Free adminastar federal software for linux

OpenTaxSolver (OTS) project is a free program for calculating Tax Form entries and tax-owed or refund-due, such as Federal or State personal income taxes.
An optional graphical front-end, OTS_GUI, has been added. Currently, TaxSolver has been updated for the 2005 tax-year for the following forms: US 1040 and Schedules A, B, C, & D.
As well as for California, Massachusetts, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania State Taxes for 2005 tax-year, thanks to contributors. Updates for the following additional states are expected to be posted soon: North Carolina, New York, Ohio, and Virginia. Preliminary versions for Canada and the United Kingdom were posted in previous years and may be updated with help from volunteers.
Motivations:
- To make tax preparation software available for all platforms.
- To provide insight into how our taxes are calculated in clear unambiguous equations/code.
- To avoid invasive, bloated commercial software packages.
- To avoid rewriting our own individual programs each year by combining efforts.
- To provide a simple reliable tax-package requiring only rudimentary knowledge to maintain.
Enhancements:
- Automatic phone credit was added to US1040.
- It will automatically calculate standard one-time phone credit, if not otherwise specified on US1040 line 71.
- The NJ State form F line 5 was fixed.

Station Info program searches for and displays AM, FM, and TV station entries from databases supplied by the US Federal Communications Commission (also known as the FCC).

The station-info program provides many ways of selecting a collection of stations for display, and several criteria by which these stations can be sorted.

Detailed information on each station is available, including an antenna radiation pattern, ownership information, and whatever else seems useful.

The program is currently available in source code form only. It has been developed and tested on a GNU/Linux platform, but should build without problem on any platform that supports the Gtk+ toolkit and the Gnome libraries.

Business::Payroll is a series of Perl Modules that provides an API for working with multiple countries federal, state and local taxes.
Payroll Perl Modules project also supports calculating mileage reimbursement values and can handle adjustment entries.
The Business::Payroll module starts with an xml document in the Input format and if everything is successfull, outputs the results in the Output XML format.
Currently only the US is supported and MO is the only supported state. We are not supporting any cities in MO yet. Federal Income, FICA, Medicare and Mileage Rates are all being calculated. We take into account the number of allowances people can claim and the fact that you can withhold more for federal and state.
Federal Income tables are only available for any date >= 07/01/2001.
See the payroll_test.pl script and input.xml file for a sample implementation.
Use process_payroll (in the /usr/bin directory after an rpm install, otherwise in the payroll-x.y directory) to actually process payroll files for real.
process_payroll will take the specified raw xml file and process it. If no errors occured, then you get the result on stdout. If you specify 2 file names the result will go into the second file. You can specify - (for the first file) and it will know to work with stdin. I.e. you can pipe the file to be processed. Ex. cat input.xml | process_payroll - would process input.xml from the stdin and then output the result to stdout.
Enhancements:
- This release has been updated to cover the 2006 tax changes.

Test::STDmaker is a Perl module to generate test scripts, demo scripts from a test description short hand.

SYNOPSIS

#######
# Procedural (subroutine) interface
#
use Test::STDmake qw(find_t_roots get_data perl_command);

@t_path = find_t_paths()
$date = get_date();
$myperl = perl_command();

#####
# Class interface
#
use Test::STDmaker

$std = new Test::STDmaker( @options ); # From File::Maker

$success = $std->check_db($std_pm);
@t_path = $std->find_t_paths()
$date = $std->get_date();
$myperl = $std->perl_command();

$std->tmake( @targets, %options );
$std->tmake( @targets );
$std->tmake( %options );

######
# Internal (Private) Methods
#
$success = $std->build($std_driver_class);
$success = $std->generate();
$success = $std->print($file_out);

The Test::STDmaker program module provides the following capabilities:
Automate Perl related programming needed to create a test script resulting in reduction of time and cost.

Translate a short hand Software Test Description (STD) file into a Perl test script that eventually makes use of the Test module.

Translate the sort hand STD data file into a Perl demo script that demonstrates the features of the the module under test.

Provide in the POD of a STD file information required by a Military/Federal Government Software Test Description (STD) document that may easily be index and accessed by automated Test software. ISO, British Military require most of the same information, US agencies such as the FAA. The difference is that ISO, British Military do not dictate detail format. US agencies such as FAA will generally tailor down the DOD required formats.

Thus, there is an extremely wide variation in the format of the same information among ISO certified comericial activities and militaries other than US. Once the information is in a POD, different translators may format nearly exactly as dictated by the end user, whether it is the US DOD, ISO certified commericial activity, British Military or whoever. By being able to provide the most demanding, which is usually US DOD, the capabilities are there for all the others.

The Test::STDmaker package relieves the designer and developer from the burden of filling out word processor boiler plate templates (whether run-off, Word, or vi), counting oks, providing documentation examples, tracing tests to test requirments, making sure it is in the proper corporate, ISO or military format, and other such extremely time consuming, boring, development support tasks. Instead the designers and developers need only to fill in a form using a test description short hand. The Test::STDmaker will take it from there and automatically and quickly generate the desired test scripts, demo scripts, and test description documents.

Look at the economics. It does not make economically sense to have expensive talent do this work. In does not even make economically sense to take a bright 16 year, at mimimum wage and have him manually count oks. Perl can count those oks much much cheaper and it is so easily to automated with Perl. And something like this were you are doing it year in and year out, the saving are enormous. To a program manager or contract officer, this is what programming and computers are all about, saving money and increasing productivity, not object oriented oriented programing, gotos or other such things.

