Free we are all aware software for linux

Aware is a high performance distributed event processing framework built for systems management. It comes with probes for common network services and system resources. Additionally, Aware allows the cross-correllation of many different streams of information, and includes a Web-based reporting interface.
Aware is intended to enable system administrators tune system variables, set monitoring/security alarms and build adaptive distributed systems. Aware modules may be linked into applications making them aware and able to participate in the larger managed system.
Ultimately, multiple systems will monitor themselves and others, cooperating to make decisions to optimally tune performance, proactively enhance security and compensate for faults.

Enhancements:
- This major beta release provides a new Web-based interface using a built-in websever and a Sqlite database.
- The old PHP/MySQL GUI is gone.
- Installation and configuration were simplified and the run-time footprint is now very small relative to similar systems.
- The user interface now has threshold alerts on metrics (e.g, traffic), and more reports.
- There are new handlers for mDNS, Sqlite, and BigBrother.
- Two new applications included are a small faster static Web server (xap) and multicast file copy programs (mcctx and mccrx).

Debian Font Manager (dfontmgr) is a GUI frontend for Defoma. You can see the fonts registered to Defoma, their hints, their status (which applications they have succeeded or failed to register), the applications using Defoma framework and information about the applications and the contents of their id-caches.

You can also register a font by drag-and-drop a font file, unregister a registered font, change the hints of and re-register a registered font. If a defoma-aware application uses an id-cache and if theres an identifier conflict (which means some fonts provides the same identifier) in the id-cache, you can indicate which font should provide the identifier.

GUI versions of some utilities in Defoma and psfontmgr are also installed.

namefix.pl is a Perl script which purpose is to make formatting file names of media files very easy and quick.

Initialy it was just used to convert spaces to underscores on all mp3s in a given directory, but I soon added case formatting and many other options.

As far as Im aware this was first the script/ program created for the purpose of automatically formatting media collections.

So after many lapses, drinking/ smoking binges, hard drive failures and my laziness in general, namefix.pl is back, better than ever.

Open Beat Box (OBB) is an open-source beat box ( a virtual drum machine ).
We are still in an early stage of development but we aim full drum machine functionalities.
Main features:
- Highly customizable graphical interface, including bitmap skins and variable shape widgets.
- Floating tools : realy interesting with multi-screen.
- Skin aware help system that update the images acording to the skin you curently use.
- Plug-in architecture for sound effects.
- Portability : Windows, Mac, Unix
- Cross-platform file compatiblitily.
- Real-time preview and offline rendering for realy complex effect that cant be added real-time on your machine
- Distributed rendering over multiple computers.
- Customizable sound sample packages.
- Customizable keyboard shortcuts.
- Matel Power glove input driver.
Enhancements:
- Code major restructuration
- More performance
- Added XML Skins
- Gui enhancements (drop shadow on labels, centered spinbox label, mousescroll on slidebars)

MaraDNS is a package that implements the Domain Name Service (DNS), an essential internet service.
MaraDNS is intended for environments where a DNS server must be secure and where the server must use the absolute minimum number of resources possible.
MaraDNS was created in response to issues people had with the DNS servers available in early 2001; and has the following design goals:
- Security-aware programming. A DNS server needs to be secure. I have a number of security features in the code, including:
1. The code uses a special string library which is resistant to buffer overflows.
2. The code, if started as root, mandates running as an unprivledged user in a chroot() jail.
- Open-Source. The 1.0 release of the DNS server is public-domain code; the next release will be released under a very liberal BSD-style license.
- Simplicity. This DNS server has the minimum number of features needed to correctly act as an authoritative and/or recursive name server.
Enhancements:
- The AES variant that MaraDNS uses has been hardened against some cache timing attacks that cryptographers have recently published.

The mkCDrec utilities are optional for mkCDrec itself, but are an added value for rescue and recovery purposes.

The utilities are staticly compiled and include parted, memtest, partimage, gpart, and recover. Memtest86 is also available for memory testing.

To improve the added value of your recovery/rescue CD-ROM. You will notice that links from mkCDrec CD-ROM are foreseen to the /cdrom/utilities part of the CD-ROM and that man pages of these tools are already available within mkCDrec main toolset.

Without installing the utilities you cannot use them (obvious), but it will not break any other functionality of the mkCDrec tools. Therefore, a full restore remains possible (and disk cloning too), but you will not be able to resize a partition afterwards to name something.

Most of these utilities were compiled as static binaries, therefore, you can use those tools seperately too. If you know any tool which could useful to be included, please let me know... Since mkCDrec_utils_v0.5.7 you will notice that mkCDrec will use isolinux to boot from the CD-ROM instead of using syslinux floppy boot emulation.

But, this will only work if you use mkCDrec_v0.5.7 (or higher) as isolinux was first introduced in v0.5.7.

Parted

The famous Partition Editor of GNU software. The User Manual of parted is already part of mkCDrec.

Memtest

An excellent memory testing tool.

Partition Image

A tool to make/restore partition of msdos/vfat/ext2/reiserfs file systems. The primary purpose to include this tool is to allow a restore of old partition images made by this tool.

Gpart

Guess partition does what it implies. It can even recover destroyed partition tables, and therefore, maybe preventing a full restore. Useful in case if you do not make a mkcdrec on a regular basis.

Recover

An excellent tool to edit an EXT2 file system to recover lost files.

e2salvage

e2salvage is a utility which tries to recover a data from damaged ext2 partition. It may be used when e2fsck does not recover the broken ext2 filesystem. Before trying this tool read the man page (man e2salvage).

ext2resize

ext2resize, ext2prepare and ext2online are useful tools. ext2resize can increase (or decrease) the size of an unmounted ext2 filesystem. Be aware for ext2online one need a kernel patch (not likely installed). By the way, ext2resize does work too on an Ext3 filesystem! Be aware, one needs to apply S. Tweedies kernel patch (ext3) and an updated ext2 filesystem e2fprogs-1.20 or higher (which are ext3 aware). Last 2 requirements are of course only needed in case if you want to work with ext3 filesystems.

memtest86

Memtest86 is thorough, stand alone memory test for x86 architecture computers. BIOS based memory tests are only a quick check and often miss many of the failures that are detected by Memtest86.

chntpw

The offline NT password editor (chntpw) is a little program wich enables you to view and change passwords in a Windows NT SAM user database. For example,

Installation

# cd mkcdrec; tar zxvf mkCDrec_v0.7.9_utils.tar.gz
# ls -l utilities

The Prelude Library (libprelude) is the glue that binds all aspects of Prelude together. It is a library which enables Prelude components to communicate with the Prelude Manager.
libprelude library also makes it easy for third party software to be made Prelude Aware (able to communicate with Prelude components). It provide common, useful features used by every sensor.
Enhancements:
- TCP keepalive settings were implemented on platforms that support it.
- When reading prelude-adduser password from a file, the newline at the end of the string is removed.
- When reading an IDMEF message fails, more information about the place where the error happened is provided.
- An issue with idmef_path_get() on empty path (pointing to the root message) was fixed.
- Various bugfixes and minor API improvements were made.
