Trend is a general-purpose, efficient trend graph for "live" data. Data is read in ASCII form from a file or continuously from a FIFO and displayed in real-time into a multi-pass trend (much like a CRT oscilloscope). trend can be used as a rapid analysis tool for progressive or time-based data series together with trivial scripting.

Here are some key features of "Trend":

· OpenGL graphics
· Automatic or fixed graph scaling
· Two graph scrolling and shading modes
· Configurable colours/grid
· Flexible input
· Interactivity

Micro-Manager is an Open Source software package for imaging and control of automated microscopes on multiple platforms (Windows, Mac and Linux).

Together with ImageJ, a popular image processing package, μManager provides a comprehensive imaging solution – comparable to commercially available ones.

For a tutorial introduction for using Micro-Manager software youve just downloaded, or to get an overview of its basic capabilities Users Guide is the best starting point. Here youll find out how to navigate through the applications menus and dialogs and how to perform basic instrument control and acquisition. The Users Guide assumes you are running the software either in the "demo" mode (installation default), or that you are working with a previously configured hardware setup.

Configuring Micro-Manager software to work with your particular hardware setup is a separate topic, covered in detail in the Configuration Guide. Micro-Manager uses configuration files in textual, human-readable form to load appropriate device drivers and to adapt user interface to particular properties of your hardware setup. Configuration Guide explains how to write new, edit existing configuration files and how to troubleshoot configuration related run-time errors.

Micro-Manager software is designed to strictly separate user interface from the functional core module. That means that you can use its comprehensive set of microscope control and image acquisition commands from any Java program or Java-enable scripting environment such as Matlab. In other words, you can bypass its default, user interface and create your own, either in C++ or Java, or just write scripts in Matlab, or some other compatible environment. Programming Guide describes how to use the Micro-Manager programmatic interface (API) and demonstrates how to control the microscope setup from Java/C++ program or from the scripting environment. The entire API is listed in the API Reference in auto-generated Doxygen format.

Whats New in This Release:

· This release adds control of the Yokogawa CSU22 spinning disk confocal scanhead, ASI stages, shutters, and filter wheels.
· A bug in the adapter for the Sutter Lambda controller was fixed.
· Methods were added to retrieve X and Y stage positions independently, and the ability to run an (optional) startup script was added.

UWG is a lightweight gadget/windowing toolkit for C and X11. Interfaces are described using XML and are turned into C code using the ubuildinit utility. Currently, only a small percentage of the planned gadgets are implemented.

Micro WG is a C `version of WG. In general, UWG is somewhat more light-weight than WG. Firstly because its written in C and not C++. Secondly because it does not yet provide all the features of WG. Also, it should be significantly easier to `connect UWG to KRoC.

Why UWG ? Its now the case that there are many `widget libraries for programmers to choose from. The traditional X11 widget libraries (X Toolkit Intrinsics), GTK, QT, Motif, wxWindows, TK, etc.. GTK and QT are probably the most common for an average users desktop system -- as the graphics libraries of Gnome and KDE respectively. C++, used by WG, provides a largely type-safe environment for gadget programming -- i.e. the structure/nature of gadgets fit neatly into the C++ type (class) heirarchy.

However, C++ ultimately suffers from the same problems as some other `object-orientated languages -- namely leaky encapsulation. When writing WG, some of the limitations (maybe features) of C++ caused significant problems, particularly in the function-pointer department. Object-orientation is a fine model for data, but it does not work well when `bolted-on to sequential languages -- C++ and Java in particular.

Forcing a sequential flow-of-control through something that we tried to break into objects only leads to problems. E.g. when executing inside the method of one object, is it safe to delete another object ? -- well, only if that other object wasnt involved (and still is involved) in the flow-of-control. And this you cannot easily tell. Furthermore, in many cases, `delete may be substituted for any object interaction (method-call).

Also, a lot of modern GUI toolkits seem unnecessarily bloated. C++ (and other `frilly languages) can be blamed for some of this, but not all of it. WG isnt bloated yet, but its not far off. UWG is therefore an attempt at a lightweight (size and speed) gadget toolkit for X11, programmed in C.

Vexi is a platform for creating and publishing Graphical User Interfaces that can be used over the Internet or an intranet.

Vexi project features a very simple and powerful syntax based on xml and javascript, a set of complete, extensible, themable widgets, and a sandbox-like security model to protect users.

Vexi2 is in the final stages of stabilization. All features have been implemented. Most remaining work to be done is on project infrastructure (documentation, demos, etc) so that a visitor can easily use and learn about Vexi.

Soon Vexi will be able to adapt to each browser and platform, allowing it to work on most desktop computers without administrative intervention. Currently it requires Java is present on the client machine but the native builds are the next focus for the project.

Tor is a toolset for a wide range of organizations and people that want to improve their safety and security on the Internet.

Using Tor can help you anonymize web browsing and publishing, instant messaging, IRC, SSH, and other applications that use the TCP protocol. Tor also provides a platform on which software developers can build new applications with built-in anonymity, safety, and privacy features.

