Zipkin
Distributed tracing system to gather timing data
Zipkin is a distributed tracing system. It helps gather timing data needed to troubleshoot latency problems in service architectures. Features include both the collection and lookup of this data. If you have a trace ID in a log file, you can jump directly to it. Otherwise, you can query based on attributes such as service, operation name, tags and duration. Some interesting data will be summarized for you, such as the percentage of time spent in a service, and whether or not operations failed. The Zipkin UI also presents a Dependency diagram showing how many traced requests went through each application. This can be helpful for identifying aggregate behavior including error paths or calls to deprecated services. Applications need to be “instrumented” to report trace data to Zipkin. -

pe_to_shellcode
Converts PE into a shellcode
pe_to_shellcode is a research-oriented tool that converts a Windows Portable Executable into a form that can be loaded from memory like shellcode. The resulting file remains a valid PE while also being modified so execution can begin from the start of the buffer. The project supports both 32-bit and 64-bit PE files. Its goal is to add a reflective loading stub after compilation, instead of requiring the developer to build the PE with reflective loading already integrated. This makes it useful for controlled security research, malware analysis labs, and educational work on PE loading behavior. Because the technique is closely related to in-memory execution, it should be handled only in authorized environments. -

Tiny Garbage Collector
A Tiny Garbage Collector for C
Tiny Garbage Collector for C is implemented in roughly 500 lines of code. It uses a conservative, thread-local mark-and-sweep strategy to reclaim unreachable allocations automatically. Memory allocated through its API can still be manually released when deterministic cleanup is required. Developers can register destructors that run immediately before managed objects are freed. Garbage collection normally runs after allocation thresholds are reached, but it can also be triggered, paused, or resumed manually. Special root allocations can be preserved even when they are not reachable through the usual stack or managed-memory rules. Its small codebase makes tgc useful for embedded experiments, language runtimes, and learning how garbage collectors work. -

Outline Server
Outline Manager, developed by Jigsaw
Access to the free and open Internet. Outline makes it easy to create a VPN server, giving anyone access to the free and open Internet. Outline allows anyone to access the free and open Internet more securely by running their own VPN. Running your own VPN server with Outline increases the security of Internet access and makes the connection harder to block. VPNs are useful to protect the privacy of your communications and allow you to keep access to the Internet open. However, with most VPN providers, you don't always know who controls the VPN and who has access to your data. Creating your own VPN server used to be a complicated process…until now. Outline allows anyone to create their own VPN, run it, and share access to it. Outline is designed to offer block resistance. It allows you to control your server settings, including its location. Furthermore, Outline is a 100% open-source project that uses transparent technology and has undergone audits by two security companies. -

PyGlossary
A tool for converting dictionary files aka glossaries
A tool for converting dictionary files aka glossaries. The primary purpose is to be able to use our offline glossaries in any Open Source dictionary we like on any OS/device. There are countless formats, and my time is limited, so I implement formats that seem more useful for myself, or for Open Source community. Also diversity of languages is taken into account. Pull requests are welcome. -

AI File Sorter
Local AI file organization with categorization and rename suggestions
AI File Sorter is a cross-platform desktop application that uses AI (local LLMs run on your computer) to organize files and suggest meaningful file names based on real content, not just filenames or extensions. The app can analyze images locally and propose descriptive rename suggestions (for example, IMG_2048.jpg → clouds_over_lake.jpg). It can also analyze document text to improve categorization and renaming. Supported formats include PDF, DOCX, XLSX, PPTX, ODT, ODS, ODP, and common text files. For supported audio and video files, AI File Sorter can read embedded metadata (such as ID3, Vorbis, and MP4 tags) to suggest normalized names like year_artist_album_title.ext. AI analysis runs read-only, and all suggestions must be reviewed before being applied. AI File Sorter can run fully offline using local models like Mistral or LLaMA, so files and metadata stay on your device unless you configure a remote endpoint. -
