Rippy the Aggregator project is a lightweight RSS aggregator written in vanilla PHP.
There are several Web sites (Slashdot, for instance) that I visit regularly or semi-regularly to check for the latest news; there are also several more (like, say, the EFF) that post regular updates and that Id like to visit regularly, or that would like to have me visit regularly, but which I dont visit regularly because its just too much work to keep track of all of them, and too disappointing when I remember to check and find nothing new. I even run a Web site of my own which Id like to have people check regularly - but since I dont spend time making the rounds of my friends similar sites, I cant expect them to visit mine. Rippy the Aggregator aims to solve all these problems.
There is a standard called RSS, for Web sites to publish their updates in a machine-readable format. An appropriate client can quickly visit all the Web sites youre interested in, download their updates, and present you with a customized list of all the newest items. Most "blogging", "portal", and "content management" software already generates RSS files (although its operators may be unaware of that!), and there are services like Syndic8 that compile lists of RSS "feeds". So it only remains to get an appropriate client.
That presents a problem. I hacked an RSS output onto my Web-site updating scripts, so I had that aspect covered, but then I wanted to start reading others RSS feeds, and I discovered that the client programs you can get on the Web mostly suck. Some of them are Windows-only, so those are right out. I saw one in Java that looked pretty good, but its Web site didnt provide a way to download it except through some kind of weird Hot-Buzzy-Java-Scripted-Auto-Virus-Install-Plugin-Thing - there was no actual file. I did eventually find its source code, but it required third-party libraries.
Then I looked at several RSS readers that were written in Perl or PHP and designed to run as scripts on a Web site. Those had possibilities, but they required multiple third-party libraries (Perl) or an SQL server and compiled-in PHP modules that most people dont have (PHP).
The best attempt I found was one written in Python, but in order to make it run I had to start not one but two background server daemons, which would make it tricky to use on my office computer at school. There are Web sites that provide the service of RSS reading, but they all require registration, cookies, JavaScript, etc. I couldnt find an RSS reader (or "aggregator", as theyre called) that I could just download and have it work. Thus, it was necessary to create one: enter Rippy!
The name "Rippy the Aggregator" refers to an Arrogant Worms song about a cute, cuddly little alligator who goes "chomp, chomp, chomp," down in the bottom of the swamp, swamp, swamp. Abram Hindle has suggested that Rippy the Aggregator should go "grep, grep, grep," down in the bottom of the net, net, net. Anyone wanna write the rest of the song?
Main features:
- Cute name
- Written in PHP (needs 4.3.0 or above)
- Doesnt require any compiled-in optional libraries that dont ship with PHP
- Stores its cached data in flat files, no database needed
- Freely licensed and customizable under the GNU GPL version 2
Enhancements:
- Parser ruggedness and general stability were improved, and support was added for setting options like user agent and proxying when acting as an HTTP client.

The Revisionist is a tool for extracting and indexing hidden metadata (such as deleted or modified text) from large collections of MS Word files.
It can operate whole Web sites or SMB or NFS directories. The Revisionist project is handy for pen-testing, or it can be used just to spot embarrassing secrets.
My primary goal is to provide pen-testers and content administrators with a handy tool to detect hidden data in all documents available at a specific location (be it a locally mounted network share, a HTTP site, or whatnot), and easily review it all.
Right now, the tool only detects and indexes deleted text in documents with "change tracking" enabled, and can also index usernames and hardware addresses embedded in documents (to facilitate external assessment of company structure); future versions should be able to recover other goodies, too.
Usage:
To run the tool against a local directory, a mounted SMB or NFS directory, or such, simply issue the following command (after doing make, that is):
./therev @/path/to/directory
After the tool completes, you should be able to view master.html in current directory using your favourite browser (Lynx, Netscape, etc). Cached copies of documents would be placed in subdirectories named document.XXXXXX, where X is a random digit; hence, it is recommended to run the tool in a separate directory.
Note that you may also instruct the tool to look for specific substring and only choose those documents that contain it (strict checking, no regexp available):
./therev linux @/path/to/directory
To run the program against a specific site or top-level domain, do the following:
./therev site.com
Note that com, gov, gov.pl, www.microsoft.com are all a valid site name. The first parameter works similar to the previous case:
./therev homeland security gov
As a special bonus, when running the script against multilinguinal sites, you might want to specify a third parameter - desired language (using a two-letter code: en, pl, etc). NOTE: DO NOT USE LANGUAGE QUALIFIER UNLESS NECESSARY:
./therev linux microsoft.com en
The HTTP search mode uses Google.com to locate all matching Word documents on a specific site. For a document to be found, it must be indexable (that is, not excluded in robots.txt) and be in the first 1000 of results for a specific site. If there are more than 1000 documents at some website, consider sub-searches with keywords.
Enhancements:
- This release was fixed to work with the new Google page layout.
- Some other minor fixes were made.

The Examiner is an application that utilizes the objdump command to disassemble and comment foreign executable binaries. This app was designed to analyze static compiled binaries but works ok with others. The intention is for forensic research but could also be used in general reverse engineering.
This program can only handle basic dissassembly. If the binary has been modified to resist debugging then the Examinier probably will not be able to analyze the code. Also the Examiner will not analyze live running code. This can be a good thing but if you need to look at code when it runs or deal with complicated disassembly you should probably use Fenris.
Main features:
- Automates objdump usage
- Can generate cross-reference files of functions, interrupts and other useful things
- Locates functions within the binary
- Understands the stack and comments on its state
- Can parse and understand the contents of the .rodata section
- Cross references .rodata calls and comments on them
- Locates .data pointer references to .rodata
- Provides an easy to read CALL syntax for comments
- Understands and looks up interrupts calls
- Utilizes Linux source headers to determine function names based on what interrupt is called
- Can differentiate all of the socketcall functions
- Can comment on some C like constants for function calls
- Separates functions based on ret calls
- Can recognize and attempts to decode UPX compressed binaries
- Works with TCT and Fenris dress utility
- Can detect crippled ELF executables and burneye executables
- Recognizes symbols and will cross-reference dynamic libraries
Enhancements:
- Has rudementary detection of burneye via 7350 sig.
- Can detect crippled ELF header files (optionally uncripple)
- Added a TUTORIAL file
- Modified default working dir to $HOMEexaminer-data
- Can cross-reference .data pointers to .rodata sections
- Now records pushl calls
- Fixed -H to dump headers instead of -R
- Added -o to specify an output file or STDOUT with -
- Added -c to specify a comment character
- Added a new util xhierarchy to print function call hierarchy

Set photo in Kopete is a really simple service menu that just sets the current photo as your photo in Kopete, nothing more, nothing less.

It doesnt handle directories containing space yet, if someone have a workaround so that KURL dont escapes all characters that would be nice=)

Just put this file in ~/.kde/share/apps/konqueror/servicemenus or use http://www.kde-look.org/content/show.php?content=11435 to install it.

Many users prefer Gnome Window Manager but cant go without Amarok. Gnome Play Video in Totem allows Gnome Users to view video or audio externally in Totem.

This is very useful for Video Podcasts.