Your traffic is safer when you use Tor, because communications are bounced around a distributed network of servers, called onion routers. Instead of taking a direct route from source to destination, data packets on the Tor network take a random pathway through several servers that cover your tracks so no observer at any single point can tell where the data came from or where its going.

This makes it hard for recipients, observers, and even the onion routers themselves to figure out who and where you are. Tors technology aims to provide Internet users with protection against "traffic analysis," a form of network surveillance that threatens personal anonymity and privacy, confidential business activities and relationships, and state security.

Traffic analysis is used every day by companies, governments, and individuals that want to keep track of where people and organizations go and what they do on the Internet. Instead of looking at the content of your communications, traffic analysis tracks where your data goes and when, as well as how much is sent.

For example, online advertising companies like Fastclick and Doubleclick uses traffic analysis to record what web pages youve visited, and can build a profile of your interests from that. A pharmaceutical company could use traffic analysis to monitor when the research wing of a competitor visits its website, and track what pages or products that interest the competitor.

IBM hosts a searchable patent index, and it could keep a list of every query your company makes. A stalker could use traffic analysis to learn whether youre in a certain Internet cafe.

Tor aims to make traffic analysis more difficult by preventing eavesdroppers from finding out where your communications are going online, and by letting you decide whether to identify yourself when you communicate.

Tors security is improved as its user base grows and as more people volunteer to run servers. Please consider installing it and then helping out. You can also learn more about Tor here.

Part of the goal of the Tor project is to deploy a public testbed for experimenting with design trade-offs, to teach us how best to provide privacy online. We welcome research into the security of Tor and related anonymity systems, and want to hear about any vulnerabilities you find.

Tor is an important piece of building more safety, privacy, and anonymity online, but it is not a complete solution. And remember that this is development code�its not a good idea to rely on the current Tor network if you really need strong anonymity.

Whats New in 0.1.2.16 Stable Release:

· This release fixes a critical security vulnerability that allowed a remote attacker in certain situations to rewrite the users torrc configuration file. This could completely compromise anonymity of users in most configurations, including those running the Vidalia bundles, TorK, etc.

Whats New in 0.2.0.2 Alpha Development Release:

· This release provide new features for people running Tor as both a client and a server.
· Tor may now be run as a DNS proxy.

Security::CVSS is a Perl module to calculate CVSS values (Common Vulnerability Scoring System).

SYNOPSIS

use Security::CVSS;

my $CVSS = new Security::CVSS;

$CVSS->AccessVector(Local);
$CVSS->AccessComplexity(High);
$CVSS->Authentication(Not-Required);
$CVSS->ConfidentialityImpact(Complete);
$CVSS->IntegrityImpact(Complete);
$CVSS->AvailabilityImpact(Complete);
$CVSS->ImpactBias(Normal);

my $BaseScore = $CVSS->BaseScore();

$CVSS->Exploitability(Proof-Of-Concept);
$CVSS->RemediationLevel(Official-Fix);
$CVSS->ReportConfidence(Confirmed);

my $TemporalScore = $CVSS->TemporalScore()

$CVSS->CollateralDamagePotential(None);
$CVSS->TargetDistribution(None);

my $EnvironmentalScore = $CVSS->EnvironmentalScore();

my $CVSS = new CVSS({AccessVector => Local,
AccessComplexity => High,
Authentication => Not-Required,
ConfidentialityImpact => Complete,
IntegrityImpact => Complete,
AvailabilityImpact => Complete,
ImpactBias => Normal
});

my $BaseScore = $CVSS->BaseScore();

$CVSS->UpdateFromHash({AccessVector => Remote,
AccessComplexity => Low);

my $NewBaseScore = $CVSS->BaseScore();

$CVSS->Vector((AV:L/AC:H/Au:NR/C:N/I:P/A:C/B:C));
my $BaseScore = $CVSS->BaseScore();
my $Vector = $CVSS->Vector();

CVSS allows you to calculate all three types of score described under the CVSS system: Base, Temporal and Environmental.

You can modify any parameter via its accessor and recalculate at any time.
The temporal score depends on the base score, and the environmental score depends on the temporal score. Therefore you must remember to supply all necessary parameters.

Internet Chess ToolKit project is a Java library for chess with PGN, FEN, SAN, and ICS (FICS, ICC) support.

Internet Chess ToolKit is a Java-based set of libraries and widgets useful for performing common tasks such as reading SAN (internationalized), FEN, PGN, generating legal moves, and connection to Internet Chess Servers (FICS).

The purpose of the Internet Chess ToolKit is to provide an extensible library to facilitate the development of internet server clients, bots, training programs, peer-to-peer players, and and various other programs useful for the game player. The library was designed with a high level of abstraction and utilization of object oriented design patterns to make it extensible; The model set up should allow for implementations of many games besides Chess, which is the main focus of this library.

Such other games might include chess variants like BugHouse, or completely different games like scrabble and the Chinese game of Go. Another goal of the library is ease of use. A lot of effort has gone into comprehensive documentation and providing sensible names for methods, as well as providing many convenience methods.

