TaskExplorer
Powerful system task manager
TaskExplorer is a powerful system task-manager / process-inspector tool designed for Windows that goes well beyond the capabilities of the built-in Task Manager. It provides real-time insights into running processes, threads, open handles, network sockets, memory usage, modules loaded, and more — all in a unified, fast, and efficient GUI. Rather than scattering information across tabs or dialogs, TaskExplorer displays detailed data in a panel layout: when you select a process, the lower panel updates dynamically to show relevant info (threads, handles, sockets, modules, etc.), making deep inspection quick and intuitive. It includes advanced panels: a Thread Panel with stack traces (helpful for diagnosing deadlocks or hangs), a Memory Panel that lets you view or even edit process memory (with search capabilities), a Socket Panel showing open network connections, data rates, pseudo-UDP connections (via ETW), and a Modules Panel listing all loaded DLLs and memory-mapped files. -

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. -

Mail-in-a-Box
Take back control of your email with this mail server in a box
Mail-in-a-Box helps individuals take back control of their email by defining a one-click, easy-to-deploy SMTP+everything else server, a mail server in a box. Mail-in-a-Box lets you become your own mail service provider in a few easy steps. It’s sort of like making your own gmail, but one you control from top to bottom. Technically, Mail-in-a-Box turns a fresh cloud computer into a working mail server. But you don’t need to be a technology expert to set it up. Our goals are to make deploying a good mail server easy, promote decentralization, innovation, and privacy on the web, have automated, auditable, and idempotent configuration, not make a totally unhackable, NSA-proof server, and not make something customizable by power users. Mail-in-a-Box turns a fresh Ubuntu 18.04 LTS 64-bit machine into a working mail server by installing and configuring various components. It is a one-click email appliance. There are no user-configurable setup options. It "just works." -
