ESP8266 Deauther Version 2
Affordable WiFi hacking platform for testing and learning
Scan for WiFi devices, block selected connections, create dozens of networks and confuse WiFi scanners! Version 3 is in development. It is stable to use, but it is very different. It is command-line based, which allows it to offer not just more features, but make them more customizable. This software allows you to easily perform a variety of actions to test 802.11 wireless networks by using an inexpensive ESP8266 WiFi SoC (System On A Chip). The main feature, the deauthentication attack, is used to disconnect devices from their WiFi network. No one seems to care about this huge vulnerability in the official 802.11 WiFi standard, so I took action and enabled everyone who has less than 10 USD to spare to recreate this project. I hope it raises more attention on the issue. In 2009 the WiFi Alliance actually fixed the problem (see 802.11w), but only a few companies implemented it into their devices and software. -

Dependencies
A rewrite of the old legacy software "depends.exe" in C# for Windows
Dependencies is a rewrite of the legacy software Dependency Walker which was shipped along Windows SDKs, but whose development stopped around 2006. Dependencies can help Windows developers troubleshooting their dll load dependencies issues. Dependencies is currently shipped as two binaries (no installer present) : Dependencies.exe as a CLI tool and DependenciesGui.exe for its GUI counterpart (see screenshot). Just click on one of the release numbers above (preferably the latest), download and uncompress the archive and run DependenciesGui.exe. Since the binary is not signed, SmartScreen might scream at runtime. Dependencies also bundle ClrPhTester.exe, a dumpbin-like executable used to test for non-regressions. Dependencies currently does not recursively resolve child imports when parsing a new PE since it can be really memory-hungry to do so ( it can over a GB even for "simple" PEs ). -

Open Source Software Testing Tools Guide
Open source software testing tools are a great way to test the code of an application without having to pay for proprietary releases. Open source software testing programs provide an open platform with access to powerful tools and libraries that can be used for automated functional, performance, security, accessibility and compatibility tests. These tools can be used for both manual and automated tests which makes them well suited for performing comprehensive testing.
Open source software is free to use or modify as desired. This means that it comes with no cost of licensing associated with it. There are different types of open source software testing tools available in the market such as static analysis tool, GUI automation tool, unit test framework, integrated development environment (IDE), web services tester and others. With these tools user can execute regression tests quickly and experiment easily with new changes in the code base without worrying about their budget constraints.
Static Analysis Tool is designed to detect bugs before they cause problems with the system or program during runtime. By using this kind of tool someone can analyze any type of programming code; be it HTML, CSS, JavaScript or any other language; and identify syntax mistakes or errors before they occur while running a program on computer systems or networks. GUI Automation Tools is used to automate graphical interfaces like web browsers or desktop applications so that the users don’t have to manually click each time when running a task. Unit Test Framework allows developers to write unit tests for dynamic languages such as PHP and Ruby where executing functional tests requires complex setup frameworks like Selenium Web Driver or JUnit in Java programming language .IDEs are widely used by professional developers because they help streamlining all stages from coding through debugging up until release deployment. Web Services Tester allow user to perform “integration” of components by sending requests over network protocols like HTTP/S, FTP etc., receiving back responses which then evaluated by testers in order determine if expected behavior was achieved correctly under certain conditions defined at design stage earlier.
In summary, open source software testing tools provide powerful capabilities such as static analysis, GUI automation, unit test framework, IDE's and web services tester which make them indispensable part of applications development life cycles allowing testers save significant amount money while still ensuring high quality releases being delivered into production environments on timely manner.
