The OWASP ModSecurity Core Rule Set (CRS) is a curated, generic Web Application Firewall rule set that detects and blocks common attack categories across most web apps. It focuses on broad protection—SQL injection, cross-site scripting, local/remote file inclusion, command injection, and protocol violations—without requiring app-specific knowledge. Rules are organized into paranoia levels so operators can tune detection aggressiveness and balance false positives against coverage. An anomaly-scoring model accumulates rule hits per request, enabling nuanced blocking thresholds and easier incident triage. The project ships with extensive documentation, exclusion packages, and testing tools to help tailor deployment for frameworks, CDNs, and APIs. Deployed on engines such as ModSecurity or compatible WAFs, CRS is a widely used baseline for HTTP security in reverse proxies and gateways.

Nipe is a Perl-based engine whose primary aim is to make the Tor network act as the default gateway for outgoing traffic. In practice, it configures system firewall rules (iptables) and network routing so that almost all IPv4 traffic is redirected through Tor. The tool provides commands such as install, start, stop, restart, and status to manage its behavior. When “start” is issued, it sets up the necessary rules; when “stop” is used, it attempts to remove those rules. Nipe currently operates over IPv4 and does not yet support IPv6, meaning that users with IPv6 connectivity may bypass Tor routing. It includes a Dockerfile to facilitate containerized usage, requiring sufficient network capabilities (e.g. NET_ADMIN) inside the container. Behind the scenes, the code is modular: for instance, parts of the logic around installation and utility functions are separated into Perl modules (e.g. in lib/Nipe/Utils/Install.pm).

SortPhotos is a Python-based command-line utility that organizes photos and videos into structured directories based on their date and time metadata. It can sort files by year, month, day, or any custom format using EXIF and other metadata tags, making it easy to transform messy collections into neatly arranged photo libraries. The tool works with both images and videos, automatically renames files if desired, and can filter which metadata groups or tags to prioritize when determining file dates. SortPhotos includes options for copying versus moving files, recursive searches, silent or test modes, and customizable start times for when a “day” begins. It also prevents duplicate files by comparing content, with an option to keep duplicates if needed. With support for automation through launch agents or cron jobs, SortPhotos is well-suited for photographers, archivists, and anyone looking to streamline large personal or professional media collections.

File Read Test is a tool that reads disk files or directories and stops on the first read error. A second tool, Quick Disk Test, fills a disk with test data and verifies that it can be read back without errors.
