Free serial port software for linux

LibSerial provides a collection of C++ classes that allow one to access serial ports on POSIX systems like standard C++ iostream objects.

Member functions are provided for setting various parameters of the serial ports such as the baud rate, character size, flow control and others. LibSerials idea is to simplify serial port programming on POSIX systems.

When you have installed the above tools, run the following commands:

Installation:

./configure
make
make install

Note: The html documentation will not be installed by "make install". I will fix this in the future release.

C-Dogs SDL is a port of the old DOS arcade game C-Dogs to modern operating systems utilising the SDL Media Libraries. In theory C-Dogs SDL should be able to run on Windows, MacOS X, BeOS and the other systems supported by SDL.

Genererally, the more UNIX like a system is, the greater the chance of C-Dogs working (MacOS X and BeOS people, I mean you guys).

C-Dogs SDL was ported to SDL by Jeremy Chin and Lucas Martin-King, using Gentoo Linux as their development environment.

C-Dogs is an arcade shoot-em-up which lets players work alone and co-operativly during missions, and against each other in the "dogfight" deathmatch mode. The DOS version of C-Dogs came with several built in missions and dogfight maps, this version is no exception.

The author of the DOS version of C-Dogs was Ronny Wester. See the "official" homepage for more details. We would like to thank him for releasing the C-Dogs sources to the public.

slsnif is a serial line sniffer. It listens to the specified serial port and logs all data coming through it. slsnif works transparently for both the device connected to the serial port and the controlling software for this device. It operates by opening a pseudo tty (pty) and linking it to the actual serial port.
slsnif operates by opening a pty and linking it to the serial port. These are following parameters / options:
1. Serial port to open (required).
2. Name of the file to direct output to (optional, defaults to stdout).
3. Desired baudrate (optional, defaults to 9600 baud).
4. Timestamp On/Off (optional, defaults to Off).
5. Print ascii values in hex On/Off (optional, defaults to Off)
6. Print number of bytes transmitted On/Off (optional, defaults to Off).
7. Optional colors for timestamp, number of bytes transmitted and normal output.
8. Lock port On/Off (optional, defaults to On).
9. Use Unix98 ptys instead of BSD ptys (optional, defaults to BSD style).
10. Second serial port to open. If specified, this port will be used instead of a pty, thus providing an ability to log data between two serial ports.
Enhancements:
- Added ability to resynchronize ports at any time by sending a SIGUSR1 signal to slsnif. Useful for debugging applications that change port parameters mid-way, after starting the transmission. One example is pppd daemon, which sets initial parameters in the chat script, and changes them later, after chat script terminates.
- Added ability to use SYSV (Unix98) ptys instead of BSD ones (see -u and --unix98 parameters). This option can also be turned on/off from rc-file.

Just Another Port Scanner (JAPS) is an easy to use, bare-bones TCP port scanner. JAPS requires the GTK+ library to run. I created JAPS because I felt it would be a fun project and I wanted to learn GTK+ programming basics.

To compile an install JAPS just type make.

Coarse Port Knocking is a simple implementation of the port knocking techniques.
This program uses the ngrep tool to sniff blocked network packets. It waits for special packets with determined keys and executes commands like a firewall to open and close ports.
Enhancements:
- A bug in injection mode has been fixed.

dsflasher is a utility to flash Dallas (Maxim) DS89C450 microcontrollers using a ROM loader.

Usage:

dsflasher -f [input filename] -p [serial port]

Bash Port Knocking is a set of scripts that use standard Linux tools to acheive a port knocking system. A Web page is used to open ports, and an email is sent every time the port knocking sequence is successfully made.
Main features:
- Uses custom scripts to begin firewall and ipmasquerade for multiple connections. This can be used as a gateway for ethernet provided Internet Connectivity in addition to supplying port knocking services.
- This script creates a web page that can be used for port knocking. This page can be used locally if the browser is using a public/anonymous proxy.
- This scripts emails the above created browser page to a specified email recipient each time the port knock sequence is successfully acheived.
- This script logs successful port knocks but denies knocks that hit a port designed in the initial scripts. This allows the script to be closed automatically if someone is hitting your computer repeatedly trying to automatically open the ports and allows you to close the ports if youve completed a log in or other desired action.
- In its current state it has run successfully for quite some time and been tested repeatedly with both anonymous proxy and remotely by the author for opening ssh.
- It allows the user to control the depth of the logs searched to function in a very low usage enviornment or a very high use enviornment as desired.
- It sorts the knocks by knocking address to prevent possible denial of service.
