OpenWrt
A Linux operating system targeting embedded devices
OpenWrt Project is a Linux operating system targeting embedded devices. Instead of trying to create a single, static firmware, OpenWrt provides a fully writable filesystem with package management. This frees you from the application selection and configuration provided by the vendor and allows you to customize the device through the use of packages to suit any application. For developers, OpenWrt is the framework to build an application without having to build a complete firmware around it; for users this means the ability for full customization, to use the device in ways never envisioned. -

FancySS
fancyss is a project for bypassing the Great Firewall (GFW)
Fancyss is a “scientific Internet access / bypassing censorship” toolkit targeted principally to Asus routers running AsusWRT or Merlin-based firmware. The project provides a plugin suite (with “software center” integration) so that home routers can run proxy or tunneling tools (e.g. V2Ray) to circumvent firewall or censorship (“GFW” in the Chinese context). Because it integrates into the router’s firmware environment, fancyss automates configuration, routing, and firewall rules to minimize manual tinkering. It supports multiple architectures and firmware versions, though some submodules or variants (e.g. “fancyss_hnd”) are optimized for specific chipsets. The project also maintains offline packages for constrained environments and hardware support lists. Many users adopt fancyss to turn relatively cheap consumer routers into censorship-resilient gateways, avoiding separate proxy appliances. -

AngularUI Router
The solution to flexible routing with nested views in AngulaJS
UI-Router provides state based routing. Each feature of an application is defined as a state. One state is active at any time, and UI-Router manages the transitions between the states. Each state describes the URL, the UI (a view or views), data prerequisites, and other logical prerequisites (such as authentication) for a feature. Before activating a state, UI-Router first fetches any prerequisites (asynchronously), and then activates the view(s) and updates the URL. UI-Router states are hierarchical; states can be nested inside other states, forming a tree. Child states may inherit data and behavior (such as authentication) from their parent states. A client-side router updates the browser URL as the user nagivates through the single page app. Conversely, changes to the browser’s URL can drive navigation of the app, enabling a user to create deep-links (i.e., bookmarks) to areas deep within the application. -

Routing Component
Maps an HTTP request to a set of configuration variables
When your application receives a request, it calls a controller action to generate the response. The routing configuration defines which action to run for each incoming URL. It also provides other useful features, like generating SEO-friendly URLs (e.g. /read/intro-to-symfony instead of index.php?article_id=57). Routes can be configured in YAML, XML, PHP or using either attributes or annotations. All formats provide the same features and performance, so choose your favorite. Symfony recommends attributes because it’s convenient to put the route and controller in the same place. On PHP 8, you can use native attributes to configure routes right away. On PHP 7, where attributes are not available, you can use annotations instead, provided by the Doctrine Annotations library. This configuration tells Symfony to look for routes defined as annotations in any PHP class stored in the src/Controller/ directory. -

FlowViewer
FlowViewer is a web-based netflow data analysis tool.
FlowViewer provides a convenient web-based user interface to Mark Fullmer’s flow-tools suite and CMU's netflow data capture/analyzer, SiLK. The inclusion of the underlying SiLK tool set enables FlowViewer users to continue to use the tool with the newer IPFIX netflow data protocol, which includes support for IPv6 and Cisco's v9 and FNF netflow. FlowViewer has been developed for NASA’s Earth Sciences Data and Information System (ESDIS) networks, and credit goes to NASA for their usual outstanding support of innovation. The FlowViewer tools provide additional graphing and tracking features by utilizing open source software including Thomas Boutrell’s gd, Lincoln Stein's GD, Martien Verbruggen's GD::Graph, and Tobias Oetiker’s RRDtool. FlowViewer v4.6 fixes non-UTC local time environments for FlowViewer and FlowGrapher, and $no_devices_or_exporters FlowMonitor_Collector problem. **Note: SiLK must be v3.8.0 or later. Version 3.9 handles sFlow data. -

KeexyBox
The box to keep the Internet under your control
KeexyBox allows you to do parental control, block ads, limit telemetry, and browse the Internet anonymously from your home network without installing any software on your devices. It also can be used to create a public wireless access point with the captive portal. It is a software program which requires a Raspberry PI box and which is installed on Raspbian. It constitutes a cut-off point between your devices (computers, tablets, smartphones, etc.) and your router or Internet box. KeexyBox acts as a default gateway and DNS server for the devices in your home network. It thus intercepts all connections to the Internet to carry out website filtering or to activate browsing via the Tor anonymity network according to connection profiles which you have configured. -

pyforward
Turn your linux machine into an infrastructure wifi router.
pyforward is a GTK+ front-end to three core linux technologies that make it possible to turn your computer into a wifi access point in infrastructure mode: 1. iptables - To enable routing of your requests. 2. dnsmasq - To assign ip-addresses using dhcp. 3. hostapd - To enable wifi access to your machine in infrastructure mode. Refer the wiki page for more information on how to run pyforward. Note: Presently I'm in "development" mode. So, I urge the users of pyforward to make any feature-requests on the Discussion page or report any bugs.
