Free transport layer security software for linux

jGGTrans is a gateway between Jabber/XMPP and Gadu-Gadu (which is a very popular proprietary instant messaging protocol in Poland).

GG Transport allows Jabber users to use their favorite XMPP client to talk with their GG-using friends.

RULI stands for Resolver User Layer Interface. Its a library built on top of an asynchronous DNS stub resolver. RULI provides an easy-to-use interface for querying DNS SRV resource records. The goal is to promote wide deployment of SRV-cognizant software. RULI aims to fully support SRV-related standards. There are bindings for PHP, Perl, Guile/Scheme, Java, and Lua. IPv6 is supported.

Now you can understand the benefits of SRV records and please see how RULI can help you.

SRV records are more complex than A records

Handling DNS SRV is not as simple as to deal with ordinary address records. When one performs a query for A records by calling gethostbyname(), he gets a list of addresses which should be contacted in the same order as they were received. For SRV records, there is an additional logic that must be applied to the records, based on their weight and priority, to discover the correct sequence for contacting them.
RULI can handle SRV records for you

The SRV logic is described in RFC 2782. Those who intend to use SRV benefits in their application are expected to implement that exact behavior. RULI can help here: it automatically performs all the SRV logic for you.
Keep focus on your application logic

Application developers probably want to spend time on their business logic; not dealing with the details of the DNS protocol or implementing the SRV specification.

RULI is a tested framework designed to properly fetch SRV records. It saves you time and head aches.
RULI is free as in free beer and in free speech

Luke Macken Security LiveCD provides a fully functional livecd based on Fedora for use in security auditing, forensics research, and penetration testing.
Main features:
- All of the security features and tools Fedora has to offer
- Features from the FedoraLiveCD
- Ability to install directly to hard drive
Spinning your own
# yum install mercurial livecd-tools
$ hg clone http://hg.lewk.org/security-livecd
# livecd-creator --config security-livecd/fedora-security-livecd.ks --fslabel=Fedora-7-Security-LiveCD
Making changes to the LiveCD is as simple as modifying the fedora-security-livecd.ks configuration file.

The layer extract plug-in is a Gimp plug-in that creates a new image/film by periodically extracting layers from another image.

It takes one interval (number of sequent layers) every period. The number of periods can be limited.

Homeland Security Threat Level is an extension which displays the current U.S. Homeland Security Threat Level as an icon.

Displays the current U.S. Homeland Security Threat Level as an icon in the status bar.

MultiAdmin security framework kernel module provides means to have multiple "root" users with unique UIDs.
This fixes collation order problems which for example appear with NSCD, allows to have files with determinable owner and allows to track the quota usage for every user, since they now have a unique uid.
MultiAdmin Security Module also implements a "sub-admin", a partially restricted root user, who has full read-only access to most subsystems, and additional write rights only to a limited subset, e.g. writing to files or killing processes only of certain users.
Enhancements:
- The NetAdmin user class has been removed since it can be handled in userspace.
- The code has been updated to work with Linux 2.6.22.

GNU Generic Security Service Library provides a Generic Security Service (GSS-API) implementation.

It is used by network applications to provide security services, such as authenticating SMTP/IMAP, via the GSSAPI SASL mechanism.

It consists of a library and a manual, and a Kerberos 5 mechanism that supports mutual authentication and the DES and 3DES ciphers.
