Router Benri Pack

[To Japanese page]

Router Benri Pack (RBP) is a Windows service program that has several functionalities that are useful in broadband-enabled home LANs.

Functionalities

RBP operates as a single service on NT 4.0/Windows 2000/XP. The following functionalities can be enabled or disabled individually.

Logging Service (LGS) for Orenosp/Orenosv

LGS is a logging service that offers reliable, secure and firewall-friendly communication channels to log-generating applications. You can configure Orenosp and Orenosv to send log records to LGS. With this, you can merge logs from multiple Orenosp/Orenosv services into a single log stream. It will come handy when you have a farm of Orenosp/Orenosv machines. LGS has features that don't exist in main-stream logging services like syslog, syslog-ng, or NT-eventlog.

Offers authenticated, SSL-enabled logging channel.
Provides only log-appending functionality on the log-accepting channel. This means is that even if a server running log-generating application (such as Orenosp) is compromised, the attacker could only append data to the log, not modify the existing log records in any way.
Uses only a single admin-defined fixed TCP port. You can place a log-accepting server (i.e., LGS) in a secure LAN while placing log-generating applications (such as Orenosp) in the DMZ.
