scantools-1.2.tar.gz(18091 bytes)-
A set of programs to deal with log files containing iptables/ipchains DROP/DENY messages. In particular, this package is useful for detecting port scans and complaining about them.
scantools is not a dynamic firewall program. It just lets you know that certain kinds of events have occurred and helps you to send e-mail messages about them.
Also, scantools has nothing to do with scanning images into graphics files!
zombie-1.0.tar.gz(9834 bytes)-
A set of programs to help people to learn about Unix/Linux concepts. The package is called "zombie" because this is the name of the first (and currently only) program in the collection.
A zombie process is one that has exited but its parent has not yet cleaned up its remains. By default this program creates a zombie process. It will also let you do a little bit of signal and exit status manipulation.
You can also browse (or wget) the
src directory, which contains all of
these things.
