Icon Firewall Builder 2.1.18

Firewall Builder is a multi-platform firewall configuration and management tool. It consists of a GUI and set of policy compilers for various firewall platforms. Firewall Builder uses object-oriented approach, it helps administrator maintain a database of network objects and allows policy editing using simple drag-and-drop operations. Firewall Builder currently supports iptables, ipfilter, OpenBSD PF and Cisco PIX. Technical summary of features supported by the policy compilers for all platforms can be found in the section "Modules" (see menu on the left).
Being truly vendor-neutral, Firewall Builder can generate a configuration file for any supported target firewall platform from the same policy created in its GUI. This provides for both consistent policy management solution for heterogeneous environments and possible migration path.

Icon Flying Buttress 1.4

As Apple's built-in Firewall preferences improves in both functionality and security, I will be aiming Flying Buttress more at users who need the advanced firewall configuration, logging, and IP sharing options found in Flying Buttress. There is no reason that a new or inexperienced user cannot use Flying Buttress, but Apple's own Firewall preferences will likely remain a simpler interface for configuring a basic firewall. However, if you need:
- Firewall filters that include qualifiers on host or network addresses
- Firewall filters that operate on other than TCP or UDP protocols
- Firewall filters that include the whole range of ipfw qualifiers, such as IP options, ICMP types or TCP flags
- Per-filter logging configuration, including the ability to log allowed connections and the option to not log certain types of denied connections
- NAT port forwarding or other custom NAT configuration
- Different filter configurations on different network interfaces.
- A persistant, searchable firewall log entry database with graphical log viewer
- Scriptable control of your firewall, such as via cron or other shell automation
- Access and ability to easily edit the raw firewall configuration text, including an integrated ipfw filter syntax checker.
- The ability to switch between different firewall configuration sets quickly and easily. ...then you should consider using Flying Buttress.

Icon GlowWorm FW 1.5.2

GlowWorm FW Lite - can help you protect your privacy by enabling you to control your computer at the network level.
Through a simple system of Rules (see screenshot on the right) you can easily define the behavior that is acceptable on the basis of a particular application, host or ip address, port number, and any combination thereof, and what action to take if such an event occurs. A default set of rules is included to get you started.
GlowWorm FW Lite is a completely free download. A more sophisticated (non-free) version is planned, and feedback received regarding this free version will help guide development. Mac OS X 10.4 is required to use GlowWorm FW Lite.
What are Rules?
Rules are a means by which one can impose network restrictions upon the applications on one's computer. Each Rule specifies one of the actions: Allow, Deny, Ask. If a network event matches on an "Ask" rule, an authorization dialog window will appear, it will show you the details of the event (the application name, the remote IP address, port number, approximate geographic location, etc.) and based on that information you can make a decision about whether or not to allow it. By customizing the set of rules to strictly match the specifics of your computer use, you can have an extra level of security in place, which can alert you if an application starts doing something unexpected ("phoning home"), or a malicious program tries to contact another computer.

Icon GnuPG 1.4.8

Mac GNU Privacy Guard (Mac GPG for short) is, after a fashion, the Mac OS X port of GnuPG, licensed under the GNU GPL. The aims of the project are to make GnuPG easy to install, develop a framework to make it easy for other developers to incorporate GnuPG functionality into their applications, write services to allow for the use of GnuPG functions in most Cocoa applications, and write a Mac GPG Keys type application so that you no longer have to go to the commandline to manage your keys. For those who don't know, GnuPG is a free OpenPGP client (PGP == Pretty Good Privacy). It can encrypt text (usually e-mail or other messages sent between people) and sign text to prove who wrote it. A further discussion of this can be found elsewhere.

GPGMail does not contain any encryption code: it is a client to gpg executable.
GPGMail is a complete hack, relying on Mail's private internal API. Use it at your own risks!

Instead, IPNetSentryX silently and intelligently watches for suspicious behavior, and when triggered, invokes a solid filter which completely bans the potential intruder from your Macintosh. The advantage is you don't need a network expert to configure your firewall or debug compatibility conflicts.

iROT13 is a simple and easy to use program for encoding and decoding text that is in the ROT13 format. You can copy and paste text directly into the application for conversion, open a file and convert it and save converted text to a file.
Note: ROT13 encoding is NOT secure encryption. It simply renders text into a garbled form that is not readable by humans. However, anyone with the right program or programming skill can decode content that is in the ROT13 format.
That said, iROT13 makes ROT13 encoding and decoding on OS X simple and easy. And best of all, it's free.

Icon JAP 00.09.019

Without Anonymization, every computer in the internet communicates using a traceable Address. That means:
the website visited,
the internet service provider (ISP),
and any eavesdropper on the internet connection
can determine which websites the user of a specific computer visits. Even the information which the user calls up can be intercepted and seen if encryption is not used.
Info: Leaving a data trail online...
JAP uses a single static address which is shared by many JAP users. That way neither the visited website, nor an eavesdropper can determine which user visited which website.
How it works
Instead of connecting directly to a webserver, users take a detour, connecting with encryption through several intermediaries, so-called mixes.

Attention! The first release of JAP is downloadable free of charge and already protects your privacy against most observers like your ISP, your network operator, or your boss. However, this version does not yet achieve the full security and anonymity that we strive for. It does not protect you against an adversary who has the capability to observe all communication links on the Internet.

