399vt102 list(perl) cvs-co(vt102)
400 <code>vt102</code> is a vt100/102/131 hardware simulator, implementing
401 practical and 100% compatible DEC VT terminal "emulation".
402
403 Most terminal emulators nowadays strive to emulate a DEC VT102
404 terminal (even those claiming to emulate a VT100 usually mean
405 VT102). Unfortunately, even though there are some VT100 simulators,
406 there haven't been any DEC VT102 ones, so it was very hard to test
407 compatibility with the real device.
408
409 Thanks to this simulator, one can now test how the "real" VT102 behaves,
410 and as free extra, it also simulates DEC VT100 and DEC VT131 terminals.
411
412 ROMs are included - a standard Perl 5.10+ installation, the
413 <code>stty</code> utility and the <code>IO::Pty</code> module are
414 required to run the script, and rxvt-unicode, xterm or a similar terminal
415 emulation is required to have display/keyboard support.

490IO-FDPass cpan cvs-pod(FDPass.pm,) cvs-co(Changes)
491 Pass a file descriptor over a socket.
492
493 This small low-level module only has one purpose: pass a file descriptor
494 to another process, using a (streaming) unix domain socket (on POSIX
495 systems) or any (streaming) socket (on WIN32 systems).
496
497Proc-FastSpawn cpan cvs-pod(FastSpawn.pm,) cvs-co(Changes)
498 fork+exec, or spawn, a subprocess as quickly as possible
499
500 The purpose of this small (in scope and footprint) module is simple:
501 spawn a subprocess asynchronously as efficiently and/or fast as
502 possible. Basically the same as calling fork+exec (on POSIX), but
503 hopefully faster than those two syscalls.
504
505 Apart from fork overhead, this module also allows you to fork+exec
506 programs when otherwise you couldn't - for example, when you use POSIX
507 threads in your perl process then it generally isn't safe to call
508 fork from perl, but it is safe to use this module to execute external
509 processes.
510
511AnyEvent-Fork cpan cvs-pod(Fork.pm,) cvs-pod(Fork/Early.pm) cvs-pod(Fork/Template.pm) cvs-co(Changes) list(anyevent) irc(anyevent)
512 Everything you wanted to use fork() for, but couldn't.
513
514 This module allows you to create new processes, without actually forking
515 them from your current process (avoiding the problems of forking), but
516 preserving most of the advantages of fork.
517
518 It can be used to create new worker processes or new independent
519 subprocesses for short- and long-running jobs, process pools (e.g. for
520 use in pre-forked servers) but also to spawn new external processes (such
521 as CGI scripts from a webserver), which can be faster (and more well
522 behaved) than using fork+exec in big processes.
523
524AnyEvent-Fork-Remote cpan cvs-pod(Remote.pm,) cvs-co(Changes) list(anyevent) irc(anyevent)
525 Remote processes with AnyEvent::Fork interface
526
527 Despite what the name of this module might suggest, it doesn't actually
528 create remote processes for you. But it does make it easy to use them,
529 once you have started them.
530
531 This module implements a very similar API as AnyEvent::Fork. In fact,
532 similar enough to require at most minor modifications to support both
533 at the same time. For example, it works with AnyEvent::Fork::RPC and
534 AnyEvent::Fork::Pool.
535
536AnyEvent-Fork-RPC cpan cvs-pod(RPC.pm,) cvs-co(Changes) list(anyevent) irc(anyevent)
537 Simple RPC extension for AnyEvent::Fork
538
539 This module implements a simple RPC protocol and backend for processes
540 created via AnyEvent::Fork, allowing you to call a function in the
541 child process and receive its return values (up to 4GB serialised).
542
543 It implements two different backends: a synchronous one that works like a
544 normal function call, and an asynchronous one that can run multiple jobs
545 concurrently in the child, using AnyEvent.
546
547 It also implements an asynchronous event mechanism from the child to the
548 parent, that could be used for progress indications or other information.
549
550AnyEvent-Fork-Pool cpan cvs-pod(Pool.pm,) cvs-co(Changes) list(anyevent) irc(anyevent)
551 Simple process pool manager on top of AnyEvent::Fork and AnyEvent::Fork::RPC.
552
553 This module uses processes created via AnyEvent::Fork and the RPC
554 protocol implement in AnyEvent::Fork::RPC to create a load-balanced pool
555 of processes that handles jobs.
556
557 Understanding of AnyEvent::Fork is helpful but not critical to be able
558 to use this module, but a thorough understanding of AnyEvent::Fork::RPC
559 is, as it defines the actual API that needs to be implemented in the
560 children.

