TechTool Pro 4.5.3
TechTool Pro - Hard drive repair & maintenance tool more>>
TechTool Pro 4 now features a suite of S.M.A.R.T tests (Self Monitoring Analysis And Reporting Technology).
Most modern hard drives now support this industry standard that employs predictive diagnostics and analysis to help foresee a drive failure BEFORE it happens. TechTool Pro 4s SMART test allows you to automatically monitor this vital data and be forewarned of impending danger to your data, allowing you to back up critical information before disaster strikes.
The eDrive feature allows you to create an invisible emergency volume from your existing drive. This new partition is created WITHOUT the need to reformat your current drive and allows you to store a copy of your system, a copy of TechTool Pro and even allows you to make room for other utilities.
If you ever have trouble with your main drive, simply restart your computer and your system will start from your Emergency Drive giving you immediate access to the utilities youll need to resurrect your main drive. Now theres no more need for a bootable CD or ancillary hard drive for system drive repair or maintenance.
With the power of Mac OS X, TechTool Pro 4 is now the fastest version of the program weve ever made. With Mac OS Xs native multitasking capability, TechTool Pro 4 can now run its full battery of tests simultaneously. This means that repair and maintenance chores that once took minutes will only take seconds.
TechTool Pro 4 now offers a new optimization feature for your Mac OS X drive. The Mac OS X system contains thousands of files that fragment quickly. TechTool Pro 4 lets you quickly and safely unfragment these and other files so your system runs reliably at its peak.

The Sleuth Kit 3.0.1
Free and open source command-line file and volume system forensic analysis tools more>> Free and open source command-line file and volume system forensic analysis tools
The Sleuth Kit (previously known as TASK) is a collection of UNIX-based command line file and volume system forensic analysis tools.
The file system tools allow you to examine file systems of a suspect computer in a non-intrusive fashion. Because the tools do not rely on the operating system to process the file systems, deleted and hidden content is shown.
The volume system (media management) tools allow you to examine the layout of disks and other media. The Sleuth Kit supports DOS partitions, BSD partitions (disk labels), Mac partitions, Sun slices (Volume Table of Contents), and GPT disks.
With these tools, you can identify where partitions are located and extract them so that they can be analyzed with file system analysis tools.
When performing a complete analysis of a system, we all know that command line tools can become tedious. The Autopsy Forensic Browser is a graphical interface to the tools in The Sleuth Kit, which allows you to more easily conduct an investigation.
Autopsy provides case management, image integrity, keyword searching, and other automated operations.
The tools run on Mac OS X, FreeBSD, OpenBSD, Linux, and Solaris and can analyze FAT, NTFS, UFS, EXT2FS, and EXT3FS.
NOTE: The Sleuth Kit is released under the Common Public and IBM Public Licenses.
Main features:
- Analyzes raw (i.e. dd), Expert Witness (i.e. EnCase) and AFF file system and disk images. (Sleuth Kit Informer #11)
- Supports the NTFS, FAT, UFS 1, UFS 2, EXT2FS, EXT3FS, and ISO 9660 file systems (even when the host operating system does not or has a different endian ordering).
- Tools can be run on a live UNIX system during Incident Response. These tools will show files that have been "hidden" by rootkits and will not modify the A-Time of files that are viewed. (Sleuth Kit Informer #13)
- List allocated and deleted ASCII and Unicode file names. (Sleuth Kit Informer #14 (FAT Recovery), #16 (NTFS Orphan Files))
- Display the details and contents of all NTFS attributes (including all Alternate Data Streams).
- Display file system and meta-data structure details.
- Create time lines of file activity, which can be imported into a spread sheet to create graphs and reports. (Sleuth Kit Informer #5)
- Lookup file hashes in a hash database, such as the NIST NSRL, Hash Keeper, and custom databases that have been created with the md5sum tool. (Sleuth Kit Informer #6, Sleuth Kit Informer #7)
- Organize files based on their type (for example all executables, jpegs, and documents are separated). Pages of thumbnails can be made of graphic images for quick analysis. (Sleuth Kit Informer #3, #4, #5)

- Update: Added RPM spec file from Morgan Weetmam.
Trash It! 3.6.1
Trash It! is a mighty effective program that empties your Trash and/or removes stubborn items. more>>
Trash It! 3.6.1 is a mighty effective program that empties your Trash and/or removes stubborn items.
Especially useful if you have files or folders in the Trash with permissions set incorrectly, locked Trash items, want to securely delete a stuck item, or trash items from other partitions. If you drop files or folders onto the Trash It! icon, it will delete them immediately. If you double-click on it, it will clean out your Trash can. Trash It! should be used when:
- You can't get rid of trash items manually.
- You can't move items to the trash.
- You have a large number of items to delete (i.e., previous system folders).
- You just like using cool scripts. :)
This is not a Finder trash can replacement! It should be used as a last resort!
