Most often deployed by system integrators and developers, Asterisk can become the basis for a complete business phone system, or used to enhance or extend an existing system, or to bridge a gap between systems. Build your own custom system with Asterisk? Buy a powerful, low-cost turnkey system based on Asterisk? Discover which option is right for you.

pkgsrc is a framework for managing third-party software on UNIX-like systems, currently containing over 17,900 packages. It is the default package manager of NetBSD and SmartOS and can be used to enable freely available software to be built easily on a large number of other UNIX-like platforms. The binary packages that are produced by pkgsrc can be used without having to compile anything from the source. It can be easily used to complement the software on an existing system. pkgsrc is very versatile and configurable, supporting building packages for an arbitrary installation prefix, allowing multiple branches to coexist on one machine, a build options framework, and a compiler transformation framework, among other advanced features. Unprivileged use and installation are also supported. NetBSD already contains the necessary tools for using pkgsrc; on other platforms, you need to bootstrap pkgsrc to get the package management tools installed.

Rudix is a build system target on macOS (formerly known as Mac OS X) with minor support to OpenBSD, FreeBSD, NetBSD, and Linux. The build system (also called "ports") provides step-by-step instructions for building third-party software, entirely from source code. Rudix provides more than a pure ports framework, it comes with packages, and precompiled software bundled up in a nice format (files *.pkg) for easy installation on your Mac. If you want to collaborate on the project, visit us at GitHub/rudix-mac or at our mirror at GitLab/rudix. Use the GitHub issue tracker to submit bugs or request features. Similar projects or alternatives to Rudix are Fink, MacPorts, pkgsrc, and Homebrew. Packages are compiled and tested on macOS Big Sur (Version 11, Intel only!), Catalina (Version 10.15) and OS X El Capitan (Version 10.11). Every package is self-contained and has everything it needs to work. The binaries, libraries, and documentation will be installed under /usr/local/.

Pygame is a set of Python modules designed for writing video games. Pygame adds functionality on top of the excellent SDL library. This allows you to create fully featured games and multimedia programs in the python language. Pygame is highly portable and runs on nearly every platform and operating system. Pygame is free. Released under the LGPL license, you can create open-source, freeware, shareware, and commercial games with it. With dual-core CPUs common, and 8-core CPUs cheaply available on desktop systems, making use of multi-core CPUs allows you to do more in your game. Selected pygame functions release the dreaded python GIL, which is something you can do from C code. Uses optimized C and assembly code for core functions. C code is often 10-20 times faster than python code, and assembly code can easily be 100x or more times faster than python code. Comes with many operating systems. Just an apt-get, emerge, pkg_add, or just install away.

Dropbear is a relatively small SSH server and client. It runs on a variety of Unix platforms. Dropbear is open-source software, distributed under an MIT-style license. Dropbear is particularly useful for "embedded"-type Linux (or other Unix) systems, such as wireless routers. If you want to be notified of new releases, or for general discussion of Dropbear, you can subscribe to the relatively low-volume mailing list. With a small memory footprint suitable for memory-constrained environments, Dropbear can compile to a 110kB statically linked binary with uClibc on x86 (only minimal options selected) Dropbear server implements X11 forwarding and authentication-agent forwarding for OpenSSH clients. The server, client, keygen, and key converter can be compiled into a single binary (like busybox) Features can easily be disabled when compiling to save space. The multi-hop mode uses SSH TCP forwarding to tunnel through multiple SSH hosts in a single command.

An easy and fun way to work with remote servers over SSH. Muon is a graphical SSH client. It has an enhanced SFTP file browser, SSH terminal emulator, remote resource/process manager, server disk space analyzer, remote text editor, huge remote log viewer, and lots of other helpful tools, which makes it easy to work with remote servers. Muon provides functionality similar to web-based control panels but, it works over SSH from the local computer, hence no installation is required on the server. It runs on Linux and Windows. Muon has been tested with several Linux and UNIX servers, like Ubuntu server, CentOS, RHEL, OpenSUSE, FreeBSD, OpenBSD, NetBSD, and HP-UX. The application is targeted mainly toward web/backend developers who often deploy/debug their code on remote servers and are not overly fond of complex terminal-based commands. It could also be useful for sysadmins as well who manage lots of remote servers manually.

American fuzzy lop is a security-oriented fuzzer that employs a novel type of compile-time instrumentation and genetic algorithms to automatically discover clean, interesting test cases that trigger new internal states in the targeted binary. This substantially improves the functional coverage for the fuzzed code. The compact synthesized corpora produced by the tool are also useful for seeding other, more labor or resource-intensive testing regimes down the road. Compared to other instrumented fuzzers, afl-fuzz is designed to be practical, it has a modest performance overhead, uses a variety of highly effective fuzzing strategies and effort minimization tricks, requires essentially no configuration, and seamlessly handles complex, real-world use cases, say, common image parsing or file compression libraries. It's an instrumentation-guided genetic fuzzer capable of synthesizing complex file semantics in a wide range of non-trivial targets.

Honggfuzz is a security-oriented software fuzzer. Supports evolutionary, feedback-driven fuzzing based on code coverage (SW and HW-based). It’s multi-process and multi-threaded, there’s no need to run multiple copies of your fuzzer, as Honggfuzz can unlock the potential of all your available CPU cores with a single running instance. The file corpus is automatically shared and improved between all fuzzed processes. It’s blazingly fast when the persistent fuzzing mode is used. A simple/empty LLVMFuzzerTestOneInput function can be tested with up to 1mo iteration per second on a relatively modern CPU. Has a solid track record of uncovered security bugs, the only (to date) vulnerability in OpenSSL with the critical score mark was discovered by Honggfuzz. As opposed to other fuzzers, it will discover and report hijacked/ignored signals from crashes (intercepted and potentially hidden by a fuzzed program).

syzkaller is an unsupervised coverage-guided kernel fuzzer. Supports FreeBSD, Fuchsia, gVisor, Linux, NetBSD, OpenBSD, and Windows. Initially, syzkaller was developed with Linux kernel fuzzing in mind, but now it's being extended to support other OS kernels as well. Once syzkaller detects a kernel crash in one of the VMs, it will automatically start the process of reproducing this crash. By default, it will use 4 VMs to reproduce the crash and then minimize the program that caused it. This may stop the fuzzing, since all of the VMs might be busy reproducing detected crashes. The process of reproducing one crash may take from a few minutes up to an hour depending on whether the crash is easily reproducible or non-reproducible at all.

The smartmontools package contains two utility programs (smartctl and smartd) to control and monitor storage systems using the self-monitoring, analysis, and reporting technology system built into most modern ATA/SATA, SCSI/SAS and NVMe disks. In many cases, these utilities will provide advanced warning of disk degradation and failure. Smartmontools was originally derived from the Linux ​smartsuite package and actually supports ATA/SATA, SCSI/SAS, and NVMe disks and SCSI/SAS tape devices. It should run on any modern Linux, FreeBSD, NetBSD, OpenBSD, Darwin (macOS), Solaris, Windows, Cygwin, OS/2, eComStation or QNX system. Smartmontools can also be run from one of many different live CDs/DVDs.
