The Sleuth Kit and Autopsy are both Open Source and run on UNIX platforms. As Autopsy is HTML-based, the investigator can connect to the Autopsy server from any platform using an HTML browser. Autopsy provides a "File Manager"-like interface and shows details about deleted data and file system structures. |
| basesystem | 10.0 | GPL | The skeleton package which defines a simple Mandrake Linux system. | Basesystem defines the components of a basic Mandrake Linux system (for example, the package installation order to use during bootstrapping). Basesystem should be the first package installed on a system, and it should never be removed. |
| common-licenses | 1.0 | GPL | Contains the various common licenses uses by the distribution | Contains the various common licenses uses by the distribution. Instead of including the COPYING file in every package, just refer to this one. |
| coreutils | 5.1.2 | GPL | The GNU core utilities: a set of tools commonly used in shell scripts | These are the GNU core utilities. This package is the union of the old GNU fileutils, sh-utils, and textutils packages. These tools're the GNU versions of common useful and popular file & text utilities which are used for: - file management - shell scripts - modifying text file (spliting, joining, comparing, modifying, ...) Most of these programs have significant advantages over their Unix counterparts, such as greater speed, additional options, and fewer arbitrary limits. The following tools're included: basename cat chgrp chmod chown chroot cksum comm cp csplit cut date dd df dir dircolors dirname du echo env expand expr factor false fmt fold ginstall groups head hostid hostname id join kill link ln logname ls md5sum mkdir mkfifo mknod mv nice nl nohup od paste pathchk pinky pr printenv printf ptx pwd readlink rm rmdir seq sha1sum shred sleep sort split stat stty su sum sync tac tail tee test touch tr true tsort tty uname unexpand uniq unlink uptime users vdir wc who whoami yes |
| cpu | 1.4.3 | GPL | Ldap aware command like useradd, userdel, usermod and others | CPU is an LDAP user management tool written in C and loosely based on FreeBSD's pw(8). The goal of CPU is to be a suitable replacement of the useradd/usermod/userdel utilities for administrators using an LDAP backend and wishing to have a suite of command line tools for doing the administration. |
| embutils | 0.16 | GPL | Small system utilities for embedded systems | Most of the typical Unix userland typically comes from either the GNU project or the BSD people. Those sources are ancient and optimized for features, not for small size, and now that computers are fast enough and have lots of RAM, implementations became larger and larger. Features like internationalization eat lots of memory and disk space. For embedded system and boot disks (and desktops and servers for purist Unix users), you rather want small than internationalized versions of the utilities. That's why I started to reimplement a few important typical userland programs that I need on boot and rescue disks, making sure that you can link it against diet libc to create very small statically linked binaries. |
| etcskel | 1.63 | Public Domain | Mandrake Linux default files for new users' home directories | The etcskel package is part of the basic Mandrake system. Etcskel provides the /etc/skel directory's files. These files are then placed in every new user's home directory when new accounts are created. |

| info-install | 4.6 | GPL | Program to update the GNU texinfo documentation main page. | The GNU project uses the texinfo file format for much of its documentation. The info package provides a standalone TTY-based browser program for viewing texinfo files. |
| initscripts | 7.06 | GPL | The inittab file and the /etc/init.d scripts. | The initscripts package contains the basic system scripts used to boot your Mandrakelinux system, change run levels, and shut the system down cleanly. Initscripts also contains the scripts that activate and deactivate most network interfaces. |
| iputils | 20020927 | BSD | Network monitoring tools including ping. | The iputils package contains ping, a basic networking tool. The ping command sends a series of ICMP protocol ECHO_REQUEST packets to a specified network host and can tell you if that machine is alive and receiving network traffic. ipv6calc is a small utility which formats and calculates IPv6 addresses in different ways. It extends the existing address detection on IPv6 initscript setup or make life easier in adding reverse IPv6 zones to DNS or using in DNS queries like nslookup -q=ANY `ipv6calc -r 3ffe:400:100:f101::1/48` See also here for more details: http://www.bieringer.de/linux/IPv6/ |

If your network uses Kerberos, this package should be installed on every workstation. |
| lads | 0.8 | GPL | Login anomaly detection system | LADS detects anomalies in login/logout. |
| ldconfig | 2.3.3 | LGPL | Creates a shared library cache and maintains symlinks for ld.so | Ldconfig is a basic system program which determines run-time link bindings between ld.so and shared libraries. Ldconfig scans a running system and sets up the symbolic links that are used to load shared libraries properly. It also creates a cache (/etc/ld.so.cache) which speeds the loading of programs which use shared libraries. |
| ld.so1 | 1.9.11 | GPL | The Linux dynamic linker, library and utilities. | The dynamic linker provides the user-level support for loading and linking DLL and ELF shared libraries. It is required by any program that uses shared libraries. This package provides the version 1.9.11 of the loader ld-linux.so.1 for backward compatibility of old libc.5 binary applications. |

