    UACMe

    Defeating Windows user account control

    Run executable from command line, akagi32 [Key] [Param] or akagi64 [Key] [Param]. First parameter is a number of methods to use, second is an optional command (executable file name including full path) to run. The second parameter can be empty - in this case, the program will execute elevated cmd.exe from the system32 folder. Since 3.5.0 version all "fixed" methods are considered obsolete and removed altogether with all supporting code/units. If you still need them. This tool shows ONLY popular UAC bypass method used by malware, and re-implement some of them in a different way improving original concepts. There are different, not yet known to the general public, methods. This tool is not intended for AV tests and not tested to work in aggressive AV environment, if you still plan to use it with installed bloatware AV soft, use it at your own risk.

    Urbit

    Urbit

    An operating function

    Urbit is a personal server stack built from scratch. It has an identity layer (Azimuth), virtual machine (Vere), and operating system (Arvo). A running Urbit "ship" is designed to operate with other ships peer-to-peer. Urbit is a general-purpose, peer-to-peer computer and network. Urbit is for everyone, but sometimes it is easy to get lost in this universe. It solves the hard problems of implementing a peer-to-peer network (including identity, NAT traversal, and exactly-once delivery) in the kernel so app developers can focus on business logic. The entire OS is a single pure function that provides application developers with strong guarantees: automated persistence and memory management, repeatable builds, and support for hot code reloading. Urbit is a personal OS designed from scratch to run peer-to-peer applications. A clean-slate OS and network for the 21st century.

    next-scripting

    next-scripting

    Next Scripting Framework (NSF)

    The Next Scripting Framework (NSF) was developed based on the notion of language-oriented programming. The framework allows a language developer to work with multiple object systems on top of Tcl in a single workspace. The developer can benefit from a rich and extensible set of predefined functions (typically implemented in C) which can be registered for use on objects and classes in a given object system. NSF provides a tool box for defining dynamic, object-oriented, and domain-specific languages. NSF ships with 3 fully scripted language definitions, containing XOTcl 2 and the Next Scripting language NX. NX is a highly flexible and object-oriented scripting language. It is a descendant of XOTcl and was designed based on 10 years of experience with XOTcl in projects containing several hundred thousand lines of code. While XOTcl was the first language designed to provide language support for design patterns, NX adds language-oriented programming and higher safety.

    Criterion

    Criterion

    A cross-platform C and C++ unit testing framework for the 21st century

    Most test frameworks for C require a lot of boilerplate code to set up tests and test suites -- you need to create a main, then register new test suites, then register the tests within these suites, and finally call the right functions. This gives the user great control, at the unfortunate cost of simplicity. Criterion follows the KISS principle, while keeping the control the user would have with other frameworks. Supports parameterized tests and theories. Progress and statistics can be followed in real time with report hooks. TAP output format can be enabled with an option. Runs on Linux, FreeBSD, macOS, and Windows (Compiling with MinGW GCC and Visual Studio 2015+). If you'd like to see Criterion included in your favorite distribution, please reach out to their package maintainers team. A default entry point is provided, no need to declare a main unless you want to do special handling.

    AWS IoT Device Defender Library

    AWS IoT Device Defender Library

    Client library for using AWS IoT Defender service on embedded devices

    The Device Defender library enables you to send device metrics to the AWS IoT Device Defender Service. This library also supports custom metrics, a feature that helps you monitor operational health metrics that are unique to your fleet or use case. For example, you can define a new metric to monitor the memory usage or CPU usage on your devices. This library has no dependencies on any additional libraries other than the standard C library, and therefore, can be used with any MQTT client library. This library is distributed under the MIT Open Source License. This library has gone through code quality checks including verification that no function has a GNU Complexity score over 8, and checks against deviations from mandatory rules in the MISRA coding standard. Deviations from the MISRA C:2012 guidelines are documented under MISRA Deviations. This library has also undergone static code analysis using Coverity static analysis.

    BCC (BPF Compiler Collection)

    BCC (BPF Compiler Collection)

    Tools for BPF-based Linux IO analysis, networking, monitoring, etc.

    BCC is a toolkit that simplifies creating efficient kernel tracing, monitoring, and manipulation programs by leveraging extended Berkeley Packet Filters (eBPF). It includes a rich set of example tools and scripting interfaces in C, Python, and Lua. BCC makes BPF programs easier to write, with kernel instrumentation in C (and includes a C wrapper around LLVM), and front-ends in Python and lua. It is suited for many tasks, including performance analysis and network traffic control. With a BPF-specific frontend, one should be able to write in a language and receive feedback from the compiler on the validity as it pertains to a BPF backend. This toolkit aims to provide a frontend that can only create valid BPF programs while still harnessing its full flexibility.
