Free ripper 1.7.2 software for linux

John the Ripper is a fast password cracker, currently available for many flavors of Unix (11 are officially supported, not counting different architectures), DOS, Win32, BeOS, and OpenVMS.
It supports several crypt(3) password hash types which are most commonly found on various Unix flavors, as well as Kerberos AFS and Windows NT/2000/XP LM hashes.
Several other hash types are added with contributed patches.
Enhancements:
- Bitslice DES code for x86-64 that makes use of the 64-bit mode extended SSE2 with 16 XMM registers has been added for better performance at DES-based crypt(3) hashes with x86-64 builds on AMD processors.
- A new make target for FreeBSD/x86-64 has been added.

MMSRIP is a pure useless program which allows you to save on your hard-disk the content being streamed by an MMS server.
This program has been written for personnal use, so dont blame me if you think I am stupid doing such tool for the others.
MMS Ripper project should run on every POSIX compliant Operating System, but I cant give you any complete list.
MMSRIP is a client for the proprietary protocol MMS://.
It actually saves to a file the content being streamed. Please remember that this is not intended for real use, its existence is only and must only be documentary.
Enhancements:
- This release introduces many improvements and bugfixes such as a workaround for recalcitrant MMS servers, a switch which enables debug output and the display of the ripping speed.
- You may also compile MMSRIP on Solaris, Cygwin, and Win32 now.

TheLastRipper is an audio stream ripper for Last.fm.

TheLastRipper can save Last.fm streams to mp3s, while downloading album cover, appending ID3v1 tags and organizing you music after Artist/Album/Track.

TheLastRipper will also help you generate playlists from the data available from you Last.fm account. TheLastRipper requires a Last.fm login, you can regsiter for free at http://last.fm/

Please note that recordings of radio streams, may NOT be legal, we recommend that you investegate your local laws, before using TheLastRipper.

M3U Ripper is a Firefox extension that allows you to rip the contents of an m3u, wmx, or ram playlist file link by right clicking on the link and selecting the "Rip Playlist Contents..." option from the popup menu. The option will only appear if the URL ends with the proper file extension.

All the URLs in the M3U file are downloaded via the Firefox download manager to the default download directory or the one specified in the M3U Ripper options. You can also optionally have M3U Ripper create a sub directory with the playlist file name, create the remote playlist file, create a local playlist file, and filter URLs within the playlist files via regular expressions.

Rip is a command-line based audio CD track ripper and MP3, FLAC, or Ogg Vorbis encoder. I would believe that you probably already have all required tools on your system. Perhaps, even the CDDB/CDDB_get and MP3::Info perl modules. However, not everyone will have them installed by their distribution, therefore, I have included a tarball of these modules in my releases. You can get them on your own as well. Just thought Id save you the trouble. Installation notes for those packages can be found in the file README.
You only need one of bladeenc, lame, notlame, or gogo if you plan to rip to MP3 an is likely that you already have one of those. If you plan to rip to Ogg Vorbis, you will need the *newest* version of oggenc installed. Likewise, if you want to rip to FLAC, you will need flac installed on your system.
For CD track ripping, Ill be amazed if cdparanoia isnt on your system by default (assuming you run Linux). Otherwise there is always cdda2wav. I will further be amazed if perl isnt on your system by default. So, likely all you might need to install, other than rip, is CDDB/CDDB_get and MP3::Info. Those go in pretty easily. Read the README for more information and detailed notes.
Enhancements:
- (1) Grrr. This time for sure. Fix the $#%@! quote problem when tagging ogg vorbis files. Why exactly did ogg developers decide it would be a "good idea" if tagging was done on the command-line where shells could screw up special chars left, right, and sideways. Anyway, about a dozen different "fixes" patching this problem came into
- my inbox. I think I have done one that will leave special chars (like those german us) alone but also not screw up on a filename with in it. We shall see how I fare this time. No credit is going anywhere on this one but it sure was nice to have several patch possiblities to choose from. Thanks to everyone who gave this some thought. Hopefully I dont have to go near this one again.
- (2) Another thing people have been beating me over the head about since I started this is whether files should be named using " " or "_" for white-space. Now theres a flag to turn on and off the use of underscores while renaming files. Note that now you need to use -n/--nounderscore if you do not want underscores in filenames, even if you are using -f/--format. Marco von Loon finally motivated me on this one.
- (3) No longer append extension to rip temp file because it is useless and because when you loop over many CDs, the while loop causes the appension of the extension multiple times unless you move it to a very odd part of the code. Thanks to Kevin Mulholland.
- (4) No longer remove "-" from dir and file names. Just got a little overzealous removing special chars from names that would cause crashes otherwise. Oh w ll.A
- Thanks to Marco von Loon.
- (5) Kevin Lester caught a rare bug: if the CDDB entry is the empty string for some tracks, the parse logic goes into an infinite loop. properNameList is now checked for "" and replaces it with "Unknown".
- (6) Russel Smith was first to notice that the "-o" flag needs to be appended to the end of the flag list. As the code that did this work was a patch and not something I tested, this problem has been around for a while. Good thing someone is actually using flac and noticed. Tai Lee suggests removing the stdin "-" flag entirely. Anyone know if that is a good idea on all platforms?
- (7) Mike Irwin noticed that $dev from ~/.riprc on the first run causes problems and should be tested.
- (8) Playlists are now created relative to the inital directory you ran rip from. Though he didnt have it quite right, this too was motivated by Marco von Loon.

