former QueSO home page <URL:http://www.apostols.org/projectz/queso/>:
How we can determine the remote OS using simple TCP packets? Well,
it's easy, they're packets that don't make any sense, so the RFCs
don't clearly state what to answer in these kind of situations.
Facing this ambiguous, each TCP/IP stack takes a different approach
to the problem, and this way, we get a different response. In some
cases (like Linux, to name one) some programming mistakes make the OS
detectable.
QueSO sends:
0 SYN * THIS IS VALID, used to verify LISTEN
1 SYN+ACK
2 FIN
3 FIN+ACK
4 SYN+FIN
5 PSH
6 SYN+XXX+YYY * XXX & YYY are unused TCP flags
All packets have a random seq_num and a 0x0 ack_num.
ubh - the Usenet Binary Harvester - is a GPL'ed Perl console
application which automatically discovers, downloads, and decodes
single-part and multi-part Usenet binaries. Automatically assembles
multi-part binaries. Provides searching via Perl regular expression
syntax. Also provides a pre-selection capability whereby the user
can
interactively choose which binaries to download. Uses a standard
.newsrc file to control which groups and articles to process.
Runs anywhere Perl runs. Tested under Unix-based Perl, Active Perl
on Win32 platforms, and Mac OS X. Requires Net::NNTP and
News::Newsrc
(which itself requires Set::IntSpan), MIME::Parser, MIME::Base64,
IO::Stringy, and MailTools (distribution).

If PDF is electronic paper, then pdftk is an electronic staple-remover,
hole-punch, binder, secret-decoder-ring, and X-Ray-glasses.
Pdftk is a simple tool for doing everyday things with PDF documents.
Keep one in the top drawer of your desktop and use it to:
Merge PDF Documents
Split PDF Pages into a New Document
Decrypt Input as Necessary (Password Required)
Encrypt Output as Desired
Burst a PDF Document into Single Pages
Report on PDF Metrics, including Metadata and Bookmarks
Uncompress and Re-Compress Page Streams
Repair Corrupted PDF (Where Possible)
Pdftk is also an example of how to use a library of Java classes
in a stand-alone C++ program. Specifically, it demonstrates how GCJ and CNI
allow C++ code to use iText's (itext-paulo) Java classes.
Orthanc aims at providing a simple, yet powerful standalone DICOM
server. It is designed to improve the DICOM flows in hospitals and to
support research about the automated analysis of medical images.
Orthanc can turn any computer running Windows, Linux, FreeBSD or OS X
into a DICOM store (in other words, a mini-PACS system). Its
architecture is lightweight and standalone, meaning that no complex
database administration is required, nor the installation of third-party
dependencies.
What makes Orthanc unique is the fact that it provides a RESTful API.
Thanks to this major feature, it is possible to drive Orthanc from any
computer language. The DICOM tags of the stored medical images can be
downloaded in the JSON file format. Furthermore, standard PNG images can
be generated on-the-fly from the DICOM instances by Orthanc.
Orthanc lets its users focus on the content of the DICOM files, hiding
the complexity of the DICOM format and of the DICOM protocol.
HDF5 is a completely new Hierarchical Data Format product consisting of a data
format specification and a supporting library implementation. HDF5 is designed
to address some of the limitations of the older HDF product and to address
current and anticipated requirements of modern systems and applications.
HDF5 includes the following improvements:
- A new file format designed to address some of the deficiencies of HDF4.x,
particularly the need to store larger files and more objects per file.
- A simpler, more comprehensive data model that includes only two basic
structures: a multidimensional array of record structures, and a grouping
structure.
- A simpler, better-engineered library and API, with improved support for
parallel I/O, threads, and other requirements imposed by modern systems
and applications.
Kst is a fast real-time large-dataset viewing and plotting tool
with basic data analysis functionality. Kst contains many powerful
built-in features and is expandable with plugins and extensions.
Features of Kst include:
- Robust plotting of live "streaming" data.
- Powerful keyboard and mouse plot manipulation.
- Large selection of built-in plotting and data manipulation functions,
such as histograms, equations, and power spectra.
- Color mapping and contour mapping capabilities for three-dimensional
data, as well as matrix and image support.
- Monitoring of events and notifications support.
- Built-in filtering and curve fitting capabilities.
- Convenient command-line interface.
- Powerful graphical user interface.
- Support for several popular data formats.
- Extended annotation objects similar to vector graphics applications.
This port provide Kst 2, which is based on Qt4. It still lacks scripting
support and backward compatibility with Kst 1.x series (you can't open
kst-1 files in Kst 2).
TinyCA is a simple graphical userinterface written in Perl/Tk to manage a
small CA (Certification Authority).
Currently TinyCA supports the following features:
* unlimited number of CAs
* support for creating and managing SubCAs
* Creation and Revocation of x509 - S/MIME certificates
* PKCS#10 Requests can be imported and signed
* RSA and DSA keys can be generated and used
* Servercertificates
o Certificates can be exported as: PEM, DER, TXT and PKCS#12
o Certificates may be used with e.g. Apache, Postfix, OpenLDAP,
Cyrus and FreeS/WAN
* Clientcertificates
o Certificates can be exported as: PEM, DER, TXT and PKCS#12
o Certificates may be used with e.g. Netscape, Konqueror, Opera,
Internet Explorer, Outlook (Express) and FreeS/WAN
* Certificate Revocation List
o CRLs can be exported as: PEM, DER and TXT
viewglob is an utility designed to complement the Unix shell in
graphical environments. It has two parts:
1. A tool that sits as a layer between the shell and X terminal,
keeping track of the user's current directory and command line.
2. A graphical display which shows the layouts of directories
referenced on the command line (including pwd).
The display reveals the results of file globs and expansions as they
are typed (hence the name), highlighting selected files and potential
name completions.
It can also be used as a surrogate terminal, where keystrokes typed in
the display are passed to the shell. Files and directories can be
double-clicked to insert their names and/or paths into the terminal.
clone is a file tree cloning tool which runs 3 threads - a scheduler (main), a
reader, and a writer thread. Reading and writing occurs in parallel. While this
is most beneficial for copying data from one physical disk to another, clone is
also very well suited for cloning a file tree to any place on the same disk.
Cloning includes the whole directory hierarchy, i.e. sub-directories, files,
hard links, symbolic links, attributes (modes, flags, times), extended
attributes and access control lists.
clone is useful for cloning (thus backing-up) live file systems, and it can
also be used in incremental and synchronization mode.
clone works on FreeBSD and Mac OS X.
clone is very fast, for example, cloning a whole UFS2 file hierarchy on
FreeBSD 9.1 of in total 2.3 TBytes of data from one hard disk to another
took 7.5 h, so the average transfer rate for all kind of files (very small
up to very big ones) was about 89 MByte/s.
powerman is free Unix/Linux software that controls (remotely and in
parallel) switched power distribution units. It was designed for remote
power control of Linux systems in a data center or cluster environment, but
has been used in other environments such as embedded management appliances,
home automation, and high availability service management.
powerman can be extended to support new devices using an expect-like
scripting language. It communicates with devices natively using telnet,
raw socket, and serial protocols. It also can drive virtual power control
devices via a coprocess interface. The coprocess mechanism has been used
to extend powerman to communicate with devices using other protocols such
as SNMP, IPMI, Insteon, X-10, and VXI-11.
powerman can control equipment connected using any combination of the above
methods and provide unified naming for the equipment and parallel execution
of control actions.
