This set of scripts allows to work locally on Subversion-managed
projects using the Mercurial distributed version control system.
Why use Mercurial? You can do local (disconnected) work, pull the
latest changes from the SVN server, manage private branches, submit
patches to project maintainers, etc. And of course you have fast
local operations like "hg log", "hg annotate"...
Three scripts are provided:
* hgimportsvn initializes an SVN checkout which is also a
Mercurial repository.
* hgpullsvn pulls the latest changes from the SVN repository,
and updates the Mercurial repository accordingly. It can
be run multiple times.
* hgpushsvn pushes your local Mercurial commits back to the SVN repository.
Daemons provides an easy way to wrap existing ruby scripts (for example
a self-written server) to be run as a daemon and to be controlled by
simple start/stop/restart commands.
If you want, you can also use daemons to run blocks of ruby code in a
daemon process and to control these processes from the main application.
Besides this basic functionality, daemons offers many advanced features
like exception backtracing and logging (in case your ruby script
crashes) and monitoring and automatic restarting of your processes if
they crash.
tcllauncher is a way to have Tcl programs run out of /usr/local/bin under their
own name, be installed in one place with their support files, and provides
commands to facilitate server-oriented application execution.
While there is another wrapper system that also does this, that system produces
a single executable that contains all the code and support files within a
built-in virtual filesystem wrapped inside the executable. Tcllauncher keeps
the support files distinct, typically in a subdirectory of /usr/local/lib
that's named after the application.
BIND version 9 is a major rewrite of nearly all aspects of the underlying BIND
architecture. Some of the important features of BIND 9 are:
DNS Security: DNSSEC (signed zones), TSIG (signed DNS requests)
IP version 6: Answers DNS queries on IPv6 sockets, IPv6 resource records (AAAA)
Experimental IPv6 Resolver Library
DNS Protocol Enhancements: IXFR, DDNS, Notify, EDNS0
Improved standards conformance
Views: One server process can provide multiple "views" of the DNS namespace,
e.g. an "inside" view to certain clients, and an "outside" view to others.
Multiprocessor Support
See the CHANGES file for more information on new features.

DNSRecon provides the ability to perform:
Check all NS Records for Zone Transfers.
Enumerate General DNS Records for a given
Domain (MX, SOA, NS, A, AAAA, SPF and TXT).
Perform common SRV Record Enumeration.
Top Level Domain (TLD) Expansion.
Check for Wildcard Resolution.
Brute Force subdomain and host A
and AAAA records given a domain and a wordlist.
Perform a PTR Record lookup for a given IP Range or CIDR.
Check a DNS Server Cached records for A, AAAA and
CNAME Records provided a list of host records in a text file to check.
Enumerate Common mDNS records in the Local
Network Enumerate Hosts and Subdomains using Google.

timeseal is a program that has been developed to improve chess on internet.
Netlag often causes players to lose valuable seconds or even minutes on their
chess clocks. Transmission time is counted against you, unless the chess
server can tell exactly when information is transmitted. The timeseal program
acts as a relay station and keeps track of transmission times. What timeseal
does is record your thinking time, so that transmission time is not counted
against you. Timeseal will not prevent netlag but it makes the games fairer
when lag occurs.
GNetwork is a networking wrapper written in pure C against the Glib/GObject
object framework.
The intention here is to provide a useful and easy-to-develop-against sockets
wrapper for GNOME2 & GTK+ 2.0 programs which require TCP/IP connection
capabilities. It can be used by programs which do not use GNOME or GTK+
anyways,however. It is NOT recommended or intended for high-load server
situations, just user applications which need TCP/IP networking. Proxies are
supported completely transparently, using the same settings as gnome-vfs.

Net::Daemon is an abstract base class for implementing portable server
applications in a very simple way. The module is designed for Perl 5.005
and threads, but can work with fork() and Perl 5.004.
The Net::Daemon class offers methods for the most common tasks a daemon
needs: Starting up, logging, accepting clients, authorization,
restricting its own environment for security and doing the true work.
You only have to override those methods that aren't appropriate for you,
but typically inheriting will safe you a lot of work anyways.
