Presentation:
------------
Fwknop = SPA (harden security) + ease of use
That is a good point of view, and I do not remember I have ever read
such a thing.

Then we come back to the usal argument SPA vs port knocking.

Ubuntu package:
--------------
An important part of the paper is about an Ubuntu package for fwknop.
Then, I have to say I am quite disappointed to hear they have done such
work without me being able to know about it. On my side, I think I have
done what was required to inform people a package was in progress.
I only hope people have not spend their(our) free time for nothing.

Ease of use
------------
From a Debian point of view, I think fwknop is quite easy to set up the
first time, allowing people to play with it and check if they really
want to install it and continue with GPG authentication. In a general
way, fwknop is simple to setup and easy to use.

However a wrapper for ssh would be really nice :) I have not tried
ssh-fwknop yet.

Are you in touch with the authors ?

Regards,
