AES Crypt is free file encryption software available on several operating systems that uses the industry standard Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) to easily and securely encrypt files.

You do not need to be an expert to use AES Crypt, nor do you need to understand cryptography. AES Crypt is designed to be as simple to use as possible, yet still provide the strongest encryption strength available. With over a million downloads, AES Crypt has made it easy for so many people to secure information.

Using a powerful 256-bit encryption algorithm, AES Crypt can safely secure your most sensitive files. Once a file is encrypted, you do not have to worry about a person reading your sensitive information, as an encrypted file is completely useless without the password. It simply cannot be read.

AES Crypt is the perfect tool for anyone who carries sensitive information with them while traveling, uploads sensitive files to servers on the Internet, or wishes to protect sensitive information from being stolen from the home or office. AES Crypt is also the perfect solution for those who wish to backup information and store that data at a bank, in a cloud-based storage service, and any place where sensitive files might be accessible by someone else.

ImageUSB is a free utility which lets you write an image concurrently to multiple USB Flash Drives. Capable of creating exact bit-level copies of USB Flash Drive (UFDs), ImageUSB is an extremely effective tool for the mass duplication of UFDs. ImageUSB also supports writing of an ISO file byte by byte directly to an USB drive.

Unlike other USB duplication tools, ImageUSB can preserve all unused and slack space during the cloning process, including the Master Boot Record (MBR). ImageUSB can perform flawless mass duplications of all UFD images, including bootable UFDs.

imageUSB includes functionality to Zero a USB Flash Drive. This will replace the contents of the entire drive with 0s.

Or alternatively to just Zero the MBR and/or GPT entries that exists on the drive. In addition, imageUSB has the ability to reformat even hard to format drives and reclaim any disk space that may be lost previously.

What is IPFilter Updater?
It’s a small Windows application that will download and update an ipfilter list for use in Bit Torrent clients.

What Bit Torrent clients are supported?
Currently uTorrent, BitTorrent and qBittorrent are supported out of the box, but you can also configure other applications to pick up the downloaded list.

What is an ipfilter?
An ipfilter list is a simple (but usually very large) list of addresses and ranges of malicious peers that will transmit junk data (i.e. anti-P2P) or peers that may be intrusive on your net privacy.

Why do I need an ipfilter?
For privacy and more reliable peers

WinMerge is an Open Source differencing and merging tool for Windows. WinMerge can compare both folders and files, presenting differences in a visual text format that is easy to understand and handle.

Whonix is a free and open-source desktop operating system (OS) that is specifically designed for advanced security and privacyarchive.org. It's based on the Torarchive.org anonymity network, security-focused Linux Distribution Kicksecure™The Web ArchiveOnion Version , GNU/Linux and the principle of security by isolation. Whonix defeats common attacks while maintaining usability.

Whonix uses an extensively security reconfigured of the Debian base (Kicksecure™ Hardened) which is run inside multiple virtual machines (VMs) on top of the host OS. This architecture provides a substantial layer of protection from malware and IP leaks. Applications are pre-installed and configured with safe defaults to make them ready for use with minimal user input

Rufus is a utility that helps format and create bootable USB flash drives, such as USB keys/pendrives, memory sticks, etc.

It can be especially useful for cases where:

you need to create USB installation media from bootable ISOs (Windows, Linux, UEFI, etc.)
you need to work on a system that doesn't have an OS installed
you need to flash a BIOS or other firmware from DOS
you want to run a low-level utility
Despite its small size, Rufus provides everything you need!

OpenTodoList is a todo list and note taking application.

Organize todo lists, notes and images in libraries, which can be stored either completely local on the device you are working on (and hence ensure no information leaks out to untrusted third parties) or use the built in synchronization features which allows you to synchronize your libraries across devices. Currently, the following backend servers are supported for synchronization:

NextCloud
ownCloud

Generic WebDAV servers - note that due to limitations of some servers, the sync might not be working optimally or at all, this is a limitation of the server that the app cannot do anything about. Feel free to raise an issue in case you think your server is still capable to run a sync properly
Dropbox

In addition, a library is just a directory holding the items of your library as simple files - this allows you to use any kind of third party synchronization tool (like DropBox) to sync your information.

PuTTY is a free and open-source terminal emulator primarily used for running interactive command-line sessions on other computers. Here are some key points about PuTTY:

SSH and Telnet Client: PuTTY was developed by Simon Tatham as an SSH and Telnet client. It allows secure communication over these protocols, making it useful for remote server management.

Cross-Platform: PuTTY is available for Windows, Unix, and Mac platforms. You can download it from the official website or directly from the Microsoft Store.

Serial Port Communication: Besides SSH and Telnet, PuTTY can also communicate over serial ports and legacy Internet protocols like Telnet.

An easy-to-use, cross-platform multi-track audio editor/recorder

Tenacity is an easy-to-use, cross-platform multi-track audio editor/recorder for Windows, Linux, and other operating systems and is developed by a group of volunteers as open-source software.

In comparison to popular messaging applications like Telegram, WhatsApp and Signal, Speek is by far the most secure way to converse. Speek is serverless, stores no metadata, requires no ID or phone number and all the messages are encrypted and routed via the Tor network.

All messages are end-to-end encrypted. The Speek client is creating a Tor hidden service on the client PC. The message is then routed via the Tor onion network to the receiver. This makes it possible that the IP addresses are never public and the users can stay anonymous. The users are identified with public keys. Each user can share their public key with others to add them to the contacts list.
