So, I went through my bag of tricks today, which is basically just a random collection of more or less useful little applications and I'd like to share a few with y'all. Most of these are often forgotten and neglected programs which are quite helpful to have around at times. Many of you probably know of them, anyways.

 

These are in no particular order:

 

 

ProcessLibrary's Quicklink @ processlibrary.com/quicklink

Get the latest definitions and advice on all the processes running, directly in the Windows Task Manager.

Simple Static IP @ pcwintech.com/simple-static-ip

Simple Static IP is a free program to help users set their IP address to static with just a few clicks.

Mjpeg Surveillance @ brooksyounce.com/soft/mjpeg.htm

Designed to record video from a few, to hundreds of IP or DirectX cameras simultaneously. Instant Playback. Motion detection. etc.

Security & Privacy Complete @ cmia.backtrace.org/index_en.html

Security & Privacy Complete is mainly a security tool for Windows. It can disable all services which might be a security risk, harden registry settings... Also included privacy features for Internet Explorer, Media Player, and of course: Mozilla Firefox.

That's it for now, I might add more later on.

danburrito- Great Thread! I had the DNS Benchmark which is a truly great program, but I've downloaded and am waiting to try the DNS Performance Test! Keep 'em coming!

Maxx, did you take a look at the 1.5 gigapixel image? http://i66.photobucket.com/albums/h275/danburrito/IObit/Bag%20of%20tricks/artwork_vangogh_starrynight.jpg

 

 

Steve Gibson's DNS Benchmark is more technical than the DNS Performance Test, which just gives you an overall idea of how fast(slow) your current DNS server is.

KeyScrambler @ qfxsoftware.com

It encrypts your keystrokes at the keyboard driver level in the kernel, as they enter the computer.

It then decrypts the keystrokes at the destination application, so you see exactly the keys you've typed.

Whatever keylogger might be waiting along the path has only the encrypted keys — "scrambled" and indecipherable — to record.

KeyScrambler Personal (free version) delivers encryption for Internet Explorer, Firefox and Flock only.

You just can't do it justice on a computer monitor. Even my Dad's 2500 X 1600 Apple Cinema 30 would fall far short of rendering this in accurate detail not to mention the proliferation of compression artifacts created just to be able to fit it on our monitors even though I used only lossless image management procedures plus the 600X magnification of my Opera 10.1 browser.
