Free kit software for linux

Pin is a tool for the dynamic instrumentation of programs. Pin supports Linux binary executables for Intel (R) Xscale (R), IA-32, IA-32E (64 bit x86), and Itanium (R) processors.
Pin was designed to provide functionality similar to the popular ATOM toolkit for Compaqs Tru64 Unix on Alpha, i.e. arbitrary code (written in C or C++) can be injected at arbitrary places in the executable. Unlike Atom, Pin does not instrument an executable statically by rewriting it, but rather adds the code dynamically while the executable is running. This also makes it possible to attach Pin to an already running process.
Pin provides a rich API that abstracts away the underlying instruction set idiosyncrasies and allows context information such as register contents to be passed to the injected code as parameters. Pin automatically saves and restores the registers that are overwritten by the injected code so the application continues to work. Limited access to symbol and debug information is available as well.
Enhancements:
- This release supports Windows and Mac OS X for IA-32.

KLone-DevKit is a full-featured development kit for developing custom applications based on KLone. KLone-DevKit was thought and designed with a learn-by-example paradigm in mind.
The developer is guided through the creation and release of his/her own KLone application via a range of real use case examples.
The package is also a good starting point for those who want to create an easy and complete KLone development framework from scratch or simply those who want to start hacking on a .kl1 file without the hassle of creating a custom build environment.
Enhancements:
- A new demo application (pxaregs-gui) has been added to control, via a Web-based AJAX interface, PXA255/PXA270 CPU registers.

Now theres Java performance on Linux thats as fast as on Windows! IBM developerWorks has released IBMs latest Java port for Linux, the Java 1.1.8 Developer Kit for Linux. This new version, available for free, is a stable, high-performance implementation of Java on Linux.

Car PC Development Kit is a kit for making a Linux distribution for a car PC.
Unlike most distributions which come prepackaged and ready to load, this distribution requires downloading, compiling, and post-setup before you can load it into a system.
The end result will be a modular platform for quickly putting together a small Linux system to copy onto boot media and start using.
The target platform is a mini-computer to be installed in an automobile and used either headless or with a monitor and some input device like a keyboard or remote control.
Enhancements:
- Fixes LIRC support for both CAUI and MPlayer.
- Updates the CAUI version, and updates the LIRC package to configure more buttons by default.

Chemistry Development Kit classes are Java utitility classes for ChemoInformatics and Computational chemistry, written in Java. They are developed constantly developed parallel to other projects that make use of them.
They are a complete re-write of the CompChem classes that were the basis of JChemPaint, a Java Editor for 2D chemical structures, and of JMDraw, a Java package for the graphical layout of 2D chemical structures.
The CDK project was started in September 2000 to replace the CompChem libraries used by JChemPaint, Jmol and SENECA. It no longer is in its initial stage, but is slowly getting a solid state.
The people involved in setting up the project are Christoph Steinbeck then at the Chemoinformatics Group at the Max Planck Institute of Chemical Ecology in Jena, as well as Egon Willighagen from the University of Nijmegen, The Netherlands, who is also involved with JChemPaint and many other Java Chemoinformatics programs, and Dan Gezelter from Notre Dame University, South Bend, USA, the initiator of Jmol, a 3D viewer and analyzer for molecules .
Now, the rewrite of these CompChem/CDK library classes do somehow effect all of our projects. All of our code relies to some extend on the so-called CompChem classes for computational chemistry.
Christoph Steinbeck started this chemistry library when he started programming SENECA, a system for Computer Assisted Structure Elucidation. It turned out that some of the code had design flaws that prevented others, like the authors of (Jmol) to use it.
Enhancements:
- This release consists of mostly some bugfixes, but also solves a few Java 1.4.2 compile problems and adds more functionality to the SMARTS parser.

Curses Development Kit is a library of widgets for curses development.
Installation:
To build the library cd into the Cdk distribution directory and follow the following steps:
1) Run configure. This will create a Makefile with a default install directory root of /usr/local. If you want to change the default install directory use the --prefix command line argument on configure. For example, if you want to install under /export/local instead, run the command: ./configure --prefix="/export/local"
2) Type make. This will make the library, the example binaries and the demonstration binaries.
3) Type make install. This will install the CDK distribution. Look at step 1 if you want to install other than /usr/local.
Enhancements:
- Adds functions to simplify changes of the list for alphalist and fselect widgets.
- Modifies handling of the delete key to make it delete the current character (unlike backspace).
- Several other minor fixes and improvements.

