Homebrew stuff

In the (little) spare time I have, I'd like to do some programming in Delphi.
Delphi (by Borland/Inprise/Borland; they have changed their company name back again) is a
very nice derivative of the Pascal language for the MS Windows® platform.
A similar (like) version is also available for the Linux platform, called "Kylix".
If you would like to try it out, there are trial versions available at the Borland website.

Below you'll find some of the homebrew stuff I made, free for you to download!
Remember that these programs are released as freeware, but are NOT placed into the public domain;
I retain my rights as the original author, although you may copy the programs
as much as you like, as long as you keep the original archives intact.


MP3Cutter - WaveMP3 - IceRecorder - WakeM - MaskerAid - SuperSpoofer



MP3Cutter


This program enables you to edit MPEG Layer III audio
files without degrading the quality of the audio.
It cuts MP3 files at the raw frame-level, without
re-encoding the audio.

See the MP3Cutter website for more information (separate server)
or download the latest version from here.

WaveMP3


No, this is not a MP3 to WAVE converter; at least not
in the way you'ld expect: it doesn't convert your MP3 files
to uncompressed Windows WAVE-files, but it'll add a so called
"RIFF/WAV" header in front of the MP3 so it can be played
back by applications that don't support the MP3 format, but do
support the Windows WAV format.

See the "WaveMP3"-page for more, or download the latest version.

IceRecorder


UPDATED March 21, 2003: Version 1.0 Build 92 Beta

This nifty little program is capable of playing and recording
MP3-streams from IceCast and ShoutCast servers.
Other streams (like Ogg Vorbis) are not supported (yet).
When streaming, a cue-sheet is created that can be used to
burn an Audio-CD with track information from the captured MP3.
Burning applications like CDRWin and Nero support these
kinds of cue-sheets and also editors like the one from DCSoft
should be able to handle them correctly.

Download the latest version here and enjoy!

WakeM


This is another nice utility that might come in handy if you have
network with computers attached that support WOL.
WOL stands for "Wake On LAN" and is a feature that
makes it possible to remotely wake, or start-up, another computer.

I've also made the Delphi (3) source-code available, but to
compile it you'll need the "TWSocket" component by Francois Piette.

You can find the compiled executable over here
and the Delphi source-code here.

MaskerAid


Ever wanted to hide your precious archives from prying eyes?
Well... take a look at MaskerAid: this little archiver works just like
any other archiver but it has some nice additional features
not found in the others (like "WinRAR" and "WinZip").
No... this one lets you save your archive pretending to be a totally
different file-type!
You can, for instance, save your archive as a JPG or BMP image,
or maybe you prefer to hide it as a WAV sound-clip?
MaskerAid looks somewhat like "Camouflage" only much faster!
You can choose to compress some or all of the files in the archive
or even protect it with a password.
Also you might want to add an additional comment for the archive
using either plain text or load text from a RTF file.
Download the latest release here (NullSoft Installer).

SuperSpoofer


Looking for some high-quality p*rn, but you don't want to pay for it?
Well, there's this technique hackers call "Spoofing".
The technique behind spoofing is that one's pretending to come from another (paid) site, but actually isn't.
Spoofing is done by sending some extra information to the "To be spoofed" site.
This extra information tells the new site where the user originally came from, the so called "Referer" or refering site.
With SuperSpoofer you can jump to these sites directly, without really having to come from a refering site.
Note, however, that this technique doesn't work on all websites; especially "quality"-sites do have more sophisticated means of "Intruder-attack".
Nevertheless, there are a lot of other sites with less protection that can be visited.
To start spoofing download the latest version of SuperSpoofer here (NullSoft Installer).
