Free trinity rescue kit 3.2 software for linux

Trinity Rescue Kit or TRK is a 100% free CD bootable Linux distribution aimed specifically at offline operations for Windows and Linux systems such as rescue, repair, password resets and cloning, with the ability to update itself.
It has custom tools to easily recover data such as deleted files, clone Windows installations over the network, perform antivirus sweeps with 2 different antivirus products, reset windows passwords, read AND write on NTFS partitions, edit
partition layout and much much more.
Trinity Rescue Kit 3.1 is the evolved version of 3.0 and a complete rewrite of version 1.1 and the unfinished 2.0. It s mostly based on Mandrake 10.2 (Mandriva 2005) binaries and heavily adapted startup scripts.
What s new since 3.0?
- self update capability: TRK now has a script that will download/search all non-GPL
licensed software, like the Microsoft ntfs
drivers or F-prot. It will also update antivirus definitions for F-prot and Clamav.
Afterwards, it will recreate itself as a new iso
file which you can burn again to CD
- new version of captive-ntfs, using the latest XP SP2 drivers and LUFS
- clamav 0.88-1
- mkisofs, cdrecord, pico, cfdisk
- eject CD (was bug in build 204) and powerdown on halt
What s new since 1.1 (and 2.0):
- more hardware support:
kernel 2.6.14.3 with most default options left on, so all important hardware like
disc controllers and network cards are supported, even SATA disks, USB storage and gigabit ethernet. Also patched with lufs (for ntfs support) and bootsplash (background graphics)
- better network capability: besides all common network client tools, you can also run a secure shell server for remote access or TRK to TRK file copies
- run completely from memory: provided you have at least 192Mb of ram, you can run TRK from memory and eject the CD once it has booted, giving you the ability to mount other CDs
- vesa framebuffer support: TRK now has limited graphical support thanks to kernel
builtin framebuffer support.
- qtparted: the famous PQMagic clone. Partition editing never been this easy thanks to the graphical interface this tool uses (via framebuffer)
- configure your LAN to be "TRK 3 compliant": you can change the way a TRK behaves by adding an otherwise unused parameter to your DHCP server to point to a webserver where you keep specific configuration data for your TRK such as proxy settings or complete scripts with which you can do anything you want
- run scripts from a local computer by searching for /.trk/trklocal.conf
- full NTFS write support thanks to the captive ntfs project by Jan Kratochvil.
- more NTFS write support with the NTFS Fuse driver.
- Secure Shell server: let a user boot from TRK, enter a new password for root and
connect to TRK remotely
Featuring home brewed scripts, new and improved:
- updatetrk (since 3.1): updates TRK with ntfs drivers, F-prot + definitions and
Clamav definitions. When the script is run without arguments, it looks for a Windows pagefile.sys, creates a loopback filesystem on it and creates TRK from there. Afterwards it copies the new isofile to C: emp, from where you can burn it to CD again
- clonexp: script that uses ntfsclone to perform copies of ntfs filesystems between
two computers each running their copy of Trinity Rescue Kit 3.1. One PC copies his Windows installation over the network to another PC running a TRK 3.1 with a secure shell server enabled. An easy way to clone Windows installations or recover as much as you can from a dying disk. Run it either interactively or from a single commandline
- winpass: does the same thing as in TRK 1.1, searches for all local Windows
installations, runs chntpw on your SAM file and resets the password. It now also handles Windows on FAT32 correctly and uses the safe ntfs driver from the Linux kernel, so it works even without captive support
- regedit: is actually the same as winpass, but starts chntpw in interactive mode and allows you to edit a Windows registry
- virusscan: completely rewritten,this script now has two different engines: the default is to run with the GNU Clamav antivirus which is free for everyone. This is a very good scanner, but the drawback is that it can only detect virus infected files, not clean them. So the only option is to delete them, where most of the time the file is the complete virus. But just to be sure we don t delete anything valuable, a quarantined backup is being made first. The other part of the script uses the free-for-home-users F-prot. F-prot itself is not included in TRK but it gets downloaded from their site. F-prot DOES have the ability to disinfect files if necessary.
- ntfsundeleteall: also completely rewritten, ntfsundeleteall, a wrapper for
ntfsundelete now recovers deleted files from an NTFS volume but it gives you the ability to add a recoverability percentage to the commandline. Since it only recovers files and not directories, sometimes you would have double filenames. This has been countered by adding the inode of the file at the beginning of the filename, so recoverability is 100% within the possibilities of ntfsundelete
More utils:
- links: simple webbrowser which runs in framebuffer graphical mode. Handy to go and read some reference docs on the Internet
- ftp and lftp
- ssh and scp
- ms-sys: This program is used to create Microsoft compatible boot records. It is able to do the same as Microsoft "fdisk /mbr" to a hard disk. It is also able to do the same as Microsoft "sys d:" to a floppy or FAT partition except that it does not copy any system files, only the boot record is written.
- Reiserfs tools
- ext2/ext3 tools
- ntfsprogs
- dosfs tools
- tcpdump, nmap and netcat
- mdadm for offline raid configuration
- burn, a utility that stresses your CPU
- samba client: mount windows shares over the network
- shred: erase a harddisk until its unrecoverable even by magnetic resonance recovery
- fatback: undelete files from fat filesystems
- TestDisk: Tool to check and undelete partition, works with most common partitions
- PhotoRec: File and pictures recovery. PhotoRec has been created to recover pictures from digital camera memory and it has been extended to recover lost files from harddisk (List of known files). PhotoRec is safe to use, it will never attempt to write to the drive or memory support you are about to recover from. Recovered files are instead written in the directory from where you are running the PhotoRec program.
- pico text editor
- mkisofs and cdrecord
- perl 5
Enhancements:
- Very extensive and complete documentation.
- 2 more virus scan engines: Grisoft AVG and BitDefender.
- ntfs-3g has full and fast read/write support for NTFS drives.
- Bootable from a USB stick and over PXE.
- An integrated Samba file server.
- LVM support.
- Kernel 2.6.19.2 and hwdata 0.191-1.
- Menu-based graphical startup.
- Tools to migrate TRK from CD to USB and back to an ISO file if desired.
- Bridging capabilities.
- Full proxy server support: a script called "setproxy" can prompt you for your networks proxy parameters, allowing you to access the internet and update your TRK.

