Carbon Copy Cloner 3.4.3 - Easy-to-use backup/cloning utility.. (Free)

Carbon Copy Cloner 3.4.3 - Easy-to-use backup/cloning utility.. (Free): "

Carbon Copy Cloner... Clone, synchronize, backup. Schedule and forget it. Try it 'til you trust it.

In its simplest form, CCC will clone one hard drive to another, copying every single block or file to create an exact replica of your source hard drive. This is very useful if, for example, your laptop is damaged and you must send it in for repair.

CCC can also be used to perform regular backups of your data. When you select a source disk in CCC, you are presented with the contents of that disk (hidden items too). Simply uncheck the items that you do not want to backup, and CCC will provide ample indication what will and will not be copied. Select a target disk to which you would like to backup, then press the clone button.

The key to a successful backup plan is to actually do the backups regularly. When left to a human, the task often gets tacked on to the end of a very long list of other things to do. When you eventually have a catastrophe, the data is simply gone. You know that feeling -- you just lost six years of family photos. Your kids being born, their first birthdays, their first everything. The answer to this is consistent and regular backups, placed on a schedule and handled automatically by your computer. CCC includes that functionality, and takes it even further.



Version 3.4.3:
  • Addressed a regression in which the body of email notifications sent by CCC would be cut off by some email servers.
  • CCC now prevents a user from choosing a non-writable folder as the destination when the underlying volume is a network volume or another type of volume mounted in 'userland'.
  • Fixed an issue in which CCC would report an error and skip the contents of a folder that had an unreadable extended attribute.
  • Made some tweaks to the advice that CCC offers in various error conditions.
  • Fixed a bug that would cause CCC to crash when sending a test email notification.
  • Fixed an issue in which the automatic unmounting of a disk image at the end of a backup task could cause a scheduled task to errantly report that 'The backup task was aborted because the destination volume disappeared'.
  • Fixed an issue in which a CCC scheduled task would report that 'The destination volume is not available' in cases where the backup task specified a folder or disk image on the destination, and the destination volume had reappeared at an incremented mountpoint (e.g. /Volumes/Volume Name 1).
  • The presence of a network volume is determined more reliably during a scheduled task's pre-flight sanity checks.
  • Fixed an issue in which a scheduled task was unable to mount a disk image file on a network sharepoint when read access to the file was restricted to the file owner.
  • Fixed an issue in which items copied from a volume that doesn't support ownership would be owned by the root user rather than the user that created the backup task.
  • Fixed an issue in which CCC would fail to create a sparsebundle disk image on a network volume while running a scheduled task.
  • CCC now enforces the exclusion of system items when backing up to a non-HFS+ formatted volume.
  • Fixed an issue in which the exclusion of a file whose name included a return character would cause a CCC backup task to fail with an 'Invalid filter' error.
  • CCC now makes a note in the CCC.log file of the largest file encountered during the backup. This value can be used to determine a minimum amount of free space that should be maintained on the backup volume.
  • Fixed an issue affecting Tiger users in which a network volume could not be automatically mounted before running a scheduled backup task.
  • Fixed an issue affecting Lion users in which an attempt to mount a network volume would result in a -6600 error code.
  • Fixed an issue in which setting extended attributes would fail on some filesystems for files whose names begin with an underscore.
  • Added support for the UF_TRACKED fileflag that was added in Lion. This also now fixes an issue in which the setting of that fileflag would cause errors on filesystems that don't support it.
  • Fixed an issue in which a backup task would fail if the source or destination volume on a remote Macintosh did not support Access Control Lists.
  • Implemented a workaround for a Finder bug affecting Leopard users in which a mounted disk image volume would not disappear from the sidebar when the volume was ejected by CCC.
  • Addressed an issue in which CCC would continue copying files after a scheduled task was inadvertently terminated due to rescheduling of the task by the user.
  • Fixed an issue in which CCC would incorrectly report that a network volume would not have enough capacity to accommodate the source volume.
  • Fixed an issue in which a system service would prevent a scheduled task from unmounting the destination volume. The task performed by this system service (kextd) is now handled explicitly by CCC.
  • CCC now unmounts a disk image destination volume when errors occur during the backup task.
  • Fixed an issue in which tasks scheduled to run hourly would be scheduled several hours into the future if the computer was slept and awoken after midnight.

JonDo 00.16.001 - Protect your privacy on the Internet (was Java Anonymous Proxy).. (Free)

JonDo 00.16.001 - Protect your privacy on the Internet (was Java Anonymous Proxy).. (Free): "

JonDo (was Java Anonymous Proxy) is a free, open-source and highly portable (Java-based) client software for accessing the JonDonym services. Its primary use is the anonymisation of web site requests against web site operators, internet providers and the anonymisation service Operators. All requests of the web browser have to be processed by the JonDo program instead of accessing the internet directly. JonDo encrypts the data and sends it to the first Mix of a Mix Cascade. The first Mix then mixes the data with that of other users and sends it to the second mix station which passes it on to the third mix station which decrypts and sends the data through a cache proxy to the internet.

