Snort Report is an add-on module for the Snort Intrusion Detection System. Snort Report add-on provides realtime reporting from the MySQL database generated by Snort.

It has been tested on Redhat 6.2, 7.0, 7.1, and OpenBSD 2.9.

JUnit PDF Report project generates a PDF report from JUnit test results.

It uses Apache Ant to execute the generation, and Apache FOP to render the PDF document.

While automating tests for my company, I found that everything I need is available in the open source community, except printable test reports.

I couldnt sell the JUnitReport HTML reports to users. They see them as a technical artifact, and want to have a report that feels like a sign-off document.

Rather than building a solution in-house, I decided to initiate an open source project for it. I hope I can give something back to the community for everything it gave me.

Java Stencil Report is designed to write school reports in a fast way by a set of user-inserted sentences. The project has a small vector graphics editor to create a full customizable print model. Java Stencil Report is designed for schools, but can be used to write any kind of judgement. It does not require any installation.
Enhancements:
- Lines in the print model editor (VectorGraphicsLine) can now be mouse-selected with a more accurate mask.
- VectorGraphicsElement z-depth is now displayed in the status bar.
- A new user friendly dialog for changing the form period was added.
- The placement of VectorGraphicsElement was randomized.
- Transparency was added to the selection border.
- The generic name "Indicator" is now substituted with a more appropriate "Evaluation Wizard" and "Stencil" in all label and the jstecilreport folder.
- A new set of icons was provided in the print model editor.
- Some code was optimized.

Progress Report Manager project is a system for entering and sending school progress reports for teachers and parents.
The Progress Report Manager was built to alleviate problems experienced with traditional school progress reports.
Administrators create progress reports that are automatically sent via email.
Every week, teachers receive a message in their inbox reminding them that a new progress report has been created.
The teacher completes the progress reports online using a Web browser.
At the end of the week, the administrators click a button which sends email messages to every parent whose child received a report.
The parents can look at their students progress online and reply to teacher comments using response features.
Enhancements:
- inactivate students fixed
- help files fixed / modified / written
- report views fixed
- log files can be flushed
- semesters fixed

MP3 Report Generator is a customizable program to scan a list of (sub)directories, creating a report from an HTML template.

Also calculates various statistics and each songs playing time. Supports ID3 and ID3v2 tags.

All options can be configured through the command line, see mp3report.pl --help for more info. You may also want to modify the hard coded defaults at the top of the program file.

Usage: mp3report.pl [options] [directory...]
--help shows this help screen
--printmode uses a smaller font for printing
--title=TITLE sets the title used in the report
--outfile=OUTFILE file to write report to, - for STDOUT
--template=FILE file to use as report template
--stdgenres use standard genres instead of winamp genres
--id3v2 enable id3v2 support (experimental)
directory... dirs to scan (subdirs included)

Installation:

You should be able to run mp3report.pl directly after decompressing it:

tar xfzv mp3report-1.0.0.tar.gz
cd mp3report-1.0.0
./mp3report.pl --help

If your perl interpreter isnt in /usr/bin/perl, youll need to change the first line of mp3report.pl

$report->project(the_project);
$report->boxname(your.machine.name);
$report->style(unix);
$report->start;

integrit is a more simple alternative to file integrity verification programs like tripwire and aide. It helps you determine whether an intruder has modified a computer system.
Without a system like integrit, a sysadmin cant know whether the tools he/she uses to investigate a potential break in are trojan horses or not. e.g., If the machine has a "/tmp/. " directory containing a shell thats setuid root, and you want to investigate to determine how badly the cracker has compromised the machine, how do you know that the attacker hasnt replaced your "find" and "ls" commands with tampered versions that fail to report the crackers files?
A system like integrit works by creating a database that is a snapshot of the most essential parts of your computer system. You put the database somewhere safe, and then later you can use it to make sure that no one has made any illicit modifications to the computer system. In the case of a break in, you know exactly which files have been modified, added, or removed.
integrit is a robust, stable piece of software designed for professionals.
Main features:
- small memory footprint during runtime
- This is a big deal because a machine that is important enough to protect is probably doing important things. Since the other processes are important, integrit doesnt step on anyones toes: its conservative with memory.
- simple, modular design and implementation means a smaller learning curve and better potential for open-source development
- uses up-to-date cryptographic algorithms from gnupg.
- designed with unattended use in mind
- e.g., integrit includes the MD5 checksum of newly generated databases in its report
- intuitive cascading rulesets for the paths listed in the configuration file
- an option to reset the access times of selected files or directory trees after doing checksums
- output format can be XML or an easy-to-scan human-readable format
- simultaneous check and update: integrit can generate a new database while running a check against an old database
- distribution contains standalone auxiliary programs for convenience that you can safely ignore or else use when needed.
- builds quickly and easily source
Enhancements:
- This version fixes exit status codes when just "missing files" are found.
