Internet
System :: Monitoring
About: Honeyd is a small daemon that creates virtual hosts on a network.
The hosts can be configured to run arbitrary services, and their TCP
personality can be adapted so that they appear to be running certain
versions of operating systems. Honeyd enables a single host to claim
multiple addresses on a LAN for network simulation. It is possible to ping
the virtual machines, or to traceroute them. Any type of service on the
virtual machine can be simulated according to a simple configuration file.
Instead of simulating a service, it is also possible to proxy it to another
machine.
Changes: A crash in the ARP handling code was fixed. The default actions
for UDP packets were fixed.

node sorting and 25% faster during the solution process. On the GUI side,
axis is now present also in OpenGL view, always positioned on rotation
center. Selected filenames are shown in the window header, and Impact
remembers the directory from the most recent session. For the
preprocessor, a spline curve now fits properly to points (if this option
is selected) and has an improved nodal distribution.

Internet :: WWW/HTTP :: Indexing/Search
About: SRESI is a smart bookmark manager. It currently sports both a
command-line and a PHP interface. It works with both the standard
hierarchical trees and the new and fashionable tagged bookmarks. It was
developed as a way to interface both representation systems. SRESI can use
Del.icio.us, Mozilla, Opera, and XBEL bookmarks, and handles a few more
exports besides. Directories and tags are used equivalently, and the final
hierarchies are inferred from actual tag use.
Changes: The PHP script is mostly feature-complete, with an improved
presentation. An HTML equivalent to DSV was added. All tag manipulations
now unbalance the structures instead of voiding them. Many small
improvements were made under the hood.

generate final reports via email, HTML pages, and RSS feeds. Developers
can easily write new backup methods, reports, and translations.
Changes: The Synbak Server Hostname was added to the email report subject.
The SMB/CIFS mount procedure is more robust. The program falls back to CIFS
mount if the current kernel doesn't support the SMBFS protocol. Some minor
bugs were fixed.
