The Jars Browser is a simple free Swing application for browsing a set of jar files.
It scans a directory or a Java archive (Jar, EAR, WAR) to answer these simple questions:

• In which Jar/WAR/EAR this class file is located ?
• Is this class contained in multiple Jars ?

It helps resolving classpath problems as well as sealing violation issues when different versions of a class are contained in multiple Jars.

The Jar Browser is a simple Swing app for browsing a set of jar files.

• Browse all the jars from a directory tree, or from the CLASSPATH
• Search for classes by name across a set of jars
• Decompile classes from within a jar
• Search for text within decompiled class listing

This is a sequel to my previous article on SMPP Library. Here are additional free and open source solutions.

smppapi

smppapi is an Java implementation of the Short Message Peer to Peer (SMPP) protocol. SMPP is used by applications to communicate with Service Centres to send and receive short messages to & from mobile devices.

The current implementation (0.3.x) supports versions 3.3 and 3.4 of the specification. Work has begun on implementing version 5.0 of the specification.

The smppapi supports communication over the TCP/IP protocol but is extensible, allowing other network implementations to be added.

The smppapi is released under the Lesser GPL.

Easy SMPP

Easy SMPP is a SMPP protocol library for fast and easy SMSC(Short Message Service Centre) client development even for non-telecom guys. Easy to use classes covers all needed functionality for SMS applications developers and Content Providers. Written for .NET 2.0 in C#.

RoaminSMPP

RoaminSMPP is a SMPP library written in C#. Intended to be fully SMPP v3.4 compliant and extensible for future versions of the spec.

smppclient

smppclient is a SMPP v 3.4 protocol implementation written in Java. High configurable, with comprehensive documentation and very easy to use. Look at Wiki for examples.

DevShock

This is another SMPP library that can be downloaded here.

OSERL

OSERL (Open SMPP Erlang Library) is an erlang implementation of the Short Message Peer to Peer protocol.

Short Message Peer to Peer (SMPP) protocol is an open, industry standard designed to provide a flexible data communications interface for the transfer of short message data between External Short Message Entities (ESME), Routing Entities (RE) and Message Centers (MC). OSERL is an open source library that comprises the entire specification of the recently released SMPP version 5.0 (February 20th, 2003). Moreover, thanks to an appropriated design, any future and previous version of the protocol are also directly supported by OSERL.

Sprache is a small library for constructing parsers directly in C# code.

It isn’t an "industrial strength" framework – it fits somewhere in between regular expressions and a full-blown toolset like ANTLR.

Unlike most parser-building frameworks, you use Sprache directly from your program code, and don’t need to set up any build-time code generation tasks.

A simple parser might parse a sequence of characters:

   1: // Parse any number of capital 'A's in a row

   2: var parseA = Parse.Char('A').AtLeastOnce();

Sprache provides a number of built-in functions that can make bigger parsers from smaller ones, often callable via Linq query comprehensions:

   1: Parser<string> identifier =

   2:             from leading in Parse.Whitespace.Many()

   3:             from first in Parse.Letter.Once()

   4:             from rest in Parse.LetterOrDigit.Many()

   5:             from trailing in Parse.Whitespace.Many()

   6:             select new string(first.Concat(rest).ToArray());

   7:  

   8: var id = identifier.Parse(" abc123  ");

   9:  

  10: Assert.AreEqual("abc123", id);

   5:           mItem.SaveAs("C:\\temp\tmp.rtf",Outlook.OlSaveAsType.olRTF);

   6:           wordApp = new MsWord.Application();

   7:           doc = (MsWord.Document)wordApp.Documents.Open(ref filepath,ref missing,ref openRead,ref missing,ref missing,ref missing,ref missing,ref missing,ref missing,ref missing,ref missing,ref visible,ref missing,ref missing,ref missing,ref missing);

   9:           doc.ActiveWindow.Selection.CopyAsPicture();

  10:           bm =(Bitmap)Clipboard.GetDataObject().GetData(typeof(Bitmap));

  11:           bm.Save("C:\\temp\bitmap.bmp");

SlideControl is a .NET container control that manages presentation slides and offers a pleasing slide-effect when switching between slides. SlideControl has a built-in backtracking-stack that remembers slides visited and unrolls these actions on demand.

SlideControl is built with simplicity in mind:

SlickInterface.SlideControl is a container control that is placed on your Form and allows the addition of slides. A slide is a class that inherits from SlickInterface.Slide. Since SlickInterface.Slide itself is a UserControl you can use the designer to change its appearance.

Once the SlickInterface.SlideControl is in place and slides have been designed, they are added to the control

OpenBTS is an open-source Unix application that uses the Universal Software Radio Peripheral (USRP) to present a GSM air interface ("Um") to standard GSM handset and uses the Asterisk software PBX to connect calls. The combination of the ubiquitous GSM air interface with VoIP backhaul could form the basis of a new type of cellular network that could be deployed and operated at substantially lower cost than existing technologies in greenfields in the developing world.

