Free yet powerful software for linux

Simply Powerful ToolKit in short SPTK is a powerful widget toolkit based on the Fast and Light ToolKit (FLTK).
The goal of this library is to create the easy-to-use, compact and effective library of controls to extend the abilities of FLTK library.
It is geared for business-style application development with database support (ODBC). All the widgets support database connectivity. A special CDialog class makes editing database records very easy. Every widget can be connected to the field, and CDialog can be connected to the database table.
Most of the controls are database-bound. If you place them on the CDialog-derived window they can load and save information from/to database.
This is the first release version of my controls(widgets) library that was designed to work with FLTK. Im using it for about a year in the production project.
Enhancements:
- Fixed a bug in CField::asString() that cause returning an empty string for some non-empty fields.
- Added couple of small fixes for better error hanling in CRegistry.

Yet another Linux FAQ is a comprehensive FAQ about the Linux Operating System. Yet another Linux FAQ is a great document for Linux beginners to read.
This FAQ tries to help those new to Linux help themselves. It covers topics such as kernel recompilation and X Window System configuration.
Enhancements:
- The FAQ was completely redesigned, and dead links were cleaned up.

Yet Another Financial Manager (YAFM in short) is application to track Your expenses and incomes. That way You know how much and for what You are spending, and if You are in line with retirement savings. All made in EASY and COMFORTABLE way.

The Difference

There are many programs to help manage Your finances.

So, why You should use YAFM?

First it is designed to be easy to use. It is not aimed to track every penny You spend, this would be annoying.

Second: it should be used as a tool to track spendings as exactly as You need. Don’t be stressed if some expences are not tracked or You have entered their approx value. YAFM is about helping You to know roughly how much and for what You are spending not making You feel bad, that expenses and incomes are not balanced up to penny. If You have enough patience to keep data 100% accurate - You will have very accurate results, good for You, but YAFM will not make troubles about coffee and doughnut this morning, You have forgot to enter.

YAFM BETA is free software, but version 1.0 will be commercial software. If You decide to donate me some money I promise You to get free 1.0 license. You can donate any amount, but if You would ask me how much I would say - 10 USD (1.0 pricing is not fixed but price will be somewhere between 10 and 20 USD).

This application is powered with Ruby on Rails and operated with browser locally. You need to have Ruby interpreter and sqlite installed. This means it can be run in Windows, Unix/Linux or Mac OS X environments.

For Windows (which I expect be to main platform for most users) there are sqlite .dlls provided with program.

Well… I’m using this program for myself from April 2006. I think for many people program like YAFM will be useful, so I decided give a try to release. Of course I’m releasing much more polished version than I use everyday, and also with much features missing. But I will successfully release next versions.

Yet Another Autoresponder (yaa) is an email (vacation) autoresponder that is able to fetch autoresponse data from various sources, using separate plugins for each source type.
Yes, i wrote yet another mail autoresponder daemon. Why? Becouse i was looking for mail autoresponder daemon, which would be easily extendable and would work with Postfix virtual delivery daemon virtual(8). Unfortunatly i was not able to find something like that on the internet, thats why I wrote it in Perl.
Main features:
- Fetches autoresponder data (subject, message, etc...) using plugins
- Currently developed plugins: SQL, LDAP, DB_File, BerkeleyDB, PCRE, STATIC
- It can forward entire original message to the per-recipient custom tunable email address
- Doesnt respond to mailing list posts and posts, that could couse autoresponder deadlock.
- Autoresponse messages can be in any charset.
- Single, all-in-one configuration file
- Can act as SMTP or LMTP server in daemon mode

Yet Another Time Machine is a command line Ogg Vorbis and MPEG audio player with the ability to control the tempo of playback without changing the pitch.
Primary usage would be to listen (for example) to audio books at 150% tempo. This is still understandable and saves time, hence the name of the program.
The following audio encoding formats are supported:
- Ogg Vorbis
- Ogg Speex
- MPEG
- All formats supported by libsndfile (FLAC, WAV, AIFF, ...)
Enhancements:
- Version 0.4 adds support for libsndfile.
- There is also an undocumented gem, you can use < and > to slow down or speed up by 10%, and hitting SPACE can be used to pause playback.

