Free advantage software for linux

Thunar Volume Manager project provides automatic management of removable media and drives for the Thunar File Manager.

The Thunar Volume Manager is an extension for the Thunar file manager, which enables automatic management of removable drives and media. For example, if thunar-volman is installed and configured properly, and you plug in your digital camera, it will automatically launch your preferred photo application and import the new pictures from the camera into your photo collection.

The advantage of Thunar Volume Manager over other solutions (like gnome-volume-manager or ivman) is that it does not require an additional daemon to be running in the users desktop session, which means it is very lightweight solution. In addition, the Thunar Volume Manager smoothly integrates into the Thunar file manager and the Xfce desktop.

MatPLC project is a software-based PLC for industrial automation.

MatPLC is a software-based PLC (Programmable Logic Controller) for industrial automation. Ultimately, it should be possible to run a factory using this software.

Currently, one should keep in mind that it is still at the testing stage, and is therefore not suitable for applications where incorrect operation would cause damage or danger.

We take advantage of the fact that we have an underlying operating system and use its features to make the MatPLC modular. One module could be executing mnemonics. Another module is a PID loop. A different module handles I/O, or logs to a database. (These modules all already exist.) The MatPLC then coordinates their workings to present a simple interface to the user.

Currently, we are in early stages: we have a solid core, mnemonics for logic modules (python or C can also be used), a signal-processing module which includes a PID loop, several I/O modules (including numerous industrial networks and an interface to the comedi project) and some simple HMI modules.

svgl is a library that displays SVG documents using OpenGL, taking advantage of the GPU.

Rendering:

A lot of svg 1.0 features are implemented: simples shapes, path, gradient, clipping, viewBox, opacity, < use >, animations etc.

Fonts are handled by the glft companion library, which allows for autoscaling according to the current scale, and automatic choice between vectorized glyphs or textures based on freetype2 rendering.

Texturized fonts are antialiased by freetype, while every other drawings are FSAA by OpenGL.

Next step is optimization by using various techniques like display list, culling, and cache rendering into textures.

Interacting:

Picking is provided under 2 forms:

- returns the deepest SVG element (leaf) corresponding to the shape designated by the user
- returns the stack of SVG elements under the cursor, so that UI techniques like toolglasses (see screenshot) is easily implemented

PanAndZoom done right (according to me...) : since its fast and usable, we can really use it in an interface

Tansform so-called "consolidation" (concatenation of transform matrices) allows easy implementation of scale-independant DnD.

Programming:

We try to make the api as simple as possible, for creating, manipulating, changing style, loading etc.

See demos/tutorial to see how to code with svgl.

A (pre-alpha) python extension allows for rapid application development and easy integration in wxPython.

ldapdns is a fast and rhobust root-nameserver that can outperform bind and djbdns on medium to large installations, and will scale well both up and down.

the secret is that ldapdns uses a threaded core, and takes advantage of an external directory. its extremely simple, and it does not run under user-control as root.

its ideal for small and large installations, because it queries the ldap server directly, updates are immediate. you dont have to rebuild constant databases, or wait for bind to get its shit in gear.

but ldapdns is a work-in-progress. i use it on a production network, as do many others. but its up to you to make it best for your network.

Apache Portable Runtime (APR) project mission is to create and maintain software libraries that provide a predictable and consistent interface to underlying platform-specific implementations.
The primary goal is to provide an API to which software developers may code and be assured of predictable if not identical behaviour regardless of the platform on which their software is built, relieving them of the need to code special-case conditions to work around or take advantage of platform-specific deficiencies or features.
Main features:
- Atomic operations
- Dynamic Shared Object loading
- File I/O
- Locks (mutexes, condition variables, etc)
- Memory management (high performance allocators)
- Memory-mapped files
- Multicast Sockets
- Network I/O
- Shared memory
- Thread and Process management
- Various data structures (tables, hashes, priority queues, etc)
Enhancements:
- Various bugs were fixed.
- The API compatible with version 1.2.7.

Anonym.OS LiveCD is based on OpenBSD 3.8 with strong tools for anonymizing and encrypting connections.

Standard network applications are provided and configured to take advantage of the tor onion routing network.

Anonym.OS was first suggested by kaos.theory at Interzone 4 in Atlanta, March of 2005.

Nearly a year and a lot of marathon coding sessions later, its a reality and was released by elmore, fade, arcon, dr.kaos, digunix, atlas and beth of kaos.theory at Shmoocon 2006.

mod_auth_nufw is a Single Sign On Apache module which performs secure user identification and authentication, based on the Nufw firewalling suite. Nufw marks all connections of a network with a unique UserID.
This module takes advantage of that mark and uses it to transparently identify and authenticate users requiring access to an Apache server.
Main features:
- SSL encryption of SQL connections
- Support of the v2 SSO protocol, which is much lighter, as it avoids all LDAP connections to the module.
- Apache 2 support.
- Finer control on SQL requests.
- Control of server tokens, on Apache2.

assniffer is an auto saving sniffer for windows and linux.

assniffer can monitor (using pcap) a network, and for every HTTP transfer it sees, save a copy of the transferred data.

This is less for sinister uses, and more for taking advantage of the already-transferred data that your computer may be exposed to.

Linux users should install libpcap, and tools to enable compiling.

Compilation:

- Go to the source/assniffer directory and type make.