| lsb | 1.3 | GPL | The skeleton package defining packages needed for LSB compliance. | The skeleton package defining packages needed for LSB compliance. Also contains some directories LSB tests look for that aren't owned by other Mandrake packages, and scripts to re-create the old /sbin/fasthalt and /sbin/fastboot. Currently, to be able to run the LSB binary test suit successfully, you need to boot with devfs=nomount, as well as insure that the partitions containing /tmp and /home are mounted with the option 'atime', rather than 'noatime'. You should also note that using the fstab option 'acl' for Posix ACLs will generate 1 test failure. This is not enabled by default on Mandrake Linux. The user vsx0 needs to unset TMPDIR before running the tests. Also, before subsequent runs, root should run "groupdel vsx36; groupdel vsx39" as these groups don't get cleaned up by the test-suite. |
| lsb-release | 1.4 | GPL | Linux Standard Base tools | LSB version query program This program forms part of the required functionality of the LSB (Linux Standard Base) specification. The program queries the installed state of the distribution to display certain properties such as the version of the LSB against which the distribution claims compliance as well. It can also attempt to display the name and release of the distribution along with an identifier of who produces the distribution. |
| man | 1.5m2 | GPL | A set of documentation tools: man, apropos and whatis. | The man package includes three tools for finding information and/or documentation about your Linux system: man, apropos and whatis. The man system formats and displays on-line manual pages about commands or functions on your system. Apropos searches the whatis database (containing short descriptions of system commands) for a string. Whatis searches its own database for a complete word. The man package should be installed on your system because it is the primary way for find documentation on a Mandrake Linux system. |
| mdk-menu-messages | 10.0 | GPL | Localization files for Menu system | This package includes that translations of the main menu used by the different desktops and window managers of the distribution; as well as translations used by specifically added features. |
| menu | 2.1.9 | GPL | Menu system | The intent of this package is to streamline the menu's. For this purpose, menu provides an "update-menus" command, that will read all installed menu files (as provided by other packages in /usr/lib/menu), and run the frontents for various window managers in /etc/menu-methods to create startup files for the window managers (or pdmenu). The user and system admin can easily override the menu files on a by-user or by-system bases. |
| mingetty | 1.06 | GPL | A compact getty program for virtual consoles only. | The mingetty program is a lightweight, minimalist getty program for use only on virtual consoles. Mingetty is not suitable for serial lines (you should use the mgetty program instead for that purpose). |
| mount | 2.12 | GPL | Programs for mounting and unmounting filesystems. | The mount package contains the mount, umount, swapon and swapoff programs. Accessible files on your system are arranged in one big tree or hierarchy. These files can be spread out over several devices. The mount command attaches a filesystem on some device to your system's file tree. The umount command detaches a filesystem from the tree. Swapon and swapoff, respectively, specify and disable devices and files for paging and swapping. |
| mountloop | 0.11.5 | GPL | Allow users to mount files via loopback | Allow users to mount encrypted loopback filesystems. |
| msec | 0.42.1 | GPL | Security Level management for the Mandrakelinux distribution | The Mandrakelinux-Security package is designed to provide generic secure level to the Mandrakelinux users...

| naiupdt | 0.4 | GPL | A small Perl script to automagicly update NAI VirusScan DAT files | This script will check the currently installed DAT file version, check the lastest version on the NAI ftp site and get and install the newer version if available. The script does lots of checking to see if the update failed. If run in $silent mode from CRON it will only produce output if things go wrong, or a new file is installed. |
| netprofile | 0.6.3 | GPL | Manage network profiles | Manage network profiles |
| passwd | 0.68 | BSD | The passwd utility for setting/changing passwords using PAM | The passwd package contains a system utility (passwd) which sets and/or changes passwords, using PAM (Pluggable Authentication Modules). To use passwd, you should have PAM installed on your system. |
| passwd-gen | 1.01a | GPL | Password generator | passwd-gen is a very powerful password generator written in C to help you choose a good password. It contains many options to help you customize your password. The program has been developed for Linux but may run on many other system (if you are using it from something else than linux, please contact the author). |
| prelink | 0.3.20031209 | GPL | An ELF prelinking utility | The prelink package contains a utility which modifies ELF shared libraries and executables, so that far less relocations need to be resolved at runtime and thus programs come up faster. |
| rootfiles | 9.1 | Public Domain | The basic required files for the root user's directory | The rootfiles package contains basic required files that are placed in the root user's account. These files are basically the same as the files found in the etcskel package, which are placed in regular users' home directories. |
| runit | 0.12.1 | BSD | A UN*X init scheme with service supervision | runit is a daemontools alike replacement for SysV-init and other init schemes. It currently runs on GNU/Linux, OpenBSD, FreeBSD, and can easily be adapted to other Unix operating systems. runit implements a simple three-stage concept. Stage 1 performs the system's one-time initialization tasks. Stage 2 starts the system's uptime services (via the runsvdir program). Stage 3 handles the tasks necessary to shutdown and halt or reboot. |
| shadow-utils | 4.0.3 | BSD | Utilities for managing shadow password files and user/group accounts | The shadow-utils package includes the necessary programs for converting UNIX password files to the shadow password format, plus programs for managing user and group accounts. The pwconv command converts passwords to the shadow password format. The pwunconv command unconverts shadow passwords and generates an npasswd file (a standard UNIX password file). The pwck command checks the integrity of password and shadow files. The lastlog command prints out the last login times for all users. The useradd, userdel and usermod commands are used for managing user accounts. The groupadd, groupdel and groupmod commands are used for managing group accounts. |
| socklog | 1.2.0 | BSD | A small and secure syslogd replacement for use with runit | socklog cooperates with the runit package to create a small and secure replacement for syslogd. socklog supports system logging through Unix domain sockets (/dev/log) and UDP sockets (0.0.0.0:514) with the help of runit's runsvdir, runsv, and svlogd. socklog provides a different network logging concept, and also does log event notification. svlogd has built in log file rotation based on file size, so there is no need for any cron jobs to rotate the logs. socklog is small, secure, and reliable. |
| sudo | 1.6.7 | GPL | Allows command execution as root for specified users. | Sudo is a program designed to allow a sysadmin to give limited root privileges to users and log root activity. The basic philosophy is to give as few privileges as possible but still allow people to get their work done. |
| timezone | 2.3.3 | LGPL | Time zone descriptions | These are configuration files that describe possible time zones. |
| up | 0.3 | GPL | Displays the uptime in a human readable format | up displays the uptime of the system accounting for decades, years, weeks, days, hours, and minutes.

