Twitch - a GPL arcade game by David Clark <silenus@telus.net>.
Twitch is an overhead 2-d shooter, reminiscent of games like Robotron or Tron:
Deadly Disks. The player has entered the fortress of the evil Hippopoticus,
and is trying to rescue the fair Lady Penelope from his clutches. I wrote
Twitch as a proof-of-concept: namely that Python, properly written, is fast
enough to create a playable, cross-platform arcade game.

MyDNS - SQL-based DNS server
This is the MyDNS package. MyDNS is a simple, non-recursive Internet
name daemon which serves records directly from an SQL database. It
currently works with either MySQL or PostgreSQL.
This version of the MyDNS package is a development of the original one
produced by Don Moore.

The tardy program is a tar post-processor. It may be used to manipulate the
file headers in tar archive files in various ways.
The reason the tardy program was written was because the author wanted to
"spruce up" tar files before posting them to the net, mostly to remove
artifacts of the development environment, without introducing more.
The tardy program was designed to allow you to alter certain characteristics
of files after they have been included in the tar file. Among them are:
* change file owner (by number or name)
* change file group (by number or name)
* add directory prefix (e.g. dot)
* change file protections (e.g. from 600 to 644)
Note that all of these affect ALL files in the archive.
Free Tennis is a tennis simulation. The most notable features of Free Tennis
are:
- Real tactics are useful in the game. For example, it is best to take the net
with a slow, low shot (backspin); it is best to play diagonal when you are
decentered horizontally, in order not to give angles; you should get back to
center and behind the baseline after the shot, in order not to be caught in
No-Man's-Land when the opponent hits
- The A.I. is very advanced and reflects those tactics;
- You have total control over the parabola described by the shot;
- The graphic gestures are realistic and elegant;
- Different players have different skills;
- The game is developed by a former tennis player;
A command-line tool to download picturs and control still digital cameras
based on Sierra Imaging chipset and compatibles
(Olympus, Nikon, Epson, Agfa and some others).
This is a library and a command-line frontend to manipulate digital still
cameras based on Fujitsu chipset and Sierra Imaging firmware. The
program is known to work with Agfa, Epson, Olympus, Sanyo and Nikon (at
least CoolPix 900, 950 and 8x0 but not CoolPix 600!) cameras.
The cameras typically come with software for Windows and for Mac, and no
description of the protocol. With this tool, they are managable from a
UNIX box. Bruce D. Lightner <lightner@lightner.net> has added support
for Win32 and DOS platforms. Note that the program does not have any
GUI, it is plain command-line even on Windows.
Petri nets are a popular graphical way of modeling concurrent systems such as
communications protocols, multiprocessor computers etc. With Petri nets it is
possible to assess the correctness of systems for example by verifying that
the system cannot deadlock, that there cannot be any buffer overflows etc.
PIPEs main aim is to improve on existing tools available for modeling Petri
Nets. A key design feature is the modular approach adopted for analysis,
enabling new modules to written easily and powerfully, using built-in data
layer methods for standard calculations. Eight analysis modules have been
written (so far) including Invariant Analysis, State-Space Analysis (deadlock,
etc), Simulation Analysis & Classification. PIPE adheres to the latest XML
Petri net standard (PNML). File format for saving and loading Petri-Nets is
also extensible through the use of XSLT, the default being PNML.
ubh - the Usenet Binary Harvester - is a GPL'ed Perl console
application which automatically discovers, downloads, and decodes
single-part and multi-part Usenet binaries. Automatically assembles
multi-part binaries. Provides searching via Perl regular expression
syntax. Also provides a pre-selection capability whereby the user
can
interactively choose which binaries to download. Uses a standard
.newsrc file to control which groups and articles to process.
Runs anywhere Perl runs. Tested under Unix-based Perl, Active Perl
on Win32 platforms, and Mac OS X. Requires Net::NNTP and
News::Newsrc
(which itself requires Set::IntSpan), MIME::Parser, MIME::Base64,
IO::Stringy, and MailTools (distribution).

Nikto is an Open Source (GPL) web server scanner which performs
comprehensive tests against web servers for multiple items, including
over 6100 potentially dangerous files/CGIs, checks for outdated
versions of over 950 servers, and version specific problems on over
260 servers. It also checks for server configuration items such as
the presence of multiple index files, HTTP server options, and will
attempt to identify installed web servers and software. Scan items
and plugins are frequently updated and can be automatically updated.
It uses Rain Forest Puppy's LibWhisker (wiretrip.net) for HTTP
functionality, and can perform checks in HTTP or HTTPS. It also
supports basic port scanning and will determine if a web server is
running on any open ports.
Nikto is written by Chris Sullo and David Lodge.