Here are some key features of "Internet Chess ToolKit":

· FICS support (limited)
· legal move generation.
· game history with variation support (alternative move suggestions).
· move comment support in text and Numeric Annotation Glyphs (NAG).
· Standard Algebraic Notation (SAN) read/write support (internationalized for presentation in 16 languages).
· Portable Game Notation (PGN) read/write support (including move variations, and FEN).
· Forsyth-Edwards Notation (FEN) read/write support.
· True MVC structure with board displays driven by game model events.
· Command-line Board display (GUI to come).
· Well documented. Sample code also provided.

Whats New in This Release:

· Limited FICS support style12, match request, kibitz, whisper, say, tell, channel tell, shout, c/t/-shout, emote, move list, pin, gin, seek ads, seek remove, seek clear, game results
· Timeseal support
· XSLT java code generation for ICS events
· Sample ICS Client
· PGN bugs fixed

Micro Window-Gadgets Builder or in short UWGBuilder is a rapid application development environment (or IDE) for UWG (micro window-gadgets). Essentially it is a graphical editor for UWG user-interfaces, with project-control and other handy bits.

In terms of the interface, Borlands Delphi is probably the closest commercial product. UWGBuilder primarily reads and writes XHPD files, XML markup describing the interface (with code and other things embedded in it); these are converted into C code proper using the ubuildinit tool (and would be triggered from within a generated makefile).

Although not much of the project code is implemented yet, the intention is to use autoconf, automake and friends to handle building projects. As well as building stand-alone UWG/X11 applications, UWGBuilder can be used to edit interfaces for RAPP (remote applications).

UWGBuilder currently has most of the visual gadget database (of UWG gadgets), that generally works in terms of building interfaces. Property and code editing is mostly there too. Various bits of project load/save/etc. also working, but no compilation support yet.
Most of UWGBuilder is based on the earlier WGBuilder (for the previous C++ window-gadgets), though it is a fairly fresh implementation.

Exact Build project is a sane GNU Auto replacement. For portable build systems nowadays normally GNU autoconf and the associated companiens such as automake and libtool. However albeit portable they are rather crufty to use. The various macro expansion and generation steps extremely blow up the initial definitions and make execution slow and debugging a nightmare.

Even with the enourmous code bloat, it does not have a wide feature set and neither allows to maximize the gain of parallel builds nor other state-of-the-art compiler features. Manual tinkering is needed in such cases.

Mostly due the code bloat but also to obtain features such as mximal parallel build and object output seperated cleanly from the source, we create our own set of Makefiles for the non-recursive build system and shell scripts for configuration, if required by the software module (some straight forware code does come without a configure script at all).

Whats New in This Release:

Improved reporting: The Web Security in-line report has been significantly improved. The web usage tab now displays comprehensive statistics, detailing the most active web users and most frequented domains. Time ranges for this feature may be specified.
Log file filtering and search: You may now filter and search through archived log files by using a new tab under the "Logging/View Log files" section. This simplifies the process of locating specific entries.

Base license with proxy functionality: The base proxy functionality for HTTP/FTP/SMTP/POP3 (including HTTP Cache and authentication) is now available within the ASG base license. If you do not require applications such as anti virus or anti spam, the Email or Web Filtering subscriptions no longer need to be purchased.

Enhanced QoS configuration: Instead of clicking through individual tabs for each QoS-enabled interface, you are now able to define bandwidth pools on the new interfaces tab. This largely enhances the configuration of QoS profiles.

Backup heartbeat interface: You are now able to configure a backup heartbeat interface for HA configurations. This prevents occurrences where both the master and the slave try to become the master at the same time (master-master situations). These situations occur for example, because of an HA synchronization interface failure or due to an unplugged network cable.

eDirectory synchronization improvements: Administrators can now set intervals (in seconds) where the Astaro Security Gateway will work to synchronize its user database with the eDirectory server.
Custom DynDNS settings: It is now possible to freely enter custom DynDNS hostnames, for example, "www.example.com, mail.example.com, example.com"

Improved ACC compatibility: Version 7.006 contains a new device agent for enhanced interoperability with Astaro Command Center.
Regeneration of VPN Signing CA: You are now able to regenerate the VPN Signing CA which was created during the initial setup of the unit. The VPN Signing CA is the certificate authority who signs digital certificates for use with remote access and site-to-site VPN connections.

Bugfixes: The new release also corrects various outstanding issues. These issues previously affected the SMTP Proxy (large message ID) and generated kernel freezes with the smaller ASG devices as well as with hardware accelerated anti-virus scanning.
The handling for packet filter rules has been improved when additional addresses are in use. The possibility to edit/delete these interfaces after importing a V6 backup has also been addressed. The backend system now also allows the definition of usernames using numbers only.

Whats New in This Release:

· This Up2Date is a hotfix release for the WebSecurity Reporting backend.
· In some high-traffic environments, the reporting database may grow too fast.
· Along with this WebSecurity Reporting fix, three other issues are addressed.
· These issues cover possible DynDNS update problems, error handling in eDirectory environments, and search options in WebAdmin.
