SmartSniff: Freeware Packet Sniffer - Capture TCP/IP packets on your network adapter

SmartSniff allows you to capture TCP/IP packets that pass through your network adapter, and view the captured data as sequence of conversations between clients and servers. You can view the TCP/IP conversations in Ascii mode (for text-based protocols, like HTTP, SMTP, POP3 and FTP.) or as hex dump. (for non-text base protocols, like DNS)
SmartSniff provides 2 methods for capturing TCP/IP packets :

* Raw Sockets (Only for Windows 2000/XP or greater): Allows you to capture TCP/IP packets on your network without installing a capture driver. This method has some limitations and problems.
* WinPcap Capture Driver: Allows you to capture TCP/IP packets on all Windows operating systems. (Windows 98/ME/NT/2000/XP/2003) In order to use it, you have to download and install WinPcap Capture Driver from this Web site. (WinPcap is a free open-source capture driver.)
This method is generally the preferred way to capture TCP/IP packets with SmartSniff, and it works better than the Raw Sockets method.

Welcome to Druid: The Database Manager: "The druid is a tools that allows users to create databases in a graphical way. The user can add tables, fields, folders to group tables and can modify most of the database options that follow the SQL-92 standard. In addition to sql options, the user can document each table and each field with HTML information. Once the database is created, the druid can generate:

* HTML documentation: for all tables, with browsing facilities
* PDF documentation: for all tables
* Java classes: (one class for each table) that contain tables' constants (such as fields size) plus java code added by the user
* A data dictionarythat contains all tables and fields present in the database
* SQL script which contains all table definitions that can be piped to the DBMS
* And much more info..."

Juan Roman Escamilla : Bug Tracking

Bug Tracking

I found a list of Bug Tracking tools with the following names. Visual Studio Team System features are of course not listed but I am curious of what do you use for this purpose. There are no .NET tools here; I’ve seen some successful attempts of using just Project Server. Feedback?

* StarUnit : just CaptureBugsWithTests
* BugZilla: open source, powerful, but not very easy to set up.
* Bluetail Ticket Tracker (http://btt.sourceforge.net/): very easy to setup and use, free elementool (http://elementool.com): web based, so there is no set up, and it is free. The functionality is fairly basic.
* Mantis (http://mantisbt.sourceforge.net/): PHP/mySQL-based, open source. Current version is only 0.18, but already very usable. Great (i.e. simple) UI.
* FogBUGZ (http://www.fogcreek.com/FogBUGZ/): Web-based. Intended to be straightforward, yet powerful. Developed by the moderately well-known developer Joel Spolsky (http://www.joelonsoftware.com/)
* WikiWikiWeb: can be used for bug tracking, but misses certain features desirable for this purpose
* SourceForge itself contains web-based bug-tracking software (http://sourceforge.net)
* Bug Track is a simple Perl/DBI bug tracking tool (http://agstools.com/bugtrack/index.html)
* Agility (http://www.agileedge.com Bug Tracking) from AgileEdge is a simple Java Web-based Issue and Bug tracker.
* Roundup (http://roundup.sourceforge.net/)
* Any wiki (see note in TwikiClone)
* Code Track http://www.openbugs.org/ - light-weight, PHP/XML, open source/GNU GPL
* JitterBug http://samba.anu.edu.au/jitterbug/ - light-weight, C CGI program, open source/GNU GPL, used by the samba team http://directory.google.com/Top/Computers/Software/Configuration_Management/Bug_Tracking/Free/
* CvsTrac? http://www.cvstrac.org - tracks bugs and cvs checkins, includes a wiki and cvs browser. Best idea: bug descriptions and cvs checkin comments are wiki formatted so they and wiki pages can refer to each other. Open source/GNU GPL.
* Trac (http://www.edgewall.com/products/trac) - seems like a follow on from CvsTrac?. It integrates issue/bug tracking, subversion checkins, wiki and a few other goodies. Makes the crosslinks between rfcs, bugs, work orders etc very visible.
* ITracker (http://sourceforge.net/projects/itracker) - A free, open-source java implementation that seems ok but lacks all the features of BugZilla.
* Bug Rat (http://www.gjt.org/pkg/bugrat/) - A free, open-source java implementation ... but the code is a BigBallOfMud
* Scarab (http://scarab.tigris.org/) - intended as a replacement for BugZilla. Implemented in java. Too heavy and bloated.
* Insecticida (http://sourceforge.net/projects/insecticida/) - Originally a fork from Workbench (http://sourceforge.net/projects/workbench/). Implemented in PHP. Iteration aware. Check-ins are emailed to all the team members. Several interesting KeyPerformanceIndexes? ... but the code is a BigBallOfMud.
* PR-Tracker (http://www.prtracker.com) - Easy to use bug/issue tracking software. Has free 1 users options.
* JiRa - free for open-source and non-profit projects.
* Double Choco Latte (http://dcl.sourceforge.net/) - Looks pretty good, nice and easy to use. Has quite a few features (but missing out some of the more complicated ones).
* Rational ClearQuest? - expensive and big. Highly customisable through Perl and VBScript APIs. Scalable, multi-site-capable.

OpenVPN GUI for Windows

OpenVPN is a full-featured SSL VPN solution which can accomodate a wide range of configurations, including remote access, site-to-site VPNs, WiFi security, and enterprise-scale remote access solutions with load balancing, failover, and fine-grained access-controls.

OpenVPN is normally run in a console window, which can be a little annoying to have lying on the taskbar all the time. OpenVPN GUI lets you run OpenVPN without this console window. Instead you get an icon in the notification area (the area on the right side of the taskbar) from which you can control OpenVPN to start/stop your VPN tunnels, view the log, change your password and other useful things.

OpenVPN GUI is an Open Source project and is licensed under the GPL.

Latest stable release: 1.0.3 with OpenVPN 2.0.5 (2005-11-04)
