debcheckroot-v1.99, the pre-release version of v2.0 is now available for testing. It is a program to verify your Debian Linux against rootkits also of unknown kind. Most likely it will become v2.0 without any significant changes. If so we will not notify for the final release in addition. debcheckroot v2.0 works with current versions of Debian and has many interesting new features: direct comparison, generation of sha256 lists, checking of symbolic links, user, group and mode. No external programs like gunzip or tar are required any more. The full functionality is integrated. By sucessively generating sha256-lists you may also verify installations based on multiple DVDs. Direct comparison or sha256 comparison is more secure than just comparing the md5 like with v1.0 but it requires a full unzip of all installation packages. Additionally it causes some false positives where configuration files are unpacked and later on automatically changed via installation scripts. Unpacking takes place in memory only.

confinedrv is now part of the diskutils package. It newly contains programs for backing up and restoring sparse files, for binary diff and patch, for generating sha256sum lists and experimental scripts for shredding (safe delete) a disk installation. confinedrv itself has been extended for functionality to back up and use a whole partition table including intermediate spaces and for verifying, restoring and blanking the boot sector of a disk against boot viruses and malware.

The program automatically recognizes when a new shot/scene starts. The scene list can be saved to a file and used with HTML5-Videos. We have also extended our site about HTML5-video Java-scripting to alter videos by pixelwise operations on the fly.
