The CryptoBox is a Debian/Linux based live-cd. CryptoBox CD boots up, starting a secure fileserver.
Even non-technical users are able to store their data on its encrypted harddisk. There is no special knowledge about cryptography or servers required at all.
The CryptoBox is fully controllable via your web browser.
Version 0.2 is fully usable and runs stable. From now on were just adding features and translations (atm english, german, slovenian).
Enhancements:
- Support for more than one hard disk was added.
- Manual partitioning is allowed.
- LUKS is used for hard disk encryption.
- Plaintext partitions are supported.
- The time and date can be changed.
- Flexible feature management was implemented to enable and disable specific plugins.
- Prepared RAID partitions are used.

trfcrypt is an add-on package to the tcl-extension trf. It provides the encryption functionality which was removed from the base package to allow its inclusion on the Tcl/Tk CDROM without violating US export control laws on cryptography.
The C API is layered on top of the trf C API and provides a set of commands for the management, implementation and usage of blockciphers and stream.
Although it is possible to implement ciphers using only the trf C API the code in this package makes it much easier, as general things like the handling of blockcipher modes are done here, thus obviating the need to reimplement them every time. A new cipher just has to provide some information about itself (key sizes) and functions to:
- generate the internal keyschedule from the specified key
- encrypt/decrypt a character or a block of data

CBM BASIC Lister is a Commodore related application to convert BASIC programs from their binary form to text.
CBM BASIC Lister (formerly C64 BASIC Lister) is a tool to generate an easily readable and printable BASIC listing of any CBM BASIC program (C64/VIC20, etc.) saved as "prg" file.
It is not a BASIC interpreter, its not a debugger and neither a development tool. Its just a LISTer and, by default, it acts just as the C64 native "LIST" command does.
Extra flow-control options were introduced to automatically correct the aspect of each listing and format it before introducing any part of it in your own electronic documents.
Of course, it can be used to study a BASIC program listing from your PC too.
Main features:
- Optional indent-ation of cycle (and procedure with Extended sets) body, with nested cycles processing
- Optional right alignment of BASIC line numbers
- Optional blank line insertion after a RETURN/END command (and End of procedures with Extended sets)
- Simons BASIC, Ultra BASIC (ABACUS), and Special BASIC support (with detection)