946 GVPE creates a virtual ethernet network with multiple nodes using a
947 variety of transport protocols. Participating nodes do not need to trust
948 each other.
949
950 GVPE creates a virtual ethernet (broadcasts supported, any protocol that
951 works with a normal ethernet should work with GVPE) by creating encrypted
952 host-to-host tunnels between multiple endpoints.
953 <p />
954 Unlike other virtual private "network" solutions which merely create a
955 single tunnel, GVPE creates a real network with multiple endpoints.
956 <p />
957 It is designed to be very simple and robust (cipher selection done at
958 compiletime etc.), and easy to setup (only a single config file shared
959 unmodified between all hosts).
960 <p />
961 VPN hosts can neither sniff nor fake packets, that is, you can use
962 MAC-based filtering to ensure authenticity of packets even from member
963 nodes.
964 <p />
965 GVPE can also be used to tunnel into some vpn network using a variety of
966 protocols (raw IP, UDP, TCP, HTTPS-proxy-connect, ICMP and DNS). It is,
967 however, primarily designed to sit on the gateway machines of company
968 branches to connect them together.

1180fcrackzip cvs-co(fcrackzip.html)
1181 <b>fcrackzip</b> is a zip password cracker, similar to fzc, zipcrack and others.
1182
1183 <h3>Why, the hell, another zip cracker?</h3>
1184
1185 Naturally, programs are born out of an actual need. The situation with
1186 fcrackzip was no different... I'm not using zip very much, but recently
1187 I needed a password cracker. "Sure", I thought, "there are hundreds of
1188 them out there, I'll just gonna get one!". This wasn't so easy, in fact,
1189 none of the zipcrackers I found were able to find the passwords, either
1190 they didn't accept more than one zipfile, were awfully slow, or didn't do
1191 brute force attacks (which I needed). The worst thing was: no source!.
1192
1193 <h3>Why is <i>no source</i> such a bad thing?</h3>
1194
1195 [insert big chapter about the free software spirit here ;)], anyway
1196 people will never learn... You will find reasons why it's much better to
1197 provide source to your programs here, at opensource.org, and here, at the
1198 Free Software Foundation. Now, what are the features of fcrackzip?
1199
1200 <ul><li>
1201 <p>FREE</p>
1202
1203 <p>It doesn't cost anything, it will run on many architectures, and
1204 the source is freely available, so you can customise it to your
1205 needs. If you make improvements, don't hesitate to mail them to me,
1206 and I will include them in fcrackzip!</p>
1207
1208 <p>One goal of fcrackzip was to provide a free but still fast
1209 zipcracker, so that other people can improve and contribute it
1210 further, in an open developement style.</p>
1211
1212 <p>Other programs, like fzc, come not only without source, but the
1213 executable is even encrypted, so improving it or customizing it is
1214 difficult at best. (Maybe the programmers of other crackers don't
1215 want that people see how crappy their code actually is? Nobody
1216 knows for sure, but I see no other reason for this strange, but
1217 common, behaviour)</p>
1218
1219 </li><li>
1220 <p>FAST</p>
1221
1222 <p>On my old machine (a pentium-90), the portable C version is 12%
1223 slower than fzc, the fastest cracker I could find. Small parts of
1224 fcrackzip have been converted to x86 assembly, so it performs a bit
1225 faster (around 4%) than fzc now, on the same hardware (note: this
1226 is highly os/compiler dependent). Since the author of fzc claims
1227 that it is written fully in assembler, further improvements might
1228 well be possible. Incidently, on my new P-II machine, fcrackzip is
1229 almost twice as fast as fzc ;)</p>
1230
1231 </li><li>
1232 <p>PORTABLE</p>
1233
1234 <p>fcrackzip was written in ISO-C, and should run on most platforms,
1235 even 64 bit ones (maybe after some tweaking). I'll be glad to hear
1236 about portability problems so I can fix them.</p>
1237
1238 </li><li>
1239 <p>FEATUREFUL</p>
1240

