1. StartBlueScreen

StartBlueScreen This utility, just as it sounds, allows your to crash the Windows operating system by initiating a Blue Screen of Death according to 5 parameters that you specify from command-line.......

2. Linux-libre

Linux-libre Linux-libre is a GNU package that is maintained from modified versions of the Linux kernel. The aim of the project is to remove any software that does not include its source code, has its source code obfuscated or released under proprietary licenses. The parts that have no source code are......

3. Linux man-pages

Linux man-pages The Linux man-pages project documents the Linux kernel and C library interfaces that are employed by user-space programs. This package contains over 1,900 man pages.......

4. Genkernel

Genkernel Genkernel is a tool for building a general-purpose modular Linux kernel for Gentoo Linux. Genkernel compiles the kernel with all available device drivers built as modules, then copies these to an init RAM disk that is passed to the kernel at boot time, providing automatic hardware detection. It is designed......

5. NotMyFault

NotMyFault This program is a supplement to "Windows Internals, 5th Edition", though anyone may download and use it.From the book's web page:Notmyfault: Use this executable and driver to crash your system in several different ways. Chapter 7 uses Notmyfault to demonstrate pool leak troubleshooting and Chapter 14 uses it for crash......

6. ltrace

ltrace ltrace intercepts and records dynamic library calls which are called by an executed process and the signals received by that process. It can also intercept and print the system calls executed by the program. Used for debugging.......

7. libdrm

libdrm libdrm provides core library routines for the X Window System to directly interface with video hardware using the Linux kernel's Direct Rendering Manager (DRM).......

8. ktrace

ktrace The ktrace utility enables kernel trace logging for the specified processes. Kernel trace data is logged to the file ktrace.out. The kernel operations that are traced include system calls, namei translations, signal processing, and I/O.Once tracing is enabled on a process, trace data will be logged until either the process......

9. perf

perf perf is a performance analyzing tool in Linux, available from Linux kernel version 2.6.31 under tools/perf, and is frequently updated and enhanced. It is capable of lightweight profiling, supports hardware performance counters, tracepoints, software performance counters (e.g. hrtimer), and dynamic probes (for example, kprobes or uprobes).The output from perf can......

10. ktap

ktap ktap is a script-based dynamic tracing tool for Linux. It uses a scripting language and lets users trace the Linux kernel dynamically. ktap is designed to give operational insights with interoperability that allows users to tune, troubleshoot and extend the kernel and applications. It's similar to Systemtap and DTrace.ktap has......

11. SystemTap

SystemTap SystemTap provides free software (GPL) infrastructure to simplify the gathering of information about the running Linux system. This assists diagnosis of a performance or functional problem. SystemTap eliminates the need for the developer to go through the tedious and disruptive instrument, recompile, install, and reboot sequence that may be otherwise......

12. ftrace

ftrace Ftrace is an internal tracer designed to help out developers anddesigners of systems to find what is going on inside the kernel.It can be used for debugging or analyzing latencies andperformance issues that take place outside of user-space.Although ftrace is typically considered the function tracer, itis really a frame work......

13. sysklogd

sysklogd This package implements two system log daemons: syslogd and klogd.......

14. Jupiter Applet

Jupiter Applet Jupiter is a light weight power and hardware control applet for Linux. It is designed to improve battery life of a portable Linux computer by integrating with the operating system and changing parameters of the computer based on battery or powered connection.Additionally, Jupiter provides quick access to some of the......

15. Netlink Protocol Library Suite

Netlink Protocol Library Suite The libnl suite is a collection of libraries providing APIs to netlink protocol based Linux kernel interfaces. Netlink is a IPC mechanism primarly between the kernel and user space processes. It was designed to be a more flexible successor to ioctl to provide mainly networking related kernel configuration and monitoring......
