[2014-10-31] This project is obsolete, for latest version (6.1.3) see GitHub https://github.com/digital-preservation/droid (source) and http://www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/information-management/manage-information/preserving-digital-records/droid/ (binary)
DROID (Digital Record Object Identification) is an automatic file format identification tool. It is the first in a planned series of tools developed by The National Archives under the umbrella of its PRONOM technical registry service.
[2013-01-24] The binary download of the latest version of DROID has now been moved to The National Archives website: http://www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/information-management/projects-and-work/droid.htm
The source code for the latest version of DROID remains available via Github: http://digital-preservation.github.com/droid/
[2012-09-07] DROID 6.1 has been released. ...
Cozy is a backup solution for Linux. It aims to be similar to Apple's Time Machine, with the difference that Cozy recognizes duplicate files and incremental backups are realized through binary diffs to save space.
Defuddle is a data translation engine that supports mapping arbitrary ASCII and binaryfile formats to a data model defined in XML Schema in a manner similar to, but not compliant with the Data Format Description Language (http://www.ogf.org/dfdl/).
Command-line tool to check ADFs (Amiga Disk Files) for errors and viruses.
A binary is included for Windows users; Linux users are advised to compile the application themselves.
Might also compile under plain DOS; but BE WARNED! When you scan files already renamed by the TOSEC standard, consider that file names may become insanely long in no time.
--UPDATE OCTOBER 2014--
This project is currently suspended!
mylvmdump uses LVM snapshots to create MySQL database backups in scenarios where both a high database availability as well as textual dumps (instead of binaryfile copies) are required.
Tool for reading bad media.
Tool reads files, and can read before and after a bad place, so is possible to skip bad place itself.
It is not only for CD, but for any files.
Windows only; Linux have "dd_rescue", although not with GUI.
GUI is on MFC.
A command line utility to read a text file containing lines of data, clean up any CR/LF anomalies, and output the lines of text with clean CR/LF terminators to standard output. The binary is a Windows 32 bit console app.
A shell command (binary executable) allowing the manipulation of the extended attributes of a file. Extended attributes allow the arbitrary association of name:data (i.e., key-value) pairs with file system objects.
This is a fast binary compression/decompression method based on byte translation through a numerical order sequence that demonstrates the speed and efficiency of binary compression. (http://www.jasenko.com.mk)
Compares 2 binary files for minor differences/copy errors
FCB compares two files byte-by-byte. Files may be regular files or any kind of devices, pipes, etc. and one can be stdin. You can specify an offset if one file has a header.
Usage: fcb <File1> <File2> [-h0,1] [-p0,1] [-v0,1,2,3] [-b0,1] [-q0,1]...
Fast and efficient proprietary bit reordering compression. Usefull for compressing binary-text files. Uses binary vectors reordering and dynamic data dictionary. (http://www.jasenko.com.mk)
Simple command-line file splitter. Split a (binary) file into a given number of slices, or slices of a given size. Output files are automatically numbered, and can be concatenated ("copy", "cat") to recover the original file. Large files supported.
This is intended to be a program for Linux, Mac OS X and Windows using the QT API, to manage and transfer from the computer to the PSP homebrew binary files, savegame backups, video and audio files.
Package for coding and decoding files with Matheos algorithm from commandline or console in Linux/Unix Environment. Based on Keys stored in files or as hardware locks (on devices). Fast and strong coding. Fast encoding.ONLY BINARY PACKAGES FOR NOW!
This project offers 3 basic tools for manipulating binary files: 1) flexible hexdump 2) hexencoder that reads a binaryfile and applies provided binary changes at given offsets and 3) a binary compare that gives summary of ranges where files differ
QReader - The High Quality Book Reader for Smart Mobiles. Symbian OS - different phones, different supported file types, designed to be most useful book reader for PDA/cellular.
rpmdiff is a utility to create a binary patch from one version of an rpm to another. This binary patch can then be distributed to end-users of a distribution who have installed the first version of the rpm and they will be upgraded to the second version.
ebsdiff creates a binary patch file using the bsdiff format. The enhancements to bsdiff are that it stores an MD5 hash of the original file (preventing accidental patching of the wrong file) and can limit the memory it uses while creating the patch file.
Binary XML is java library.
Major feature of library is document encoder/decoder which
helps to store DOM model in binary format and retrive DOM
model back. Encoded file size extremely small (in about 10
times relatively to original) .
DEPRECATED - This is now hosted at https://github.com/Yeraze/ytnef
ytnef is a program to work with procmail to decode TNEF streams (winmail.dat attachments) like those created with Outlook. Unlike other similar programs, it can also create vCalendar/vCard entries from meeting requests, address cards, and task entries.
Numerically estimate an efficiency of code construction algorithms. Randomly generate n binary words of length m with minimum Hamming distance d and create a prefix code (= retrieval tree) from them. Based on PhD work.
Mac binary format converter. Supported binary formats include: native, datafork+resourcefork file, applesingle, macbinary, services for macintosh, etc.
ctsplit is a program designed to split a large binaryfile into smaller byte sized pieces. Included with this project will be source code, linux binaries, windows binaries, User interface (using QT), and documentation.
Languages: C++ and QT
