Modular Audio Recognition Framework is an open-source research platform and a collection of voice/sound/speech/text and natural language processing (NLP) algorithms written in Java and arranged into a modular and extensible framework facilitating addition of new algorithms. MARF can run distributedly over the network and may act as a library in applications or be used as a source for learning and extension. A few example applications are provided to show how to use the framework. There is also a reasonbly detailed manual and the API references in the javadoc format as the project tends to be well-documented.

Whats New in This Release:

· This is the first release of the Distributed MARF proof-of-concept (PoC) implementation.
· MARFs pipeline stages can run on multiple computers using 3 different communication technologies: CORBA, RMI, and Web Services.
· The six implemented services include SpeakerIdent Front-end Service (plus the client), MARF Pipeline, Sample Loading, Preprocessing, Feature Extraction, Training and Classification.
· This is based on the snapshot-0.3.0-devel-20060811.

mp3cue cuts an input MP3 file according to the information stored in a .cue file (for example multiple tracks of DJ mix), and writes the output to multiple MP3 files.

poc is a mp3 and ogg streamer supporting following protocols:

HTTP (mp3 and ogg)
RTP (RFC 2250) (mp3 only)
RTP (RFC 3119) (mp3 only)
homegrown FEC protocol (mp3 only)

It should work under any POSIX platform, and does not require any additional library. You need a C99 compiler though.

poc is still beta software, ipv6 and ogg support was not tested extensively.

poc includes mp3cue, a mp3 CUE cutter, and mp3cut, a mp3 command-line editing tool.

SCM is a Firefox extension that performs Site Continuity Management validations on websites to help prevent Pharming attacks.

Pharming attacks are an advanced form of Phishing where an adversary poisons the data held in the user’s DNS server. SCM is believed to be the first add-on to protect users from this advanced attack.

SCM was developed at Cambridge University by Simon A. Spacey and is currently in a POC development release. For technical information about SCM you can read the release paper at:

Objective-C Compiler Commands

Whats the file suffix for Objective-C source ?

Its .m for implementation files, and .h for header files. Objective-C compilers usually also accept .c as a suffix, but compile those files in plain C mode.

How do I compile .m files with the Stepstone compiler ?

objcc -c class.m
objcc -o class class.o

See http://www.stepstn.com for more information.

How do I compile .m files with the Apple compiler ?

cc -c class.m
cc -o class class.o

See http://www.apple.com for more information.

How do I compile .m files with the GNU C compiler ?

gcc -c class.m
gcc -o class class.o -lobjc -lpthread

See http://www.gnu.org for more information.

How do I compile .m files with the POC ?

objc -c class.m
objc -o class class.o

See http://metalab.unc.edu/pub/Linux/devel/lang/objc/ for more information.

Operator is a complete Linux (Debian) distribution that runs from a single bootable CD and runs entirely in RAM.

The Operator contains an extensive set of Open Source network security tools that can be used for monitoring and discovering networks.

This virtually can turn any PC into a network security pen-testing device without having to install any software. Operator also contains a set of computer forensic and data recovery tools that can be used to assist you in data retrieval on the local system.

Starting with the 3.3 version of Operator, we have started completely from scratch by installing a basic Debian installation then adding the KNOPPIX functionality afterwards. This allowed us to have more control and understanding of what is on the CD.
