Off-the-Record (OTR) Messaging allows you to have private
conversations over instant messaging by providing:
* Encryption
No one else can read your instant messages.
* Authentication
You are assured the correspondent is who you think it is.
* Deniability
The messages you send do not have digital signatures that
are checkable by a third party. Anyone can forge messages
after a conversation to make them look like they came from
you. However, during a conversation, your correspondent is
assured the messages he sees are authentic and unmodified.
* Perfect forward secrecy
If you lose control of your private keys, no previous
conversation is compromised.
Twisted Conch is an SSHv2 implementation written in Python. SSH is a protocol
designed to allow remote access to shells and commands, but it is generic
enough to allow everything from TCP forwarding to generic filesystem access.
Since conch is written in Python, it interfaces well with other Python
projects, such as Imagination. Conch also includes a implementations of the
telnet and vt102 protocols, as well as support for rudamentary line editing
behaviors. A new implementation of Twisted's Manhole application is also
included, featuring server-side input history and interactive syntax coloring.
signing-party is a collection for all kinds of PGP/GnuPG related things,
including signing scripts, party preparation scripts, etc.
* caff: CA - Fire and Forget signs and mails a key
* pgp-clean: removes all non-self signatures from key
* pgp-fixkey: removes broken packets from keys
* gpg-mailkeys: simply mail out a signed key to its owner
* gpg-key2ps: generate PostScript file with fingerprint paper strips
* gpglist: show who signed which of your UIDs
* gpgsigs: annotates list of GnuPG keys with already done signatures
* keylookup: ncurses wrapper around gpg --search
TrueCrack is a brute-force password cracker for TrueCrypt (Copyright) volume
files. It works on Linux and it is optimized with Nvidia Cuda technology.
It works with cripted volumes with the following algorithms:
- PBKDF2 (defined in PKCS5 v2.0) based on RIPEMD160 Key derivation function.
- XTS block cipher mode of operation used for hard disk encryption based on
AES.
TrueCrack can work in two different modes of use:
- Dictionary attack: read the passwords from a file of words (one password
for line).
- Charset attack: generate the passwords from a charset of symbols defined
by the user (for example: all possible strings of n characters from the
charset "abc" ).
cw is a non-intrusive real-time ANSI color wrapper for common Unix-based
command.
cw is designed to simulate the environment of the commands being
executed, so that if a person types 'du', 'df', 'ping', etc. in their
shell it will automatically color the output in real-time according to
a definition file containing the color format desired. cw has support
for wildcard match coloring, tokenized coloring, headers/footers, case
scenario coloring, command line dependent definition coloring, and
includes over 50 pre-made definition files.
Docker is an open source project to pack, ship and run any
application as a lightweight container.
Docker containers are both hardware-agnostic and platform-agnostic.
This means they can run anywhere, from your laptop to the largest
EC2 compute instance and everything in between - and they don't
require you to use a particular language, framework or packaging
system. That makes them great building blocks for deploying and
scaling web apps, databases, and backend services without depending
on a particular stack or provider.
The etcupdate utility is a tool for managing updates to files that are
not updated as part of `make installworld' such as files in /etc. It
manages updates by doing a three-way merge of changes made to these files
against the local versions. It is also designed to minimize the amount
of user intervention with the goal of simplifying upgrades for clusters
of machines.
The primary difference from mergemaster is that etcupdate requires less
manual work. The primary difference from etcmerge is that etcupdate
updates files in-place similar to mergemaster rather than building a
separate /etc tree.
NFSping is a command line utility for measuring the response time of an NFS
server. It's basically a copy of the fping interface but doesn't share any code
with that project.
On modern NFS servers, the network stack and filesystem are often being run on
separate cores or even hardware components. This means in practise that a fast
ICMP ping response isn't indicative of how quickly the NFS filesystem is
responding. This tool more directly tests the responsiveness of the server's
operating system's NFS component.
Munin network-wide graphing framework (node)
Munin is a tool for graphing all sorts of information about one or more
servers and displaying it in a web interface. It uses the excellent
RRDTool (written by Tobi Oetiker) and is written in Perl. Munin has a
master/node architecture. The master connects to all the nodes at regular
intervals, and asks them for data. It then stores the data in RRD-files,
and (if needed) updates the graphs. One of the main goals have been ease
of creating own "plugins" (graphs).
This is the collector. It is installed on the machine that shall collect
and display performance data.
