Software
- ngrep - Network
Grep. Extended regex or hexadecimal matching of data payloads of
packets (in addition to pcap filter). Strives to match as much
functionality in GNU grep as possible. Now included in
NetBSD, Trinux, Debian, and Suse
Linux.
>>> NEW: 1.43 released on 2/23/05 <<<
- ORAPP - ORA++ OCI
Interface Library. C++ class library modeled after mysql++,
sits on top of OCI, and originally open-sourced by Napster,
Inc.. This latest version represents a clean-room rewrite
of the previous incarnation, and is cleaner, more efficient,
and Better.
>>> NEW: 2.0.3 released on 3/13/04 <<<
- kedge - A small
utility app to do edge-sensitive virtual-desktop switching
with your mouse in KDE 2.x and 3.x.
>>> NEW 1.3 released on 10/28/03 <<<
- enum - you know, it's
just stupefyingly amazing how much info an NT box will give
you. This is a little CLI utility for Windows NT that will
enumerate all sorts of information about windows boxes.
Source included (at least VC++ 5 required). I wrote this
while with the RAZOR
Security Team at BindView Corporation.
Also, check out Winfingerprint,
which was developed separately and shares a lot of functionality
(with the added bonus that it outputs pretty HTML reports, does mass
scanning, and other cool shit).
- xsniff - a simple X11
keyboard logger that auto-rescans the window tree at regular
intervals. Very, er, handy.
Scripts
- iCopy - A simple perl
script based on some ipod perl utils to copy your music
off of your iPod! Should work on any platform (Win32,
UNIX, *BSD).
- CuteMX Client - for
GlobalSCAPE's CuteMX service. some features may not work (the
protocol has been changed around so it's not so broken).
Written in Perl. Long since deprecated since their service
doesn't seem to be available anymore..
- Warscan - An
Internet Scanner Dispatch. This script will take any external
program, provide a number of options for invoking that program
in parallel (including generation of IP lists and massping
functionality to validate their availability). Inspired by
IPD, written in Perl.
Patches
- GnuPG patch to extend
functionality to pull down keys from a keyserver manually, with
structure to add additional supported URIs. For 0.9.2.
This is a deprecated patch, since Werner decided to do this
in a different (and more complicated, IMHO) way. The good
news is, GnuPG has the capability to retrieve keys from a key
server, either way.
- Bzip2 1.0.2 patch
- this patch adds -p/--progress to bzip2 to display a progress
bar (useful for long bzip2/bunzip2's).
- CFS
1.4.0-beta2 patch - I first ran into the NFS-based
Cryptographic FileSystem back in RedHat 6.2, and have used it ever
since. However, no one really actively maintains it anymore, and
most people who have tried to use it have run into ugly
compilation problems, or just can't get past the fact that the
tools don't work on Linux 2.4.x given its old method of using
timer interrupt latency to gather randomness. This patch just
adds a quick hack to use /dev/urandom instead and static
compile targets (!). (full source,
static
binaries)
- STLport 4.5.3 BSDI 4.3/x86
patch - STLport, which is presumed to be the most
portable, consistent Standard Template Library implementation
in existence (next to the new STL in the latest GCC'en, I
suppose), doesn't support BSDI 4.3. This patch adds support
for it.
- PTypes 1.7.4 BSDI 4.3/x86
patch - PTypes, aka the Portable Types Library, is an
open-source library designed to make common constructs like
mutexes, threads, and various network and I/O operations
consistent across as many platforms as possible.
Unfortunately, it doesn't yet support BSDI 4.3. This patch
adds support for it. If you use this, make sure to change
/usr/include/sys/semaphore.h and erase the gratuitous
"semaphore" from the first typedef; otherwise PTypes
won't compile.
Configuration
- dot-emacs (.emacs)
config - This is a highly customized dot-emacs that
does all sorts of things like setting individual colors,
converting tabs to spaces, useful key combinations, etc.
Everything is commented too so it's easy to change to
another's liking.
Necessity is truly the mother of invention.
