Open Source Unix Shell Networking Software

AutoAP is a script that continuously scans for open Wi-Fi connections, tests them for validity, and connects to the strongest signal. If the connection is lost, the script scans again and finds the strongest valid signal again, and maintains a continuous connection to the internet in a mobile or portable environment. The script paremeters are highly configurable, including ability to configure secure connections. AutoAP is an add on to DD-WRT that allows routers to continuously scan for and connect to open (and predefined WEP) wireless networks. Ultimately the goal is to develop an easily deployable firmware that facilitates fast and easy mesh network creation. Typically, you would use this script on your router while in Repeater Mode, Client Mode, or Client-Bridged Mode.

BrazilFW is a mini Linux distribution designed to be used as a Firewall and Router that runs easily on older computers. An old PC running BrazilFW is much more powerful and efficient than commercial software for routing in offices and residences running on a "powerful" computer. BrazilFW is based on Coyote Linux, which was designed by Joshua Jackson who discontinued Coyote Linux in version 2.24 in August 2005. In that same month comes on the scene BrazilFW Firewall and Router (BFW) with version 2.24, which is led by "Claudio" and "Marcelo - Brazil", running only on floppy disks, and being 2.30.1 the last version with this support . The following versions, as well having automatic detection of network cards, only run on large capacity media, such as hard disk (HD). Versions in Development: * 2.33.x: Uses kernel 2.4.x and is developed by Marcinho Samurai. * 3.x: Uses kernel 4.x and is developed by WoshMan

CacheGuard-OS, amongst other functions, embeds a Web Gateway allowing you to have control over what type of Web content is allowed in your organization, by whom and when. The Web Gateway works as a transparent or explicit Web proxy and blocks malware and other unwanted contents such as ads or adult websites at gateway even in an encrypted format (HTTPS). In addition, its caching capability allows you to cache bandwidth-intensive traffic such as YouTube or Windows updates in order to save your bandwidth. CacheGuard Web Gateway is distributed as an open source OS called CacheGuard-OS that you can install on a virtual or hardware machine of your choice. Once installed on a machine, CacheGuard-OS transforms that machine into a network appliance. In addition to the Web Gateway, CacheGuard-OS includes multitude of other services such as VPN, WAF and WAN optimization. CacheGuard products are especially designed to address SME requirements by providing functional solutions.
