Free 0.5 rc1 software for linux

Shift Linux is designed to give the user an experience of being part of the Neowin community as well as having a simple, easy-to-use Live CD that can be installed to your hard drive, if you enjoy the way our distribution works. Shift is a free, GPL-based Linux distribution that can be freely distributed or modified. There are no restrictions with Shift.
Shift Linux is a project that was created by the Neowin community (http://www.neowin.net). Based on Morphix Linux, Shift is Debian based, therefore it has access to all of the software and applications as other Debian distributions.
As we developed Shift, we decided to produce different versions of Shift for computers with lighter or more robust hardware configurations. We have produced Shift with Fluxbox as the predominant desktop manager, and Shift with Gnome, for heartier machines. We will also add a version that gives the user the opportunity continue to add different desktop managers as time goes on.
The project team consists of members with a wide variety of experiences and talents. Each has contributed in his / her own way. Whether team members have worked on the distribution itself, or the Shift website, their efforts have been dedicated to creating this quality product.
Enhancements:
- Shift Linux 0.5 (RC-1) is released. Shift Linux is a project that was created by the Neowin community.

Shift Linux 0.5 (RC-1) comes in three fully-branded editions: KDE, GNOME and Fluxbox, all live CDs. Included in this version are many popular packages, wireless support, and a desktop installer. Please feel free to try it out and post any bugs that you may find.

Solex is a free open source Web application testing tool built as a plug-in for the Eclipse IDE. Solex project provides functions to record a client session, adjust it according to various parameters and replay it later typically in order to ensure non regression of the applications behaviour (with stress testing capabilities being added at a later stage).
By recording, we mean that Solex acts as an HTTP proxy and records all HTTP requests and responses going through the wire between a Web client (eg. a Web browser) and a Web server. The task of replaying a scenario consists in sending the previously recorded and eventually customized HTTP requests to the server and asserting each response.
Solex started as an internal project because we were unable to find an open source testing tool fully suitable to our needs and in particular capable of dynamically altering requests. Furthermore, the tool was expected to be fully integrated with our internal development environment based on the Eclipse platform.
For some web applications, a request depends on a previous servers response. To address such a requirement, Solex introduces the concept of extraction and replacement rules. An extraction rule tied to an HTTP message content will bind an extracted value with a variable. A replacement rule will replace any part of an HTTP message with a variable content.
Solex therefore provides an easy way to extract URL parameters, Header values or any part of a request or a response, bind their values with variables and then replace URL parameters, Header values or any part of a request with the variable content.
Example:
Lets imagine the next two requests recorded from a Web browser:
GET http://www.myServer/myWebApp?action=connect HTTP/1.1
GET http://www.myServer/myWebApp?action=list&dynamic_id=12345 HTTP/1.1
Replaying these two requests without any modification may fail because dynamic_id must be different each time. This value may come from the first response body content. By using Solex, it is possible to add an extraction rule to the first response (e.g. obtaining the value 12345) and a replacement rule to the second request (e.g. populating the dynamic_id parameter with the value extracted).
Moreover, Solex provides the user with the capability to add assertions for each response. Once a response has been received, all assertions of this response will be called to ensure that it is valid. If not, the playback process is stopped.
Solex provides several kinds of rules and assertions, the most complicated ones support regular expressions and XPath.
Solex 0.5.0 works with Eclipse Release 2.1.2, Build id: 200311030802 and Solex 0.5.3 works with Eclipse Release 3.1.1, Build id: M20050929-0840. You will also need a JRE 1.4.x or later.
Enhancements:
- This version contains several enhancements and bugfixes such as compliance with Eclipse 3.1.1, use of Jakarta HTTPClient 3.0 final, SSL support during playback, use of the Commons Logging library, improved Javadoc, and more.

Pas2Dox is a pre-processor addon for the Doxygen documentation generator.
Pascal To Doxygen allows the production of advanced documentation from Delphi/Kylix sourcecode.
Installation:
Compiling from source on Linux
Unpack the archive
# tar xvzf pas2dox-xx.tar.gz
Build the source for a case insensitive scanner, with the following command:
# make
This will perform the follow commands
# flex -i -opas2dox.cpp pas2dox.l
# g++ pas2dox.cpp -o pas2dox
If you need to remove the pas2dox.cpp and pas2dox files, type
# make clean
When performing an upgrade of source code, I suggest you do the following
# make clean && make
Installing the binaries on Linux
Copy the pas2dox binary to /usr/local/bin/pas2dox
# make install
If you need to install to another place, use
# make install INSTALL_DIR="/your/location/here"
Enhancements:
- Added include file for tolower to fix build on linux
- handle default values and multi line comments on enums.
- Updated for typedef
- Dont process end of block comment } in a single comment line
- read / write for properties are now handled correctly. see bug 6
- Additional Doxygen comments on array declaration.
- Assigning a value to a var when declaring it
- Updated copyright year and version
- Swapped typedef
- added -s option to suppress generation of sa comments on property.
- fixed issue with function comments in function definition.
- Additional end check.

AIDE (Advanced Intrusion Detection Environment) is a free replacement for Tripwire. It does the same things as the semi-free Tripwire and more.

There are other free replacements available so why build a new one? All the other replacements do not achieve the level of Tripwire. And I wanted a program that would exceed the limitations of Tripwire.

AIDE project creates a database from the regular expression rules that it finds from the config file. Once this database is initialized it can be used to verify the integrity of the files.

It has several message digest algorithms (md5,sha1,rmd160,tiger,haval,etc.) that are used to check the integrity of the file. More algorithms can be added with relative ease.

All of the usual file attributes can also be checked for inconsistencies. It can read databases from older or newer versions. See the manual pages within the distribution for further info.

fhp is a set of m4 macros for creating Web pages that conform to GNU standards. fhp project automatically generates an HTML skeleton and the table of contents, and adds an link to GNU on every page.

Web pages are easily generated with a Makefile. This project was formerly known as GNU ml.

Installation:

The simplest way to compile this package is:

1. `cd to the directory containing the packages source code and type `./configure to configure the package for your system. If youre using `csh on an old version of System V, you might need to type `sh ./configure instead to prevent `csh from trying to execute `configure itself.

Running `configure takes awhile. While running, it prints some messages telling which features it is checking for.

2. Type `make to compile the package.

3. Optionally, type `make check to run any self-tests that come with the package.

4. Type `make install to install the programs and any data files and documentation.

5. You can remove the program binaries and object files from the source code directory by typing `make clean. To also remove the files that `configure created (so you can compile the package for a different kind of computer), type `make distclean. There is also a `make maintainer-clean target, but that is intended mainly for the packages developers. If you use it, you may have to get all sorts of other programs in order to regenerate files that came with the distribution.
