The list of useful open source / free software

Trilead VM Explorer
Great software for backup and management of virtual machines. The free version has no scheduler but works also as hot-backup software (backup machines while running). And most important: works with free version of ESXi!!!

ZeroShell
Linux based firewall distro with many features (DNS, QoS, RADIUS, OpenVPN, ...) that I use because it can manage WAN failover and loadbalance but most important can handle 3G modem connections (that I must use to failover since I don't have any other option)

GLPI
GLPI is the Information Resource-Manager with an additional Administration- Interface. You can use it to build up a database with an inventory for your company (computer, software, printers...). It has enhanced functions to make the daily life for the administrators easier, like a job-tracking-system with mail-notification and methods to build a database with basic information about your network-topology.

Any suggestion for a sub. for truecrypt that does whole dive protection for a USB? The drive has to be able to be open on any OS (linux, Mac Windows).

Also, best way to wipe a USB flash. I know DBAN is not effective for this as flash works differently. Besides physical destruction. I use MS and Mint. Free also please.

Thanks!

Any suggestions for software to format/read the exported json files from Untangle? Exported some Alerts recently and having a hard time deciphering it. Need something that can make it more user friendly to read.

Thanks! What extension is recommended to add to VSCode for viewing .json Untangle Alert exports?

I just use it stock. But if you want something to get it out of that flat line... you'll need to "unminify" it.

That's what this thing is for: https://stedolan.github.io/jq/

This will make minified json pretty

jq "." <file> >> outfile.json

This will make json minified

jq "." -c <file> >> outfile.json

There may be an extension that does this within Code... but I'm unaware of it.

P.S. Watch those text file carriage return differences between OSs!

I remember a quote from the early days of ethernet via coax...

"The only thing good about a network is... You can tell what PCs had been stolen over the weekend."
