tests business / commercial software for linux

Beltane is a web-based central management console for the Samhain file integrity / intrusion detection system. Beltane project enables the administrator to browse client messages, acknowledge them, and update centrally stored file signature databases.
Beltane requires a Samhain (version 1.6.0 or higher) client/server installation, with file signature databases stored on the central server, and logging to a SQL database enabled.
In a client/server installation of Samhain, you have individual hosts monitored by Samhain clients, and a central log server (called yule) where also the file signature databases are kept. Beltane enhances this setup by providing an interface to browse client messages, acknowledge them, and modify the file signature database for a client according to the file changes reported by that client.
As the Samhain daemon keeps a memory of file changes, the file signature database need only be up to date when the daemon restarts and downloads the database from the central server. Beltane allows you to use the information logged by the client in order to update the signature database.
Details
Beltane is a PHP4 (also works with PHP5) application, with some additional components written in C. PHP4 (or PHP5) may be compiled as Apache module or as CGI interpreter (Beltane is tested with Linux, Apache 1.3/2.0, PHP 4.3.4/5.0.3 used as CGI interpreter, suexec, no SSL, MySQL and PostgreSQL databases).
Beltane 2 can also be used with an Oracle database.
On the client side, Beltane requires a Javascript capable browser. Cookies must be enabled. We recommend Mozilla/Firefox, as it is rumoured to be the most standard-conforming browser, but most inferior browsers may work as well.
Documentation is provided as SGML and HTML files within the tarball. You are adviced to read the documentation before attempting to install Beltane.
Main features:
- Major performance and scalability improvements for reduced memory consumption, faster baseline database updates, and faster reload of the client panel
- Support for Oracle database (Beltane version 2.1.1 and above)
- Client Status Display (running/dead/unknown)
- Bulk Update from user-defined criteria like: the hostname, a list of files (with or without checksums), or a time window
- On-the-fly Sorting of the message list
- Message Filtering with POSIX regular expressions
- GnuPG Signing of client file signature databases after an update
- Search function for the database.
- Editing of client configurations
- Client Configuration Reload can be triggered
- Multiple Users with logging of login/logouts
- Server Messages can be viewed optionally
Enhancements:
- Multiple administrator accounts are possible, per-user configurability has been improved, and a strict locking policy has been implemented to avoid race conditions.

Major Features:

1. Upload and download speed test measurements
2. Connections often have different upload and download speeds, but most bandwidth tests only measure the download speed, providing only half the picture. MySpeed accurately reports both upload and download speeds.
3. Reports bandwidth consistency (QOS), Max Pause and Round Trip Time (RTT)
4. The consistency of download capacity is a critical measure for bandwidth-intensive applications such as VoIP and multimedia. MySpeed reports Quality of Service measurements of consistent bandwidth delivery. Max Pause, the longest pause recorded during the data download, and RTT are also reported.
5. Highly accurate
6. MySpeed has been carefully engineered and tested to accurately measure connection speeds. See the Broadband Speed Tester Benchmarks article.
7. Can be combined with scripting for customized implementations
8. MySpeed has the ability to call a JavaScript function when a speed test completes, enabling you to do most anything with the test results via JavaScript scripting, such as the options below. Try the live demo.
9. Dynamically changing the HTML in the MySpeed web page based upon speed test results
10. Provide connectivity analysis in a popup window
11. Redirecting to another URL based upon the results.
12. Easy implementation
13. Unlike other speed testers, MySpeeds innovative design does not require any scripts or configuration changes. Just add the MySpeed files to your existing web server!
14. Easy web page customization
15. MySpeed may be easily incorporated into your web pages, or modify the default MySpeed speed test web page to the look and feel of your website.
16. NEW! End-users can easily email test results
17. A bundled JavaScript option enables the end-user to easily send speed test results to your help desk staff or other address. Try the live demo.
18. VoIP Connection Analysis
19. Use MySpeeds bundled JavaScript option to analyze a broadband connection and determine the number of VoIP lines that can be supported. Modify the JavaScript as needed to fit your needs. Try the live demo.
20. Display connection quality test results in common terminology
21. Display connection quality (QOS), Round Trip Time (RTT) and Max Pause results in non-technical terms as Excellent, Good or Poor.
22. Automated start option
23. Seemlessly initiates a connection speed test when a visitor goes to your MySpeed page. Try the live demo.
24. Customizable display of speed test chart
25. Easily modify the applet display to change the speed test scale, show/hide text labels, change the applet colors, and more! You can even customize the MySpeed applet text to display in another language.

Enhancements:

• Max Attainable Speed (the calculated maximum TCP connect speed that is supported by a network connection)
• Max Route Speed (the maximum speed that may be attained on the route being tested)
• TCP Forced Idle Percent (the TCP idle time invoked because the route being tested is too slow end-to-end).