Each mix carries out cryptographic operations on the message so that the JonDo-encrypted data is only readable after having passed through the proper mixes in the proper order. This ensures that an eavesdropper either only receives unreadable (encrypted) data or can no longer determine the sender. In order for it to work correctly, only one mix in the cascade needs be trusted not to inform the eavesdropper about the method of message mixing. The more users that use the cascade, the harder it is for an observer to distinguish single users.

Data retention resistance - By the distribution on different, independent operator organisations and countries, the JonDonym service is secure against data retention. Even if single operators have to store data, this does not create an 'overall picture' needed to uncover the identity of users. Thus, JonDonym provides maximum protection against operators and third parties.

Moreover, the system provides so-called forwarding functionality. Users can connect to the service even if it is blocked by their provider. This is often the case in countries that are known for heavy censorship. Unblocked users of the service (Forwarding servers) may voluntarily forward other JonDonauts (Forwarding clients) to the Mix Cascades.

Version 00.16.001:

New features:

  • Security: show warning if user does not use JonDo and maybe only thinks to be anonymous
  • Security: try to switch current service on startup if it has only one mix
  • Security: only if connection to all other services failed, automatic switching to one-mix services is allowed
  • Security: integrity error notification
  • Comfort: Added support for multiple download sources for new versions of JAP.jar
  • Comfort: introduced temporary whitelist attribute for trust model, that enables the user to temporarily connect to filtered services
  • Comfort: merged all filters/trust models into one single, editable trust model
  • Comfort: JonDoFox users now get a clear error message if JonDo im niht-anonymen Modus ist and if they try to access a blocked HTTPS site
  • Comfort: transferred bytes are now shown in kilobytes
Bug fixes:
  • allow all JonDonym related websites even if access to all websites is blocked
  • fix for warning about correct JonDo usage
  • fixed some bugs related to automatic cascade switching
  • some debug entries for InfoService
  • fixed global timeout for InfoService requests
  • remove 'initial dummy cascade' whenever possible, also if auto switching is disabled
  • fixed possible null pointer in XMLSignature
  • fixed language selection for payment options
  • fixed view of amount to pay for cash and money transfer payment methods
  • fixed possible deadlocks and null pointers in DirectProxy
  • show low balance popup only if no other full account is available
  • fixed deadlock in DirectProxy caused when interrupting running request threads
  • fixed possible double-binding of default listener
  • stop connection attempts if auto-switching is disabled and payment is mandatory
Other:
  • new random order for services on every startup
  • show current service on top in popup menu
  • automatically switch to next service if current service is filtered and 'getNextCascade()' is requested
  • X-Headers are now always active
  • keep reconnect on error if current service is initial dummy service
  • ignore performance filter if no performance data is available at all
  • connection to user defined services is now only allowed within the current trust model
  • create self-verified signatures
  • request all InfoService documents with http compression
  • reduced InfoService requests for InfoServices and Mix cascades
  • clearer HTML messages for DirectProxy
  • show squid error pages if forced by last mix operators
  • new JonDoFox headers
  • enhanced DirectProxy error page presentation
  • clearer HTML 'not-allowed' messages for DirectProxy requests
  • if only premium services are available, the ConfigAssistant is now shown instead of closing the connection
  • ConfigAssistant now tries to connect automatically if it has been called because of a connection timeout; the user thus quickly sees the reason for the connection problem
  • do not show 'free' filter if free services are not allowed
  • added security warnings for user defined services
  • removed warnings about 'no JonDoFox' and 'insufficient bytes for download'

Tor 1.0 - Anonymize Web browsing and more.. (Free)

Tor 1.0 - Anonymize Web browsing and more.. (Free): "Tor is a toolset for a wide range of organizations and people who want to improve their safety and security on the Internet. Using Tor can help you anonymize web browsing and publishing, instant messaging, IRC, SSH, and more. Tor also provides a platform on which software developers can build new applications with built-in anonymity, safety, and privacy.

Tor aims to defend against traffic analysis, a form of network surveillance that threatens personal anonymity and privacy, confidential business activities and relationships, and state security. Communications are bounced around a distributed network of servers called onion routers, protecting you from websites that build profiles of your interests, local eavesdroppers that read your data or learn what sites you visit, and even the onion routers themselves.

Tor's security is improved as its user base grows and as more people volunteer to run servers. Please consider volunteering your time or volunteering your bandwidth. And remember that this is development code - it's not a good idea to rely on the current Tor network if you really need strong anonymity.

By default, Tor is configured to run at startup. If you do not want Tor to run on startup, you can disable this by selecting 'Customize' in the Installer, and then un-checking the 'Tor Startup Script' box. Be sure to leave the other boxes checked. Once the installer is finished and your computer restarts, Tor will start automatically. Tor comes configured as a client by default. It uses a built-in default configuration file in /Library/Tor/torrc, but most people won't need to change any of the settings.

