Vipul's Razor is a distributed, collaborative, spam detection and filtering
network. Razor establishes a distributed and constantly updating catalogue
of spam in propagation. This catalogue is used by clients to filter out
known spam. On receiving a spam, a Razor Reporting Agent (run by an end-user
or a troll box) calculates and submits a 20-character unique identification
of the spam (a SHA Digest) to its closest Razor Catalogue Server. The
Catalogue Server echos this signature to other trusted servers after storing
it in its database. Prior to manual processing or transport-level reception,
Razor Filtering Agents (end-users and MTAs) check their incoming mail against
a Catalogue Server and filter out or deny transport in case of a signature
match. Catalogued spam, once identified and reported by a Reporting Agent,
can be blocked out by the rest of the Filtering Agents on the network.
SOCKS servers are a form of proxy that are commonly used
in firewalled LAN environments to allow access between networks,
and often to the Internet.
The problem is that most applications don't know how to gain
access through SOCKS servers.
This means that network based applications
that don't understand SOCKS are very limited in networks they can reach.
An example of this is simple 'telnet'.
If you're on a network firewalled from the internet
with a SOCKS server for outside access,
telnet can't use this server and thus can't telnet out to the Internet.
tsocks' role is to allow these non SOCKS aware applications
(e.g telnet, ssh, ftp etc) to use SOCKS without any modification.
It does this by intercepting the
calls that applications make to establish network connections
and negotating them through a SOCKS server as necessary.
p5-Astro-SIMBAD-Client provides an object-oriented interface to
SIMBAD4. The new SOAP queries are supported, with the object carrying
default output type and output format, as well as server name on the
assumption that mirrors will be forthcoming.
mrtg-mysq-load is a small Perl script which is meant
to be run by mrtg. It will fetch the total number of queries
and slow queries handled by a mysql server.
BIND::Conf_Parser implements a virtual base class for parsing BIND (Berkeley
Internet Name Domain) server version 8 configuration files ("named.conf").
As each meaningful semantic 'chunk' is parsed, a callback method is invoked
with the parsed information.
Yet another Canna client
YC is a Japanese input method on Emacs/XEmacs. YC is written in
emacs lisp and can access to Canna server directly.
YC works well even if your Emacs does not support Canna.
Net::IMAP::Client provides methods to access an IMAP server. It aims to
provide a simple and clean API, while employing a rigorous parser for
IMAP responses in order to create Perl data structures from them.
Net_Sieve is a PEAR class which handles talking to timsieved.
Provides an API to talk to the timsieved server that comes with Cyrus
IMAPd. Can be used to install, remove, mark active, etc. SIEVE scripts.
LuaSec is a binding for OpenSSL library to provide TLS/SSL communication. This
version delegates to LuaSocket the TCP connection establishment between the
client and server. Then LuaSec uses this connection to start a secure TLS/SSL
session.
This package serves two purposes:
(i) Provide a comfortable R interface to query the Google server
for static maps.
(ii) Use the map as a background image to overlay plots within R.
This requires proper coordinate scaling.