Mondo it backs up your GNU/Linux server or workstation to tape, CD-R, CD-RW, NFS or hard disk partition. In the event of catastrophic data loss, you will be able to restore all of your data [or as much as you want], from bare metal if necessary.

Mondo is in use by Lockheed-Martin, Nortel Networks, Siemens, HP (US and France), IBM, NASAs JPL, the US Dept of Agriculture, dozens of smaller companies, and tens of thousands of users.

Mondo is comprehensive. Mondo supports LVM, RAID, ext2, ext3, JFS, XFS, ReiserFS, VFAT, and can support additional filesystems easily: just e-mail the mailing list with your request. It supports adjustments in disk geometry, including migration from non-RAID to RAID. Mondo runs on all major Linux distributions and is getting better all the time. You may even use it to backup non-Linux partitions, such as NTFS.

Mondo is free! It has been published under the GPL (GNU Public License), partly to expose it to thousands of potential beta-testers but mostly as a contribution to the Linux community. I charge for 1-to-1 technical support to fund Mondos development.

Search And Rescue project is an air rescue flight simulator. The player pilots rescue helicopters to rescue victims in various situations of distress.

Search and Rescue is a helicopter based air rescue flight simulator. It employs a simple flight dynamics engine that is targetted towards the "average" player. It is not designed to be a cutting-edge realistic simulator, but rather a flexable game that everyone can play and enjoy.

The history of the development of this game goes back to 1997, when Search and Rescue was created as an explorative to design for more complex 3D games using the OpenGL graphics library. Much of the effort in the development of this game came from Wolfpack Entertainment and many dedicated contributors (see credits below).

This game was ported to Windows early on in its development to ensure the portability of its graphics code. However the Win32 version lacked certain features due to differences in Windows design of its graphic, sound, and controller implementation.

The flight dynamics engine (FDE) features helicopter, aircraft, and tilt-rotor aircraft flight dynamics models (FDMs). It uses source-centered (as opposed to world-centered) mathimatical equations to simulate movement which mimicks but does not fundimentally follow standard physics equations. This simplifies the "flyability" of the aircrafts at a slight cost of realisim and lightens processor load.

The 3D visual models of the aircrafts and objects were created by a program called Vertex 3D, an OpenGL modeller designed to create 3D visual models that are optimized for OpenGL.

Each scene is a finite sized flat world, separated vertically by cloud layer(s) and centered at the origin with an artificial longitude and latitude offset applied to displayed positions.

PLD is a free, RPM-based Linux distribution, aimed at the more advanced users and administrators, who accept the tradeoffs of using a system, that might require manual tweaking in exchange for much flexibility.

Simultaneous support for a wide variety of architectures and non-conservative approach to RPM usage provides our users with a consistent environment on almost all available architectures.

Pre Make Kit (PMK) aims to be a BSD alternative to GNU autoconf, GNU libtool, and pkg-config. Pre Make Kit uses data files instead of scripts to limit the spreading of trojans in software packages.
Its designed to be easy to use for users and developers. For better portability and efficiency, all of the components are written in C. Requirements are a POSIX system, a C compiler, a POSIX shell, and a make tool.
Main features:
- Dependency configuration like autoconf (with partial compatibility mode).
- Compiler detection to set shared library flags.
- Architecture and cpu identification (support for x86 32 and 64 bits, IA64 and alpha).
- Internal pkg-config support (faster than calling pkg-config).
- Use a data file instead of a shell script that could hide trojans.

Pin is a tool for the dynamic instrumentation of programs. Pin supports Linux binary executables for Intel (R) Xscale (R), IA-32, IA-32E (64 bit x86), and Itanium (R) processors.
Pin was designed to provide functionality similar to the popular ATOM toolkit for Compaqs Tru64 Unix on Alpha, i.e. arbitrary code (written in C or C++) can be injected at arbitrary places in the executable. Unlike Atom, Pin does not instrument an executable statically by rewriting it, but rather adds the code dynamically while the executable is running. This also makes it possible to attach Pin to an already running process.
Pin provides a rich API that abstracts away the underlying instruction set idiosyncrasies and allows context information such as register contents to be passed to the injected code as parameters. Pin automatically saves and restores the registers that are overwritten by the injected code so the application continues to work. Limited access to symbol and debug information is available as well.
Enhancements:
- This release supports Windows and Mac OS X for IA-32.

Kopete Reloading Kits goal is to improve Kopete GUI. Except its cool styling feature, Kopete hasnt visually changed a lot for months...

You can see in the screenshot, the current result of my attempts to refresh the contact list visual aspect.

The aim of that project is to provide to the Kopete users a pack of well made patches that will give them the ability to customize their favorite IM client without having to write a single line of C++.

Everything will be stored as bitmaps, which means everyone will be able to create its own theme, youll only need Gimp and a few minutes of patience...

The screenshot you can see isnt a mockup but what is currently displayed on my computer, Ill try to improve it before releasing a first pack.

NOTICE : As a patch archive, youll have to fully compile kopete source code in order to benefit from these functionalties...
