Visual Paradigm for UML (VP-UML) is a UML design tool and UML CASE
tool designed to aid software development. VP-UML supports key
industry standards such as Unified Modeling Language (UML), SysML,
BPMN, XMI, etc. It offers complete toolset software development
teams need for requirements capturing, software planning, test
planning, class modeling, data modeling, and etc.
The application provides the community edition, limited to
one diagram per diagram type in each project, and all the diagrams
and documentations generated from the Community Edition will show
a small Visual Paradigm logo at the top left corner.
This is a loadable extension to Tcl providing commands for data
conversion, message digests, zlib based compression, error-correction,
channel-based manipulation of binary data. Trf extends the language at
the C-level with so-called ``transformer''-procedures. With the help of
some patches (*) to the core the package is able to intercept all
read/write operations on designated channels, thus giving it the ability
to transform the buffer contents as desired. This allows things like
transparent encryption, compression, charset recoding, etc. Build upon
this framework (and as proof of concept) a collection of tcl-level
commands was implemented.
Autotrust is a command line tool to automatically update your DNSSEC
trust anchors. It is intended to run from a cron job and can run
next to any validating resolver. It makes use of ldns and libunbound.
The user space command line tools from the latest version of BIND:
delv, dig, host, nslookup, nsupdate
It also includes various dnssec related tools:
dnssec-dsfromkey, dnssec-importkey, dnssec-keyfromlabel, dnssec-keygen,
dnssec-revoke, dnssec-settime, dnssec-signzone, dnssec-verify
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.
GNU Libidn is an implementation of the Stringprep, Punycode,
and IDNA specifications defined by the IETF Internationalized
Domain Names (IDN) working group. It is used to prepare
internationalized strings (such as domain name labels,
usernames, and passwords) in order to increase the likelihood
that string input and string comparison work in ways that make
sense for typical users throughout the world. The library
contains a generic Stringprep implementation that does Unicode
3.2 NFKC normalization, mapping and prohibition of characters,
and bidirectional character handling. Profiles for iSCSI,
Kerberos 5, Nameprep, SASL, and XMPP are included. Punycode and
ASCII Compatible Encoding (ACE) via IDNA are supported.

BIND 9.9 includes a number of changes from BIND 9.8 and earlier releases,
including:
NXDOMAIN redirection
Improved startup and reconfiguration time, especially with large
numbers of authoritative zones
New "inline-signing" option, allows named to sign zones completely
transparently, including static zones
Many other new features, especially for DNSSEC
See the CHANGES file for more information on features.
Bindgraph makes pretty query statistics about BIND servers. It was derived
from well-known mailgraph package.
Credns is a software program aimed at fortifying DNSSEC by performing
validation in the DNS notify/transfer-chain.
dnscap is a network capture utility designed specifically for DNS
traffic. It normally produces binary data in pcap(3) format, either
on standard output or in successive dump files (based on the -w
command line option.) This utility is similar to tcpdump(1), but
has finer grained packet recognition tailored to DNS transactions
and protocol options. dnscap is expected to be used for gathering
continuous research or audit traces.
