Open Source Unix Shell Networking Software for BSD

The IPCop Firewall is a Linux firewall distribution. It is geared towards home and SOHO users. The IPCop web-interface is very user-friendly and makes usage easy.

The toolkit glpk supports methods for mixed integer linear programming (MILP). These methods solve Capital Budgeting Problems (CBP). Unfortunately, glpk does not support any multithreading and there is no feature to distribute problems via network connections. Today, this is a pitiable sight, because modern computer systems are coupled by networks and support multi threading. We create a distributed system with Apache thrift and the C-API of glpk. Now, it is possible to use as many cores in a network as you want. With a focus on the MILP methods we implement a load balancing and speed up the solving process in a multiplicative way. Sometimes we have super-linear speedup with a small set of hardware. With a splitting of problems, parallel computing and distributing the actual best solution to all running processes we solve CBP much faster than a sequential processing can do.

Alfandega is a strong and Modular IpTables Firewall. It provides NAT, port-forwarding, spoofing list, blacklist of crackers and spywares sites, protection for tcp/udp scans, DOS/DDOS and Smurf attacks, TCP tuning, DHCP and PPP support and much more.

FireGate is an IPtables script for use as a firewall and NAT/masquerade for home networks or SOHO applications.

Easy to use firewall configuration script, featuring statefull connection tracking, bandwidth limiting and bandwidth logging.

Internet-L2tp is a program in Bash-script that facilitates the process of connection to Internet through ISP's that uses L2TP (Layer 2 Tunnelling Protocol). Internet-L2tp makes use of l2tpd (http://www.l2tpd.org).

PGGT (Performance Gathering and Graphing Tools) is a set of tools for gathering and graphing the information collected by the *stat suite of commands: iostat, vmstat, netstat.

A daemon that provides a method to track generic POP3 or IMAP logins and then email (in future:also block) the user if they exceed the number of accesses per given minutes allowed.

IPbench allows a distributed network of clients to hammer a server, collating performance figures from the clients (and optionally from the server) and then presenting them in an easly-analysable format.

jECTS is a JAVA project that focuses on some of the aspects of ECTS (= European Credit Transfer System). Mainly the translation of local grades into ECTS grades and the generation of a ToR (Transcript of Records).

Shell daemon I made for maintaining my DSL up back in 2000. As of year 2006, there is probably a lot of good tools for monitoring and keeping alive your ADSL connection, like ddclient for DynDNS, and native Debian PPP management for example...
