Open Source File Transfer

24. WinSCP Replaces CuteFTP, FTP Commander
This utility makes it easy to transfer files using SFTP or SCP. It also includes a fairly basic file manager and FTP transfer capabilities. However, this is a file transfer client only—you can download files, but not set up your own FTP server. Operating System: Windows.
FileZilla transfers files via FTP, SFTP and FTPS. Unlike WinSCP, it also includes a (Windows-only) server version so you can set up your own secure file transfer server. Operating System: Windows, Linux, OS X.

Open Source Forensics

Short for "Open Digital Evidence Search and Seizure Architecture," ODESSA, incorporates a variety of tools for collecting and analyzing digital evidence. While the project hasn't been updated in a while, the tools continue to be helpful for analyzing Internet Explorer cookies and Windows files. Operating System: Windows, Linux, OS X.
This project offers a more robust set of forensic tools that run from the command line (The Sleuth Kit) or through a browser interface (Autopsy Browser). Both provide the user with detailed information about file systems, including deleted data. Operating System: Windows, Linux, OS X.

Open Source Gateway/Unified Threat Management Appliances

The Community version of Endian Firewall transforms any PC (even a pretty old one) into a Unified Threat Management (UTM) appliance that protects your network with a firewall, anti-virus, spam filtering, application level protection, content filtering, a ×××, and more. If you prefer, you can also buy a pre-configured hardware appliance that is based on the same open-source software. Operating System: Linux.
Untangle combines threat protection, network monitoring, and Web filtering capabilities into a single package. You can choose the open source package, one of several paid packages that include support, or you can download the open source virus blocker, spam blocker, firewall, Web filter, and other pieces separately. Operating System: Linux.
Developed by Clear Foundation, ClearOS's goal is to "ensure that every small organization and distributed IT environment on the globe can have proper security, filtration, and management tools." It includes anti-spam, anti-virus, ×××, and all the other features you'd expect, and it comes with an easy-to-use Web interface. Operating System: Linux.
Available as either a free open source download for up to five concurrent users or in an enterprise version for unlimited users, NetCop offers the same functions as Endian and Untangle and the commercial UTMs. However, it is not available as a pre-configured appliance. Operating System: Linux.

Open Source Intrusion Detection

In 2000, the owners of the popular Tripwire intrusion detection and file integrity monitoring software released their source code. Although Tripwire has since become a commercial, closed source application, this app is based on the original Tripwire code. It alerts systems administrators when changes have been made to specific files on their networks. Operating System: Windows, Linux.
33. AFICK Replaces Tripwire
Specifically designed to provide similar functionality as Tripwire, AFICK (short for "Another File Integrity Checker") also alerts administrators to changes on systems connected to the network. Operating System: Windows, Linux.

Open Source Network Firewalls

Instead of buying a firewall appliance, you can make your own with IPCop and an old PC. Note that while IPCop does provide a firewall for your network, it does not include anti-virus and some of the other features of the commercial product. Operating System: Linux.
Like IPCop, Devil-Linux also allows users to turn old hardware into a network firewall. It also lacks the anti-virus protection common in commercial appliances, but this project lets you use the system that is running the firewall as a secure server for a variety of applications. Operating System: Linux.
Like the other tools in this category, Turtle Firewall makes it possible to create your own Linux-based network firewall. Based on Iptables, it offers a Web GUI that makes defining firewall elements and selecting services easy, or if you prefer, you can edit the XML files directly. Operating System: Linux.
Shorewall (a.k.a. "Shoreline Firewall") can be used as a network firewall, as a gateway/router/server, or to protect a standalone Linux system. While it may not be the most intuitive tool for configuring Iptables to create your own firewall, it is very powerful and flexible. Operating System: Linux.
When installed on a PC attached to your network, Sentry Firewall acts as a network firewall, secure server, and/or intrusion detection system. Like Devil-Linux it also boots from a CD. Operating System: Linux.
This is yet another Iptables-based Firewall, this time designed to be very easy to use. It also enables remote administration via SSH. Operating System: Linux.
40. Vyatta Replaces Cisco products
Vyatta offers router, firewall, and ××× products so similar to Cisco products, that the Web site even contains a handy comparison tool. In addition to the "core" open source software download, the company also sells software subscriptions and hardware based on the open source product. Operating System: Linux.

Open Source Network Monitoring

Calling itself "the de facto (and often de jure) standard" for network protocol analysis, Wireshark has won numerous industry awards and boasts a very large user base. It performs deep inspection of hundreds of protocols and, unlike many of the similar commercial products, it works on multiple platforms. Operating System: Windows, Linux, OS X.

This tool offers very similar functionality to Wireshark, but works from the command line instead of a GUI. Also, this version suports Linux systems only. Operating System: Linux.
If you want to use tcpdump on a Windows system, this is the app you need. This site also provides a home to WinPcap, the packet capture and filtering engine used in a number of network monitoring tools, including some on this list. Operating System: Windows.

Open Source Password Crackers

Every enterprise network administrator needs a password cracker now and then. This one works fairly efficiently and runs from a CD or can be installed on your system. Operating System: Windows, Linux, OS X.
Especially good at finding weak passwords, John the Ripper searches lists of common passwords looking for a match. It's not as good with strong passwords as the commercial apps or Ophcrack, but it works well in the many cases when users choose an easy-to-remember password. Operating System: Windows, Linux, OS X.

Open Source Password Management

KeePass stores your passwords in an encrypted database so that you only have to remember one master password. It doesn't fill in forms for you (like Roboform), but it does have a strong password generator to help you pick good passwords. Operating System: Windows.
47. KeePassX Replaces Roboform
If you use Linux or a Mac, this is the version of KeePass for you. Operating System: Windows, Linux, OS X.
With a very simple interface, Password Safe offers a bare-bones password management system. It also offers the option of storing different sets of passwords—for example, your work and home passwords—in different databases with different master passwords. Operating System: Windows.

Open Source User Authentication

This two-factor authentication solution allows employees to access work servers remotely, customers to access online banking and other applications, and partners to access extranets. In addition to the free community edition, it's available in a supported enterprise edition. Operating System: OS Independent.

Open Source Web Filtering

In addition to blocking known objectionable Web addresses, DansGuardian also uses phrase matching and PICS filtering to filter out undesirable content. The default settings filter content appropriately for young children, but they can be easily adjusted to provide any level of filtering desired. Operating System: Linux, OS X.