The Test::STDmaker class package automates the generation of Software Test Descriptions (STD) Plain Old Documentation (POD), test scripts, demonstrations scripts and the execution of the generated test scripts and demonstration scripts. It will automatically insert the output from the demonstration script into the POD -headx Demonstration section of the file being tested.

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). Fetchmail 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.
Fetchmail retrieves mail from remote mail servers and forwards it via SMTP, so it can then be read by normal mail user agents such as mutt, elm(1) or BSD Mail. It allows all your system MTAs filtering, forwarding, and aliasing facilities to work just as they would on normal mail.
Fetchmail offers better security than any other Unix remote-mail client. It supports APOP, KPOP, OTP, Compuserve RPA, Microsoft NTLM, and IMAP RFC1731 encrypted authentication methods including CRAM-MD5 to avoid sending passwords en clair. It can be configured to support end-to-end encryption via tunneling with ssh, the Secure Shell.
Fetchmail can be used as a POP/IMAP-to-SMTP gateway for an entire DNS domain, collecting mail from a single drop box on an ISP and SMTP-forwarding it based on header addresses. (We dont really recommend this, though, as it may lose important envelope-header information. ETRN or a UUCP connection is better.)
Fetchmail can be started automatically and silently as a system daemon at boot time. When running in this mode with a short poll interval, it is pretty hard for anyone to tell that the incoming mail link is not a full-time "push" connection.
Fetchmail is easy to configure. You can edit its dotfile directly, or use the interactive GUI configurator (fetchmailconf) supplied with the fetchmail distribution. It is also directly supported in linuxconf versions 1.16r8 and later.
Fetchmail is fast and lightweight. It packs all its standard features (POP3, IMAP, and ETRN support) in 196K of core on a Pentium under Linux.
Fetchmail is open-source software. The openness of the sources is your strongest possible assurance of quality and reliability.
Main features:
- STARTTLS is supported in both POP and IMAP.
- ESMTP AUTH (RFC 2554) is supported.
- Has the capability of adding trace information to the Received header to faciliate mail filtering by mailserver and remote account.
- Fetchmail now has options to handle SSL certificate validation.
- Fetchmail can be told to fall back to delivering via local sendmail if it cant open port 25.
- Support for AUTH=CRAM-MD5 under POP3, a la RFC2195.
- Support for ODMR (On-Demand Mail Relay), RFC 2645.
- Its now easy to deliver mail to a local LMTP socket.
- The interface option now checks both local and remote interface IPs.
- The plugin facility has been enhanced; %h and %p options are now available to pass in the hostname and service port number.
- Added a dropdelivered option to discard Delivered-To headers. This addresses a problem with using fetchmail and postfix as a relay inside a domain; when postfix sees incoming messages with delivered-to headers looking exactly the same as the ones it adds himself, it bounces the message.
- Added --smtpname to set username and domain portion of SMTP "RCPT TO" command. - Added "from" servers IP address to inserted Received line.
- Fetchmail now runs on BeOS, thanks to David Reid .
- In IMAP, unseen-message counting and indexing is now done by SEARCH UNSEEN at the beginning of each poll or re-poll (rather than with the UNSEEN and RECENT responses and FLAGS queries on individual messages). This significantly cuts down on traffic to and from the server, and gives more reliable results.
- The aka option now matches hostname suffixes, so (for example) saying `aka netaxs.com will match not just netaxs.com but also (say) pop3.netaxs.com and mail.netaxs.com.
- Fetchmail can optionally use the RFC 2177 IDLE extension on an IMAP server that supports it. On IMAP servers that dont, it can simulate it using periodic NOOP commands.
- Fetchmail now recognizes the RFC 2449 extended responses [IN-USE] and [LOGIN-DELAY].
- Fetchmail running in daemon mode now restarts itself quietly when the rc file is touched.
- Following recent court decisions and changes in U.S. federal regulatory policy, hooks for Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) are now part of the main fetchmail distribution. The distribution still contains no actual cryptographic code.
- NTLM support under IMAP, so fetchmail can query Microsoft Exchange servers.
- Expunge option can now be used to break POP3 retrieval into subsessions.
- Support for AUTH=CRAM-MD5 under IMAP, a la RFC2195.

FCCU GNU/Linux Forensic Bootable CD is a bootable CD based on KNOPPIX that contains a lot of tools suitable for computer forensic investigatins, including bash scripts.
FCCU GNU/Linux Forensic Boot CDs main purpose is to create images of devices prior to analysis, and it is used by the Belgian Federal Computer Crime Unit.
Main features:
- This CD is based on KNOPPIX by Klauss Knopper.
- It is a remaster that I made to use at my work as a computer forensic investigator.
- Its main purpose is to create images copies of devices before analyse.
- It does not use a lot of cpu cycles for unnecessary programs, that is why it drops you to a shell right after the boot.
- It recognizes lots of hardware (Thanks to Klauss Knopper).
- It leaves the target devices unaltered (It does not use the swap partitions found on the devices).
- It contains a lot of tools with forensic purpose.
Enhancements:
- This release adds a new set of tools that allow an investigator to capture the memory from another host trough the Firewire bus, even if the target host is an MS Windows box.
- A new tool to retrieve images from Thumbs.db (MS win thumbnails cache) was added.
- Rdd, a new forensic image acquisition tool, was added.
- A lot of other tools were added and upgraded.
