Suricata is an Intrusion Detection and Prevention (IDS/IPS) engine developed by the Open Information Security Foundation and its supporting vendors. The engine is multi-threaded and has native IPv6 support, file extraction capabilities, and many more features. It's capable of loading existing Snort rules and signatures, and supports many frontends through Barnyard2.
Release Notes: This release fixes several accuracy and stability issues, serveral false positives, and a file extraction corruption bug.
360-FAAR (Firewall Analysis Audit and Repair) is an offline, command line, Perl firewall policy manipulation tool to filter, compare to logs, merge, translate, and output firewall commands for new policies, in Checkpoint dbedit, Cisco ASA, or ScreenOS commands. It is all contained in one file. It can read policy and logs for: Checkpoint FW1 (in odumper.csv / logexport format), Netscreen ScreenOS (in get config / syslog format), and Cisco ASA (show run / syslog format). It uses both inclusive and exclusive CIDR and text filters, permitting you to split large policies into smaller ones for virutalization at the same time as removing unused connectivity. It supports policy to log association, object translation, rulebase reordering and simplification, rule moves, and duplicate matching automatically. It allows you to seamlessly move rules to where you need them. 'print' mode creates a spreadsheet for your audit needs with one command.
Release Notes: This release includes much stronger consistency checks against the internal network and service object, and group and rule definitions after each round of processing. The netscreen reader now reads "interface dip" and rule "dip-id" statements and adds appropriate objects and NAT translation rules. Warnings are printed for unknown Cisco object group objects found in policies during the configuration read. NAT SRC DST translations in "rr" mode now support range objects using the range start address only, and network objects are now translated to their network bits only.
Pkgtxt2db is a utility for Slackware and Slackware-based operating systems which converts PACKAGES.TXT to various database formats. It currently supports CSV, JSON, and XML.
Release Notes: This release converts the code from Perl to Python, supports the Slackware extra and patches directories, and lets the output filename be chosen.

Release Notes: Several contributed modifications have been included. The Makefiles have been refactored for non-GNU make compatibility. filedescriptor::passFileDescriptor works on OS X 10.7 now. MSVC builds Release rather than Debug code by default now. The directory class now has rewind, skip, and read methods. The error class now uses strerror_r/strerror_s in a thread-safe manner. The charstring::isNumber/isInteger methods return false for strings containing only a period or negative sign. Many new methods have been added to the system class.
Bandwidth is primarily a memory bandwidth benchmark, but it can also measure network bandwidth. It measures the maximum memory bandwidth of each part of the memory system, including main memory, L1 and L2 caches, framebuffer memory, and register-to-register using fast, sequential memory accesses. It also performs random memory accesses to provide a more real-world performance estimate. The tests support Linux (Intel), Windows/Cygwin, and Mac OS X. Its core routines are in assembly for x86 and x86-64 architectures. Bandwidth also includes automatic graphing of the results, stored to a BMP image file. The network bandwidth tests support Linux, Mac OS X, and Windows/Cygwin.
Release Notes: This fixes some minor AVX issues.

Forban is a P2P file sharing application for link-local and local area networks. Forban works independently from the Internet and uses only the local area capabilities to announce, discover, search, or share files. Forban relies on HTTP and is opportunistic, meaning that it replicates any files of interest seen in its proximity. The Forban protocols are minimalistic to ease the production of other implementations.
Release Notes: This release adds custom broadcast/multicast destinations, an option to completely disable IPv6, and some minor fixes.
metaf2xml parses and decodes aviation routine weather reports (METAR, SPECI, SAO), aerodrome forecasts (TAF), synoptic observations (SYNOP), and BUOY observations and stores the data as XML. XSLT style sheets convert it to plain language, as HTML or text. Current weather data from NOAA and other sources can be fetched and displayed.
Release Notes: An SQL database can now be used as the source for messages. SAO processing was extended. The Russian translation was improved. Processing of SYNOP section 5 was extended for RU and LT. Yet another example callback function (producing XML) was added. A few other minor changes were made.
Baruwa (Swahili for letter or mail) is a Web 2.0 MailScanner front-end. It provides an easy to use interface for managing a MailScanner installation. It is used to perform operations such as releasing quarantined messages, spam learning, whitelisting and blacklisting addresses, monitoring the health of the services, etc. Baruwa is implemented using Web 2.0 features (AJAX) where deemed fit. Graphing is also implemented on the client side using SVG, Silverlight, or VML. It includes reporting functionality with an easy to use query builder. Results can be displayed as message lists or graphed as colorful and pretty interactive graphs. Custom MailScanner modules are provided to allow for logging of messages to the MySQL database with SQLite as backup and for managing whitelists and blacklists.

GeoServer is the reference implementation of the Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC) Web Feature Service (WFS) and Web Coverage Service (WCS) standards, as well as a high performance certified compliant Web Map Service (WMS). GeoServer forms a core component of the Geospatial Web.
Release Notes: Many fixes, an improved security subsystem, and a new stable version of GeoWebcache.
Flac2All is a multi-threaded script that will convert your collection of FLAC files into either Ogg Vorbis, MP3 (with the Lame encoder), or FLAC, complete with any tags and identical file/folder structure. The script has been stable for about a year now, and it has been known to saturate 8-core machines with parallel conversions. It is useful for people with with large FLAC collections who also want a lossy version for portable media players. If wanted, the script can perform updates by skipping already converted files. It has only been tested on Linux, but it should work without alteration on the other Unix systems with bash and the required dependencies.
Release Notes: A new option system, the ability to set custom oggenc/lame parameters from the command line, CPU/core detection, support for Nero's AAC+ Converter, support for copying non-FLAC files across (album art, text files, etc.), support for output directory redirection, and many bugfixes, tweaks, and performance improvements.

Release Notes: Initial release.
SchemaCrawler is a Java API which makes working with database metadata as easy as working with ordinary Java objects. It is also a database schema discovery and comprehension and schema documentation tool. You can search for database schema objects using regular expressions, output the schema and data in a readable text format, and find potential design issues with lint . The output is designed to be diff-ed against other database schemas. SchemaCrawler supports almost any database which has a JDBC driver, but for convenience is bundled with drivers for some commonly-used RDBMS systems. SchemaCrawler works with any operating system which supports Java.
Release Notes: Weak associations are returned sorted. SchemaCrawler allows you to specify additional command-line options for GraphViz, using either a Java system property, SC_GRAPHVIZ_OPTS, or an environment variable with the same name.
SymmetricDS is Web-enabled, database independent, data synchronization/replication software. It uses Web and database technologies to replicate tables between relational databases in near real time.
