NetBSD Integrations

Asterisk is an open-source framework for building communication applications. Asterisk transforms an ordinary computer into a communications host. Asterisk powers IPPBX systems, VoIP gateways and conference servers, as well as other custom solutions. It can be used by small and large businesses, call centres, carriers, government agencies, and other agencies worldwide. Asterisk is open-source and free. Sangoma sponsors Asterisk. Today, more than 1 million Asterisk-based communication systems are in use in more than 170 nations. Nearly all Fortune 1000 customers use Asterisk. Asterisk is most commonly used by system integrators or developers. It can be used to create a complete business telephone system, enhance an existing system, or bridge between systems.

pkgsrc, which currently contains over 17,900 packages, is a framework to manage third-party software on UNIX systems. It is the default package manger of NetBSD, SmartOS and can be used for allowing freely available software to be easily built on a large number other UNIX-like platforms. The binary packages produced by pkgsrc are easily used without the need to compile any source code. It can be used to enhance the software on an existing computer. pkgsrc has many configuration options and is flexible. It supports building packages for an arbitrary prefix, allowing multiple branches on one machine, a build options Framework, and a compiler transform framework. Installation and unprivileged use are also supported. NetBSD already has the tools to use pkgsrc. On other platforms, you will need to bootstrap the pkgsrc package management tools.

Rudix is a target for macOS (previously known as Mac OS X). It has minor support for OpenBSD and FreeBSD. The "ports" build system, also known as "ports", provides step-by-step instructions to create third-party software entirely from source code. Rudix is more than a ports framework. It also includes packages and precompiled software that can be downloaded in a format (files *.pkg). This allows for easy installation on your Mac. Visit us at GitHub/rudix/mac or our mirror at GitLab/rudix if you'd like to collaborate on the project. To submit bugs or request new features, use the GitHub issue tracker. Rudix is closely related to Fink, MacPorts and pkgsrc. Packages are built and tested on macOS Big Sur (Version 11 Intel only). ), Catalina, Version 10.15, and OS X El Capitan, Version 10.11. Each package is self-contained, and contains everything it needs to function. Binaries, libraries, documentation, and other files will be installed under /usr/local/.

Pygame is a collection of Python modules that can be used to create video games. Pygame is an extension of the SDL library. This allows you create full-featured games and multimedia programs using the python programming language. Pygame is portable and can be used on almost every platform and operating system. Pygame is completely free. Pygame is free and open-source. You can use it to create commercial, freeware, shareware, or open-source games. Dual-core CPUs are common and 8-core CPUs easily available on desktop systems, multi-core CPUs allow you to do more with your game. Select pygame functions will release the dreaded Python GIL. This is something you can do with C code. Optimized C and assembly code are used for core functions. C code is often 10-20x faster than Python code, while assembly code can easily be 100x faster than Python code. It is compatible with many operating systems. You just need to apt-get or emerge.

Dropbear is an SSH client and server that is small. It can be used on many Unix platforms. Dropbear is an open-source software distributed under an MIT license. Dropbear is especially useful for embedded Linux (or other Unix systems), such as wireless routers. Dropbear's mailing list is low-volume and allows you to be notified about new releases or to discuss Dropbear. Dropbear has a small memory footprint that is suitable for memory-constrained environments. Dropbear can compile to a 110kB statically linked binary with uClibc (only minimal options chosen). Dropbear server implements X11 Forwarding and authentication-agent for OpenSSH clients. To save space, the server, client and keygen can all be compiled into one binary (like busybox). Multi-hop mode uses SSH TCP Forwarding to tunnel through multiple SSH hosts with a single command.

It's easy and fun to communicate with remote servers via SSH. Muon is a graphical SSH Client. It features an enhanced SFTP file browser and SSH terminal emulator. It also has a remote resource/process manager. A server disk space analyzer, remote text editors, large remote log viewers, and many other useful tools that make it easy to work remotely. Muon offers functionality similar to web-based control panel but it works over SSH from a local computer. Therefore, no installation is necessary on the server. It works on both Linux and Windows. Muon has been tested on several Linux and UNIX servers such as CentOS, RHEL and OpenSUSE. It also works with NetBSD and NetBSD. This application is primarily for web/backend developers, who frequently deploy/debug code on remote servers. They are not comfortable with complex terminal-based commands. It could also be useful to sysadmins who manually manage many remote servers.

American fuzzy lop, a security-oriented fuzzer, uses a novel form of compile-time tooling and genetic algorithms to discover clean test cases that trigger internal states within the binary. This improves the functional coverage of the fuzzed codes. The compact corpora generated by the tool can also be used to seed other, more resource-intensive or labor-intensive testing regimes in the future. Afl-fuzz, in comparison to other instrumented fuzzers, is designed to be practical. It has a modest overhead, uses highly effective fuzzing techniques and effort minimization tricks. It requires little configuration and handles complex real-world use-cases, such as common image parsing and file compression libraries. It's an instrumentation-guided genetic fuzzer capable of synthesizing complex file semantics in a wide range of non-trivial targets.

Honggfuzz, a software fuzzer focusing on security, is available. Supports evolutionary feedback-driven fuzzing (SW and Hardware-based) based on code cover. Honggfuzz is multi-processed and multi-threaded. You don't need to run multiple instances of your fuzzer as it can unlock all of your CPU cores. The file corpus will be automatically shared and improved among all fuzzed process. When persistent fuzzing is used, it's lightning fast. A simple/empty LLVMFuzzerTestOneInput function can be tested with up to 1mo iteration per second on a relatively modern CPU. Honggfuzz has a track record of discovering security bugs. The only vulnerability (to date) in OpenSSL that received the critical score was discovered by Honggfuzz. It will report hijacked/ignored crashes signals (intercepted by a fuzzed application and potentially hidden).

Syzkaller is a kernel fuzzer that uses coverage to guide the fuzzing process. Supports FreeBSD Fuchsia gVisor Linux, NetBSD OpenBSD and Windows. Initially, syzkaller focused on Linux kernel fuzzing, but it is now being extended to other OS kernels. When syzkaller detects a crash in a VM, it will start the process to reproduce the crash. It will, by default, use 4 VMs in order to reproduce the crash. Then it will minimize the program which caused the crash. This could stop the fuzzing as all the VMs may be busy reproducing crashes. The time it takes to reproduce a crash can vary from a few seconds up to an entire hour, depending on how easily reproducible the crash is or if it cannot be reproduced at all.

The smartmontools package includes two utility programs (smartctl & smartd) that control and monitor storage systems by using the self monitoring, analysis and reporting technology built into modern ATA/SATA and SCSI/SAS disks. These utilities can provide an early warning of disk failure and degradation in many cases. Smartmontools is a Linux smartsuite package that was originally derived. It supports ATA/SATA disks, SCSI/SAS and NVMe tape devices, as well as SCSI/SAS disks. It should work on any modern Linux system, including FreeBSD and NetBSD. It also runs on Solaris, Windows, Cygwin OS/2, eComStation, QNX, and Darwin (macOS). Smartmontools is also available from a variety of live CDs/DVDs.
