Big Brother Perl Module

Platform: Any / Perl
»»Download

This is a simple script to help people quickly write tests in perl for the BigBrother monitoring system.

This release also includes example code for testing SMTP and WAN links.

Page Checker- a simple page watcher script

Platform: Any/Perl
»»Download

This is a simple script that monitor web URL's for changes.

If it can't access the URL (gets a 500 error or timeout), it will send a mail message to the administrator. If it gets the page, it does an MD5 hash of the page to create a fingerprint, and then compares the hash value to the value from the previous run. Before the hashing takes place, it checks each line of the file for well-known dynamically generated tokens- viewstates, session ID's, etc.

If a change is detected, a DIFF between this version and the previous one is performed and the differences are mailed to an administrator. We've found this to be a handy way to tell when people are pushing changes to CMS-driven websites, and also work as a light-weight monitoring system.

PJScreenCap

Platform: Windows / .NET 1.1
»»Download

This is a simple screen capture program / utility. Here's how to use it:

1. Arrange your windows how you want them (if you have two monitors, it only works on your primary, sorry!)
2. Click the Grab Screen button
3. The window and your cursor will go away for a few seconds
4. They'll come back with a small thumbnail of your desktop
5. If you like it, click the save button.
6. It uses the file extension to choose how to save your picture- it currently supports png, gif, bmp, and jpeg

It's pretty limited, but it's A) Free and B) 32Kb in size. So go nuts.

Windows Executable, requires the .NET 1.1 framework.