Yet Another antiVirus Recipe is a procmail that helps to filter out a lot of the most common e-mail worms.
For some of the above (plain iframe, clsid, xml, macro) e-mail is delivered normally but gets a WARNING in subject plus its old subject ($SUB).
Some of the warnings are:
WARNING-XML-CODEBASE-OBJECT-$SUB
WARNING-CLSID-EXTENSION-$SUB
WARNING-IFRAME-$SUB
WARNING-MACRO-$SUB
WARNING-NSCAM-SCORE:$NKNGS-$SUB
Main features:
- :: base64 signatures ::
- Most of these worms are MS-Windows executables and arrive at our e-mail encoded through base64 routines. YAVR uses especially selected signatures to locate these attachments. After that it places them in a directory (/virus/) sorted by name.
-
- :: iframe html exploit ::
- Through IFrame tag a html encoded e-mail can download and execute a file from a remote http site without informing the user.
-
- :: CLSID hidden extensions exploit ::
- Attachments which end with a Class ID (CLSID) file extension do not show the actual file extension saved and viewed with Windows Explorer. This allows dangerous file types to look as though they are actually innocent files, such as JPG or WAV files.
-
- :: xml codebase exploit ::
- Usage of some xml objects allow local files to be automatically executed, regardless of the security settings on the target machine.
-
- :: generic executable trap for bat, pif, vbs, vba, scr, lnk, com, exe ::
- The rest of MS-executable files that are not caught from base64 signatures end up in a virus-could-be file.
-
- :: generic macro detection for doc,dot,xls,xla files ::
- MS-Word and MS-Excel files that contain macro commands are marked with a warning.
-
- :: generic detection for most of nigeria scam e-mails (most of them) ::
- Nigeria scam e-mail is not a virus but a big spam problem... There are many good filters that use great algorithms for spam. This is just an add-on.
Enhancements:
- new switches for quarantine or not certain e-mailsbased on some ideas by Dan Smart
- YAVRQUARANTEXE if set to ON it sends unknown executables to /virus/virus-could-be as usual if set to OFF it delivers at inbox with a warning (and the X- header ;)
- YAVRQUARANTNIG same for nigeria scam
- YAVRQUARANTPRN same for porn e-mail read instuctions inside nkvir-rc
- X- marks in headers to help your own procmail scripts
- X-YAVR: MS-EXEC (any MS executable that wasnt identified by signatures)
- X-YAVR: NIGERIA (nigeria scam)
- X-YAVR: PORN (porn related)
- X-YAVR: MACRO (containing macro code)
- X-YAVR: XML-CODEBASE
- X-YAVR: IFRAME
- X-YAVR: CLSID-EXTENSION
- X-YAVR: SENDMAIL-EXPLOIT
- some more Worm.Moodown.b aka Netsky.b signatures
- another Mimail.Q

YALA is a web-based LDAP administration GUI. The idea is to simplify the directory administration with a graphical interface and neat features, though to stay a general-purpose program (unlike some LDAP browsers written specifically for managing users on the system).
Yet Another LDAP Administrator goal is to simplify the administration but not to make the YALA user stupid: to achieve this, we try to show the user what YALA does behind the scenes, what it sends to the server (unlike Microsoft Active Directory, for example).
Main features:
- Clear and Simple interface
- Cross-Platform: YALA can be accessed from any platform using any modern browser
- Cute javascript to improve the web-interface, which can be set off if you would like
- Theoretically works with any LDAP server, see README file for list of supported LDAP servers.
- Reads the schema from the LDAP server and gets lots of useful information off there.
- Entry Types recognition: You can configure YALA to recognize an entry of objectclasses X & Y, for example, as a user entry, have a special icon for it, and allow simple creation of new entries of this type (i.e. add a new user).
- Its free (under the GPL)
