I request the following program. It would be nice, if someone could make it portable. New Version (2beta) seems to need .NET-Framework, but the current version (1.4.21) doesn't:

Cryptool (Open Source)

The application CrypTool is a free e-learning application for Windows. You can use it to apply and analyze cryptographic algorithms. The current version of CrypTool is used all over the world. It supports both contemporary teaching methods at schools and universities as well as awareness training for employees.

I really like Orbiter, but I don't think it's open source.
Can a launcher be made?

Program: Orbiter

License: Freeware (you can redistribute it without modifications)

Description from the website: "ORBITER is a free flight simulator that goes beyond the confines of Earth's atmosphere. Launch the Space Shuttle from Kennedy Space Center to deploy a satellite, rendezvous with the International Space Station or take the futuristic Delta-glider for a tour through the solar system - the choice is yours."

My Lockbox

HI everybody,

just to propose you a new application to secure folders on your HDD.

It is a small application whose name "My Lockbox v 1.2".
It permit to secure some folders with a password. Theses folders becames invisible to other application like (Windows Explorer or other).

I think it is not very difficult to pass it in portable application, what's why I post this item.

You do you think about this new application?

XULRunner 1.9

I know there was a similar responseless request some two years ago but as there has been a new release parallel to the Firefox 3 release, I would like to request this one. I think it could be quite interesting to be able to run portable XUL apps outside of Firefox. The latest version may be found here:

GTunnel

Submitted by fz5pxs on August 7, 2008 - 12:14pm

I just tried GTunnel from Garden Networks

It's free, but I don't *think* it's open source. I wrote GN and asked about it.

It has the following features:

  • Easy to use user interface, English-Chinese dual language support, automatic recognition of OS language
  • Local HTTP/Socks5 proxy (UDP is not supported yet) with intelligent recognition of HTTP/Socks5 protocol
  • Automatic configuration of both global (system-wide) and per-instance proxy setting in Internet Explorer
