Ossim:Open Source Security Information Management

http://www.ossim.net/

Ossim stands for Open Source Security Information Management. Its goal is to provide a comprehensive compilation of tools which, when working together, grant a network/security administrator with detailed view over each and every aspect of his networks/hosts/physical access devices/server/etc...
Besides getting the best out of well known open source tools, some of which are quickly described below these lines, ossim provides a strong correlation engine, detailed low, mid and high level visualization interfaces as well as reporting and incident managing tools, working on a set of defined assets such as hosts, networks, groups and services.

All this information can be limited by network or sensor in order to provide just the needed information to specific users allowing for a fine grained multi-user security environment. Also, the ability to act as an IPS (Intrusion Prevention System) based on correlated information from virtually any source result in a useful addition to any security professional.


JFFNMS

http://www.jffnms.org/
JFFNMS is a Network Management and Monitoring System designed to monitor a IP SNMP / Syslog / Tacacs+ Network. It can be used to monitor any standards compilant SNMP device, Server, Router, TCP port or anything you want, if you write a custom poller, we also provide some Cisco focused features.

[freshmeat] distcc: a fast, free distributed C/C++ compiler

http://distcc.samba.org/

distcc is a program to distribute builds of C, C++, Objective C or Objective C++ code across several machines on a network. distcc should always generate the same results as a local build, is simple to install and use, and is usually much faster than a local compile.

distcc does not require all machines to share a filesystem, have synchronized clocks, or to have the same libraries or header files installed. They can even have different processors or operating systems, if cross-compilers are installed.

[freshmeat]ganglia :scalable distributed monitoring system

Ganglia is a scalable distributed monitoring system for high-performance computing systems such as clusters and Grids. It is based on a hierarchical design targeted at federations of clusters. It leverages widely used technologies such as XML for data representation, XDR for compact, portable data transport, and RRDtool for data storage and visualization. It uses carefully engineered data structures and algorithms to achieve very low per-node overheads and high concurrency. The implementation is robust, has been ported to an extensive set of operating systems and processor architectures, and is currently in use on thousands of clusters around the world. It has been used to link clusters across university campuses and around the world and can scale to handle clusters with 2000 nodes.

zoneminder:Linux video camera security and surveillance solution.

ZoneMinder is a set of applications which together provides a complete surveillance solution allowing capture, analysis, recording and monitoring of any cctv cameras attached to a Linux based machine. It is designed to run on distributions which support the Video For Linux (V4L) interface and has been tested with video cameras attached to BTTV cards, various USB cameras and IP network cameras. A partial list is given in the Support section, please give feedback in the Forums if it works with yours. It is designed to support as many cameras as you can attach to your computer without too much degradation of performance. ZoneMinder also requires MySQL and PHP, and is enhanced by a webserver such as Apache.

ZoneMinder is highly componentised and comprises both the back-end daemons which do the actual image capture and analysis and a user friendly front end enabling you to both monitor the current situation and view and organise historical events that have taken place. The front-end is web based allowing you to check and control your ZoneMinder installation from any other machine which can connect. ZoneMinder does not require X at all, or the web interface for day-to-day functions and so is suitable for 'headless' systems. There is also a rudimentary xHTML interface allowing basic monitoring from suitable phones!

[freshmeat]Linux Firewall LUTELWALL

http://firewall.lutel.pl/

LutelWall (formerly known as Lutel Firewall) is high-level linux firewall configuration tool. It uses human-readable and easy to understand configuration to set up Netfilter in most secure way. Its flexibility allows firewall admins build from very simple, single-homed firewalls, to most complex ones - with multiple subnets, DMZ's and traffic redirections. It can be used on a dedicated firewall system, a multi-function gateway/router/server or on a standalone system. Configuration method of this firewall is designed to be as simple as possible without loosing Netfilter flexibility and its security features.


[FRESHMEAT]linux-vserver:virtualization for GNU/Linux systems

http://linux-vserver.org/Welcome_to_Linux-VServer.org
Linux-VServer provides virtualization for GNU/Linux systems. This is accomplished by kernel level isolation. It allows to run multiple virtual units at once. Those units are sufficiently isolated to guarantee the required security, but utilize available resources efficiently, as they run on the same kernel.

This site contains information relating to the use and development of virtual servers based on Linux-VServer. This particular virtual server model is implemented through a combination of "security contexts", segmented routing, chroot, extended quotas and some other standard tools.

[创]我也来预测一下10大技术趋势吧.

瓦赛新年第一天心情很不错, 也来预测一下10大技术趋势吧. 你们必须崇拜并且支持同意

1. websoft : 所有软件都无需安装在线使用了, 希望google加油啊,以后机器都不用硬盘了

2. 光纤到桌面: 交换机和光纤网卡价格大幅下跌,服务器的板载光口向民用机器过渡

3.无限通信普及: 当然是趋势了,所以水晶头有危机了,会被迅速淘汰的.

4. ps3和多核计算: cpu不在搞主频了,开始搞多核,计算的瓶颈从cpu的能力转向通信能力
网格、神经网络计算机等开始飞速发展。 ps3 也许是下一带pc 的标准和起点
苹果放弃powerpc并没有让ibm感到失落,ps3的成功会让ibm再一次成为pc的标准
制订者, 而苹果还考虑一下要不要开发晚礼服和手表,毕竟fans太多了

5.高速大容量移动存储外设: eSATA等高速外设接口开始普及,usb太慢了,1394也快不行了,
为什么没有光纤口的移动硬盘啊这帮工厂真猪脑.

6. 模拟传输被数字取代: 传统的语音电话全部转为voip, 电视变成数字电视,广播变成数字广播。


7。计算通用化,家电化,网络化: 计算更加深入的渗透到生活的各个角落,计算机家电化是趋势,
我们的家用电器逐渐变成外设,我们的汽车,手机,宠物框都可以
在网络上访问和控制. 每个吃掉的苹果都有日志,包括他从树上长出来
的开始时间和被你吃下去的时间,当然苹果皮上要有条形码做识别

8 .数字人: 数字证书的重要性超过身份证,甚至代替身份证。 希望他植入我的拇指并用我的
dna 来签名,否则丢了或者被伪造就麻烦了.
