p0f performs passive OS detection by watching SYN packets with tcpdump. Additionally, it is able to determine distance to remote host, and can be used to determine the structure of a foreign or local network. When running on the gateway of a network it is able to gather huge amounts of data and provide useful statistics. On a user-end computer it could be used to track which operating systems are making each connection. p0f supports full tcpdump-style filtering expressions, and has an easily modified fingerprinting database. Tested on Linux, FreeBSD, OpenBSD, NetBSD, SunOS, and Solaris. This particular version is modified by Nerijus Krukauskas to store the data in a database.

alph implements and analyzes historical and traditional ciphers and codes, such as polyalphabetic, substitutional, and mixed employing human-reconstructable algorithms. It provides a pipe filter interface in order to encrypt and decrypt block text to achieve transparency. The program is meant to be used in conjunction with external programs that transfer data, resulting in transparent encryption or decryption of information. The program can thus be used as a mail filter, IRC filter, IM filter, and so on.
