This package provides an object oriented interface to GNU Privacy
Guard (GPG). It requires the GPG executable to be on the system.
Though GPG can support symmetric-key cryptography, this package is intended
only to facilitate public-key cryptography.
This package provides an interface to the cracklib (libcrack) libraries that
come standard on most Unix-like distributions. This allows you to check
passwords against dictionaries of words to ensure some minimal level of
password security.
From the cracklib README
CrackLib makes literally hundreds of tests to determine whether you've
chosen a bad password.
* It tries to generate words from your username and gecos entry to tries
to match them against what you've chosen.
* It checks for simplistic patterns.
* It then tries to reverse-engineer your password into a dictionary
word, and searches for it in your dictionary.
- after all that, it's PROBABLY a safe(-ish) password. 8-)
sha is a simple program that hashes files. It uses the National
Institute of Standards and Technology's Secure Hash Algorithm.
It can use SHA-1, SHA-256, SHA-384, or SHA-512, which generate
respectively, hashes of 160, 256, 384, or 512 bits. sha can be
used in scripts to do, for example, file integrity checking.
pyClamd is a python interface to Clamd (Clamav daemon).
By using pyClamd, you can add virus detection capabilities
to your python software in an efficient and easy way.
"pgpdump" is a PGP packet visualizer which displays the packet format
of OpenPGP (RFC 2440 + bis) and PGP version 2 (RFC 1991).
ECDSA cryptographic signature library (pure python).
ed25519ll is a low-level wrapper for the Ed25519 public key signature
system. It uses Extension() to compile a shared library that is not a
Python extension module, and then uses ctypes to talk to the library. With
luck it will only be necessary to compile ed25519ll once for each
platform, reusing its shared library across Python versions.
This wrapper also contains a reasonably performat pure-Python
fallback. Unlike the reference implementation, the Python implementation
does not contain protection against timing attacks.
cmd5checkpw is a checkpassword compatible authentication program that uses
CRAM-MD5 authentication mode. It was designed primary to work with qmail
but it can be used by any other program that knows how to use checkpassword
compatible authentication.
This package provides parallel versions of the openssh tools. Included
in the distribution:
- Parallel ssh (pssh)
- Parallel scp (pscp)
- Parallel rsync (prsync)
- Parallel nuke (pnuke)
- Parallel slurp (pslurp)
What are these tools good for? Mainly for controlling large collections
of nodes in the wide-area.
This module offers
- some high level convenience functions for accessing web pages on SSL servers
- a sslcat() function for writing your own clients
- access to the SSL api of SSLeay package,
so you can write servers or clients for more complicated applications
