Free developmental reading assessment software for linux

Score Reading Trainer helps you improve your (musical) score reading skills by practicing with random scores.
It works in a very simple way, you choose the clef, the key and the accidentals you want to practice as well as thee range of notes and then, the program generates a on-screen score with that parameters but randomizing the notes and the accidentals (and everything else that is randomizable).
The keys of the keyboard are mapped to the notes like in a piano (it would be nice to support midi in the future) and all you have to do, is press the right key for the first note you see in the score on the screen.
If you pressed the right key, the note will disapear and replaced by the second one, a diferent note, and you have to repeat the process.
As the notes are generated randomly, theres no way one can predict the following note and since several notes (as much as the screen allows) are on the screen, one can also train pre-reading (reading ahead of the current one) of the notes.
The program doesnt emit any sound (at least, yet) and its not inteded to teach rithmic or melodic concepts.

EText Reader project is a simple cross-platform GUI EText reader.. It uses the wxWindows GUI library.
It allows selection of font, and foreground and background colors, as well as persistant reading position and bookmarking. It supports browsing, searching, and direct downloading of Project Gutenberg ETexts.
It features a built-in online dictionary for instant word definitions while reading.
Compiling the source
./configure
make
make install
Enhancements:
- As of this release, configure (and automake) scripts have been created.

GNOME Structured File Library is a utility library for reading and writing structured file formats. Support for MS OLE2 streams is complete, as is zip import.
There is also support for document metadata and some initial work on decompressing VBA streams in OLE files for future conversion to other languages.
This library replaces libole2 and is used in gnumeric, mrproject, abiword, libwv2, koffice. It is also part of the AAF format.
Enhancements:
- This release reverts jump to dynamic types, as they arent thread-safe.
- A compilation glitch on Windows has been fixed.
- Problems building without gconf macros installed are avoided.
- Configure breakage with --without-gnome has been fixed.

GNU CD Input and Control library encapsulates CD-ROM reading and control for applications wishing to be oblivious to the OS- and device-dependent properties of a CD-ROM.

The project provides an API for access to SCSI-MMC (multimedia commands) and support for CD image types like BIN/CUE, cdrdaos TOC, and Neros NRG, which gives applications using the library the ability to read disc images as though they were CDs.

ISO-9660 filesystem support is included, as are utility programs for displaying CD and CD-ROM drive information, reading the blocks of a CD, and extracting files from an ISO-9660 filesytem image. cdparanoia is also included.

The Prelude Library (libprelude) is the glue that binds all aspects of Prelude together. It is a library which enables Prelude components to communicate with the Prelude Manager.
libprelude library also makes it easy for third party software to be made Prelude Aware (able to communicate with Prelude components). It provide common, useful features used by every sensor.
Enhancements:
- TCP keepalive settings were implemented on platforms that support it.
- When reading prelude-adduser password from a file, the newline at the end of the string is removed.
- When reading an IDMEF message fails, more information about the place where the error happened is provided.
- An issue with idmef_path_get() on empty path (pointing to the root message) was fixed.
- Various bugfixes and minor API improvements were made.

check_writable is a Nagios plugin that checks if one or more directories are writable by checking that the supplied directory is indeed a directory, checking if the the filesystem permissions are OK, creating a temporary file, writing random data to the temporary file, and reading it back.

It returns a critical status if one of the tests fails.

XML::Simple::DTDReader is a simple XML file reading based on their DTDs.

SYNOPSIS

use XML::Simple::DTDReader;

my $ref = XMLin("data.xml");
Or the object oriented way:
require XML::Simple::DTDReader;

my $xsd = XML::Simple::DTDReader->new;
my $ref = $xsd->XMLin("data.xml");

XML::Simple::DTDReader aims to be a XML::Simple drop-in replacement, but with several aspects of the module controlled by the XMLs DTD. Specifically, array folding and array forcing are inferred from the DTD.

Currently, only XMLin is supported; support for XMLout is planned for later releases.

The hosts can be configured to run arbitrary services, and their personality can be adapted so that they appear to be running certain operating systems. Honeyd enables a single host to claim multiple addresses - I have tested up to 65536 - on a LAN for network simulation.

Honeyd improves cyber security by providing mechanisms for threat detection and assessment. It also deters adversaries by hiding real systems in the middle of virtual systems.
It is possible to ping the virtual machines, or to traceroute them. Any type of service on the virtual machine can be simulated according to a simple configuration file. Instead of simulating a service, it is also possible to proxy it to another machine.

annotate "AIX 4.0 - 4.2" fragment old
# Example of a simple host template and its binding create template
set template personality "AIX 4.0 - 4.2"
add template tcp port 80 "sh scripts/web.sh"
add template tcp port 22 "sh scripts/test.sh $ipsrc $dport"
add template tcp port 23 proxy 10.23.1.2:23
set template default tcp action reset

bind 10.21.19.102 template

The different TCP personalities are learned from reading a nmap fingerprint file. The configured personality is the operating system that nmap or xprobe will return. Personalities can be annotated to determine if they allow FIN-scans for open ports or to select the preference in which they reassemble fragmented IP packets.

Honeyd can be used to create a virtual honey net or for general network monitoring. It supports the creation of a virtual network topology including dedicated routes and routers. The routes can be attributed with latency and packet loss to make the topology seem more realistic.
Because Honeyd interacts with potentially malicious adversaries, you should sandbox it with Systrace. Systrace prevents an adversary from exploiting bugs in your Honeyd scripts.

Subsystem Virtualization

Honeyd supports service virtualization by executing Unix applications as subsystems running in the virtual IP address space of a configured honeypot. This allows any network application to dynamically bind ports, create TCP and UDP connections using a virtual IP address.
Subsystems are virtualized by intercepting their network requests and redirecting them to Honeyd. Every configuration template may contain subsystems that are started as separated processes when the template is bound to a virtual IP address. An additional benefit of this approach is the ability of honeypots to create sporadic background traffic like requesting web pages and reading email, etc.

Network Simulation/Internet-In-The-Box

Honeyd supports assymetric routes and the integration of physical machines into the virtual network topology. As a result, it is possible to use Honeyd for simple network simulations: Physical hosts can be exposed to high latency or packet loss, arbitrary routing infrastructures, etc.

Using GRE tunneling allows the creation of distributed setups that allow Honeyd to scale to larger networks. It also allows virtual machines to be spread across separate address spaces as GRE tunnel selection can be based on the source addresses.
