systemd
The systemd system and service manager
systemd is a suite of basic building blocks for a Linux system. It provides a system and service manager that runs as PID 1 and starts the rest of the system. systemd provides aggressive parallelization capabilities, uses socket and D-Bus activation for starting services, offers on-demand starting of daemons, keeps track of processes using Linux control groups, maintains mount and automount points, and implements an elaborate transactional dependency-based service control logic. systemd supports SysV and LSB init scripts and works as a replacement for sysvinit. Other parts include a logging daemon, utilities to control basic system configuration like the hostname, date, locale, maintain a list of logged-in users and running containers and virtual machines, system accounts, runtime directories and settings, and daemons to manage simple network configuration, network time synchronization, log forwarding, and name resolution. -

playqt
GUI version of ffplay for Windows
playqt is a Windows GUI version of the well known ffplay program and has been enhanced with Object Detection capabilities. It can process multiple types of media including real time streams. An integrated camera control feature allows control over the camera parameters as well as automatic network configuration and connection. See the README under the files tab for configuration info. Real time object counting is implemented using YOLO detection algorithm. The program can be used with standard or customized models. A reduced version of the COCO dataset for most commonly observed types is available here. The program is based on ffplay and will respond to the familiar options if launched from the command line. This allows the program to be used with other command line tools such as youtube-dl. The source code is open and available here. It may be compiled using the contrib library provided along with Qt6, MSVC 2019 and NVIDIA cuda development library. -

Astrape
Optical-packet node transceiver frequency allocation
In an optical network scenario which consists of multiple nodes (whiteboxes) at its edges and ROADMs in-between, the coherent transceiver average laser configuration time is improved. The process is evaluated according to a testbed setup. This is facilitated in the appropriate lab equipment (or via simulation when required). For that purpose, a software agent (Netconf server) residing at the whiteboxes, is developed receiving input from the Software-Defined Networking (SDN) packet controller (PacketCTL - a Netconf client). Then, configuration of the local transceiver laser frequencies of the controlled pluggable devices takes place, for facilitating the connectivity in-between the ROADM network. Also, the agent records and reports back telemetry data (feedback) which is used by the PacketCTL's resource-allocating mechanism to improve efficiency within the network topology. -

ecang
Ethercat analyzer. Pcapng (by wireshark) to cvs files converter.
To diagnose a problem or simply to study the internal flow of information in an ethercat fieldbus, one of the common practices is to capture the flow of ethercat datagrams with an ethernet sniffer such as Wireshark (www.wireshark.org). Wireshark provides some filters to facilitate data analysis but the high amount of recorded information still makes an analysis complicated for many people who do not have a very deep knowledge of the ethercat protocol and Wireshark tools. Ecang can help these people! Ecang extracts the list of the slaves managed and the PDOs exchanged in an ethercat network directly from the network configuration file (ENI file) .xml, thanks to this data it can read numerous information from the file generated by the sniffer (.pcapng) and transfers them to a comma-separated values file (.csv) already applying a first level of validation. -

CloudPower
A tool for organising, visualising and executing Web resources.
CloudPower is a Java application that offers functionality similar to that found in operating systems, for the World Wide Web. References to Web resources, whether they be static or dynamic can be arranged into sets. These sets can themselves contain other sets, allowing for resources to be arranged like files on an operating system. These sets can be saved and retrieved, allowing users to organise their cloud resources. Two graph visualisations (hierarchy and energy) let users quickly navigate the structure of references between resource sets. The energy visualisation is particularly good at showing this structure in a compact manner when the links represent information arranged as an arbitrarily directed graph rather than a tree. CloudPower also demonstrates how remote desktop applications can be displayed locally using X Windows, for any operating system and network configuration. A Java 5.0 (or greater) JRE is required to run the application. -

FlippingBitbot
Vulnerable VM featuring Bitbot
This is a Linux based VM that is intended as a way to get security researchers started with simple botnet research. It also requires the researcher have some ability to assess and exploit vulnerabilities, with the ultimate goal of obtaining root access to the VM. This is the second of many to come, please feel free to supply feedback so I can make future ones more enjoyable and fulfilling. The network configuration of the VM is set to auto, so it is easiest to run with some sort of DHCP server on the same network(or just select the NAT option in your virtualization software). It is suggested that you use the NAT option along with port forwarding, but as long as you have TCP access to the VM, you should be fine. There are no supplied credentials, and it is intended that the network services on the VM are the attack vectors. If you have questions, feel free to ask in #vulnhub on freenode(I'm bwall on there). You can also ask me on Twitter(@botnet_hunter). -

Now the project is just a ppp-manager, as NetworkManager takes care about wired and wireless, but not about PPPoE, PPTP, GPRS including bluetooth. I hope someday the project will die when NM will take care about all this stuff.
