SimpleServer is a Perl module which is intended to make it as simple as
possible to develop new Z39.50 servers over any type of database
imaginable. All you have to do is implement a function for initialising your
database (optional), searching the database, and returning "database
records" on request. The module takes care of everything else and
automatically starts a server for you, listens to incoming connections,
and implements the Z39.50 protocol. It couldn't really be easier.
SimpleServer is based on the popular YAZ toolkit which means it is
robust, efficient, widely portable, and it interoperates with all known
Z39.50 clients.
Use SimpleServer together with other Perl modules to provide gateways
to relational databases, local file stores, SOAP/RDF-servers, etc.
SimpleServer currently supports the Init, Search, Present, Scan and
Close services.
Remmina is a remote desktop client written in GTK+, aiming to be useful for
system administrators and travellers, who need to work with lots of remote
computers in front of either large monitors or tiny netbooks. Remmina supports
multiple network protocols in an integrated and consistant user interface.
The Remmina main program:
* A pure GTK+ 2.0 application!
* Maintain a list of remote desktop files, organized by groups
* Make quick connections by directly putting in the server name
* Remote desktops with higher resolutions are scrollable/scalable in both
window and fullscreen mode
* Viewport fullscreen mode: remote desktop automatically scrolls when the
mouse moves over the screen edge.
* Floating toolbar in fullscreen mode, allows you to switch between modes,
toggle keyboard grabbing, minimize, etc.
* Tabbed interface, optionally managed by groups
* Supported network protocols: RDP, NX, Telepathy, VNC, XDMCP, SSH, Avahi
This is a standalone version of W. Richard Stevens' "sock" program,
based on the code available for the UNIX Network Programming book.
Adapted and reworked code for W. Richard Stevens' "sock" utility
by Christian Kreibich.
From the author: In TCP/IP Illustrated Vol. 1, Richard Stevens used
a program called "sock" to demonstrate the many properties of TCP/IP.
Unfortunately, the book only speaks about how to use the program but
does not point to a site for downloading its sources. While sock is
contained in the code package accompanying UNIX Network Programming,
this code is also getting dated.
The program can be used to generate TCP or UDP packets for testing
various network features. It runs as either client or server.
ReportLab is a software library that lets you directly create
documents in Adobe's Portabe Document Format (PDF) using the Python
programming language.
The ReportLab library directly creates PDF based on your graphics
commands. There are no intervening steps. Your applications can
generate reports extremely fast - sometimes orders of magnitude
faster than traditional report-writing tools.
The ReportLab library is expected to be useful in at least the
following contexts:
- Dynamic PDF generation on the web
- High-volume corporate reporting and database publishing
- An embeddable print engine for other applications, including
a 'report language' so that users can customize their own reports.
- A 'build system' for complex documents with charts, tables
and text such as management accounts, statistical reports and
scientific papers
- Going from XML to PDF in one step!

This module implements Ueli Maurer's algorithm for generating large
provable primes and secure parameters for public-key cryptosystems.
The generated primes are almost uniformly distributed over the set of
primes of the specified bitsize and expected time for generation is
less than the time required for generating a pseudo-prime of the same
size with Miller-Rabin tests. Detailed description and running time
analysis of the algorithm can be found in Maurer's paper[1].
Crypt::Primes is a pure perl implementation. It uses Math::Pari for
multiple precision integer arithmetic and number theoretic functions.
Random numbers are gathered with Crypt::Random, a perl interface to
/dev/u?random devices found on modern Unix operating systems.
arpCounterattack is a program for detecting and remedying "ARP attacks." It
monitors traffic on any number of Ethernet interfaces and examines ARP replies
and gratuitous ARP requests. If it notices an ARP reply or gratuitous ARP
request that is in conflict with its notion of "correct" Ethernet/IP address
pairs, it logs the attack if logging is enabled, and, if the Ethernet
interface that the attack was seen on is configured as being in aggressive
mode, it sends out a gratuitous ARP request and a gratuitous ARP reply with
the "correct" Ethernet/IP address pair in an attempt to reset the ARP tables
of hosts on the local network segment. The corrective gratuitous ARP request
and corrective gratuitous ARP reply can be sent from an Ethernet interface
other than the one that the attack was seen on.
The Heartbeat program is one of the core components of the Linux-HA
(High-Availability Linux) project. Heartbeat is highly portable,
and runs on every known Linux platform, and also on FreeBSD and
Solaris. Ports to other OSes are also in progress.
Heartbeat is the first piece of software which was written for the
Linux-HA project. It performs death-of-node detection,
communications and cluster management in one process.
The Heartbeat program has been around for a while. It has a great
many strengths, and yet there were a few weaknesses in version 1
that needed to be addressed:
- limitation on two nodes for cluster size
- inability to monitor resources for their correct operation
- minimal ability to express dependency information
This release removes these limitations.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MogileFS:
MogileFS was created by Danga Interactive for use with LiveJournal. It
is similar to the Andrew File System in its design goal. It is different
than a traditional filesystem in that the user has to access files via
an API. However, it's possible to implement the file system in user
space using FUSE, or a similar package.
MogileFS enables horizontal scaling of storage across any number of
machines. Files are replicated between machines according to
customizable rules such that at any time a number of drives or machines
could be lost without data becoming unavailable. It is designed for high
volume applications, such as high traffic websites, to spread storage
across cheaper machines without relying on technologies such as NFS.
