The vblade is the virtual EtherDrive (R) blade, a program that makes a
seekable file available over an ethernet local area network (LAN) via
the ATA over Ethernet (AoE) protocol.
The seekable file is typically a block device like /dev/md0 but even
regular files will work. Sparse files can be especially convenient.
When vblade exports the block storage over AoE it becomes a storage
target. Another host on the same LAN can access the storage if it has
a compatible aoe kernel driver.
utftpd is a TFTP server with fine-grained access control, support for
blksize (RFC 2348), timeout options and support for revision control.
You can assign three different kinds of rights to every client:
- read: the right to read a file.
- write: the right to write to an already existing file.
- create: the right to create a file.
Clients may be specified by a single ip address or a range of
addresses or by ip address and mask.
Revision control is optional and will never be turned on automatically
for any file (you have to do the initial checkin into by hand).
Wackamole is an application that helps with making a cluster highly
available.
It manages a number of virtual IPs, that should be available to the
outside world at all times. Wackamole ensures that a single machine
within a cluster is listening on each virtual IP address that Wackamole
manages. If it discovers that any particular machine within the cluster
are not alive, it will almost immediately ensure that other machines
acquire their public IPs. At no time will more than one machine listen
on any virtual IP.
Wackamole also works toward achieving a balanced distribution of the
numbered IPs on the machine within the cluster it manages.
PostScript::Simple allows you to have a simple method of writing
PostScript files from Perl. It has graphics primitives that allow lines,
curves, circles, polygons and boxes to be drawn. Text can be added to
the page using standard PostScript fonts.
The images can be single page EPS files, or multipage PostScript files.
The image size can be set by using a recognised paper size ("A4", for
example) or by giving dimensions. The units used can be specified ("mm"
or "in", etc) and are the same as those used in TeX. The default unit is
a bp, or a PostScript point, unlike TeX.
PyScript is a python module for producing high quality postscript
graphics. Rather than use a GUI to draw a picture, the picture is
programmed using python and the PyScript objects.
Some of the key features are:
* All scripting is done in python, which is a high level, easy
to learn, well-developed scripting language.
* All the objects can be translated, scaled, rotated, ... in fact
any affine transformation.
* Plain text is automatically kerned.
* You can place arbitrary LaTeX expressions on your figures.
* You can create your own figure objects, and develop a library
of figure primitives.
* Output is publication quality.
This is a set of three simple tools written in sh(1) for generating single
patches for use in Ports. This set is ideal for creating a new patch when
it is inconvenient or undesirable to use the "make makepatch" utility.
The first tool is "dupe" which is a quick copy utility. The second tool
is "genpatch" which creates patches in the standards diff format and
using the standard file name conventions. The last tool is "portfix"
which runs "dupe", an editor of choice, and "genpatch" serially as a
macro as a convenient and quick way to create port patches.
Please see the dupe, genpatch, and portfix man pages for details.
After examining Tripwire and deciding that it was *way* overkill for my
own purposes...
...L5 simply walks down Unix or DOS filesystems, sort of like "ls -R" or
"find" would, generating listings of anything it finds there. It tells
you everything it can about a file's status, and adds on an MD5 hash of
it. Its output is rather "numeric", but it is a very simple format and
is designed to be post-treated by scripts that call L5...
...Unlike Tripwire itself, this is NOT a complete toolkit -- one is
expected to use it as a small, reliable part of a larger system...

BASE is the Basic Analysis and Security Engine. It is based on the code
from the ACID project. This application provides a PHP-based web front-end
to query and analyze the alerts coming from a Snort IDS system.
BASE is a web interface to perform analysis of intrusions that Snort has
detected on your network. It uses a user authentication and role-base
system, so that you as the security admin can decide what and how much
information each user can see. It also has a simple to use, web-based
setup program for people not comfortable with editing files directly.
OpenID is a decentralized identity system, but one that's actually
decentralized and doesn't entirely crumble if one company turns evil
or goes out of business.
An OpenID identity is just a URL. You can have multiple identities in
the same way you can have multiple URLs. All OpenID does is provide a
way to prove that you own a URL (identity).
Anybody can run their own site using OpenID, and anybody can be an
OpenID server, and they all work with each other without having to
register with or pay anybody to "get started". An owner of a URL can
pick which OpenID server to use.
