Various security tools that don't need their own subproject.

Please have a look at the Subprojects, listed at the 'Subprojects' tab for more tools.

Keychain helps you to manage ssh and GPG keys in a convenient and secure manner. It acts as a frontend to ssh-agent and ssh-add, but allows you to easily have one long running ssh-agent process per system, rather than the norm of one ssh-agent per login session.

This dramatically reduces the number of times you need to enter your passphrase. With keychain, you only need to enter a passphrase once every time your local machine is rebooted. Keychain also makes it easy for remote cron jobs to securely "hook in" to a long running ssh-agent process, allowing your scripts to take advantage of key-based logins.

t-prot detects and, when demanded, hides annoying parts in rfc822
messages: TOFU (see below), huge quoted blocks, signatures (especially
when they are too long), excessive punctuation, blocks of empty lines,
and trailing spaces and tabs. For use inside of MTAs or MDAs, it may
exit with appropriate libc exit codes, so annoying messages may be
bounced easily.

TOFU is an abbreviation that mixes German and English words. It expands
to "text oben, full-quote unten" that means "text above - full quote
below" and describes the style of many users who let their mailer or
newsreader quote everything of the previous message and just add some
text at the top.

Cheops-ng is a Network management tool for mapping and monitoring your network.
It has host/network discovery functionality as well as OS detection of hosts.
Cheops-ng has the ability to probe hosts to see what services they are running.
On some services, cheops-ng is actually able to see what program is running for
a service and the version number of that program.

NB: Run cheops-agent as root to enable the backend.

Part of the efforts to reduce power consumption is to identify processes
which keep waking up the disk even when the computer is idle.

Unfortunately there is no really good tool to trace file access events
system-wide. powertop claims to, but its output is both very incomplete,
and also wrong (e. g. it claims that read accesses are writes). strace
gives you everything you do and don’t want to know about what’s going on,
but is per-process, and attaching strace to all running and new processes
is cumbersome. blktrace is system-wide, but operates at a way too low
level for this task: its output has nothing to do any more with files or
even inodes, just raw block numbers which are impossible to convert back
to an inode and file path.

So I created a little tool called fatrace (“file access trace”, not “fat
race” :-) ) which uses fanotify, a couple of /proc lookups and some glue
to provide this. By default it monitors the whole system, i. e. all mounts
(except the virtual ones like /proc, tmpfs, etc.), but you can also tell
it to just consider the mount of the current directory. You can write the
log into a file (stdout by default), and run it for a specified number of
seconds. Optional time stamps and PID filters are also provided.

Logwatch is a customizable, pluggable log-monitoring system. It will go through your logs for a given period of time and make a report in the areas that you wish with the detail that you wish.
