Here in the Packetizer Labs section, you will find useful
information on various topics, some useful software, and a few things that
are just for entertainment. We hope you enjoy Packetizer Labs and, as
always, we welcome your contributions.
AES Crypt
|
|
We created a very cool program called AES Crypt, which allows you to
encrypt and decrypt files using 256-bit AES encryption, either from Windows
or from Linux.
|
Calendar
|
|
This little Perl script will mimic the behavior of the 'calendar' program
that was found on older AT&T UNIX systems. It has appeared on
many flavors of UNIX, but we are not aware of such a tool for Linux.
|
Cambridge Obfuscator
|
|
Here's something cool: the Cambridge Obfuscator. You can paste
a paragraph full of text into the window and the program will follow
simple rules to scramble the letters in the middle of words and,
amazingly, the words are still readable.
|
Character Converter
|
|
We have another script that will convert characters into hexadecimal,
showing both the UTF-8 and Unicode value for each character.
|
Hide Email Address
|
|
We also have a little script that you can use to help hide your e-mail
address when you embed it in a web page. It will provide two ways to
hide your e-mail address to make it more difficult for bots to retrive it.
|
OpenID Provider Server
|
|
OpenID is becoming the standard on the Internet allowing one to use a single
identity in order to access different web sites. We decided to implement
our own server and we made it available here.
|
Pug
|
|
Pug is a incremental, secure, efficient cloud file archiver designed for
Linux that stores files in Amazon S3, freeing you from the chore of
performing weekly backups.
|
Secure Password Generator
|
|
Need a secure password? This site will create a few for you. These passwords
are strong and useful in applications from web site logins to AES Crypt
passwords.
|
Single Pass
|
|
Single Pass will allow you to use a single password to generate passwords
for all of your accounts, safely and securely.
|
Towers of Hanoi,
Sierpinski's Triangle
|
|
Algorithms are interesting. Some are complex and some are trivial.
Sometimes it is the ones that are most trivial that are the most
interesting. We have two good examples that one might consider
great classics. One is the Towers of Hanoi and the other is
Sierpinski's Triangle.
|
WebFinger Server
|
|
WebFinger is a web service that allows one to discover
information about people and things on the Internet. It is documented
in IETF RFC 7033.
