CopyCatX 4 is a great implement that meets all your needs of duplicating a Mac OS X volume or cloning a complete drive.
It is perfect for: Anyone who wants to upgrade to a bigger drive. Game players who want to make a perfect copy of a drive with all the hidden files duplicated. Systems administrators who need to deploy multiple drives with identical content.
Forensic experts whose job requires identical copies of the original drive. Cross-platform users who need to clone a PC or Linux hard drive quickly and easily. CopyCatX utilizes a method called "device-to-device copying" instead of file-by-file copy employed by most backup software. Using device copy enables you to retain every detail of the original drive, from bootablity to the icon locations. Device copy is also a lot faster than the traditional file-by-file backup.

Hardware Monitor 4.8
Hardware Monitor provides highly interactive user-friendly application to read out all accessible hardware sensors in Macintosh computers. more>>
Hardware Monitor 4.8 provides highly interactive user-friendly application to read out all accessible hardware sensors in Macintosh computers. Currently more than 100 different Macintosh hardware sensors and more than 200 hard drive temperature sensors are supported.
The program can display and visualize measured values in a large variety of fashions. It can also store and export readings. This includes the following sensor types: Temperarature readings at different locations. Battery data of portable computers. Voltage sensors. Current (amperage) sensors. Fan speed sensors. Sensors for pulse-width controlled fans. Power and load sensors. Ambient light sensors. User-defined artificial sensors to monitor the operating system. Moreover, the applications can display additional technical information about your computer.
Major Features:
- Temperature display selectable in degrees Celsius, Fahrenheit, or Kelvin
- Display of many other sensors, if supported by Mac OS X on the specific computer model
- Display of the sensor equipment of the system, and their permissible limits (if released by Apple)
- Display of current readings in a horizontal or vertical window that can be customized
- Display of current readings in a "floating" screen display or on the background of the Desktop
- Output of no, one, or two selectable current readings in a Dock tile
- Output of no, one, or up to eight selectable current readings in the menu-bar
- Definition of an unlimited number of history graphs that visualize readings in a time interval between 12 minutes and 1 week
- Adjustable refresh interval between 1 second and 1 hour
- Customizable labels and display options for all sensors
- Periodic automatic recording and safe storage of history data for defective, unstable computers
- Customizable announcements of current readings via speech output
- Customizable definition of alarm triggers for each sensor
- Definition of alarm actions, e.g. opening an alert panel, speech warnings, Growl notification, launching an application or script
- Export of readings or history data sets into text files or CSV files
- Readings can also be acquired by scripts or in Terminal. The application comes with a special command-line tool to achieve this.
- Display of hardware details, e.g. serial numbers or manufacturing data
- Display of system management data on Intel-based systems
- Definition of artificial sensors that monitor aspects of the operating system, e.g. CPU load, number of processes, disk usage, memory usage, paging activity, network interface activity (only in 10.4 or later), SMART verification status, status of Mac OS X software RAIDs, electrical power, remaining battery capacity
- Display of detail information and SMART status of all currently attached hard drives
- Display of detail information about all currently attached battery units
- Display of detail information and operational status of attached Xserve hard drive modules
- Remote monitoring of computers via a TCP network in connection with the add-on application Hardware Monitor Remote
- Control of external LCD panels, including freely customizable output definitions. Alphanumeric liquid crystal displays compliant with the original Hitachi HD44780 industry standard are supported. The LCD panel must be connected via a USB control unit "IO-Warrior 24" a product of Code Mercenaries Hard- und Software GmbH. Alternatively, the application supports the CF-632 and CF-634 USB display series from Crystalfontz America, Inc.
Enhancements:
- Support for Mac OS X 10.3 Panther has been removed. The required minimum OS version is now Mac OS X 10.4 Tiger.
- Added a feature to reset different aspects of display preferences for all sensors back to recommended default values. This new feature supersedes the former features to reset sensor display colors, data acquisition settings and customized labels.
- Added a feature to display 32/64 bit capabilities of the processor and the current mode of the kernel.
- Added a feature to display the unique identifier (UUID) of a computer.
- Added a feature to monitor the size of swap space memory which is actually in use.
- Added a feature to let the user define individual sets of remotely monitored computers in a network. It is now possible to connect to whole groups of monitored systems in one step.
- Added a new driver for monitoring of the internal thermal sensors of Intel processors which is also capable of supporting the 64 bit kernel version of Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard.
- On PowerPC hardware, support for S.M.A.R.T. hard drive sensors accessed via SATA interfaces has been enhanced. The application will now accept the temperature sensors of unknown SATA drive models. (This has always been the standard on Intel-based computers.)
- The support for hard drive sensors controlled via proprietary drivers of Sonnet and FirmTek has been enhanced.
- By user request, a feature to suppress access to S.M.A.R.T. hard drive sensors has been added to the command-line version of the program.
- The output channel "Screen Display" will no longer try to keep its screen position if the user changes a multi-monitor configuration while the program is not running. This makes sure the Screen Display cannot become invisible when its target monitor has been removed.
- The default number of displayed digits behind the decimal point is now automatically set to zero in cases where it is known that the sensor hardware does not provide more significant digits.
- When exporting readings, it is now possible to also use history windows in overlay mode as sources to get combined tables of readings for different physical quantities.
- If the application loses the network connection to a remotely monitored computer, related warnings will now be suppressed automatically when a change of the network configuration on the monitoring computer itself is the main reason for the disconnect. This is useful when a mobile computer monitoring a network leaves the WiFi area, for example.
- When remote-monitoring multiple computers with repaired logic boards that have invalid or erased hardware serial numbers, the application will now better keep track of the individual identifications of the affected systems.
- If the application is set to automatically reconnect to a set of remotely monitored computers on startup, the reconnect will now be performed less aggressively, one by one. This avoids temporary network overload when monitoring a large number of computers.
- When quitting the application, shutdown of attached alphanumeric LCD boxes has been enhanced.
- The numbering of labels for user-created sensors monitoring battery units will now also start with 1 instead of beginning with 0.
- Corrected a problem where the temperature values displayed for the cores of the Intel P7350 processor have been shifted by 15 degrees Celsius.
- Corrected a problem where no spaces between values have been displayed in the menu-bar when the display of sensor labels has been switched off.

Undercover 1.0
Undercover - its nice to see things more>>
Unix has only one way of hiding a file - and its not really a matter of hiding it anyway. Its just that the file wont often be recognised. This method is of course putting a dot (.) in front of the file name.
But OS X has two ways of really hiding files - and theyre not so easy to deal with.
1. .hidden. A file containing names of files to be hidden.
2. kIsInvisible. An archaic HFS flag still recognised by the OS X shell.
Perhaps the most infamous example of something on OS X being hidden against user wishes is the iPod_Control directory on the iPod hard drive - its kept hidden to make it more difficult for you to copy your song collection back to your hard drive.
Undercover shows you everything hidden by OS X in your system.
Once its uncovered you can do anything with it you like - and yes, even in your Finder.
