GNU Proxyknife Heckert gnu.small.png GNU Proxyknife is a customizable multithread proxy hunter. It can help users behind strict firewall find suitable free proxies. gnu Proxyknife reads proxylist1 from the file, stdin or the web, then validates the free proxies and prints the good ones. Time intervals and the others which are userful to estimate the speed or capability of every proxy are also printed. The whole processing can be customized by the user, which is different from the other hunters. In url mode, Proxyknife can read a large number of proxies on machines with little memory. It works on GNU/Linux, SunOS, OSF1 and more.

HTTPS-Everywhere HTTPS Everywhere is a Firefox extension produced as a collaboration between The Tor Project and the Electronic Frontier Foundation. It encrypts your communications with a number of major websites. Many sites on the web offer some limited support for encryption over HTTPS, but make it difficult to use. For instance, they may default to unencrypted HTTP, or fill encrypted pages with links that go back to the unencrypted site. The HTTPS Everywhere extension fixes these problems by rewriting all requests to these sites to HTTPS.

Wellenreiter Wellenreiter is a GTK/Perl wireless network discovery and auditing tool. Prism2, Lucent, and Cisco based cards are supported. It is the easiest to use Linux scanning tool. No card configuration has to be done anymore. The whole look and feel is pretty self-explaining. It can discover networks (BSS/IBSS), and detects ESSID broadcasting or non-broadcasting networks and their WEP capabilities and the manufacturer automatically. DHCP and ARP traffic are decoded and displayed to give you further information about the networks. An ethereal/tcpdump-compatible dumpfile and an Application savefile will be automaticly created. gpsd can be used to track the location of the discovered networks.
