libwdi
Windows Driver Installer library for USB devices
libwdi is a cross-platform open-source C library focused on simplifying the installation of device drivers for USB hardware that otherwise does not have automatic driver support, making it especially useful for developers building installers or system management tools. The library abstracts away many of the complexities of USB device enumeration and driver deployment on Windows systems, such as creating a list of devices, preparing appropriate driver files, and invoking the operating system’s driver installation mechanics, so your software doesn’t have to re-implement these low-level tasks. It provides a clean API that includes functions to detect driverless USB devices, prepare driver packages, install drivers programmatically, and handle logging and error codes reliably. Projects integrate this library into custom installers, automated provisioning scripts, or hardware management solutions where users need seamless driver setup without manual steps. -

BWAPI
An API for interacting with Starcraft: Brood War (1.16.1)
Brood War Application Programming Interface or BWAPI is a free and open source C++ framework that is used to create Artificial Intelligence (AI) agents that play the popular Real Time Strategy (RTS) game Starcraft: Brood War. With BWAPI, players of varying levels can create AI agents to play Brood War, but with certain limits. BWAPI will only reveal visible parts of the game state to AI modules to enable programmers to write competitive non-cheating AIs. BWAPI also denies user input so users cannot take control of game units while the AI is in play. These default settings can be changed for flexibility however, unless enforced by a Tournament Module (game referee for AI tournaments). -

FernFlower
Decompiler from Java bytecode to Java, used in IntelliJ IDEA
Fernflower is an open-source Java decompiler originally developed by JetBrains that takes compiled Java bytecode and reconstructs readable source code, helping developers understand, debug, and recover lost Java code from .class files. It works by analyzing the structure of bytecode and inferring higher-level constructs like loops, conditionals, generics, and exception handling to produce Java source that is as close as possible to what a human would have written, making it useful for both reverse engineering and educational purposes. Fernflower is integrated into popular Java IDEs and tools where decompilation is needed, and its robust analysis handles a wide range of language features introduced across multiple Java versions. Because it outputs clean, structured, and often compilable code, developers use it for auditing binaries, exploring third-party libraries without source, and recovering parts of legacy systems where source was lost or unavailable. -

Tailwind CSS
A utility-first CSS framework for rapid UI development
Rapidly build modern websites without ever leaving your HTML. A utility-first CSS framework packed with classes like flex, pt-4, text-center and rotate-90 that can be composed to build any design, directly in your markup. Utility classes help you work within the constraints of a system instead of littering your stylesheets with arbitrary values. They make it easy to be consistent with color choices, spacing, typography, shadows, and everything else that makes up a well-engineered design system. Because Tailwind is so low-level, it never encourages you to design the same site twice. Even with the same color palette and sizing scale, it's easy to build the same component with a completely different look in the next project. Tailwind automatically removes all unused CSS when building for production, which means your final CSS bundle is the smallest it could possibly be. In fact, most Tailwind projects ship less than 10kB of CSS to the client. -

ohmyposh.dev
A prompt theme engine for any shell
Oh My Posh enables you to use the full-color set of your terminal by using colors to define and render the prompt. Easily adjust existing themes or create your own. From standard segments all the way to custom implementations. No matter which shell you're using, or even how many, you can carry the configuration from one shell and/or machine to another for the same prompt everywhere you work. What started as the offspring of oh-my-posh2 for PowerShell resulted in a cross platform, highly customizable and extensible prompt theme engine. After 4 years of working on oh-my-posh, a modern and more efficient tool was needed to suit my personal needs. When you look at prompts like Agnoster or Paradox, you notice they usually consist of a few building blocks which contain one or more segments that display some sort of information. The configuration of Oh My Posh works exactly like that. Blocks are a combination of one or more segments. -

GeoIP
This project automatically generates GeoIP files in multiple formats
GeoIP is a community-maintained project that generates and publishes enhanced GeoIP/Geo-database and IP-location/routing data in multiple formats (e.g. V2Ray .dat, MaxMind .mmdb, and others) to support proxy, VPN, or routing tools requiring IP-to-country/region resolution. Rather than depending solely on the official GeoLite2 data, geoip augments and merges data sources (especially for certain regions) to improve coverage or tailor by use-case (e.g. proxy-specific rules, private networks, or region-based classification). The repo provides automated, periodic releases (e.g. weekly or on schedule) and also offers a CLI tool so users can regenerate or customize geo data in the format they need — for example, producing a .dat file for V2Ray / Xray-core, or a MaxMind-compatible .mmdb. -

GoodbyeDPI
Deep Packet Inspection circumvention utility
This software designed to bypass Deep Packet Inspection systems found in many Internet Service Providers which block access to certain websites. It handles DPI connected using optical splitter or port mirroring (Passive DPI) which do not block any data but just replying faster than requested destination, and Active DPI connected in sequence. These scripts launch GoodbyeDPI in recommended mode with DNS resolver redirection to Yandex DNS on non-standard port (to prevent DNS poisoning). To check if your ISP's DPI could be circumvented, first make sure that your provider does not poison DNS answers by enabling "Secure DNS (DNS over HTTPS)" option in your browser. Most Passive DPI send HTTP 302 Redirect if you try to access blocked website over HTTP and TCP Reset in case of HTTPS, faster than destination website. Packets sent by DPI usually have IP Identification field equal to 0x0000 or 0x0001, as seen with Russian providers.
