Go gRPC Middleware
Golang gRPC Middlewares: interceptor chaining, auth, logging, retries
gRPC Go has support for "interceptors", i.e. middleware that is executed either on the gRPC Server before the request is passed onto the user's application logic, or on the gRPC client either around the user call. It is a perfect way to implement common patterns: auth, logging, tracing, metrics, validation, retries, rate limiting, and more, which can be great generic building blocks that make it easy to build multiple microservices. Especially for observability signals (logging, tracing, metrics) interceptors offer semi-auto-instrumentation that improves the consistency of your observability and allows great correlation techniques (e.g. exemplars and trace ID in logs). Demo-ed in examples. This repository offers ready-to-use middleware that implements gRPC interceptors with examples. In some cases, dedicated projects offer great interceptors, so this repository skips those, and we link them in the interceptors list. -

openHAB Distribution
The binary distribution of openHAB
The open Home Automation Bus (openHAB) project aims to provide a universal integration platform for all things around home automation. It is a pure Java solution, fully based on OSGi. It is designed to be vendor-neutral as well as hardware/protocol-agnostic. openHAB brings together different bus systems, hardware devices, and interface protocols by dedicated bindings. These bindings send and receive commands and status updates on the openHAB event bus. This concept allows designing user interfaces with a unique look&feel, but with the possibility to operate devices based on a big number of different technologies. Besides the user interfaces, it also brings the power of automation logic across different system boundaries. -

gditools
A Python program/library aimed at GD-ROM image files.
This Python program/library is designed to handle GD-ROM image (GDI) files. It can be used to list files, extract data, generate sorttxt file, extract bootstrap (IP.BIN) file and more. This project can be used in standalone mode, in interactive mode or as a library in another Python program (check the 'addons' folder to learn how). For your convenience, you can use the gditools.py GUI program supplied in the Files section (optional). To use this project you must install the Python 2.7.x branch release binaries. See the README.TXT file for more informations. -

eBus
Publish/Subscribe, Request/Reply Messaging API for Java.
A Java middleware API supporting broker-less, type+topic-based publish/subscribe and request/reply messaging for both intra- and inter-application, object-level communication. Broker-less: messages are transmitted directly between eBus applications. There is no message broker (i.e. server) in between. Type+topic addressing: eBus clients subscribe to a message class (type) and message topic, providing stronger typing than just topic-based subscriptions. Object-level communication: eBus delivers messages directly to client objects, not to a client process. -

Recursive LDD
Recursive implementation of List Dynamic Dependencies (LDD)
Recursive LDD (recursive-ldd) is a Perl script that allows displaying a tree-like hierarchy of shared library dependencies. The script calls on the standard Linux ldd utility in a recursion for every listed binary and library. It completes running when no matches are found in the current branch. It can also print unique values only as well as environment variables that affect the loading of libraries: LD_LIBRARY_PATH and LD_PRELOAD. Same limitations to standard ldd apply. Recursive-ldd cannot check libraries without read permissions. -

Unix GNU Windows
Packages to create a Unix like environment under MS-Windows
At this point this project is mainly wpkg which is a replica of dpkg and apt-get that works under Microsoft Windows and Unices. Since version 0.7.0 it works very nicely as it includes most of the important functionality of dpkg (i.e. most everything except dselect functions.) Otherwise, the Unix GNU Windows is expected to be a large set of packages that wpkg can handle. Packages of all the software available under MinGW and GnuWin32 so you can painlessly build a complete Unix like environment under Microsoft Windows. -

Very fast classes for working with Dynamic Arrays in Delphi and C++
(New version 1.04 is released) Dynamic Arrays is a set of useful very fast classes for data manipulating in memory. Flexible memory control, functionality that standard containers do not have, fast operations (assembler implementation for x86 and x64 platforms). Available for Delphi all latest versions and for C++. Powerful Hash and Double Hash classes to work with pairs of values (key and value) and with values that have two keys (key1, key2, value). Give it a try and let me know how it works. -

libnfdump
Library for reading nfdump files
libnfdump provides simple API for reading files generated by nfdump tools. NOTICE: This is very first, experimental, version of the library. API will probably change in future versions. The library is based on slightly modified source codes of nfdump v1.6.12. It supports reading and filtering of flow records exactly as nfdump does. Aggregation, statistics and writing of new files is not supported yet. In addition to nfdump, the library allows to use several filters at once, in one pass over a file, which may reduce number of disk accesses significantly in many applications. Please, report any issues to ibartosv@fit.vutbr.cz. -

multiOTP open source
PHP strong authentication library, web interface & CLI, OATH certified
multiOTP is a PHP class, a powerful command line utility and a web interface developed by SysCo systèmes de communication sa in order to provide a completely free and easy operating system independent server side implementation for strong two factors authentication solution. multiOTP supports hardware and software tokens with different One-Time Password algorithms like OATH/HOTP, OATH/TOTP and mOTP (Mobile-OTP). QRcode generation is also embedded in order to support provisioning of Google Authenticator software tokens. SMS code sending is currently implemented for several providers (ASPSMS, Clickatell and IntelliSMS). The data storage of the command line utility is by default flat files based in order to simplify deployment in a few minutes, but MySQL backend is supported too. multiOTP can be easily integrated in RADIUS servers like FreeRADIUS under Linux/Windows or TekRADIUS LT under Windows. multiOTP is also the engine of the credential provider multiOTP Credential Provider.
