The Fedora Security Spin provides a safe test environment to work on security auditing, forensics, system rescue and teaching security testing methodologies in universities and other organizations.
The spin is maintained by a community of security testers and developers. It comes with the clean
... [More] and fast LXDE Desktop Environment and a customized menu that provides all the instruments needed to follow a proper test path for security testing or to rescue a broken system. The Live image has been crafted to make it possible to install software while running, and if you are running it from a USB stick created with LiveUSB Creator using the overlay feature, you can install and update software and save your test results permanently.

Dulwich is a Python implementation of the Git file formats and protocols.
The project is named after the village in which Mr. and Mrs. Git live in the Monty Python sketch.
Gummi is a LaTeX editor for the Linux platform, written in C/GTK+. It was designed with simplicity in mind, but hopes to satisfy both novice and advanced LaTeX writers. Gummi was released as opensource software under the MIT license.
Viking is a free/open source program to manage GPS data. You can import and plot tracks and waypoints, show Terraserver maps under it, add coordinate lines, make new tracks and waypoints, hide different things, etc. It is written in C with the GTK+ 2.
As Wikipedia says, WEP, Wired Equivalent Privacy, is part of the IEEE 802.11 standard (ratified in September 1999), and is a scheme used to secure wireless networks (WiFi). Because a wireless network broadcasts messages using radio, it is particularly susceptible to eavesdropping; WEP was designed
... [More] to provide comparable confidentiality to a traditional wired network, hence the name. However, several serious weaknesses were identified by cryptographers, and WEP was superseded by Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA) in 2003, and then by the full IEEE 802.11i standard (also known as WPA2) in 2004. Despite the inherent weaknesses, WEP provides a bare minimal level of security that can deter casual snooping. [Less]
mbuffer is a tool for buffering data streams with a large set of unique features:
* direct support for TCP based network targets (IPv4 and IPv6)
* ability to send to multiple targets in parallel (distribution mode)
* support for multiple volumes
* I/O rate limitation
*
... [More] high/low watermark based restart criteria
* configurable buffer size
* on the fly MD5 hash calculation
* highly efficient, multi-threaded implementation
It is especially useful, if you are writing backups to fast tape drives or libraries. Those drives tend to stop and rewind if they have a buffer underrun. This so called tape screwing reduces the lifetime of the motors.
mbuffer can prevent buffer underruns, if used correctly and speed up the whole backup process. Please read the man page for details, how to use it. [Less]
The mr(1) command can checkout, update, or perform other actions on a set of repositories as if they were one combined respository. It supports any combination of subversion, git, cvs, mercurial, bzr, darcs, cvs, and fossil repositories, and support for other revision control systems can easily be
... [More] added. (There are extensions adding support for unison and git-svn.)
It is extremely configurable via simple shell scripting. Some examples of things it can do include:
* Update a repository no more frequently than once every twelve hours.
* Run an arbitrary command before committing to a repository.
* When updating a git repository, pull from two different upstreams and merge the two together.
* Run several repository updates in parallel, greatly speeding up the update process.
* Remember actions that failed due to a laptop being offline, so they can be retried when it comes back online. [Less]
