Free wep key changer software for linux

WEP Key Changer project, in short WepKC is a client/server application that allows you to protect your ad-hoc (point to point) wireless network when you are unable to use (due to software or hardware limitations) sophisticated protocols like WPA.

The program consists out of two parts:

the wepkcd daemon, which randomly changes the WEP key after a specified amount of time and sends the chosen key, encrypted with AES, to the wepkcc client
the wepkcc client, which receives the key through the encrypted channel and changes the WEP key in the client machine

The server also waits for packets ("pings") from the client, resetting the WEP key to a defined value when the client goes down and stops pinging the server.

If someone tries to use the wireless network without contacting the server, the connection will be dropped repeatedly in order to prevent further annoyance from strangers (please note that this feature, at the moment, works only in *nix systems).

And its very easy to setup and use.

Wchange provides a very simple wallpaper changer.

It requires only java runtime environment (JRE) and gconftool-2.

Usage:

java Wchange /home/folder/pictures/ seconds [random]

Where:

/home/folder/pictures/ is the directory where are wallpapers

seconds is how much time the system will wait between wallpaper switching

random (optional) use it only if you want wallpaper random switching

Oroborus Theme Changer is an app for changing the theme in the Oroborus window manager.

Oroborus Theme Changer is an app for changing the theme in the Oroborus window manager.

To use the app just

#cp otc /usr/bin

It presumes your theme directory is located at /usr/share/oroborus/themes - if it is located anywhere else then change the value prefix in the otc file.

If you dont have an .oroborusrc file in your home directory then it will create one for you.

As usual this app. comes with no guarantees or warranties and is covered by the GPL

MAC Changer GUI will display and change your MAC address to a user supplied or random value.

Created with kommander 1.3.0. Not sure if it works with previous versions.

Depends on kdialog and must be executed with the kdesu command.

Example:

kdesu kmdr-executor /home/someDIR/mac.kmdr

As this script is executed using root privileges it is good practice to inspect the script for malicious content. With that being said there is nothing in the script that can harm your computer. A reboot will restore your original MAC if you forget its value and want to change it back.

GSchange project is a Grub Splash Screen Changer.

This application will change your grub (boot loader) spash screen every time you run it: If you add it to your startup apps it will change your grub splash screen every time you boot. It does not requires root privileges!

Before using this app you must add manually this line to /boot/grub/menu.lst:

splashimage

(hd0,1)/home/smart7/Desktop/GSchange/GSchangesplash.xpm.gz

where /home/smart7/Desktop/GSchange/ is the directory where is GSchange.class

Usage:

java GSchange /home/smart7/SPLASHS/

where /home/smart7/SPLASHS/ is the directory where are the splash screens (only *.xpm.gz files)

The Hacker Key Guide allows hackers, both current and aspiring, to encode vital information about their traits into a single line of text, generally useful for sig files.
The Hacker Key Guide is based in principle on the wonderful Geek Code by Robert Hayden, but is skewed further to the geek programming niche.
Enhancements:
- Category additions include "Cygwin" for Windows, "MMO" and "RTS" to games, and several new additions to the books section.
- Answers 2 and 3 in math were changed for those hackers still in secondary school.
- The Linux section was completely revamped and updated, and the user-specified (O)ther option was added to Linux and IDE/text editors.
- The politics section now uses the Political Compass website ratings.

KNetworkManager is the KDE front end for NetworkManager. KNetworkManager project provides a sophisticated and intuitive user interface which enables users easily to switch their network environment.

The range of functions encompasses the features implemented by NetworkManager daemon. Up until now NetworkManager supports:

Wired Ethernet Devices (IEEE 802.3)
Wireless Ethernet Devices (IEEE 802.11): Unencrypted, WEP, WPA Personal, WPA Enterprise
Virtual Private Network (VPN): OpenVPN, VPNC
Dial-Up (PPP)

How does it work?

For both, Wireless LAN and Wired LAN, NetworkManager supports devices known to HAL. Unless working in offline mode, NetworkManager tries to keep the system connected at any time. For this, NetworkManager follows the following policy.

Once started, NetworkManager asks HAL about available network interfaces. If a wired network interface with a carrier is found, NetworkManager connects to this. Either by DHCP (default) or by setting up previously defined static configuration. Later on, when KNetworkManager starts up, NetworkManager will expose its information about network devices and wireless networks found by scanning to the applet.

At this point, if a user decides to unplug the wired connection, NetworkManager will not connect to an arbitrary wireless network. By default all available networks are untrusted. Only if a user decides to connect to a network manually once, this specific network n henceforth being marked as trusted.

n = { ESSID, Hardware address or addresses of the access point}

The trusted networks are stored individually for each user. KNetworkManager stores them and informs NetworkManager about the known, trusted networks. If a wired connection drops due to unplugging the cable NetworkManager will automatically connect to a trusted network. As this step was done without user interaction, NetworkManager will reconnect to the wired connection once it has a carrier.

If a user joins a wireless network by manual intervention (e.g. user clicks on a network listed in the context menu of KNetworkManager or connects to a hidden wireless network), NetworkManager will take down any previous connection. If one unplugs the wired connection after such a step, NetworkManager will not connect to the wired connection once it has a carrier.

Lock keys Applet is a GNOME-applet, that shows the status of the caps-, num- and scroll-lock keys of your keyboard.
This isnt especially usefull for normal keyboards, as they got leds for that. But some keyboards (especially wireless keyboards) dont have. One more feature of the applet is that it saves the status of the lock-keys and restores it, when starting GNOME.
Installation:
The `configure shell script attempts to guess correct values for various system-dependent variables used during compilation. It uses those values to create a `Makefile in each directory of the package.
It may also create one or more `.h files containing system-dependent definitions.
Finally, it creates a shell script `config.status that you can run in the future to recreate the current configuration, a file `config.cache that saves the results of its tests to speed up reconfiguring, and a file `config.log containing compiler output (useful mainly for debugging `configure).
If you need to do unusual things to compile the package, please try to figure out how `configure could check whether to do them, and mail diffs or instructions to the address given in the `README so they can be considered for the next release.
If at some point `config.cache contains results you dont want to keep, you may remove or edit it.
The file `configure.in is used to create `configure by a program called `autoconf. You only need `configure.in if you want to change it or regenerate `configure using a newer version of `autoconf.
The simplest way to compile this package is:
1. `cd to the directory containing the packages source code and type `./configure to configure the package for your system.
If youre using `csh on an old version of System V, you might need to type `sh ./configure instead to prevent `csh from trying to execute `configure itself.
Running `configure takes awhile. While running, it prints some messages telling which features it is checking for.
2. Type `make to compile the package.
3. Optionally, type `make check to run any self-tests that come with the package.
4. Type `make install to install the programs and any data files and documentation.
5. You can remove the program binaries and object files from the source code directory by typing `make clean. To also remove the files that `configure created (so you can compile the package for a different kind of computer), type `make distclean.
There is also a `make maintainer-clean target, but that is intended mainly for the packages developers. If you use it, you may have to get all sorts of other programs in order to regenerate files that came with the distribution.
Enhancements:
- (almost) completly renamed everything to lock-keys-applet
