Free 1 wire software for linux

Laptops which use dynamic IP address assignment via DHCP have the problem that the boot process is much longer when no wire is connected to the Ethernet card. This is because the startup scripts have to wait for the DHCP request to time out.

ethwireck can detect if the physical layer of the Ethernet is up. This can then be used in the init script for your network card to determine whether or not an interface should be brought up. In other words a timeout is avoided.

ethwireck is similar to mii-tool but it can work with more ethernet cards (not only drivers with an mii interface).


Note: I discovered recently that ethwireck does not work with all cards as expected. The problem seems to be that some cards support the interface but do not report the status as expected. I am currently invesitgating this problem. Wait for ethwireck-1.3.

To install it:
run
make
make install
or to not install to /usr/sbin/ethwireck but to /opt you can use
make PREFIX=/opt install

So far I have tested ethwireck only with 2.4.x Kernels. Probably
it will also work with 2.6.x Kernels but I have not used it
on a 2.6.x Kernel.

MailRecon is Unix email content control application. It does listen network traffic, capture SMTP messages, analyse it (checks against very flexible and extendable checklist), discards usual private/business messages and save suspicious messages for detailed inspection by security staff.
Main features:
- Capturing email messages from the wire. So its compatible will all mailing software, do not require any reconfiguration and captures messages even if its sent directly to recipient bypassing your mailserver.
- Support for SMTP and POP3 protocols.
- Very flexible mailing filter which goes with MailRecon allows to record only suspicious messages which worth to be examined, and skip usual private and business messages.
- Open Architecture. MailRecon supports plugins for analysis and save of messages. Its very easy to extend its functionality with new plugins - every programmer and system administrator can write it.
- Thanks to Open Architecture, you can use your favorite mail reader or browser to manage archive of captured suspicious messages.
- For limited time, WWW-Security offers free installation and support of evaluation versions on your servers.
- FREE evaluation version which is never expires!
Installation:
- Create user mailrecon and groups mailrecon and mail
- From installation directory run "make install" (as root)
- Copy init.d/mailrecon to your init.d directory and optionally create symlinks from rcN directories if you want to automatially start mailrecon on boot.

RIFE project is a full-stack web application framework with tools and APIs to implement most common web features. Each of its toolkits is usable by itself and together they offer powerful integrated features that boost your productivity.
RIFE ensures that every declaration and definition is handled in one place in the code. This simplifies the developers task by reducing code replication, enforcing consistency, and easing maintenance.
RIFEs design provides the best of request-based and component-based approaches and blends them together in a consistent component object model. The web engine provides a solution that values maintainability without compromising on productivity.
Through a centralized site structure, an application can be split up into easily reusable binary modules that can be seamlessly integrated into other projects.
There are currently two major schools of web application development frameworks: request-based and component-based.
Request-based frameworks are very close to the original CGI specification. They use controllers and actions that directly handle incoming requests. Each request is fundamentally stateless.
With the introduction of server-side sessions, a certain degree of statefulness has been achieved. The different frameworks basically differentiate themselves by the way they map logic to URLs and how data is structured and provided to the developer.
Component-based frameworks abstract the developer away from the internals of the request handling and encapsulate the logic into reusable components, often independent from the web medium.
The state is automatically handled by the framework, based on the data that is present in each component instance. Together with some form of event handling, this development model is very similar to the features offered by desktop GUI toolkits. The different frameworks basically differentiate themselves by the provided component API and how components are combined together.
RIFE combines both by taking control of the entire data and logic flow in a request-based model. Developers remain close to the architecture of CGI applications and have full control over URLs, forms, parameters, cookies and pathinfos.
However, instead of mapping actions and controllers directly to the request, RIFE provides a component object model that behaves identically in many different situations such as individual pages, intercepted requests, portal-like page fragments and integratable widgets.
Components can be wired together and be packaged as groups that are components in their own right. They can be distributed separately and be seamlessly integrated into any other RIFE project. This provides the same form of reusability as component-based frameworks, but with the raw control of the request-based approach.
Enhancements:
- Transparent meta data merging has been implemented, which is a creative solution to keeping POJOs pure and still make it possible to declare dynamic meta data in plain Java.
- Other highlights of this release are: new (X)HTML template tag syntaxes, experimental Ajax support with DWR integration, embedded element priorities, strict pathinfo mapping, deprecated CmfProperty and CmfValidation, flowlink-specific datalinks, mail queue support for authentication and SSL, support for setting reflexive outputs and globalvars across submissions, and several bugfixes.

Oww Client is a graphical client program for One-Wire Weather (Oww) servers. Oww Client is based on GTK+, displaying lists of collected weather data from one or more servers.
Enhancements:
- Owwl was enhanced to include new sensor types (mainly for cryogenic readout).
- A status window was added.
- Reconnexion is now automatic, after the remote server drops it.

rssgen is a PHP RSS generator. rssgen program does not require a database, as the information is written directly to an XML file.

You can create new headlines, modify existing ones, and preview how they will appear.

It is written in PHP and released under the GPL open source license.

About RSS:

RSS is a format for syndicating news and the content of news-like sites, including major news sites like Wired, news-oriented community sites like Slashdot, and personal weblogs. But its not just for news.

Pretty much anything that can be broken down into discrete items can be syndicated via RSS: the "recent changes" page of a wiki, a changelog of CVS checkins, even the revision history of a book. Once information about each item is in RSS format, an RSS-aware program can check the feed for changes and react to the changes in an appropriate way.

Eric S. Raymonds Fetchmail is a full-featured, robust, well-documented remote-mail retrieval and forwarding utility intended to be used over on-demand TCP/IP links (such as SLIP or PPP connections).
Retchmail project supports every remote-mail protocol now in use on the Internet: POP2, POP3, RPOP, APOP, KPOP, all flavors of IMAP, ETRN, and ODMR. It can even support IPv6? and IPSEC.
RetchMail is the worlds most stupidly fast POP3 retriever.
It is almost completely unlike fetchmail: RetchMail lacks features, isnt particularly robust (although it wont delete a message until sendmail says it was delivered okay), has nearly no documentation, and is actually fast.
Thanks to PatrickPattersons WvSSLStream?, RetchMail also supports POP3-SSL, which is much more secure than the RPOP, APOP, KPOP and other password obfuscation routines currently en vogue to hide your password. SSL has the nice feature that not only is your password secure going across the wire, but so is the rest of your mail.
Enhancements:
- Updated to compile and run with WvStreams 4.4.
- Now works properly with GMails pop support.
- Documentation updates.
