArakAttack is quite useless without a registered USB Stack. If you own a Poseidon key feel free to register. Further information can be found in the manual. PLEASE: Don't bother Chris Hodges with questions about registering Poseidon. He is very busy at the moment, so please keep quiet until the registration site will be up again. (cg) (Translation: cg) [News message: 02.
