    omegalib

    omegalib

    Hybrid visualization framework for desktops, large immersive displays

    A hybrid visualization framework for desktops, large immersive displays and the web. A framework for virtual reality and cluster-driven display systems. Requires Python (the pre-installed 2.7 version on OSX and most linux distros works fine, on Windows omegalib comes with python bundled so you don't need this). C++ Build tools for your platform (g++, clang/XCode, Visual Studio 2012/2013 depending on the OS). On windows, the free Visual Studio editions work fine. Modules are optional components that extend omegalib functionality. Enabled modules are automatically downloaded and compiled. A full list of modules can be found in the Omegalib hub. On most platforms, omegalib is distributed as a source-only project. Users are responsible for creating binaries for their operating system and architecture. The build process is kept as simple as possible and should require very little configuration effort by the user. Omegalib can build out-of-the-box and has no external dependencies.

    BCC (BPF Compiler Collection)

    BCC (BPF Compiler Collection)

    Tools for BPF-based Linux IO analysis, networking, monitoring, etc.

    BCC is a toolkit that simplifies creating efficient kernel tracing, monitoring, and manipulation programs by leveraging extended Berkeley Packet Filters (eBPF). It includes a rich set of example tools and scripting interfaces in C, Python, and Lua. BCC makes BPF programs easier to write, with kernel instrumentation in C (and includes a C wrapper around LLVM), and front-ends in Python and lua. It is suited for many tasks, including performance analysis and network traffic control. With a BPF-specific frontend, one should be able to write in a language and receive feedback from the compiler on the validity as it pertains to a BPF backend. This toolkit aims to provide a frontend that can only create valid BPF programs while still harnessing its full flexibility.

    UACMe

    UACMe

    Defeating Windows user account control

    Run executable from command line, akagi32 [Key] [Param] or akagi64 [Key] [Param]. First parameter is a number of methods to use, second is an optional command (executable file name including full path) to run. The second parameter can be empty - in this case, the program will execute elevated cmd.exe from the system32 folder. Since 3.5.0 version all "fixed" methods are considered obsolete and removed altogether with all supporting code/units. If you still need them. This tool shows ONLY popular UAC bypass method used by malware, and re-implement some of them in a different way improving original concepts. There are different, not yet known to the general public, methods. This tool is not intended for AV tests and not tested to work in aggressive AV environment, if you still plan to use it with installed bloatware AV soft, use it at your own risk.