NetShade is an Internet security tool which makes your Web presence anonymous and secure.
Control your web routing through one straightforward console Instead of your web connection going directly from your machine to the website you're visiting, it is automatically routed through an Internet proxy server. NetShade lets you connect to the Internet in one of three ways:
Direct Connection: No anonymity, no proxy is used.
Public Proxy: NetShade selects a publicly-available proxy server from its daily-updated list. These servers are located around the world and provide good anonymity, but they are not within NetShade's control and therefore speed and reliability cannot be assured.
NetShade Proxy: NetShade connects through its own dedicated anonymous proxy server located in a Texas datacenter. The NetShade proxy server is a non-logging, fully anonymous web proxy supporting both HTTP and HTTPS. This option provides the best speed, reliability and anonymity. The NetShade proxy is available only to registered users.

Icon Permanent Eraser 2.3.3

When you normally delete your files in Mac OS X, the operating system is only forgetting where those particular files are placed, while the data still physically remains on the drive. Beginning with Mac OS 10.3, Apple enhanced its security by introducing the Secure Empty Trash feature, which follows the U.S. DoD pattern of overwriting data seven times.
Permanent Eraser provides an even stronger level of security by implementing the Gutmann Method. This utility overwrites your data thirty-five times, scrambles the original file name, and truncates the file size to nothing before Permanent Eraser finally unlinks it from the system. Once your data has been erased, it can no longer be read through traditional means.

What's different about this utility:
While other scripts quit as soon as you select "Show the Invisible files" - then you must find the script again.
This script reads the state of your invisible files and displays another dialog box until you are finished.
This makes things much easier, especially if you're accessing the script through Spotlight.

icon Snort 2.6.1.2

In 1998, Martin Roesch wrote an open source technology called Snort, which he termed a "lightweight" intrusion detection technology in comparison to commercially available systems. Today that moniker doesn't even begin to describe the capabilities that Snort brings to the table as the most widely deployed intrusion prevention technology worldwide. Over the years Snort has evolved into a mature, feature rich technology that has become the de facto standard in intrusion detection and prevention. Recent advances in both the rules language and detection capabilities offer the most flexible and accurate threat detection available, making Snort the "heavyweight" champion of intrusion prevention.

Icon Tor 0.1.2.19

Tor: An anonymous Internet communication system
Tor is a toolset for a wide range of organizations and people that want to improve their safety and security on the Internet. Using Tor can help you anonymize web browsing and publishing, instant messaging, IRC, SSH, and other applications that use the TCP protocol. Tor also provides a platform on which software developers can build new applications with built-in anonymity, safety, and privacy features.
Your traffic is safer when you use Tor, because communications are bounced around a distributed network of servers, called onion routers. Instead of taking a direct route from source to destination, data packets on the Tor network take a random pathway through several servers that cover your tracks so no observer at any single point can tell where the data came from or where it's going. This makes it hard for recipients, observers, and even the onion routers themselves to figure out who and where you are. Tor's technology aims to provide Internet users with protection against "traffic analysis," a form of network surveillance that threatens personal anonymity and privacy, confidential business activities and relationships, and state security.

Icon Tresor 2.2.2

Tresor is a file and folder encryption application for Macintosh. It combines high cryptographic security and ease of use. Integrated compression functions allow compression and encryption in a single pass, without any interim files. Filter functions allow you to automate complex encryption tasks without the use of risky scripts. Being developed outside the US, Tresor is available in all countries that allow cryptography.
Tresor encrypts the complete content of any file using IDEA block encryption. It takes a passphrase of arbitrary length and produces a 160-bit hash value using the Secure Hash Algorithm (SHA). It then takes 128 bits of this hash value, using them as the encryption key for IDEA. For decryption the same passphrase will be needed again.

icon Undercover 1.5


Installation
Upon installation, you'll receive an Undercover ID that's unique for the Mac you are installing.
Routine checks
When your Mac is online, Undercover checks our database every six minutes to verify whether the Mac it is running on is in our database of stolen Macs. If it's not, nothing happens and no data will be transfered from your Mac to our server.
In case of theft
As soon as your Mac is stolen, you send us the Undercover ID you received upon registration. We will add this code to our database of stolen Macs.
The first phase
The next time your stolen Mac goes online (using dial-up, WiFi, ethernet, Bluetooth, ...) it will notice that its Undercover ID is included in our database of stolen Macs. This will initiate the first phase, in which Undercover will send both network information and screenshots of your stolen Mac. The network information enables us to work with the network administrators of the ISP the thief is connected to. Since ISPs consider computer theft as network abuse, they will uncover the thief's identity. Together with law enforcement, we work to recover the Mac. If your Mac has a built-in iSight, or if the thief attached an external iSight, Undercover will send iSight pictures of the thief. Think of it as running Photo Booth in the background.
Plan B
If law enforcement fails to recover the stolen Mac, Undercover switches to plan B. In this mode, Undercover will simulate a screen failure, slowly making the Mac's screen unusable.

Icon xyzzy 1.0

Xyzzy is a pronounceable password generator. It is useful for network or server administrators that find themselves creating new user accounts on a regular basis and need to come up with passwords for them.
The reasons to use a pronounceable password generator such as xyzzy are simply because passwords based on dictionary words are easy to crack by brute force methods, and passwords which are hard to remember usually need to be written down which makes them vulnerable to being found by prying eyes.
The passwords generated by xyzzy are easy to remember because they are pronounceable (usually) and are more secure because they are not dictionary words. Occasionally one will slip through, but this is very rare (usually about 1 in every 1000).
