Free fflush stdin software for linux

iodine is a piece of software that lets you tunnel IPv4 data through a DNS server. This can be useful in situations where Internet access is firewalled, but DNS queries are allowed.
iodine needs a TUN/TAP device to operate. The bandwidth is asymmetrical with limited upstream and up to 1 Mbit/s downstream.
Enhancements:
- Multiuser support was added for up to 8 users simultaneously.
- Authentication was added, and a password is entered as an argument or on stdin.
- A manpage was added. "make" targets were added for "install" and "uninstall".
- The DNS code was cleaned up.
- More test cases were added.
- The directory structure was changed.

FindBin is a Perl module that can locate directory of original perl script.

SYNOPSIS

use FindBin;
use lib "$FindBin::Bin/../lib";

or

use FindBin qw($Bin);
use lib "$Bin/../lib";

Locates the full path to the script bin directory to allow the use of paths relative to the bin directory.

This allows a user to setup a directory tree for some software with directories < root >/bin and < root >/lib, and then the above example will allow the use of modules in the lib directory without knowing where the software tree is installed.
If perl is invoked using the -e option or the perl script is read from STDIN then FindBin sets both $Bin and $RealBin to the current directory.

EXPORTABLE VARIABLES

$Bin - path to bin directory from where script was invoked
$Script - basename of script from which perl was invoked
$RealBin - $Bin with all links resolved
$RealScript - $Script with all links resolved

Crystality Plugin consists of XMMS plugin and stdin/stdout plugin. It was written for realtime remastering of sound from mp3 files.
You will need a reasonably good stereo and a good ear to notice quality
improvement, otherwise this is not for you.

This plugin tries to patch mp3 format flaws, not a poor audio hardware! Yes, you should be able to hear well enough (sorry) - for some of my friends plugin is a cool thing, while the others does not hear nothing but echo and stereo expander (well, you will hear every effect if you set it to the maximum, but it will not sound nice).

Crystality was written for 16bit 44.1kHz stereo sound and may give strange results
with other sound formats.

Damian Hodgkiss sent me a quick port for Winamp 2.x. I have not tried it yet, but you can get it (cr-quick-winamp-port.zip).

This plugin does mainly four things (and some minor tricks):

1. Adds some sounds in very high frequency range. Most of the mp3s in The Net are flawed with a 16(15?) kHz cutoff. Even these ones compressed at high bitrates. This spectrum hole is audible and very unpleasant. This plugin helps a bit. Old mp3s made from the vinyl or the magnetic tape may also sound better with these "steroids". For old mp3s youll probably need to set filter to 0.1.

2. Adds some even harmonic distortions (actually nonlinearity), that sounds nice. Valve amps introduce even harmonic distortions (although differnt way) Look at audiophile pages for more info (well, mp3 format is not an audiophile stuff at all, but... welcome to the real world...).

3. Adds simple, but nice 3D echo (concert hall or church like). Most of echo plugins sounds too hard and aggresively for me. This one does not.

4. Extends stereo.

USING:

There are currently two versions of plugin - XMMS plugin and stdin/stdout. Stdin/out plugin is completly independent of XMMS plugin. It even stores its configuration in a separate file (~/.crystalityrc). Stdin/out plugin is alpha code, so some features are missed. You cannot reopen configuration dialog after closing without restarting plugin, there are no "save config", "load config" buttons. Configuration is loaded automatically on startup and saved on exit, either on normal finish or ^C. You can disable GUI with -g option (useful in scripts).

Because this plugin adds some sounds at high frequencies, you will probably need to decrease treble level on your amplifier. Plugin does not perform normalization, so you should slightly decrease signal level in XMMS equalizer (NOT volume slider on the main panel). Setting sliders to the maximum is generally a bad idea (well, except the filter, where that setting is useful).

PERFORMANCE:

It eats about 15% of CPU on my AMD K6-2/400 and optimization is still possible, this is not highly optimized code.

INSTALLATION:

Distribution contains binary version of XMMS plugin library and stdin/stdout plugin executable (Linux i586, glibc 2.1.3). You may copy plugin library file (libcrystality.so) into XMMSs Effect directory and executable (crystality-stdio) to /usr/local/bin or any location you prefer. For default locations simply type:

make install

and thats it.
You may also build crystality from the source.

make buildinstall

typed as root in the source directory should be all you have to do.

This plugin was my first small step in gtk programming, so dont expect any wonders, GUI is actually a quick hack to hardcoded settings. I am not a GUI programmer.

Grinch is a small script written in Perl which can be used to check whether a given address is an open mail relay host. It can operate as a daemon and speaks the tcp_map protocol implemented in Postfix in that case.

Its also possible to use it in arbitrary shell script environments where the hostname is read from stdin and the error code is written to stdout.

The goal is to check "on the fly" whether a host accepts mail to a given destination it actually may not relay for. If it does, Grinch waits for the sent mail to return to you for a configurable period and meanwhile returns a soft error (450) for that host.

If the mail returns, the suspected host was verified as an open open relay and will be rejected until its cache entry times out.

Fetch and deliver mail is a simple, lightweight replacement for mail fetching, filtering, and delivery programs such as fetchmail and procmail.
It can fetch using POP3, POP3S, IMAP, IMAPS, or stdin, and deliver to a pipe, file, maildir, mbox, or SMTP server, based on a set of regexps.
Fetch and deliver mail can be used for both single user and multiuser setups, and is designed with privilege separation when running as root.
Enhancements:
- Mostly configuration file enhancements and code cleanup were done since 1.2. ifdef/endif blocks and inline shell commands are allowed in the configuration file.
- A built-in string cache using TDB was added.
- Some extra default tags were added. NNTPS fetching was implemented.