In plain language, we are working on a new kind of cellular network that can be installed and operated at about 1/10 the cost of current technologies, but that will still be compatible with most of the handsets that are already in the market. This technology can also be used in private network applications (wireless PBX, rapid deployment, etc.) at much lower cost and complexity than conventional cellular.

The Netwide Assembler, NASM, is an 80×86 and x86-64 assembler designed for portability and modularity. It supports a range of object file formats, including Linux and *BSD a.out, ELF, COFF, Mach-O, Microsoft 16-bit OBJ, Win32 and Win64. It will also output plain binary files. Its syntax is designed to be simple and easy to understand, similar to Intel’s but less complex. It supports all currently known x86 architectural extensions, and has strong support for macros.

The Netwide Assembler grew out of an idea on comp.lang.asm.x86 (or possibly alt.lang.asm – I forget which), which was essentially that there didn’t seem to be a good free x86-series assembler around, and that maybe someone ought to write one.

• a86 is good, but not free, and in particular you don’t get any 32-bit capability until you pay. It’s DOS only, too.
• gas is free, and ports over to DOS and Unix, but it’s not very good, since it’s designed to be a back end to gcc, which always feeds it correct code. So its error checking is minimal. Also, its syntax is horrible, from the point of view of anyone trying to actually write anything in it. Plus you can’t write 16-bit code in it (properly.)
• as86 is specific to Minix and Linux, and (my version at least) doesn’t seem to have much (or any) documentation.
• MASM isn’t very good, and it’s (was) expensive, and it runs only under DOS.
• TASM is better, but still strives for MASM compatibility, which means millions of directives and tons of red tape. And its syntax is essentially MASM’s, with the contradictions and quirks that entails (although it sorts out some of those by means of Ideal mode.) It’s expensive too. And it’s DOS-only.

cedarsoft Serialization offers version aware serialization of java object trees with maximum control. Its goal is to provide some simple classes (very small framework) that enables rapid development of versioned serialization.

cedarsoft Serialization contains a plain interface that is implemented in several ways. The most commonly used backend implementation is based on Stax. This offers high performance serialization to XML. While offering maximum control to the developer the base classes contain most of the boiler plate code and offer a nice way to reuse the serializers.

There exist several backends that can be used. The most commonly used backend is Stax/Stax-Mate.

   1: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

   2: <?format 2.0.1?>

   3: <businessObject>

   4:   <name>theName</name>

ILMerge is a utility for merging multiple .NET assemblies into a single .NET assembly. It works on executables and DLLs alike and comes with several options for controlling the processing and format of the output. See the accompanying documentation for details.

ILMerge is a utility that can be used to merge multiple .NET assemblies into a single assembly. ILMerge takes a set of input assemblies and merges them into one target assembly. The first assembly in the list of input assemblies is the primary assembly. When the primary assembly is an executable, then the target assembly is created as an executable with the same entry point as the primary assembly. Also, if the primary assembly has a strong name, and a .snk file is provided, then the target assembly is re-signed with the specified key so that it also has a strong name.

ILMerge is packaged as a console application. But all of its functionality is also available programmatically.

There are several options that control the behavior of ILMerge. See the documentation that comes with the tool for details.

ILMerge runs in the v2.0 .NET Runtime, but it is also able to merge v1 or v1.1 assemblies. However it can merge PDB files only for v2 assemblies.
Currently, ILMerge works only on Windows-based platforms. It does not yet support Rotor or Mono.

AirProbe is the new home of the former GSM-Sniffer project. The goal is to build an air-interface analysis tool for the GSM (and possible later 3G) mobile phone standard. The prime motivation is to learn the details of the technology, help people who develop other open GSM technology (like OpenBTS, OpenMoko?, BS11/OpenBSC and others) and demonstrate the insecurity of the current standard.

AirProbe is divided into three main subprojects: Acquisition, Demodulation and Analysis.

Acquisition The Acquisition module is hardware dependent and contains everything that has to do with receiving and digitizing the air interface. This is the part that needs to be rewritten for different receiver hardware, so it should be kept small and limited to the necessary functions. Most parts should be inherited from GNURadio, to keep workload limited.

DeModulation The Demodulation module contains all necessary code to make bits out of the signal captured by Acquisition. It is in principle hardware independent, but should be open to use DSPs is desired.

Analysis This module contains all the protocol parsing and decoding. Wireshark can be used to handle parts of the visualisation and UI tasks. An important part of the Analysis module is non-realtime A5 DeCryption based on a generic fast CPU. Realtime or near-realtime A5 dercyption is not a goal of the project. For purposes of protocol analysis and demonstration of insecurities, non-realtime decryption is sufficient.

Gsmdecode is used to decode the gsm messages from the gammu trace log and a Nokia DCT3 mobile phone. Nokia used a simple remote logging facility for debugging their DCT3 firmwares remotely, but apparently forgot to remove this when going into production. So you can enable it back with a special software described below.