Privoxy is installed as part of the Tor bundle package installer. Privoxy is a filtering web proxy that integrates well with Tor. Once it's installed, it will start automatically when your computer is restarted. You do not need to configure Privoxy to use Tor. A custom Privoxy configuration for Tor has been installed as part of the installer package.

Playback 1.8.4 - Stream media to PS3, Xbox 360 and more.. (Shareware): "

Playback allows you to share your media with any Playstation 3, Xbox 360, or other UPnP compatible device. It automatically integrates with iTunes, iPhoto, Aperture, Adobe Lightroom 2 & 3, Photobooth, EyeTV, and more. You can share all content from these applications or choose specific playlists and albums.

Playback can also share media stored in folders or even make entire disks available to your Playstation 3 or Xbox 360. By default, Playback will share almost any content on your system. No configuration required! If you prefer to tinker, you'll appreciate Playback's built-in access control list (ACL) and bandwidth throttling. The ACL allows you to control which devices have access to your media. Bandwidth throttling limits the transfer rate from your computer to your UPnP device so others on your network can still surf the web and check their email.

Of course, if speed is your thing, we've got that too. Playback was engineered for extreme speed. Your media is served via nginx. Nginx is known for its high performance, stability, rich feature set, simple configuration, and low resource consumption. Nginx powers several high-visibility sites, such as WordPress, Hulu, Github, Ohloh, SourceForge and TorrentReactor.

Other features include Growl notifications, on-screen thumbnails powered by QuickLook, and much more!

Note to all PS3/Xbox users: Playback has built-in support for HD MKV files. No transcoding required!



Version 1.8.4:
  • New: Improved support for multiple network interfaces.
  • Fixed: Remaining system sleep issue under Mac OS X 10.7 Lion.

  • Virtually unlimited output size: create Gigapixel panoramas from hundreds of images!
  • Layered output allows full control over the final stitched result
  • PTGui stitches most panoramas fully automatically, but at the same time provides full manual control over every single parameter. This enables stitching of 'difficult' scenes, where other programs fail.
  • Full 16 bit workflow for best image quality
  • And much more...



Version 9.1beta3:
  • After Align to Grid and then Align Images, orphaned images were not correctly kept with the rest of the panorama
  • If Align to Grid has been used, no popup warning will be given about missing control points, and the Create Panorama button is not greyed out if there are missing control points
  • Align to Grid: if 'by column' is selected, the popup menu will show 'xx columns of xx images' (was previously 'xx rows of xx images')
  • Align to Grid: added warning messages if the number of images in the project and the number of images in the grid do not match
  • Align to Grid: settings in this window are now remembered when quitting and restarting PTGui
  • Paste Mask now merges the pasted mask with the existing mask. Previously pasting replaced the existing mask completely. The former behaviour can still be replicated by pressing the Clear Mask button before pasting.
  • Mac: if PTGui is executed straight from the install disk image, it will (after user confirmation) install itself into the Applications folder of the computer.
  • Fix: Mac: when editing a value in the Image Parameters tab and switching to another tab, the edited value was not saved or applied.
  • Fix: Mac OS 10.4 version of PTGui: attempting to resize columns and rows in the Image Parameters tab and Source Images tab would fail with an error

Playback 1.8.3 - Stream media to PS3, Xbox 360 and more.. (Shareware)

Playback 1.8.3 - Stream media to PS3, Xbox 360 and more.. (Shareware): "

Playback allows you to share your media with any Playstation 3, Xbox 360, or other UPnP compatible device. It automatically integrates with iTunes, iPhoto, Aperture, Adobe Lightroom 2 & 3, Photobooth, EyeTV, and more. You can share all content from these applications or choose specific playlists and albums.

Playback can also share media stored in folders or even make entire disks available to your Playstation 3 or Xbox 360. By default, Playback will share almost any content on your system. No configuration required! If you prefer to tinker, you'll appreciate Playback's built-in access control list (ACL) and bandwidth throttling. The ACL allows you to control which devices have access to your media. Bandwidth throttling limits the transfer rate from your computer to your UPnP device so others on your network can still surf the web and check their email.

Of course, if speed is your thing, we've got that too. Playback was engineered for extreme speed. Your media is served via nginx. Nginx is known for its high performance, stability, rich feature set, simple configuration, and low resource consumption. Nginx powers several high-visibility sites, such as WordPress, Hulu, Github, Ohloh, SourceForge and TorrentReactor.

Other features include Growl notifications, on-screen thumbnails powered by QuickLook, and much more!

Note to all PS3/Xbox users: Playback has built-in support for HD MKV files. No transcoding required!



Version 1.8.3:
  • New: Simplified demo restrictions.
  • New: Improved service discovery.
  • Other: Various tweaks, improvements, and fixes.
  • Other: Demo period reset for all users.
