GnuPG (GNU Privacy Guard) is a GNU utility for encrypting data and
creating digital signatures. GnuPG has advanced key management
capabilities and is compliant with the proposed OpenPGP Internet
standard described in RFC2440. Since GnuPG doesn't use any patented
algorithm, it is not compatible with any version of PGP2 (PGP2.x uses
only IDEA for symmetric-key encryption, which is patented worldwide).

arbitrary TCP/IP ports can also be forwarded over the secure channel.

OpenSSH is OpenBSD's rework of the last free version of SSH, bringing it
up to date in terms of security and features, as well as removing all
patented algorithms to separate libraries (OpenSSL).

Valgrind is a GPL'd tool to help you find memory-management problems
in your programs. When a program is run under Valgrind's supervision,
all reads and writes of memory are checked, and calls to
malloc/new/free/delete are intercepted. As a result, Valgrind can
detect problems such as:

- Use of uninitialised memory
- Reading/writing memory after it has been free'd
- Reading/writing off the end of malloc'd blocks
- Reading/writing inappropriate areas on the stack
- Memory leaks -- where pointers to malloc'd blocks are lost forever
- Passing of uninitialised and/or unaddressible memory to system calls
- Mismatched use of malloc/new/new [] vs free/delete/delete []
- Some abuses of the POSIX Pthreads API

Netfilter is a framework for filtering and mangling network packets
that pass through your Linux box. iptables is the corresponding user

encapsulated into teh TNEF attachment.  Thus alleviating the need to use
Microsoft Outlook to view the attachment.

The Data Display Debugger (DDD) is a popular GUI for command-line
debuggers like GDB, DBX, JDB, WDB, XDB, the Perl debugger, and the
Python debugger. DDD allows you to view source texts and provides an
interactive graphical data display, in which data structures are
displayed as graphs. You can use your mouse to dereference pointers
or view structure contents, which are updated every time the program
stops. DDD can debug programs written in Ada, C, C++, Chill, Fortran,
Java, Modula, Pascal, Perl, and Python. DDD provides machine-level
debugging; hypertext source navigation and lookup; breakpoint,
watchpoint, backtrace, and history editors; array plots; undo and
redo; preferences and settings editors; program execution in the
terminal emulation window, debugging on a remote host, an on-line
manual, extensive help on the Motif user interface, and a command-line
interface with full editing, history and completion capabilities.

PHP is an HTML-embedded scripting language.  PHP attempts to make it
easy for developers to write dynamically generated web pages.  PHP
also offers built-in database integration for several commercial
and non-commercial database management systems, so writing a
database-enabled web page with PHP is fairly simple.  The most
common use of PHP coding is probably as a replacement for CGI
scripts.  The mod_php module enables the Apache web server to
understand and process the embedded PHP language in web pages.

allows a user to read mail on a remote machine without downloading it to
their local machine.

Install the imap package if you need a server to support the IMAP or the
POP mail access protocols.

Blade's MP3 Encoder (BladeEnc) is a freeware MP3 encoder. It is based on
the same ISO compression routines as mpegEnc, so you can expect roughly
the same, or better, quality. The main difference is the appearance and
speed. BladeEnc doesn't have a nice, user-friendly interface like mpegEnc,
but it is more than three times faster, and it works with several popular
front-end graphical user interfaces.

The "readline" library will read a line from the terminal and return it,
using prompt as a prompt.  If prompt is null, no prompt is issued.  The
line returned is allocated with malloc(3), so the caller must free it when
finished.  The line returned has the final newline removed, so only the
text of the line remains.

allowing the user to edit the line with the standard emacs editing keys.
It allows the programmer to give the user an easier-to-use and more
intuitive interface.

and shell scripting.  Perl is good at handling processes and files,
and is especially good at handling text.  Perl's hallmarks are
practicality and efficiency.  While it is used to do a lot of

administration utilities and web programming.  A large proportion of
the CGI scripts on the web are written in Perl.  You need the perl
package installed on your system so that your system can handle Perl
scripts.

Install this package if you want to program in Perl or enable your
system to handle Perl scripts.

Libpcap provides a portable framework for low-level network
monitoring.  Libpcap can provide network statistics collection,
security monitoring and network debugging.  Since almost every system
vendor provides a different interface for packet capture, the libpcap
authors created this system-independent API to ease in porting and to
alleviate the need for several system-dependent packet capture modules
in each application.

Tcpdump is a command-line tool for monitoring network traffic.
Tcpdump can capture and display the packet headers on a particular
network interface or on all interfaces.  Tcpdump can display all of
the packet headers, or just the ones that match particular criteria.

The Linux kernel allows new kernel pieces to be loaded and old ones to
be unloaded while the kernel continues to run. These loadable pieces
are called modules, and can include device drivers and filesystems among
other things. This package includes program to load and unload programs
both automatically and manually.

Slocate is a security-enhanced version of locate. Just like locate,
slocate searches through a central database (which is updated nightly)
for files which match a given pattern. Slocate allows you to quickly
find files anywhere on your system.

GNU Wget is a file retrieval utility which can use either the HTTP or
FTP protocols.  Wget features include the ability to work in the
background while you're logged out, recursive retrieval of
directories, file name wildcard matching, remote file timestamp
storage and comparison, use of Rest with FTP servers and Range with
HTTP servers to retrieve files over slow or unstable connections,
support for Proxy servers, and configurability.

Install wget if you need to retrieve large numbers of files with HTTP or
FTP, or if you need a utility for mirroring web sites or FTP directories.

M(y)sql.pm and DBD::mSQL(mysql) implement two different approaches to
communicate with an mSQL or mysql server. DBD::mSQL(mysql) is built
upon the DBI, the generic Perl Database Interface. It brings you an
identical interface to a broad variety of databases and is in this
regard comparable to ODBC. The advantage of the DBI approach is
portability and interoperability. M(y)sql.pm are the elder species.
They were written before DBI was available but inspired by an early
draft of the DBI specification. As they have been circulating longer
they are more mature and pretty stable. They're also more complete
than DBD::mSQL and DBD::mysql.

ShowTable.pm, is a Perl 5 module which defines subroutines
to print arrays of data in a nicely formatted listing, using one of
four possible formats: simple table, boxed table, list style, and
HTML-formatting (for World-Wide-Web output).
