Assword is a secure password manager that relies on your OpenPGP key for security and is designed to integrate in a minimal fashion into any X11 window manager.

Passwords and context strings are stored in a single OpenPGP-encrypted and signed file (meaning entry contexts are not exposed to the filesystem). Along with a simple command-line interface, there is a streamlined GUI meant for X11 window manager integration. When invoked, the GUI produces a prompt to search stored contexts. New entries can also easily be created. Passwords are securely retrieved without displaying on the screen. Multiple retrieval methods are available, including auto-typing them directly into an X11 window (default), or inserting them into the X11 clipboard.

haveged is a userspace entropy daemon which is not dependent upon the standard mechanisms for harvesting randomness for the system entropy pool. This is important in systems with high entropy needs or limited user interaction (e.g. headless servers).

haveged uses HAVEGE (HArdware Volatile Entropy Gathering and Expansion) to maintain a 1M pool of random bytes used to fill /dev/random whenever the supply of random bits in dev/random falls below the low water mark of the device.

More information about HAVEGE is available at http://www.irisa.fr/caps/projects/hipsor/

KeePassX is a free/open-source password manager or safe which helps you to manage your passwords in a secure way. You can put all your passwords in one database, which is locked with one master key or a key-disk. So you only have to remember one single master password or insert the key-disk to unlock the whole database. The databases are encrypted using the algorithms AES or Twofish.

Metadata consist of information that characterizes data. Metadata are used to provide documentation for data products. In essence, metadata answer who, what, when, where, why, and how about every facet of the data that are being documented.

Metadata within a file can tell a lot about you. Cameras record data about when a picture was taken and what camera was used. Office documents like PDF or Office automatically adds author and company information to documents and spreadsheets.

Maybe you don't want to disclose those information on the web.

Mat only removes metadata from your files, it does not anonymise their content, nor can it handle watermarking, steganography, or any too custom metadata field/system.

If you really want to be anonym, use format that does not contain any metadata, or better: use plain-text.

Formats supported to some extent are:

• Portable Network Graphics (PNG)
• JPEG (.jpeg, .jpg, ...)
• Open Document (.odt, .odx, .ods, ...)
• Office Openxml (.docx, .pptx, .xlsx, ...)
• Portable Document Fileformat (.pdf)
• Tape ARchive (.tar, .tar.bz2, .tar.gz)
• ZIP (.zip)
• MPEG Audio (.mp3, .mp2, .mp1, .mpa)
• Ogg Vorbis (.ogg)
• Free Lossless Audio Codec (.flac)
• Torrent (.torrent)

The Monkeysphere Validation Agent offers a local service for tools to validate certificates (both X.509 and OpenPGP) and other public keys.

This package contains a perl implementation of a Monkeysphere Validation Agent.

Nautilus Wipe is a Nautilus extension that adds "Securely erase" and "Securely fill empty space" items to the right-click menu.

The progress and results of the operations are shown in a progress dialog.

pwgen generates random, meaningless but pronounceable passwords. These passwords contain either only lowercase letters, or upper and lower case mixed, or digits thrown in. Uppercase letters and digits are placed in a way that eases remembering their position when memorizing only the word.

Gutmann method based tools for securely wiping data from files, free disk space, swap and memory: srm, sfill, sswap and sdmem.
