Webshag is a multi-threaded, multi-platform web server audit tool. Written in
Python, it gathers commonly useful functionalities for web server auditing like
website crawling, URL scanning or file fuzzing.
VPNC - Client for Cisco 3000 VPN Concentrator, IOS and PIX
Vpnc is a VPN client for the Cisco 3000 VPN Concentrator, creating a
IPSec-like connection as a tunneling network device for the local
system. The created connection is presented as a tunneling network
device to the local system. The daemon runs entirely in userspace.
CDargs heavily enhances the navigation of the common Unix file-system
inside the shell. It plugs into the shell built-in cd-command (via a shell
function or an alias) and thus adds bookmarks and a browser to it. It
enables you to move to a very distant place in the file-system with just
a few keystrokes.
Unix provides the standard du utility, which scans your disk and tells you which
directories contain the largest amounts of data. That can help you narrow your
search to the things most worth deleting.
However, that only tells you what's big. What you really want to know is what's
too big. By itself, du won't let you distinguish between data that's big because
you're doing something that needs it to be big, and data that's big because you
unpacked it once and forgot about it.
Most Unix file systems, in their default mode, helpfully record when a file was
last accessed. Not just when it was written or modified, but when it was even
read. So if you generated a large amount of data years ago, forgot to clean it
up, and have never used it since, then it ought in principle to be possible to
use those last-access time stamps to tell the difference between that and a
large amount of data you're still using regularly.
agedu is a program which does this. It does basically the same sort of disk scan
as du, but it also records the last-access times of everything it scans. Then it
builds an index that lets it efficiently generate reports giving a summary of
the results for each subdirectory, and then it produces those reports on demand.

GNU ddrescue is a data recovery tool. It copies data from one file or
block device (hard disc, cdrom, etc) to another, trying hard to rescue
data in case of read errors. Ddrescue does not truncate the output file
if not asked to. So, every time you run it on the same output file, it
tries to fill in the gaps. The basic operation of ddrescue is fully
automatic. That is, you don't have to wait for an error, stop the
program, read the log, run it in reverse mode, etc. If you use the
logfile feature of ddrescue, the data is rescued very efficiently (only
the needed blocks are read). Also you can interrupt the rescue at any
time and resume it later at the same point.
Automatic merging of backups: If you have two or more damaged copies of
a file, cdrom, etc, and run ddrescue on all of them, one at a time,
with the same output file, you will probably obtain a complete and
error-free file. This is so because the probability of having damaged
areas at the same places on different input files is very low. Using
the logfile, only the needed blocks are read from the second and
successive copies.

Dolly is used to clone the installation of one machine to (possibly
many) other machines. It can distribute image-files (even gnu-zipped),
partitions or whole hard disk drives to other partitions or hard
disk drives. As it forms a "virtual TCP ring" to distribute data,
it works best with fast switched networks (we were able to clone a
2 GB Windows NT partition to 15 machines in our cluster over Gigabit
Ethernet in less than 4 minutes).
As dolly clones whole partitions block-wise it works for most
filesystems. We used it to clone partitions of the following type:
Linux, Windows NT, Oberon, Solaris (most of our machines have multi
boot setups). We have a small (additional) Linux installation on
all of our machines or use a small one-floppy-disk-linux (e.g.
muLinux) to do the cloning. On newer machines we use PXE to boot a
small system in a RAM disk. From that system we then clone the hard
disks in the machines.
fsbackup.pl is a incremental backup creation utility. fsbackup.pl support
backup compression and encryption. Backup can be stored on local file system
and on remote host stored over SSH or FTP. Some addition scripts allow backups
SQL tables from PostgreSQL and MySQL (pgsql_backup.sh and mysql_backup.sh)),
save system configuration files and list of installed packages (sysbackup.sh).
Backuped with fsbackup.pl files can be recovered by script fsrestore.sh,
backuped with sysbackup.sh system packeges can be reinstalled by sysrestore.sh.
Dvdimagecmp is a small program to compare an image to a
burned disc. It is not limited to dvds, and supports offsets.
