Computer Breaker project is a network testing tool for services vulnerabilities.

Computer Breaker is a network testing tool that allows networking administrators to test if a computer is vulnerable to malicious attacks.

Using the Nessus scanner, computer-breaker scans the remote host and automatically exploits its vulnerabilities.

Computer Temperature Monitor is a little applet for the GNOME desktop that shows the temperature of your computer CPU and disks on screen. Computer Temperature Monitor also allows you to log temperatures to a file.
You can set alarms to notify you when a tempertature is reached. Several monitors can be added to the panel to monitor different sensors. It is designed to look like the CPU Frequency Gnome applet. This applet used to be called Laptop Temperature Monitor.
Enhancements:
- The way the temperature file is read has been changed to fix a bug in some modules (acpi, ibm_acpi, i8k, and omnibook).
- Support has been added for Apple G5 computers (windfarm sensors).
- Support has been added for dynamic log filenames using patterns.
- A bug that prevented the icon from appearing sometimes has been fixed.
- A GConf key has been added for showing debug information in the applet tooltip.
- A Simplified Chinese translation has been added.
- Support has been added to change the logging timeout.
- There are some bugfixes.

Open Computer Vision Library is a collection of algorithms and sample code for various computer vision problems. The library is compatible with IPL (Intel Image Processing Library) and utilizes Intel Integrated Performance Primitives for better performance.

Philosophy

Aid commercial uses of computer vision in human-computer interface, robotics, monitoring, biometrics and security by providing a free and open infrastructure where the distributed efforts of the vision community can be consolidated and performance optimized.

F-Prot Antivirus security software package has various components that help keep your system secure from viruses, backdoors, trojans and other malicious programs. The project includes the RealTime Protector, a memory-resident monitoring utility that observes all files accessed on your system, a Scheduler where you can set the Scanner to make automatic scans or updates on your system at any time and an Updater to manage all signature updates.
For home users using the Linux open-source operating system, we offer F-Prot Antivirus for Linux Workstations. F-Prot Antivirus for Linux Workstations utilizes the renowned F-Prot Antivirus scanning engine for primary scan but has in addition to that a system of internal heuristics devised to search for unknown viruses
F-Prot Antivirus for Linux was especially developed to effectively eradicate viruses threatening workstations running Linux. It provides full protection against macro viruses and other forms of malicious software - including Trojans.
Main features:
- Scans for over 191534 known viruses and their variants
- Ability to perform scheduled scans when used with the cron utility
- Scans hard drives, CD-ROMS, diskettes, network drives, directories and specific files
- Scans for images of boot sector viruses, macro viruses and Trojan Horses
F-Prot Antivirus for Linux Workstations is FREE for use by personal users on personal workstations

The Qmail virus scanner (QScan) is a mail filter for Qmail that scans incoming messages using the Sophos Antivirus engine, immediately rejecting infected content.

It is designed to be minimalistic, yet extremely fast and secure, and uses multiple pipes instead of the traditional temporary files and privilege separation. It works with non-native versions of the virus scanner like under OpenBSD with Linux or FreeBSD emulation.


You must create a temporary directory to extract MIME attachments, and replace Qmails original qmail-queue program with Qscan. Quick way to achieve this for the impatients :

mkdir /var/qmail/qscan
chmod 700 /var/qmail/qscan
chown qmaild:qmail /var/qmail/qscan
ln /var/qmail/bin/qmail-queue /var/qmail/bin/qmail-queue-old

Now, lets compile and install Qscan :

./configure --help

./configure [your beloved flags]

make install-strip

The last step is to replace the original qmail-queue program with our filter :

rm /var/qmail/bin/qmail-queue
ln -s /usr/local/sbin/qscan /var/qmail/bin/qmail-queue

Depending on your local configuration, it may be needed or not, but start with doing it :

chown qmaild:qmail /usr/local/sbin/qscan
chmod 6711 /usr/local/sbin/qscan

After testing, if everythings ok for you, remove the setuid bit :

chown 0:0 /usr/local/sbin/qscan
chmod 711 /usr/local/sbin/qscan

ScannerDaemon is the virus scanner of the OpenAntivirus project. You can send a filename to it via simple TCP and it will scan the file for viruses and tell you if the file is infected or not.
The ScannerDaemon listens on localhosts port 8127 for absolute filenames and absolute directorynames. It scans the files/all files in the directory and reports OK if no virus has been found or FOUND: if a virus has been detected.
You can start the ScannerDaemon simply by typing:
java -jar ScannerDaemon.jar
If you did not forget the Credo-files, it should come up and listen on port 8127. You can also give the name of the directory as a command-line parameter, like
java -jar ScannerDaemon.jar -credo.directory
Enhancements:
- Adaptions to new listener and filter scheme
- Bugfix: allow more than one signature file in one credo file
- Bugfix: close files used by UPXFilter
- Bugfix: wrong failure transitions
- Improvement: less memory consumption for nodes
- Improvement: UPXFilter scans uncompressed and compressed file
