[014] - COllaborative DEvelopment SHell 1.0.1 
  by Trump Coup (http://freshmeat.net/users/bourilkov/)
  Mon, Dec 17th 2007 13:37



About: CODESH (COllaborative DEvelopment SHell) is an automatic persistent
logbook for sessions of personal command line work. It records what and how
is being done, for private use/reuse and for sharing selected parts with
collaborators. It is an intelligent shell that automatically logs user's
shell sessions. Sessions are uniquely tagged and stored in local or
distributed backend repositories (ASCII flat file or Subversion or CVS
based) and can be extracted and reproduced at any time by the user who
created the session or by collaborators located anywhere in the world.  

Changes: This version introduces a new test suite for automatic testing of
the new persistent backend for virtual sessions, based on Subversion:
testSuiteSvn.txt, located in the tests subdirectory. Users can run tests
for an expanded choice of options: a Subversion backend; a CVS backend; a
flat file (ASCII) backend, thus avoiding Subversion or CVS dependencies;
or no backend at all. The tests serve a dual purpose as examples of using
CODESH in different modes of operation.

Internet
Printing
Software Development :: Libraries

About: CUPS provides a portable printing layer for Unix(r)-based operating
systems. It has been developed to promote a standard printing solution for
all Unix vendors and users. CUPS provides the System V and Berkeley
command line interfaces, and uses the Internet Printing Protocol ("IPP")
as the basis for managing print jobs and queues. The Line Printer Daemon
(LPD) Server Message Block (SMB), and AppSocket (a.k.a. JetDirect)
protocols are also supported with reduced functionality. CUPS adds network
printer browsing and PostScript Printer Description ("PPD") based printing
options to support real world printing under UNIX. It includes an image
file RIP that supports printing of image files to non-PostScript printers.
A customized version of GNU Ghostscript 7.05 for CUPS called ESP
Ghostscript is available separately to support printing of PostScript
files within the CUPS driver framework. Sample drivers for Dymo, EPSON,
HP, and OKIDATA printers are included that use these filters.

Changes: This release fixes some SNMP and PDF filter security issues, some
USB printing issues, and several scheduler issues.

[017] - cryptmount 2.2beta1 (Testing)
  by rwpenney (http://freshmeat.net/users/rwpenney/)
  Mon, Dec 17th 2007 10:57

Security :: Cryptography
System :: Filesystems

About: cryptmount assists system administrators in setting up encrypted
filesystems based on the device mapper (dm-crypt) of GNU/Linux systems
using a 2.6-series kernel. After initial setup, it allows any user to
mount or unmount filesystems on demand, solely by providing the decryption
password, with any system devices needed to access the filing system being
configured automatically. A wide variety of encryption schemes (provided
by the kernel and OpenSSL library) can be used to protect both the filing
system and the access key. The protected filing systems can reside in
either ordinary files or disk partitions. The package also supports
encrypted swap partitions, and automatic configuration on system boot-up.

Changes: Support for reading passwords from streams was added, to ease use
within scripts or GUIs. Consistency of handling passwords between
libgcrypt/OpenSSL/built-in key managers was improved.

necessary. Deleted or updated records in database can be synchronized
also. 

Changes: The Comma-Semicolon Analyzer was made case insensitive, which is
ideal for tags. Case insensitive Keywords were added. More logging
messages are provided when refreshing the index.

[031] - GNU ddrescue 1.7-pre2 (Development)
  by Antonio Diaz Diaz (http://freshmeat.net/users/ant_diaz/)
  Mon, Dec 17th 2007 08:15

System :: Recovery Tools

About: GNU ddrescue is a data recovery tool. It copies data from one file
or block device (hard disc, cdrom, etc) to another, trying hard to rescue
data in case of read errors. GNU ddrescue does not truncate the output
file if not asked to. So, every time you run it on the same output file,
it tries to fill in the gaps. The basic operation of GNU ddrescue is fully
automatic. That is, you don't have to wait for an error, stop the program,
read the log, run it in reverse mode, etc. If you use the logfile feature
of GNU ddrescue, the data is rescued very efficiently (only the needed
blocks are read). Also you can interrupt the rescue at any time and resume
it later at the same point. 

Changes: This version skips very fast over damaged areas. The logfile is
maintained minimized at all times, improving efficiency. The error count
now shows the number of error areas found irrespective of their sizes.

About: Nuhe is a rule based log monitoring system which is capable of
taking action when rules are matched againsts log activity. By default,
Nuhe runs in the background (as a daemon), but it can also be used in the
foreground in a log analyzer mode. Log analyzer mode just analyzes given
logs and prints results to stdout; no actions are taken when Nuhe is in
analyzer mode. 

Changes: This release contains an email ruleset for IMAP 4 and POP 3
servers, and fixes the ftpd ruleset. There are bugfixes for the node
manager and sensor, and other improvements.

Software Development :: Libraries

About: pacparser is a C library to parse PAC (proxy auto-config) files.
PAC files (implemented in JavaScript) are a proxy configuration method for
Web access. Using them, browsers can be configured to use different proxy
servers for different URLs, source IP addresses, protocols, etc. The idea
behind pacparser is to make it easy to add this PAC file parsing
capability to other programs. It comes as a shared C library with a clear
API. It can help you use PAC scripts in programs written in C or Python
(using ctypes).

Security
System :: Archiving :: Packaging
System :: Clustering/Distributed Networks

About: radmind is a suite of Unix command-line tools and a server designed
to remotely administer the file systems of multiple Unix machines. At its
core, radmind operates as a tripwire. It is able to detect changes to any
managed filesystem object, e.g. files, directories, links, etc. However,
radmind goes further than just integrity checking: once a change is
detected, radmind can optionally reverse the change. Each managed machine
may have its own loadset composed of multiple, layered overloads. This
allows, for example, the operating system to be described separately from
applications. Loadsets are stored on a remote server. By updating a
loadset on the server, changes can be pushed to managed machines.

Changes: This release added support for excluding filesystem objects based
on administrator-defined wildcard patterns. The default server port has
also been changed to 6222 in accordance with the IANA Radmind port
registration. The client tools try 6222 by default, and fail over to the
legacy port 6662 if the first connection fails. Numerous minor fixes are
also included.

Internet
Software Development :: Code Generators
Software Development :: Compilers

About: Stunnix VBS-Obfus protects your VBScript code from potential
analysis, study, or reworking by unwanted parties. It's both an obfuscator
and encoder for the VBScript code. It converts the VBScript in raw .vbs
files, or in ASP or HTML pages into a highly obfuscated form, making it
extremely difficult to study, analyse, or reuse, while fully retaining
functionality of the original source code. It optionally adds expiration
and hostname checking. It has a lot of options to control all aspects of
code hiding, and has full support for all syntax constructs. It is
designed to be multi-module aware. 

Changes: This version adds the ability to extract symbols that define an
API in all files in any directory the user specifies, and to use the
created list of symbols as exceptions. Minor improvements have been made
to Project Manager.
