pflogx is a simple tool to export OpenBSD's packet filter logs to XML files. It reads a binary logfile generated by the pf logging daemon (pflogd) to generate a human-readable and exploitable XML file. Using an XSLT processor you can convert this XML file to any other format (HTML, CSV, SQL, ...).

"pstack" is a workalike for the Solaris program of the same name. Running pstack on a process or core file produces a stack trace of each thread in that process. It's useful for finding out what wedged processes are up to, getting profiles of what applications, and just satisfying one's curiosity.

filelike is a Python module for building and manipulating file-like objects. This module takes care of the groundwork for implementing and manipulating objects that provide a rich file-like interface, including reading, writing, seeking and iteration. It also provides a number of useful classes built on top of this functionality.

Pdsh is a high-performance, parallel remote shell utility. It uses a sliding window of threads to execute remote commands, conserving socket resources while allowing some connections to timeout if needed. It was originally written as a replacement for IBM's DSH on clusters at LLNL.

Capistrano is a standalone utility that can also integrate nicely with Rails. You simply provide SwitchTower with a deployment "recipe" that describes your various servers and their roles, and voila! You magically have single-command deployment. It even allows you to roll a bad version out of production and revert back to the previous release.

Murder is a method of using Bittorrent to distribute files to a large amount of servers within a production environment. This allows for scaleable and fast deploys in environments of hundreds to tens of thousands of servers where centralized distribution systems wouldn't otherwise function.

Shellany captures command output. Features: - Portability (should work on recent JRuby versions). - Capturing stdout, stderr in a convenient way. - Returning the result in a convenient way. - Detecting if a shell is needed (though incomplete/primitive implementation). - Prevents running the same command multiple times.

Scalpel is a fast file carver that reads a database of header and footer definitions and extracts matching files or data fragments from a set of image files or raw device files. Scalpel is filesystem-independent and will carve files from FATx, NTFS, ext2/3, HFS+, or raw partitions. It is useful for both digital forensics investigation and file recovery.

The syslinux program installs a Linux bootloader on a FAT-formatted filesystem or disk image. This FreeBSD port can additionally operate on plain files containing a FAT image, thus requiring no special privilege. The program relies on mtools to perform the manipulation of the FAT filesystem.

The TAI64N format is a format for time stamps in log files, invented by Dan Bernstein and used by some of his software, most notably the multilog component of daemontools. That package comes with a program (tai64nlocal) to convert those time stamps to a human-readable date.
