DebSync is a Python command line tool which helps to synchronize a bunch of Debian GNU/Linux machines with respect to the list of packages installed. DebSync retrieves the list of installed packages from a master host, and then installs or removes packages on any number of other hosts to make them have the very same installed packages list as the master host.

Firewall Builder consists of a GUI and set of policy compilers for various firewall platforms. It helps users maintain a database of objects and allows policy editing using simple drag-and-drop operations. The GUI and policy compilers are completely independent, and support for a new firewall platform can be added to the GUI without any changes to the program (only a new policy compiler is needed). This provides for a consistent abstract model and the same GUI for different firewall platforms. It currently supports iptables, ipfilter, and OpenBSD pf.

The Openwall Linux kernel patch is a collection of security "hardening" features for the Linux kernel. In addition to the new features, some versions of the patch contain various security fixes. The "hardening" features of the patch, while not a complete method of protection, provide an extra layer of security against the easier ways to exploit certain classes of vulnerabilities and/or reduce the impact of those vulnerabilities. The patch can also add a little bit more privacy to the system by restricting access to parts of /proc so that users may not see what others are doing.

Tape-Oriented Backup (tob) is a general driver for making and maintaining backups. Given a set of "volume definitions", it creates tar- or afio-based backups and stores them either to a device in /dev or a file in the filesystem (to be burned to optical media later). Through a straightforward configuration file, you can instruct tob to mount and unmount devices before beginning backups. tob supports full backups, differential backups (of the files which were changed since the last full backup), and incremental backups (of files changed since any previous backups). It lets you determine the size of the backup before actually making it, maintain lists of made backups, make remote backups, and more.
