Past Projects
These are old projects I am no longer working on. They are still available for download though.
VPN-Gate-Net
vpngatenet is a command line script which makes it easy to establish a vpn to a VPNGate Node using OpenVPN. Description is in german only, sorry. However the script itself has an english usage text and is otherwise self explanatory.
WWW::Rest::Apid
WWW::Rest::Apid is a generic way to provide a REST API for something not on the web.
Digiproof
DigiProof - is a javascript standalone app which helps to generate and maintain a testament for your online assets, such as social network accounts, email and such. I’ve written a german blogpost about it as well.
Podwiki
PodWiki is a flexible and collaboratve web tool which allows a group of users, a community, to maintain a whole website online. One click, and you can change a page. This concept is well known and called WikiWikiWeb.
PCRE++
PCRE++ is a C++ wrapper-class for the great library PCRE. (Perl Compatible Regular Expressions), which is available on pcre.org by Philip Hazel.
This class allows you to use perl alike regular expressions in your C++ applications. You can use it to search in strings, to split strings into parts using expressions or to search and replace a part of a string with another part.
dbtool
dbtool can be used to store and retrieve data in a key/value format in a hash database. Perl compatible regular expressions are supported both for storing and retrieving of data. It’s main advantages are the ability to maintain huge amounts of data and speed. As of version 1.4 dbtool supports encrypted databases using the RIJNDAEL cipher algorithm.
note
This is a small console program written in perl, which allows you to manage notes similar to programs like “knotes” from commandline. Note can use different database-backends for notes-storage. It ships with a DBI-based mysql-module(whi chomp can also be used for other by DBI supported DBMS) and another module, which uses a binary file for storage and a DBM module. It natively supports encryption(IDEA or DES).
Please note: I am still using this old script personally, so in a way it is still being supported, but only bugfixes are being made. Do not expect any new features.
Netcat port for windows
This is a port of OpenBSD’s netcat to windows. It’s from 2011 and might not compile anymore.
Pod Slideshows
These are actually 3 different perl modules with utilities to generate nice looking HTML slideshows from Perl Pod. These include:
Zeff
Zeff is a time accounting tool suite. It consists of a commandline client, an X11 gui client and a java version along with some maintenance utilities. Zeff is in use on a daily basis, but doesn’t have its own page so far.
Plosxom
Plosxom is a textfile based blog engine written in PHP, the only PHP tool I ever released. It features a complete admin backend but can be used from the commandline as well. I actually used it for some years but the guy running the server took it down for some unknown reason. Since then I’m using Django as my blog engine (code unreleased so far) and abandoned Plosxom.
Takeoverd
Takeoverd is a perl daemon which can be used for a failsafe firewall installation. It uses arp-spoofing and ssh over a dedicated interface to takeover it’s peer. Very detailed documentation is included as man-page.
