BashStyle-NG is a graphical tool for changing
Bash's behavior and look and feel. It can also
style Readline, Nano, and Vim. It ships with a huge functionchain, which is used by the 16 default prompt styles, but may also be used separately.

check_ssl_cert is a Nagios plugin to check X.509
certificates. It checks if the server is running
and delivers a valid certificate. It also checks
if the CA matches a given pattern, and checks the
validity.

Bash.Diff is a patch against Bash shell. In the
main core, it adds the following syntax: {a..b};
${var|...}; then-else-fi to for/while/until/case
statements; try-block with string exception;
<&lt+; and, <<<<. As builtin, it
adds the following: sscanf(3), <string.h>,
<ctype.h> wrappers; array, regex(3), stack,
queue operations; GDBM, SQLite, PostgreSQL, MySQL
database interfaces; HTML template engine (BASP);
Expat XML parser interface; x-y char plot; DOS,
CSV, Awk support; Libwebserver interface; RPN
calculator with <math.h> functions; and,
GTK+2 interface for GUI dialog.

Luksus makes it quick and easy to create encrypted volumes such as hard drives, USB sticks, and SD cards on Linux, FreeBSD, and DragonFlyBSD. It can also create encrypted file containers. It is a wrapper for Crypsetup (DM-LUKS), tcplay, and geli. It can also encrypt single files using GnuPG.

Laptop Mode Tools allows you to control various
power management settings based on AC/battery
power state. Among other things, it controls
Linux's "Laptop Mode" feature that allows your
hard drive to spin down for extended periods. It
can also control CPU frequency scaling and screen
blanking timeouts (both terminal and X). It
supports automatic hibernation when battery is
low.

NARC (Netfilter Automatic Rules Configurator) is a free firewalling package for Netfilter/Iptables, released under the BSD license. It attempts to simplify the setup of a firewall (stateful packet filter) via the iptables tools. It is a bash shellscript that generates (hopefully) sensible and secure rules for Netfilter based on a simple configuration file. It features quick setup via a simple configuration file, connection tracking (and fragmentation reassembly), customized logging, probe detection (TCP & UDP), and much more.

Sous-marin tools are bash scripts for analyzing and maintaining a minimized Slackware installation. They can all be used on normal Slackware installations as well.

NSH is a CLI intended for OpenBSD-based network appliances. It replaces ifconfig, sysctl, and route with its own simple command language, and consolidates configuration for other daemons into one place, effectively replacing /etc/netstart and parts of /etc/rc for appliance-style usage. NSH presents the user with a vaguely Cisco-like interface with all configuration in one easy to read text list. It also gives the user access to system information and diagnostics. NSH replaces the userland commands that handle these functions, and talks directly to the OpenBSD kernel or control utility for daemon functionality. Supported external utilities: pf, ospfd, ospf6d, bgpd, ripd, ldpd, relayd, ipsecctl, iked, rtadvd, dvmrpd, sasyncd, dhcpd, snmpd, sshd, ntpd, ifstated, tftp-proxy, ftp-proxy, tftpd, npppd, resolv.conf, inetd, smtpd, ldapd, and ifstated.

Forban is a P2P file sharing application for link-local and local area networks. Forban works independently from the Internet and uses only the local area capabilities to announce, discover, search, or share files. Forban relies on HTTP and is opportunistic, meaning that it replicates any files of interest seen in its proximity. The Forban protocols are minimalistic to ease the production of other implementations.

MT-write is a binary patch for multi-threaded
writing. It comes in the form of a shared object
that can be preloaded to programs like tar to make
their write operations multi-threaded.
Multi-threaded writing can improve performance on
RAM based filesystems and highly scalable
filesystems with multiple spindles.