| util-linux | 2.12 | GPL | A collection of basic system utilities | The util-linux package contains a large variety of low-level system utilities that are necessary for a Linux system to function. Among others, Util-linux contains the fdisk configuration tool and the login program. |
| which | 2.16 | GPL | Displays where a particular program in your path is located. | The which command shows the full pathname of a specified program, if the specified program is in your PATH. |
| xinetd | 2.3.13 | BSD | Xinetd is a powerful replacement for inetd. | xinetd is a powerful replacement for inetd. xinetd has access control machanisms, extensive logging capabilities, the ability to make services available based on time, and can place limits on the number of servers that can be started, among other things. xinetd has the ability to redirect TCP streams to a remote host and port. This is useful for those of that use ip masquerading, or NAT, and want to be able to reach your internal hosts. xinetd also has the ability to bind specific services to specific interfaces. This is useful when you want to make services available for your internal network, but not the rest of the world. Or to have a different service running on the same port, but different interfaces. |
| xinetd-ipv6 | 2.3.13 | BSD | Xinetd is a powerful replacement for inetd. | xinetd is a powerful replacement for inetd. xinetd has access control machanisms, extensive logging capabilities, the ability to make services available based on time, and can place limits on the number of servers that can be started, among other things. xinetd has the ability to redirect TCP streams to a remote host and port. This is useful for those of that use ip masquerading, or NAT, and want to be able to reach your internal hosts. xinetd also has the ability to bind specific services to specific interfaces. This is useful when you want to make services available for your internal network, but not the rest of the world. Or to have a different service running on the same port, but different interfaces. This version is compiled for IPV6. |
| xinetd-simple-services | 2.3.13 | BSD | Internal xinetd simple services | Internal xinetd simple services (not very useful one): - chargen Chargen is short for Character Generator and is a service that generates random characters either in one UDP packet containing a random number (between 0 and 512) of characters, or a TCP session. The UDP Chargen server looks for a UDP packet on port 19 and responds with the random character packet. With TCP Chargen, the server sends as a continuous stream of TCP packets once a connection is made, and until the session closes. The data is thrown away. Chargen is used to find the cause for dropped packets. It uses TCP/UDP port 19. An infiltrator can create a DoS attack by spoofing an IP address and causing two devices to send random traffic to each other. RFC 864 describes the Chargen service. - daytime The Daytime protocol is another testing tool and uses port 13 for both UDP and TCP versions. On receipt of a datagram to port 13, the server in the UDP version, sends the current date and time in ASCII format in a datagram. The TCP version, on receipt of a datagram to port 13, and once the connection is established, sends the date and time in ASCII format and closes the connection. RFC 867 describes the Daytime service. - echo Echo uses UDP and TCP port 7 and is used as a debgging tool to send any datagrams received from a source, back to that source. The risk with this is that someone who has access to the network can overload devices via the Echo service amounting to a DoS attack. RFC 862 describes the Echo service. - time - servers Show servers running - services Show available services - xadmin Show servers running and available services |
Logan High [Utah] students have adjusted well to Linux. “I have to turn off the light to let them know it’s time to go home,” says [Russell] Weeks, who runs the computer lab after school. “Sometimes their parents come in to get them.”
