some small hacks written by yours truly

here's some small hacks I've written primarily to make my life easier; it's mostly in perl.
if you're looking for EL33T HAQUOR T00LZ, go away, read up on the meaning of hack

this stuff is in the public domain (except when noted otherwise in the sources), I'm happily taking any bug fixes or enhancements you write.


DTMF decoder

this is the userspace version of the DTMF decoder I wrote years ago for isdn4linux. the paper on which I based my implementation of the Goertzel algorithm is here.


cmpp -- cm's HTML preprocessor

as www.awadalla.at, where I'm webmastering (to some degree), was getting bigger, vi and emacs alone weren't up to the task anymore, and the HTML generators and preprocessors I found on the net didn't provide what I needed. so I sat down and wrote my own.

here's the README and the program.

(hey, I'm even trusting my own pages to that thing!)


delayer -- delayed innfeeds

I'm collecting news peerings (for at.*, de.*, Usenet II and The Other Hierarchy; please mail me if you're interested), and I pay for traffic. so most of these peerings are delayed, making them backup feeds, effectively.

this is done with delayer, instructions are in the script.

I've got one report of delayer being a CPU hog on a machine with lots of traffic; if anybody can verify (and probably even fix :-) it, I'd be glad to hear from you...


rbllookup -- is a host on one of the MAPS style blacklists?

rbllookup searches all known (to me) blacklists (MAPS, ORBS, etc) for a given hostname or IP address.

remlist -- remailer config and ping tool (deprecated)

in the meantime I don't even use remlist myself anymore, I've switched to Echolot by Peter Palfrader.

if you use an older version, please upgrade to 0.2, it fixes two major bugs.

remlist collects remailer configs and keys, and additionally is a pinger, generating stats. it's an alpha version, but it works for me and generates the stats on this website. download. there's a version for windows NT/2K by disastry here.

requirements:

an alternative named rlist is available here.

another alternative is here.


shaper.sh -- my config for traffic shaping with linux

this is background material for the workshop I held at linuxwochen 2003 in Vienna.

the setup I'm using is:


nnrpd-ldap-auth -- LDAP authentication for INN's nnrpd

since there's no ready-to-use code out there, I wrote my own LDAP authentication thing for nnrpd.

nnrpd-ldap-auth-0.1.tar.gz
