DAR is a command-line backup and archiving tool that uses selective compression (not compressing already compressed files), strong encryption, may split an archive in different files of given size and provides on-fly hashing, supports differential backup with or without binary delta, ftp and sftp protocols to remote cloud storage Archive internal's catalog, allows very quick restoration even a single file from a huge, eventually sliced, compressed, encrypted archive eventually located on a remote cloud storage, by only reading/fetching the necessary data to perform the operation. Dar saves *all* UNIX inode types, takes care of hard links, sparse files as well as Extended Attributes (MacOS X file forks, Linux ACL, SELinux tags, user attributes) and some Filesystem Specific Attributes (Linux ext2/3/4, Mac OS X HFS+) more details at: http://dar.linux.free.fr/doc/Features.html

Advanced Onion Router is a portable client for the OR network and is intended to be an improved alternative for Tor+Vidalia+Privoxy bundle for Windows users. Some of the improvements include UNICODE paths, support for HTTP and HTTPS proxy protocols on the same Socks4/Socks5 port with HTTP header filtering that generates fake identity-dependent headers every time the identity is changed (proxy chains are also supported), support for NTLM proxies, a User Interface that makes Tor's options and actions more accessible, local banlist for forbidden addresses, private identity isolation, a point-and-click process interceptor that can redirect connections from programs that don't support proxies, also giving them fake information about the local system and support for .onion addresses. Also, it can estimate AS paths for all circuits and prevent AS path intersections, it can restrict circuits to be built using only nodes from different countries, can change circuit lengths and more.

Hide In Picture is a program that allows you to conceal files inside bitmap pictures, using a password. The pictures look like normal images, so people will not suspect there is hidden data in them.

EverCrack cryptanalysis engine. The goal is cryptanalysis of any class of cipher. The focus now is the kernel - cryptanalysis of unilateral monalpha substitution ciphers extremely quickly, and later, cryptanalysis of complex ciphers for the kernel.

A pronounceable password generator plugin for KeePass. NOTE: This project has been discontinued. It hasn't been worth it to maintain the project for a while now, so no more updates will be made to the plugin. The algorithm this plugin uses is based off FIPS-181 which was withdrawn by NIST a while back. The proliferation of password managers that seamlessly run on multiple platforms (some of which are free) has also removed almost all advantages of using randomly generated pronounceable passwords. If you have a use case for this plugin, reconsider it. If you still think using randomly generated pronounceable passwords are worth it for your use case, reconsider it some more.

PGP, short for Pretty Good Privacy, is a public key encryption package; with it, you can secure messages you transmit against unauthorized reading and digitally sign them so that people receiving them can be sure they come from you.

The goal of Operation Project X is to crack the 2048-bit RSA private encryption key Microsoft uses to sign Xbox media, by using distributed computing. This key could be used by Xbox owners to run homebrew code on their machines.

This script is capable of cracking multiple hashes from a CSV-file like e.g. dumps from sqlmap. Over 17.000 md5-hashes in a CSV-file get cracked with a 14.300.000 lines wordlist in less then 1 min. Lines wich cant get cracked with the wordlist get stored in a .leftToCrack-File to further process with another Wordlist or the bruteforce-tool. In addition to the wordlist-cracker I created also a bruteforce-tool named CSVHashBrutforcer.

Naeon secures data in untrusted off-site storage through a layered approach: files are compressed, then AES-256 encrypted with a randomly generated 128-character passphrase yielding approximately 762 bits of entropy — far beyond the reach of both classical and quantum brute-force attacks. The ciphertext is obfuscated by prepending and appending random byte blocks, making the result unidentifiable as an encrypted file. The payload is then sharded into one private chunk — holding the encryption key and part of the data — and multiple equal-sized public chunks, each renamed to its SHA-512 hash and given a uniform timestamp to prevent metadata inference. A private filename conversion table preserves the concatenation order needed for restoration. Together these measures guarantee confidentiality, integrity, and availability regardless of storage provider trustworthiness. Threshold Key Sharing extends this further by splitting the private key, eliminating the single point of failure.

SSHDOS is a DOS port of SSH, SCP, SFTP and Telnet clients. Needs a packet driver (or a PPP driver for dialup connection) only. There are two separate packages for SSH1 and for SSH2.
