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 ... [More] eliminates the need for the developer to go through the tedious and disruptive instrument, recompile, install, and reboot sequence that may be otherwise required to collect data. SystemTap provides a simple command line interface and scripting language for writing instrumentation for a live running kernel and user-space applications. We are publishing samples, documentation, as well as enlarging the internal "tapset" script library to aid reuse and abstraction. [Less]

DTrace is a comprehensive dynamic tracing framework for the Solaris™ Operating Environment. DTrace provides a powerful infrastructure to permit administrators, developers, and service personnel to ... [More] concisely answer arbitrary questions about the behavior of the operating system and user programs. [Less]

ASP.Net AJAX custom control that adds the to a page, to allow for easy ASP.Net AJAX debugging during development. This control detects debug and deployment settings and will not render if release scripts are being used.

Mission Statement The Lemona project's objectives are to provide: a complete proposal for a secured and reliable open architecture; and its full-featured implementation. The goals of the Lemona ... [More] software are: to monitor and to trace system activity at the kernel and user level; to report and to store archives of this activity on remote and/or local repositories; to provide understandable information for the recovery and forensics analysis of compromised systems. Master of IT at Macquarie University Lemona was started by Laurent Malvert and Kenfe-Mickael Laventure, students at the Macquarie University in 2008, as part of the completion requirements for their Master of Information Technology (Software Engineering) program.

picogen will be an outdoor ray tracing system, targetting large-scale terrain with realistic day/night-illumination and detailed plant populations

iogrind is a prototype I/O profiling tool, under development. It aims to give a fairly accurate picture of all the I/O your application would perform on a cold start: this can help to accelerate your ... [More] application's cold start performance. It also has a nice file-system view. [Less]

Similar to linux's ltrace and VC++'s Spy program, this allows the tracing of Win32 calls made by a program during it's execution. This can be useful for determining what a program actually does ... [More] during its execution, and finding out where error conditions are arising (eg which win32 registry calls return errors). Code is written in C++, and uses native Win32 debugging calls (this is not a cygwin hack). Code is reasonably well laid out, so it should be easy to cannibalise it for other projects. It's slightly non-standard in the way it handles the hooking of DLLs (effectively creating a jump table in the target process' address space), but it works reasonably quickly. Notes on usage and configuration files contained in the project itself. Required Visual C++ v6.0. [Less]

ragona-as3utils (com.ragona.utils) is a growing set of tools for use in Flash projects. At this early stage it is only maintained for: • Actionscript 3.0, Flash 9+. The following classes are ... [More] currently included: Sender(com.ragona.utils.sender.Sender.as): Sender is a simple set of classes that I use to replace 'trace' functionality. The issue with trace is that it only works within the Flash IDE, and once your site is live it's difficult to debug certain issues. This is a simple set of classes used for for live project debugging. By uploading reciever.swf and changing from trace to sendMessage() you can view your trace output on any computer, within a web browser. In the future I will extend Reciever to include search functionality, file exporting, and other useful features that Trace lacks. This is an early implementation, but even now I refuse to work without it during development, it's just that useful, especially for projects that involve server-side or JavaScript interaction, and must be run within a browser - where tracing isn't an option without unreliable browser extensions. CoreXML (com.ragona.utils.coreXML.CoreXML.as): A really simple XML class for easy loading in AS3. It dispatches an 'xmlLoaded' event that can be listened for in parent classes, and is generally saves me from writing the same XML code over an over. It was specifically intended to be extended, and works well with subclasses. XMLPathfinder (com.ragona.utils.coreXML.XMLPathfinder.as): This is a class I created for use with Flash deeplinking solutions, SWFAddress for example. I wanted a way to take URL string, "/portfolio/web/2041/" for example, and parse through an XML document based on a unique attribute, named 'local'. It returns an XML typed object, which in my own projects I use to load data based on user URL input. It can be integrated into any XML document by adding @local attributes to the XML nodes that you need to navigate through, as long the attribute is unique for each level. This project is really just for personal use, but if it is useful for anyone you're welcome to pick it apart and take what you can. [Less]

VisualTracer is focused on tracing data directly from flash, which is very difficult to get on browsers that doesn't feature plugin extensions, like FlashTracer. Visual Tracer helps you to get traced ... [More] on any browser with much more flexibility and control over loaded content. [Less]
