This command line interface enables you to package your Node.js project into an executable that can be run even on devices without Node.js installed. Make a commercial version of your application without sources. Make a demo/evaluation/trial version of your app without sources. Instantly make executables for other platforms (cross-compilation). Make some kind of self-extracting archive or installer. No need to install Node.js and npm to run the packaged application. No need to download hundreds of files via npm install to deploy your application. Deploy it as a single file. Put your assets inside the executable to make it even more portable. Test your app against new Node.js version without installing it. pkg was created for use within containers and is not intended for use in serverless environments. For those using ZEIT Now, this means that there is no requirement to use pkg in your projects as the benefits it provides are not applicable to the platform.

KGB Archiver is the compression tool with unbelievable high compression rate. It surpasses even such efficient compression tool like 7zip and UHARC in terms of the abilities. KGB Archiver uses AES-256 encryption to encrypt archives.

Cracx allows you to crack archive passwords of any encryption using 7-zip, WinRAR or a custom command, via Brute Force or Dictionary attack. Note: You must NOT use this program with files you don't have the rights to extract/open/use them! Currently, the program requires a current version of either 7-zip or WinRAR to be installed, but you can also use it to bruteforce basically anything that is executably via command-line with custom parameters. On an i7 CPU, it runs approximately 30 combination tests per second. Feel free to make suggestions or contribute by implementing features and translating the tool into your native language!

At this point this project is mainly wpkg which is a replica of dpkg and apt-get that works under Microsoft Windows and Unices. Since version 0.7.0 it works very nicely as it includes most of the important functionality of dpkg (i.e. most everything except dselect functions.) Otherwise, the Unix GNU Windows is expected to be a large set of packages that wpkg can handle. Packages of all the software available under MinGW and GnuWin32 so you can painlessly build a complete Unix like environment under Microsoft Windows.

BatExe is an open source program that enables you to convert an arbitrary set of data files and a batch script into a single Microsoft Windows executable.
