PyCryptodome is a fork of PyCrypto. It brings the following
enhancements with respect to the last official version of
PyCrypto (2.6.1):
* Authenticated encryption modes (GCM, CCM, EAX, SIV, OCB)
* Accelerated AES on Intel platforms via AES-NI
* First class support for PyPy
* SHA-3 (including SHAKE XOFs) and BLAKE2 hash algorithms
* Salsa20 and ChaCha20 stream ciphers
* scrypt and HKDF
* Deterministic DSA
* Password-protected PKCS#8 key containers
* Shamir's Secret Sharing scheme
* Random numbers get sourced directly from the OS (and not from
a CSPRNG in userspace)
* Simplified install process, including better support for Windows
* Cleaner RSA and DSA key generation (largely based on FIPS 186-4)
* Major clean ups and simplification of the code base
The Rekall Framework is a completely open collection of tools, implemented in
Python under the GNU General Public License, for the extraction of digital
artifacts from volatile memory (RAM) samples. The extraction techniques are
performed completely independent of the system being investigated but offer
visibility into the runtime state of the system. The framework is intended to
introduce people to the techniques and complexities associated with extracting
digital artifacts from volatile memory samples and provide a platform for
further work into this exciting area of research.

The seccure toolset implements a selection of asymmetric algorithms
based on elliptic curve cryptography (ECC). In particular it offers
public key encryption / decryption, signature generation /
verification and key establishment.
ECC schemes offer a much better key size to security ratio than
classical systems (RSA, DSA). Keys are short enough to make direct
specification of keys on the command line possible (sometimes this
is more convenient than the management of PGP-like key rings).
seccure builds on this feature and therefore is the tool of choice
whenever lightweight asymmetric cryptography -- independent of key
servers, revocation certificates, the Web of Trust or even
configuration files -- is required.
In the Unix tradition, it works with things already there and fills
a empty niche. When incorporating it into your Unix environment, you
keep your command line shell, your editor, your pager, and access to
all your tools, tricks and know-how. Vshnu can operate as an
optional supplemental visual mode to your command line shell. You
switch between command line and visual mode easily as you wish. Your
interface bandwidth and power for Unix operations is on a higher
plane and life gets sweeter.
Beats is the platform for building lightweight, open source data
shippers for many types of operational data you want to enrich with
Logstash, search and analyze in Elasticsearch, and visualize in Kibana.
Whether you're interested in log files, infrastructure metrics, network
packets, or any other type of data, Beats serves as the foundation for
keeping a beat on your data.
Filebeat is a lightweight, open source shipper for log file data. As the
next-generation Logstash Forwarder, Filebeat tails logs and quickly
sends this information to Logstash for further parsing and enrichment or
to Elasticsearch for centralized storage and analysis.
A flexible backup tool
Features:
o Easy to configure
o Uses dump, afio, GNU tar, cpio, pax, or zip archivers
o Full and numbered levels of incremental backup (acts like "dump")
o Compression and buffering options for all backup types
o Does remote filesystems (over rsh/ssh; no special service)
o Can backup only files not owned by rpm, or changed from rpm version
o Writes to tapes, on-disk archive files, or on-disk directory trees
o Keeps a table of contents so you know archives are on each tape
o Nice log files
You can get additional information about remote backup strategies using SSH
at http://www.sysfault.org/flexbackup.html
This is /usr/bin/more from FreeBSD before the import of the less(1) pager.
It is an older version of less that includes some enhancements and fixes
not in less. These enhancments include support for global(1) tags,
nicer horizontal scrolling, support for portable keyboard configurations
using termcap(5), and a much shorter manpage.
Due to the debatability of the latter feature (is it an enhancement or
a bug?), /usr/bin/more has been replaced. This port is available for
those who desire any of the above features.
GPT fdisk (aka gdisk) by Roderick W. Smith, rodsmith@rodsbooks.com
This software is intended as a (somewhat) fdisk-workalike program for
GPT-partitioned disks. Specific advantages of gdisk, cgdisk and
sgdisk include:
* Edit GUID partition table (GPT) definitions in Linux, FreeBSD, MacOS X,
or Windows
* Convert MBR to GPT or back without data loss
* Convert BSD disklabels to GPT without data loss
* Create hybrid MBR, which permits GPT-unaware
OSes to access up to three GPT partitions on the disk
* Repair damaged GPT data structures
* The ability to specify sector-exact partition sizes
* Clear identification of the number of unallocated sectors on a disk
