• Multithreaded for fast operation.
• Allows multiple simultaneous connections over all tunnels.
• All settings are saved to a DAT file, for easy portability.
• The program can act as both the client or server, or both at the same time.
• Extremely small executable size, 224kb.
• When starting with windows use the -s switch.
• To start the application in the system tray use the -m switch.

JavaScrypt, the high-security data encryption solution which runs entirely in your Web browser

http://www.fourmilab.ch/javascrypt/

At first glance, JavaScript may seem an odd choice for implementing encryption. These programs are rather large and complicated, and downloading and running them them takes longer than would be required for a Java applet or to access a CGI program on a Web server. I chose JavaScript for two reasons: security and transparency.

Security.   The sole reason for encryption is to protect privacy. This means the process cannot involve any link whose security is suspect. If messages were encrypted by a Web server, they would have to pass over the Internet, where any intermediate site might intercept them. Even if some mechanism such as secure HTTP could absolutely prevent the data’s being intercepted, you’d still have no way to be sure the site which performed the encryption didn’t keep a copy in a file, conveniently tagged with your Internet address.

Mounting CD/DVD ISO images in Windows XP

http://download.microsoft.com/download/7/b/6/7b6abd84-7841-4978-96f5-bd58df02efa2/winxpvirtualcdcontrolpanel_21.exe

Well, I just found out there is a tiny free tool from Microsoft (though unsupported) that does just that: it is called "Virtual CD-ROM Control Panel for Windows XP" and it allows you to browse a CD/DVD iso image (.iso file) as if it was a real CD/DVD connected to your Windows XP system. The tool will assign a drive letter to the virtual CD (e.g. Z:) and from that moment on you will be able to access it, read-only, using all the normal utilities like Windows Explorer and from any program (e.g. File->Open).

StoragePoint – Search for file category and copy to own folder

http://optionalreaction.com/software/storagepoint/

# Performs a recursive search for all files matching the specified mask(s) [both DEFAULT and USER].

# Will work with any drive (Local, Remote (Mapped) or UNC).

# A list of ‘collection’ candidates is generated to select from. The candidates are automatically sorted into categories (USER, AUDIO, IMAGES and MOVIES).

# A option to compare file contents when collecting automatically makes copies of files containing differing data but a duplicate name. This option negates the need for any user input when collecting.

DropMyRights – opens selected programs under limited user rights

http://msdn.microsoft.com/security/securecode/columns/default.aspx?pull=/library/en-us/dncode/html/secure11152004.asp

A growing number of security tools take a new approach to fighting malicious software. Rather than blocking each virus, they aim to limit malware’s power to cause harm even if it gets in. One of the better free apps adopting this preventive strategy is DropMyRights, a small program that opens selected programs under limited user rights.

It works with any program, but before using it, you’ll need to make some quick changes. After installing it, you must create a shortcut for each program that you want to use with it (or modify the existing one). Our Downloads page has a link to full instructions. If you click a Web link in another program, such as Word, your default browser will start normally, without DropMyRights protection (unless it is running with DropMyRights, too). To get the extra security, copy and paste the link after starting your browser via the specially prepared shortcut.

PhpFreeChat is a free and nice working chat

http://www.phpfreechat.net/overview.en.html

PhpFreeChat is a free and nice working chat. You only have to copy/paste 3 lines of code to make it work. No need to configure a database (Mysql), messages and nicknames are stored in files.

No problems with firewalls, this script is based on HTTP so you only need a web browser and an internet connection. (everyone can easily chat!)

No problems with none-latin characteres ! Are you Russian, Japanese, Turk, Chinese, or Arabic? Whatever language you speak, phpfreechat will nicely display your characters because it uses XML with UTF-8 to encode characters.

AJAX technology is used to smoothly refresh (no flicker) and display the chat zone and the nickname zone.

Messages and nicknames are stored into a simple filesystem, so that server resources are saved to the uttermost.

Bandwidth is preserved because the server never transmits twice the same data : only new messages are transmitted.

You can write your own customized CSS stylesheets, to completely change the appearance of your chat.

All chat functionalities are customizable. For example, you can change the messages refresh time, you can ban users for changing their usernames…

The plugin system allows you to write your own storage routines. For example, you can write a plugin to store the conversations into your database.

All phpFreeChat commands are inspired by the irc protocol, and its interface is inspired by mIRC and XChat, so that users won´t be disoriented.

Techonologies used by phpFreeChat are:

    * php: on the server side : conversations are simply stored in filesystems.
    * xajax: for the asynchronous communication between the client and the server (phpFreeChat do NOT use mysql)

phpFreeChat is an opensource (LGPL) program, so that you can freely use it and modify it.

Here you can see how to install this chat:
http://www.phpfreechat.net/install.en.html

Requirements:

    * A Web server (apache, IIS …) with php (4 or 5)
    * A write access on the Web server (ssh, FTP, or other)
    * By default, you don´t need Mysql database because the system uses files to store messages and nicknames

QEMU is a generic and open source processor emulator

http://fabrice.bellard.free.fr/qemu/about.html

QEMU is a generic and open source processor emulator which achieves a good emulation speed by using dynamic translation.
QEMU has two operating modes:

    * Full system emulation. In this mode, QEMU emulates a full system (for example a PC), including a processor and various peripherials. It can be used to launch different Operating Systems without rebooting the PC or to debug system code.
    * User mode emulation (Linux host only). In this mode, QEMU can launch Linux processes compiled for one CPU on another CPU.

An optional proprietary QEMU Accelerator Module is available to optimize the case where a PC is emulated on a PC. This module enables QEMU to run most of the target application code directly on the host processor to achieve near native performance.

The supported host and target CPUs are listed in the status page. For full system emulation, the supported Operating Systems are listed here.
