Python library for PS3 0.1.2
Python library for PS3 (Sony Playstation 3) game development under Linux. more>>
As you may know, Ive been writing my PS3 stuff with a view to building up a library suitable for writing games and as I thought about it more the idea of using a scripting language for the game seemed the most logical way forward. I plumped on python as Id used it before for a couple of small jobs and it seemed like a nice language with a lot of support. Plus, it has the advantage of being pre-installed on most Linux distributions and very easy to extend, and so the PS3 library for python was born...
Brief bullet points of the current build:
Support for the PS3 frame buffer on a per pixel basis
Support for blittable objects (solid, masked or alpha blended)
Support for the PS3 controllers
Easy integration with PIL for image manipulation and text rendering
A proof-of-concept breakout game
After about a day and a half development, the core of the library was in place but in a not very visible way. It seemed that the only way I could actually demonstrate this to all be good stuff is by writing a quick game. And breakout is one of the simplest, so I spent another day writing that. Its important to have a good demo on release... So, Ill settle for this half-hearted attempt at a breakout game whose main redeeming feature is that it has alpha transparency on all the blocks!
Just to whet your interest, heres an example of how easy the code can be (taken directly from the test.py file):
image = Blittable(Image.open("miglu.jpg"))
for count in xrange(screen.height-image.height):
screen.clear()
screen.blit(image, (count,count) )
screen.flip()
screen.wait()
Enhancements:
- Adds support for image blitting with the SPUs.
- Currently, using 4 SPUs the alpha blended breakout demo runs at 30fps at 720p.

Dstat 0.6.6
Dstat is a versatile replacement for vmstat, iostat, and ifstat. more>>
Dstat allows you to view all of your system resources instantly, you can eg. compare disk usage in combination with interrupts from your IDE controller, or compare the network bandwidth numbers directly with the disk throughput (in the same interval).
Dstat also cleverly gives you the most detailed information in columns and clearly indicates in what magnitude and unit the output is displayed. Less confusion, less mistakes.
Dstat is also unique in letting you aggregate block device throughput for a certain diskset or network bandwidth for a group of interfaces, ie. you can see the throughput for all the block devices that make up a single filesystem or storage system.
You can customize your dstat output from /etc/dstat.conf and you can write your own dstat modules to plug into the dstat output.
Dstats output by default is optimized for being interpreted by humans in real-time, however the new CSV output allows you to store CSV output to a file to be imported later into Gnumeric or Excel to generate graphs.
Main features:
- Combines vmstat, iostat and ifstat information (in exactly the same timeframe)
- Modular design
- Enable/order counters as they make most sense during analysis/troubleshooting
- Easy to extend, add your own counters (please contribute those)
- Can summarize grouped block devices and see total numbers
- Can show interrupts per device
- Very accurate timeframes, no timeshifts when system is stressed
- Shows exact units and limits conversion mistakes
- Indicate different units with different colors
- Show intermediate results when delay > 1
- Written in python so easily extendable for the task at hand
- Allows to export CSV output
- CSV output can be imported in Gnumeric and Excel to make graphs
LooperNG 1.3
LooperNG is an intelligent event routing daemon. more>>
It is a modularised, rules-based event routing system that is flexible and easy to use. It is primarily deployed by network / security management groups as a central event gateway or an SNMP trap collection and forwarding station.
LooperNG events can be in the form of SNMP traps, Syslog Alerts, lines in a Log File, Sockets etc. Events can be received and generated such that an event can arrive in one form (e.g., SNMP) and forwarded in another form (e.g., Syslog). LooperNG can also receive events from systems like Nagios, Snort, Mon etc. and forward to other systems like a MySQL database, Netcool/OMNIbus, or just send an e-mail. Modules for new types of events can be easily written.
LooperNG was designed to improve on some of the limitations Looper (muthanna.com/looper). It is built completely from scratch with a cleaner more scalable architecture and is based on the Perl language.
Main features:
- SNMP Trap forwarding, exploding and rewriting (enhancing).
- Event generation for demos, debugging, troubleshooting etc.
- Event Enrichment and Escalation.
- Intelligent routing, rerouting and processing of events and alerts.
- Monitoring logfiles, syslog events, intrusion events etc.
- Forwarding alert history to databases, logfiles etc.
- Used as ad-hoc Netcool Probes.
- Used to replace HP Openview NNMs trap collection features.
- Centralize alerts in a LooperDB database.
NetDirector 3.1.2
NetDirector is an open and extensible management framework for managing configurations of common open source network services. more>>
NetDirector offers both form driven and fine-grained control of server configuration files with many added benefits including rollback and policy-based access. It can manage both Linux and most any flavor of Unix. However, the preferred platform to host NetDirector Server Manager on is Linux.
What can you manage with NetDirector?
Today you can manage the following configurations through an easy-to-use form based web console. Or you can edit the entire configuration file in an editor manually but with the added advantage of automated version control.
- HTTP (Apache)
- DNS (BIND)
- DHCP
- File and Print Services (Samba, NFS)
- Email (Postfix, Sendmail)
- FTP (VSFTP)
- Users and Groups (mass add users to multiple servers at once.
- Network Interfaces
- Numerous System files
What else can NetDirector do beyond configuration management?
NetDirector is more than just a configuration tool, NetDirector has additional features including the following:
- Rollbacks (Revision Control) of each change made to a service accross any number of servers
- Troubleshooting/Logs
- Schedule Changes to occur anytime in the future
- Server configuration cloning.
- Intuitive integrated support for managing clustered servers and disaster recovery configurations.
- Track Past or Scheduled Changes to be done
- Track who made what changes and when
- Granular Role based user management
These capabilities can be applied to other server functions. For example, you could adapt NetDirector to schedule and run shell scripts on servers under management. Or, you could develop a module to provide system backups using Amanda as or simply use NetDirector as a way to front-end access to all servers, giving you the ability to tighten the points of authentication to servers and add an additional layer of security.
Network Security Toolkit 1.5.0
Network Security Toolkit is a bootable ISO live CD and its based on Fedora Core 2. more>>
The toolkit was designed to provide easy access to best-of-breed Open Source Network Security Applications and should run on most x86 platforms.
The main intent of developing this toolkit was to provide the network security administrator with a comprehensive set of Open Source Network Security Tools. The majority of tools published in the article: Top 75 Security Tools by insecure.org are available in the toolkit.
What we find rather fascinating with NST is that we can transform most x86 systems (Pentium II and above) into a system designed for network traffic analysis, intrusion detection, network packet generation, wireless network monitoring, a virtual system service server, or a sophisticated network/host scanner.
This can all be done without disturbing or modifying any underlying sub-system disk. NST can be up and running on a typical x86 notebook in less than a minute by just rebooting with the NST ISO CD. The notebooks hard disk will not be altered in any way.
NST also makes an excellent tool to help one with all sorts of crash recovery troubleshooting scenarios and situations.
Enhancements:
- We are pleased to announce the latest NST release: v1.5.0. This release is based on Fedora Core 5 using the Linux kernel 2.6.18. Here are some of the highlights for this release: the NST Web User Interface (WUI), has been greatly enhanced and cleaned up; extensive additions to managing and analyzing network packet captures; the ability to setup and manage printers; the ability to easily mount many different supported file system types; the ability to manage the NST as a file server (both NFS and CIFS); the addition of the Inprotect package (a Nessus manager); the addition of the Zabbix package (another network resource monitoring tool - similar to Nagios)....