jRipper is an cd ripper and audio converter made in java.
jRipper can encode and decode Wav, Flac, MP3, Ogg, AAC(M4A) formats.
jRipper project is an frontend to cdda2wav, lame, oggenc/oggdec, flac and faac/faad programs.
jRipper can load track names for an CD from freedb.org by http or using the cdda2wav program.
It should work on all platforms that has the right java version (1.5). It has been tested on Linux and Windows XP. The installer contains static versions of cdda2wav, lame, oggenc, oggdec, flac, faac and faad for Linux and Windows.
Problems
Not all transcoding variants works. Known problems are:
AAC to Flac (linux, windows)
If jRipper cant be stopped during encoding, do kill the console program running in the background (cdda2wav, lame, ...).
Encoders
Some of the console applications have been modified to work better with jRipper. faac did get an extra quiet option which means it doesnt print anything to stderr. faad got a few extra fflush after prints to stderr. flac has some error checks canceled! It works for some degree but... So all source for the encoders are packed together for you to download. But its only the source nothing else, you have to do the compiling all by yourself.
Meta Tags
Meta tags are not converted when you do transcoding.
If an audio file can have meta tags, they will have the album and title data you see in the main window.
Installation:
- Install jRipper with clicking the jripper-install-2005.12.jar file.
- Or with the command java -jar jripper-install-2005.12.jar.
- After the install you can start jRipper with the icon on the desktop.
- If the installer failed to create an icon on the desktop or in the start menu, you can try the following ways:
- Double click jripper-2005.12.jar in the installation directory.
- Start it with java -jar jripper-2005.12.jar.
- Execute run.bat or run.sh.
To use jRipper you have to edit some settings in the setup dialog:
- Set the path to the encoder/decoder programs unless you have them already in the system path.
- Set the CD device.
- Typical values are /dev/cdrom for normal ide drives, 1,0,0 for SCSI or SCSI/IDE emulation.
- For SCSI settings run cdda2wav -scanbus as root or as a normal user in windows from a console to get a list of available drives.
- Set the root destination folder for your encoded tracks.
Enhancements:
- A minor Java 1.6 incompatibility was fixed.
- jRipper can dump a multi track CD to a single track (with an optional cue sheet).
- Two more directory layout options were added.
- All the ripper programs (for Windows) were updated.
- A few internal tweaks were made.

tvmet is a Vector and Matrix template library that uses Meta Templates and Expression Templates (ET) to evaluate results at compile time, thus making it fast for low-end systems.
Temporaries are avoided because of this. The produced code is similar to hand-coded code, but the quality of the code still depends on the compiler and its version. The dimensions for vectors and matrices are static and bounded at compile time using template arguments.
Main features:
- Matrices and Vectors with fixed sizes (of course), the data is stored in a static array.
- compile time dimension check for Vectors and Matrices to preserve the mathematical meaning.
- vector, matrix, matrix-matrix and matrix-vector fast operations:
- complete set of standard arithmetic operations for Vectors and Matrices (blitz++ supports this only for TinyVector).
- complete set of standard compare operations for Vectors and Matrices as well as ternary functions like a ? b : c (see eval for use).
- binary and unary operations.
- meta template use for Matrix-Matrix-Product $M,M$, Matrix-Transpose $M^T$ and Matrix-Vector-Product $M,x$ functions and operators.
- meta template for special functions like $M^T, x$, $M^T,M$, $M,M^T$ and $(M,M)^T$ functions, see ... special Meta-Template Functions.
- simple Matrix rows and column access as a Vector.
- chaining of matrix and vector expressions is possible and working.
- Vector inner and outer product (dot and cross product).
- special handling for the aliasing problem - see ... about aliasing.
- STL iterator interface. This opens the door to all sorts of great STL applications.
- type promotion (for handling Matrices and Vectors of differing types).
- works on self defined types such as the std::complex type.
- makes no use of exceptions. Therefore you can use it for embedded systems or in Linux kernel space.
- nice expression level printing for debugging purposes (print the expanded expression tree).
- good documentation with examples.
- regression tests for nearly all operations and functions.
- support for several compilers (see Compiler Support).
- written as a pure class and template library, no binary libraries and versioning are needed - designed to avoid code blot due to the use of templates.
- ISO/IEC 14882:1998 compliant.

RipOff is a GTK+ based CD ripper for Linux (and hopefully for other Unix systems once some testing and fixing have been done) that has a simple interface, CDDB lookups, and a plugin-based encoder architecture.
RipOff CD Ripper attempts to appeal to those users who want a non-GNOME dependent CD ripper with a simple interface, or users who just dont like the interfaces of the other GTK+ CD rippers.
Enhancements:
- Added HTTP_PROXY Functionality
- Fixed a bug where for newer versions of GTK "about" dialogue windows were not closing
- FLAC plugin now supports FLAC 1.1.3
- Added an icon for RipOff
- Miscellaneous code cleanups
