Free plans to software for linux

Plan/B is a network aware file backup system specifically designed to make the backup of files from multiple machines to a variety of devices simple.
The system provides features such as comprehensive reporting, the ability to use CDROM (and soon DVD) drives across the network, as well as centralised management.
Plan/B can be deployed on Windows and Linux systems.
Main features:
General
- Backup anything, to anywhere: You can use any kind of device that plasticine knows about (currently CDROM, Local disk, Network share, FTP device) as either a source or destination. There is no limitation (as there is in DataArmour).
- Multiple sources, Multiple Destinations: A backup may source its files from multiple machines and devices. The destinations for a backup job can also be any number of machines or devices. Thus it is now easy to have a single set of files (documents, code or other important assets) copied to more than one location using a single job. No need to clone a job anymore!
- Multi-Platform: As the system is written in Java, it will work with any machine for which there is a VM (this is true for the backup server and agents). The administration console can be run on either a Linux or Windows machine (when SWT, the GUI framework used for the console matures on OsX, the console will be able to run on that OS as well)
- Volume spanning: If any removable destination is out of space, then it is possible to request the next volume during the backup process. A good example of this is backup to multiple CDs. Plasticine supports both the spanning of single files across multiple media, and also the saving of complete files across different media. In the first case, a large file can be split across two volumes. In the second case, only complete files are written to any volume (obviously, if the file is larger than the size of the volume, it will have to be split up).
- Flexible selection: A single job can backup whatever is deemed important to the user. The files to backup are specified by rules, which can be as simple as include everything, and complex as include all word documents, all excel spreadsheets under my docs directory, and everything NOT ending in .bak under the data directory
- Flexible scheduler: Jobs can be run whenever you like. The current scheduling implementation takes on a form very similar to Cron, but other implementations are easily added. The important point here is that the process of deciding when a backup should be run is completely separated from anything else about the backup job. This is a change from DataArmour, where the scheduling (specifically, the weekly incremental backup job scheduling) is fixed to run on a Monday, with a full backup occurring every week. In Plasticine, user defined schedules are possible.
- Statistics: The system emits various statistics while in operation, including current progress of various jobs, jobs in the run queue, current load, and recent logged events.
Enterprise
- Reliable:The remote agents are resilient to network failure. If a server cannot be contacted, they will move into a discovery mode until the server is back up. No configuration is required!
- Painless installation: The system is very easy to install - just run the included windows installer and tell it what kind of install you want. All services are configured automatically.
- Administration Console: The backup server is a separate process, which is administered via a GUI console. The console can be run from any machine, and can control and manage the settings for the backup server and any client. That means you can configure everything from one place.
Enhancements:
- This release added an option to specify that the destination location should be deleted prior to the backup occuring.
- It also added an option to copy full folders and specify whether or not to create an absolute or relative backup.
- Completion was sped up by detaching the email sending from the job completion process.
- Warnings are now used to log more in the reports for situations that are not necessarily fatal.
- When adding a source or destination, the file browser is now automatically opened for you.
- It is now possible to have multiple email recipients for a backup report.

Panoptis plans to create a network security tool (N-IDS) to detect and block DoS and DDoS attacks. The programming language is C++, and the input is being provided by routers.
First, you need a router that exports NetFlow(TM) data. Versions 1, 5 and 8 are supported, although version 8 has not been tested AT ALL. You also need a server for accepting data and processing it.
In order to compile the software you need a C++ compiler (tested only with g++ for the time being) and the CommonC++ library, found at http://www.gnu.org/software/commonc++/CommonC++.html At the moment the software has been linked against and tested with commoncpp2-1.0.9
YOU WILL ALSO NEED g++ VERSION 3.x!!! This is very important! Compiling with g++ 2.95.x or earlier versions causes segmantation faults in some cases. This has to do with CommonC++, not Panoptis.
Before you can use the software, you must also have read SNMP access to your router. That is only needed by the speeds.py script that collects some initial information (the .py extention should already make you think youll need the Python programming language installed -- thats true.
Enhancements:
- Update so that Panoptis compiles and runs on newer systems (GCC 3.3.5, CommonC++2 1.5.3).
- No new features, unfortunately.

Plan-B is a bootable Linux environment without the need for a hard drive, it runs entirely in ram or from the cd, based on a basic, stripped installation of Red Hat Linux and the fundamental workings of the SuperRescue CD. A list of tools and utilities are also included for projects such as:

* Forensics/Data Recovery
* System/Network Analysis and Security Scanning
* Temporary Network Device/Server
* IDS / NIDS System
* Network Status Report Creation

My reason for its creation came about due to finding other similar projects (SuperRescue CD, Biatchux (F.I.R.E.), Trinux, Knoppix) to be geared toward only a single area of the broad spectrum I was looking for. The first of which (by H. Peter Anvin, the author of Syslinux, Isolinux, and zisofs) was the only one close to the concept I had in mind which is why I chose it as the foundation for this cd. After not finding what I was really looking for, the "All-in-One", I decided the only way to get it was to build one myself.

YASTR is a simple string library that mainly consists of functionality that I require in my programs.

This entire library should be compatible with ANSI C89 && C99. To use, copy yastr.c, include "yastr.h" and go. No libraries to link, no special compilation flags, nada, zip zilch.

No initialization of the library is needed, but it is possible to configure the library to use custom functions to manage memory, as well as set the character used to escape and unescape strings.

Much of the library uses a yastr string, which is (currently) a rather simple structure, but please use yastr_len() and yastr_strptr() to extract the length and string pointer from a yastr struct. In future releases, the members of the structure may change as needed, but there are currently no plans to change yastr_len() or yastr_strptr().

To create a new yastr struct, try yastrnew() or yastrdup(). To destroy a string and free up memory, use yastrfree() on the string.

Most of the naming convention is ya[function], where [function] is the C function most similar to ya[function]. For example: yavsnprintf() -> vsnprintf()

Yastr also impliments a few non-traditional functions for manipulating string structures.

Bless is a high quality, full featured hex editor.

Bless is written in mono/Gtk# and its primary platform is GNU/Linux. However it should be able to run without problems on every platform that mono and Gtk# run.

There are also plans for the addition of a lua based scripting language for binary data manipulation.

Katalog is a CD organizer for the KDE.

If you have many CD and tons of downloaded files, but you arent able to remember where you put a file when you need it, then Katalog may help you. With this application you can scan a CD and store all the data about each file in a tree structured catalog.

You can add as many catalogs as you like. Searching through the catalogs its easy and fast. The folder to search can be on your drive or on a removable media, such a CD, ZIP or floppy. Katalog saves data in a XML file, compressed on the fly using gzip.

I start to write this application trying to port the excellent KDE 1.x application kdiskcat to KDE 3.x, but the part of the KDE API involved is changed radically so I start to write Katalog from scratch.

In the first revision of the application I tried to mimic the graphic interface and the features of kdiskcat. Soon I found two better alternatives of Katalog: gtktalog and CdCat, So I changed my plans and I write a brand-new Katalog fully integrated in KDE.
