Harmony
Patching, replacing and decorating .NET and Mono methods
Harmony gives you an elegant and high-level way to alter the functionality in applications written in C#.

If you develop in C# and your code is loaded as a module/plugin into a host application, you can use Harmony to alter the functionality of all the available assemblies of that application. Where other patch libraries simply allow you to replace the original method, Harmony goes one step further. It is also used in unit testing WPF controls and in many other areas. Installation is done by using 0Harmony.dll in your project or by using the Lib.Harmony nuget package. -

ArchiSteamFarm
C# application with primary purpose of farming Steam cards
ASF is a C# application with the primary purpose of farming Steam cards from multiple accounts simultaneously. Unlike Idle Master which works only for one account at a given time, while requiring Steam client running in the background and launching additional processes imitating "game-playing" status, ASF doesn't require any Steam client running in the background, doesn't launch any additional processes and is made to handle unlimited Steam accounts at once. In addition to that, it's meant to be run on servers or other desktop-less machines and features full cross-OS support, which makes it possible to launch on any operating system with .NET Core runtime, such as Windows, Linux, and macOS. ASF is possible thanks to the gigantic amount of work done in the marvelous SteamKit2 library. Today, ASF is one of the most versatile Steam power tools, allowing you to make use of many features that were implemented over time. -

bore
bore is a simple CLI tool for making tunnels to localhost
A modern, simple TCP tunnel in Rust that exposes local ports to a remote server, bypassing standard NAT connection firewalls. That's all it does, no more and no less. This will expose your local port at localhost:8000 to the public internet at bore.pub:<PORT>, where the port number is assigned randomly. Similar to localtunnel and ngrok, except bore is intended to be a highly efficient, unopinionated tool for forwarding TCP traffic that is simple to install and easy to self-host, with no frills attached. (bore totals less than 400 lines of safe, async Rust code and is trivial to set up — just run a single binary for the client and server.) The easiest way to install bore is from prebuilt binaries. These are available on the releases page for macOS, Windows, and Linux. Just unzip the appropriate file for your platform and move the bore executable into a folder on your PATH. You also can build bore from source using Cargo, the Rust package manager.