1242 useful operation modes than other crackers. It already supports
1243 multiple zip files with multiple files. Remember that the code is

1245
1246 <p>However, since version 0.2.0 fcrackzip also includes a mode to
1247 brute force cpmask'ed images, something no other program (that I
1248 know of) can do, so at least there is one feature other crackers
1249 don't have.</p>

1257 <p>Naturally, there are also some drawbacks. At the moment, fcrackzip

1261 always modify the source (and send me patches!!!) (I hope I've made it

940fcrackzip cvs-co(fcrackzip.html)
941 <b>fcrackzip</b> is a zip password cracker, similar to fzc, zipcrack and others.
942
943 <h3>Why, the hell, another zip cracker?</h3>
944
945 Naturally, programs are born out of an actual need. The situation with
946 fcrackzip was no different... I'm not using zip very much, but recently
947 I needed a password cracker. "Sure", I thought, "there are hundreds of
948 them out there, I'll just gonna get one!". This wasn't so easy, in fact,
949 none of the zipcrackers I found were able to find the passwords, either
950 they didn't accept more than one zipfile, were awfully slow, or didn't do
951 brute force attacks (which I needed). The worst thing was: no source!.
952
953 <h3>Why is <i>no source</i> such a bad thing?</h3>
954
955 [insert big chapter about the free software spirit here ;)], anyway
956 people will never learn... You will find reasons why it's much better to
957 provide source to your programs here, at opensource.org, and here, at the
958 Free Software Foundation. Now, what are the features of fcrackzip?
959
960 <ul><li>
961 <p>FREE</p>
962
963 <p>It doesn't cost anything, it will run on many architectures, and
964 the source is freely available, so you can customise it to your
965 needs. If you make improvements, don't hesitate to mail them to me,
966 and I will include them in fcrackzip!</p>
967
968 <p>One goal of fcrackzip was to provide a free but still fast
969 zipcracker, so that other people can improve and contribute it
970 further, in an open developement style.</p>
971
972 <p>Other programs, like fzc, come not only without source, but the
973 executable is even encrypted, so improving it or customizing it is
974 difficult at best. (Maybe the programmers of other crackers don't
975 want that people see how crappy their code actually is? Nobody
976 knows for sure, but I see no other reason for this strange, but
977 common, behaviour)</p>
978
979 </li><li>
980 <p>FAST</p>
981
982 <p>On my old machine (a pentium-90), the portable C version is 12%
983 slower than fzc, the fastest cracker I could find. Small parts of
984 fcrackzip have been converted to x86 assembly, so it performs a bit
985 faster (around 4%) than fzc now, on the same hardware (note: this
986 is highly os/compiler dependent). Since the author of fzc claims
987 that it is written fully in assembler, further improvements might
988 well be possible. Incidently, on my new P-II machine, fcrackzip is
989 almost twice as fast as fzc ;)</p>
990
991 </li><li>
992 <p>PORTABLE</p>
993
994 <p>fcrackzip was written in ISO-C, and should run on most platforms,
995 even 64 bit ones (maybe after some tweaking). I'll be glad to hear
996 about portability problems so I can fix them.</p>
997
998 </li><li>
999 <p>FEATUREFUL</p>
1000
1001 <p>fcrackzip will, at some later stage at least, support many more
1002 useful operation modes than other crackers. It already supports
1003 multiple zip files with multiple files. Remember that the code is
1004 only a few hours old!</p>
1005
1006 <p>However, since version 0.2.0 fcrackzip also includes a mode to
1007 brute force cpmask'ed images, something no other program (that I
1008 know of) can do, so at least there is one feature other crackers
1009 don't have.</p>