Trinity Rescue Kit or TRK is a 100% free CD bootable Linux distribution aimed specifically at offline operations for Windows and Linux systems such as rescue, repair, password resets and cloning, with the ability to update itself.
It has custom tools to easily recover data such as deleted files, clone Windows installations over the network, perform antivirus sweeps with 2 different antivirus products, reset windows passwords, read AND write on NTFS partitions, edit
partition layout and much much more.
Trinity Rescue Kit 3.1 is the evolved version of 3.0 and a complete rewrite of version 1.1 and the unfinished 2.0. It s mostly based on Mandrake 10.2 (Mandriva 2005) binaries and heavily adapted startup scripts.
What s new since 3.0?
- self update capability: TRK now has a script that will download/search all non-GPL
licensed software, like the Microsoft ntfs
drivers or F-prot. It will also update antivirus definitions for F-prot and Clamav.
Afterwards, it will recreate itself as a new iso
file which you can burn again to CD
- new version of captive-ntfs, using the latest XP SP2 drivers and LUFS
- clamav 0.88-1
- mkisofs, cdrecord, pico, cfdisk
- eject CD (was bug in build 204) and powerdown on halt
What s new since 1.1 (and 2.0):
- more hardware support:
kernel 2.6.14.3 with most default options left on, so all important hardware like
disc controllers and network cards are supported, even SATA disks, USB storage and gigabit ethernet. Also patched with lufs (for ntfs support) and bootsplash (background graphics)
- better network capability: besides all common network client tools, you can also run a secure shell server for remote access or TRK to TRK file copies
- run completely from memory: provided you have at least 192Mb of ram, you can run TRK from memory and eject the CD once it has booted, giving you the ability to mount other CDs
- vesa framebuffer support: TRK now has limited graphical support thanks to kernel
builtin framebuffer support.
- qtparted: the famous PQMagic clone. Partition editing never been this easy thanks to the graphical interface this tool uses (via framebuffer)
- configure your LAN to be "TRK 3 compliant": you can change the way a TRK behaves by adding an otherwise unused parameter to your DHCP server to point to a webserver where you keep specific configuration data for your TRK such as proxy settings or complete scripts with which you can do anything you want
- run scripts from a local computer by searching for /.trk/trklocal.conf
- full NTFS write support thanks to the captive ntfs project by Jan Kratochvil.
- more NTFS write support with the NTFS Fuse driver.
- Secure Shell server: let a user boot from TRK, enter a new password for root and
connect to TRK remotely
Featuring home brewed scripts, new and improved:
- updatetrk (since 3.1): updates TRK with ntfs drivers, F-prot + definitions and
Clamav definitions. When the script is run without arguments, it looks for a Windows pagefile.sys, creates a loopback filesystem on it and creates TRK from there. Afterwards it copies the new isofile to C: emp, from where you can burn it to CD again
- clonexp: script that uses ntfsclone to perform copies of ntfs filesystems between
two computers each running their copy of Trinity Rescue Kit 3.1. One PC copies his Windows installation over the network to another PC running a TRK 3.1 with a secure shell server enabled. An easy way to clone Windows installations or recover as much as you can from a dying disk. Run it either interactively or from a single commandline
- winpass: does the same thing as in TRK 1.1, searches for all local Windows
installations, runs chntpw on your SAM file and resets the password. It now also handles Windows on FAT32 correctly and uses the safe ntfs driver from the Linux kernel, so it works even without captive support
- regedit: is actually the same as winpass, but starts chntpw in interactive mode and allows you to edit a Windows registry
- virusscan: completely rewritten,this script now has two different engines: the default is to run with the GNU Clamav antivirus which is free for everyone. This is a very good scanner, but the drawback is that it can only detect virus infected files, not clean them. So the only option is to delete them, where most of the time the file is the complete virus. But just to be sure we don t delete anything valuable, a quarantined backup is being made first. The other part of the script uses the free-for-home-users F-prot. F-prot itself is not included in TRK but it gets downloaded from their site. F-prot DOES have the ability to disinfect files if necessary.
- ntfsundeleteall: also completely rewritten, ntfsundeleteall, a wrapper for
ntfsundelete now recovers deleted files from an NTFS volume but it gives you the ability to add a recoverability percentage to the commandline. Since it only recovers files and not directories, sometimes you would have double filenames. This has been countered by adding the inode of the file at the beginning of the filename, so recoverability is 100% within the possibilities of ntfsundelete
More utils:
- links: simple webbrowser which runs in framebuffer graphical mode. Handy to go and read some reference docs on the Internet
- ftp and lftp
- ssh and scp
- ms-sys: This program is used to create Microsoft compatible boot records. It is able to do the same as Microsoft "fdisk /mbr" to a hard disk. It is also able to do the same as Microsoft "sys d:" to a floppy or FAT partition except that it does not copy any system files, only the boot record is written.
- Reiserfs tools
- ext2/ext3 tools
- ntfsprogs
- dosfs tools
- tcpdump, nmap and netcat
- mdadm for offline raid configuration
- burn, a utility that stresses your CPU
- samba client: mount windows shares over the network
- shred: erase a harddisk until its unrecoverable even by magnetic resonance recovery
- fatback: undelete files from fat filesystems
- TestDisk: Tool to check and undelete partition, works with most common partitions
- PhotoRec: File and pictures recovery. PhotoRec has been created to recover pictures from digital camera memory and it has been extended to recover lost files from harddisk (List of known files). PhotoRec is safe to use, it will never attempt to write to the drive or memory support you are about to recover from. Recovered files are instead written in the directory from where you are running the PhotoRec program.
- pico text editor
- mkisofs and cdrecord
- perl 5
Enhancements:
- Very extensive and complete documentation.
- 2 more virus scan engines: Grisoft AVG and BitDefender.
- ntfs-3g has full and fast read/write support for NTFS drives.
- Bootable from a USB stick and over PXE.
- An integrated Samba file server.
- LVM support.
- Kernel 2.6.19.2 and hwdata 0.191-1.
- Menu-based graphical startup.
- Tools to migrate TRK from CD to USB and back to an ISO file if desired.
- Bridging capabilities.
- Full proxy server support: a script called "setproxy" can prompt you for your networks proxy parameters, allowing you to access the internet and update your TRK.
