seccheck - Modular Security Checks for Solaris 10
seccheck is a modular (and hence highly extendable) set of
security checking scripts for the Solaris 10 platform. These
scripts will produce a highly detailed report, together with
recommendations on how to fix security issues.
Head to the project page for more
information.
JBoss login converter
This converter can be used to convert your JBoss JMX and WEB console
authentication from using HTTP BASIC auth to FORM based authentication.
This doesn't add encryption (it does if you configure https, obviously)
but does make the login page nice 'n' pretty ;-)
Download it here

Postfix SMTP Monitoring Solution

queue on my Postfix relay, allowing the deletion of messages
that for one reason or another become "stuck" in the queue.
Read more and grab the source code here.
Java Web Shell
A web based interactive shell-type
environment written in Java. Obviously, to use the shell, you'll
need to be using a browser that supports Java Applets, and this
has been compiled using the Sun 1.4.1 JDK. Head over to
Sun and pick up
the latest runtime enviroment if you don't already have it.
Try websh for yourself!
Grab a tarball of the latest
source if you wish.

C Programs
A UNIX site with no C? Of course not! You can view a few of my small C
programs here - most of them just used to test system calls, but there
are a couple of useful programs nethertheless (including a progress
indicator that can be called from shell scripts and a configuration
file reader).
Take me to the C!
perl_config
A configuration file parser writen in Perl that will form part of
other projects. This is the result of a couple of hours coding,
includes next-to-nothing in terms of syntax checking, so your
milage WILL vary! I thought I'd upload it incase it's of
use to someone!
Head over to the perl_config page for
more information.
sh_config
Yet another configuration file parser written using ksh. Again,
the "your milage will vary" disclaimer applies.... Saves sourcing
in files of commands, thus limiting the risk of running malicious
commands as they're sourced.
As always, you can view the sh_config page for further details and downloads.
Security Scripts
This is a temporary home for my BSSS (Basic System Security Suite) of
scripts - a project homepage will be set up as more scripts are added.

/etc/passwd. Sample output here.
