SCons
A software construction tool
SCons is a software construction tool that is a superior alternative to the classic "Make" build tool that we all know and love. SCons is implemented as a Python script and set of modules, and SCons "configuration files" are actually executed as Python scripts. This gives SCons many powerful capabilities not found in other software build tools. We make SCons available in three distinct packages, for different purposes. - The scons package is the basic package to install SCons. You don't need any other package if you just want to try out SCons. - The scons-local package executes as a SCons standalone, out of a local directory. It's intended to be dropped in to and shipped with packages of other software for builds with SCons but not as a required install. - The scons-src package is the complete source tree, including everything we use to package SCons and all of the regression tests. -

MTProxy
Simple MT-Proto proxy
MTProxy is Telegram’s official MTProto proxy server implementation that enables users to create and run proxy nodes for the Telegram messaging platform, helping people connect securely and reliably when direct access to Telegram is restricted or blocked. It implements the MTProto proxy protocol, which obfuscates encrypted Telegram traffic so it appears indistinguishable from normal HTTPS/TLS flows, making it harder for ISPs or authorities to detect and block Telegram traffic based on signatures. The repository includes C source code, build instructions, and configuration files for compiling and running the proxy on Unix-like systems, with dependencies including OpenSSL and zlib. By launching an MTProxy instance with a secret and configuration file, system administrators can allow clients to connect through custom proxies and generate shareable proxy links for Telegram clients. -

CMake
Cross-platform tool to build, test and package software
CMake is an open-source, cross-platform family of tools designed to build, test and package software. CMake is used to control the software compilation process using simple platform and compiler independent configuration files, and generate native makefiles and workspaces that can be used in the compiler environment of your choice. The suite of CMake tools were created by Kitware in response to the need for a powerful, cross-platform build environment for open-source projects such as ITK and VTK. CMake is part of Kitware’s collection of commercially supported open-source platforms for software development and integrates with CDash to provide a comprehensive suite of tools. CDash is the testing server that aggregates, analyzes, and displays the results of software testing processes submitted from clients located around the world. -

Node-RED
Low-code programming for event-driven applications
Node-RED is a programming tool for wiring together hardware devices, APIs and online services in new and interesting ways. It provides a browser-based editor that makes it easy to wire together flows using the wide range of nodes in the palette that can be deployed to its runtime in a single-click. Node-RED provides a browser-based flow editor that makes it easy to wire together flows using the wide range of nodes in the palette. Flows can be then deployed to the runtime in a single-click. JavaScript functions can be created within the editor using a rich text editor. A built-in library allows you to save useful functions, templates or flows for re-use. The light-weight runtime is built on Node.js, taking full advantage of its event-driven, non-blocking model. This makes it ideal to run at the edge of the network on low-cost hardware such as the Raspberry Pi as well as in the cloud. -

MSBuild
The Microsoft Build Engine (MSBuild) build platform for .NET and VS
The Microsoft Build Engine is a platform for building applications. This engine, which is also known as MSBuild, provides an XML schema for a project file that controls how the build platform processes and builds software. Visual Studio uses MSBuild, but MSBuild doesn't depend on Visual Studio. By invoking msbuild.exe on your project or solution file, you can orchestrate and build products in environments where Visual Studio isn't installed. Visual Studio uses MSBuild to load and build managed projects. The project files in Visual Studio (.csproj, .vbproj, .vcxproj, and others) contain MSBuild XML code that executes when you build a project by using the IDE. Visual Studio projects import all the necessary settings and build processes to do typical development work, but you can extend or modify them from within Visual Studio or by using an XML editor. Starting with Visual Studio 2022, when you build in Visual Studio, the 64-bit version of MSBuild is used. -

Erlang/OTP
Build massively scalable soft real-time systems
Erlang is a programming language used to build massively scalable soft real-time systems with requirements on high availability. Some of its uses are in telecoms, banking, e-commerce, computer telephony and instant messaging. Erlang's runtime system has built-in support for concurrency, distribution and fault tolerance. OTP is set of Erlang libraries and design principles providing middle-ware to develop these systems. It includes its own distributed database, applications to interface towards other languages, debugging and release handling tools. Erlang/OTP is available as pre-built binary packages by most OS package managers. You can use Kerl, a script that lets you easily build Erlang with a few commands. We take security bugs in Erlang/OTP seriously. The Erlang distribution includes a step-by-step getting started guide. -

v2flyNG
A V2Ray client for Android, support v2fly core
v2flyNG is a mobile client that packages the V2Ray/V2Fly networking core into an Android application with a touch-friendly UI. It focuses on making modern protocols—such as VMess, VLESS, and Trojan—accessible without requiring shell access or manual config editing. Profiles can be added via subscription links or QR codes, and the app merges and updates them on schedule to keep node lists fresh. Per-app proxy controls allow you to include or exclude specific applications, which is useful for balancing privacy with bandwidth and latency. The client exposes routing controls, TLS settings, custom DNS, and UDP handling so advanced users can fine-tune behavior. Status panels and logs help diagnose connectivity issues and confirm that rules are being applied as intended. -

Simple DLL Injector
tiny tool to inject DLLs into Windows processes
Simple DLL Injector is a lightweight and easy-to-use Windows tool for injecting custom DLL files into running processes. It uses common Windows API functions like CreateRemoteThread and LoadLibrary to load external code into target applications, enabling debugging, testing, or modification of software behavior. The injector features a clean interface supporting DLL file browsing, process selection by name or ID, and maintains a history of injected DLLs for convenience. Additional options include "always on top" window mode and automatic exit after injection to streamline workflows. This tool is favored by developers and reverse engineers for its simplicity, efficiency, and minimal resource usage in various software development and analysis tasks. -
