Free wanted software for linux

HTMLatex is a mod_python application that uses memcached to reduce the massive overhead of repeatedly rendering the same equation. It has an option to sanitize the latex source removing any potentially dangerous code. Currently it is only tested on Apache 2 + mod_python with python 2.3 and py-memcached-1.2. It is fairly generous about the HTML and latex it accepts.
Im unsure if this will work on Windows as I paid zero attention to interoperability.
HTMLatex has two main goals: first, I wanted to avoid preprocessing; I wanted to be able to type the raw latex into an HTML document and be finished. Second, I wanted the HTML/Latex file to remain untouched.
There is one option: DEBUG. If DEBUG is set, the intermediate files are maintained on disk in /tmp/htmlatex -- this is the only method available for helping to troubleshoot latex errors. Oddly enough, performance should theoretically *increase* if debug mode is on as it doesnt require repeated filesystem access to delete files.
There used to be another option: SANITIZE, which checked the latex source for dangerous code and replaces it with a sanitized graphic. I decidd that giving people the option to auto-render latex code over the web that could do arbitrary things to their PC was a bad idea.
All latex code is sanitized now. If you want to turn it off, just comment out all of the _sanitize() calls in Equation._translateToTex().
Enhancements:
- Internet Explorer users can now see the rendered equations.
- Memcached is no longer used. Instead, images are served from the filesystem.

arpdetect is a perl script to detect when the network youre connected to changes, and run some commands when that happens. It does this by detecting a MAC address of some host you specify (usually a router). Actions can be re-run at a predetermined period with crond.


I needed something that detected when I was on a new network and did some stuff. Like, if I was at work, I wanted to rsync some pictures to my server there, or if I was at home, I wanted to backup my mail. Things like that. I figured the easiest way was to arping for a box I knew would always be there (like the router) and run commands at that time. Of course, you may need to re-run these commands every once and a while, so it has that support as well. Take it for a spin, let me know what you think.

Install should be pretty easy; download and install the perl modules required:
Getopt::Long
XML::Simple
Proc::Daemon
and copy the program to where you like it to be (I recommend /usr/local/bin). Config the thing to do stuff the way you like it in some config file (I like putting it in /usr/local/etc/arpdetect.xml) and run it! You can do that w/ the included init.d script for RedHat, or by typing a command similar to the following:
/usr/local/bin/arpdetect -c /usr/local/etc/arpdetect.xml
If somethings not quite what you expect, or need something else, or it just plain works, let me know!

iPirate project is a small application for sharing files between two friends.

iPirate was written in a day because I wanted to download some songs from a friend of mine, whose internet connection does not allow connections from internet to his machine (so FTP and friends are out).

I also did not want to use any established P2P software, because this is just a small and private sharing of files. Furthermore, I found it fun to code such a program.

The features include sharing your files, search for files containg a string, listing a users files and downloading files from a user.

Due to the circumstances that lead to the writing of this software, the program supports two modes of download: you either connect to the machine you want to download stuff from and say: start sending data, or you let the remote machine connect to your machine and receive the given data.

jack_capture is a small simple program to capture whatever sound is going out to your speakers into a file.

jack_capture is the program I always wanted to have for jack, but no one made. So here it is.

Usage:

jack_capture [ -b bitdepth ] [-c channels] [ -B bufsize ] [filename]

Filename is by default auotogenerated to something like "jack_capture_ .wav"
Bitdepth is by default FLOAT.
Channels is by default 2.
Bufsize is by default 262144.

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.

Todo
Add subnet scanning
Add progress bar
Display service name next to port number in results box
