Open Source Archiving Software

FreeArc combines best 7-zip and RAR features: auto-selected LZMA/PPMD/Multimedia compression, 1gb dictionary, exe/dict/delta data filters, updatable solid archives, SFXes, recovery record, AES+Twofish+Serpent encryption, Linux support and much more...

DAR is a command-line backup and archiving tool that uses selective compression (not compressing already compressed files), strong encryption, may split an archive in different files of given size and provides on-fly hashing, supports differential backup with or without binary delta, ftp and sftp protocols to remote cloud storage Archive internal's catalog, allows very quick restoration even a single file from a huge, eventually sliced, compressed, encrypted archive eventually located on a remote cloud storage, by only reading/fetching the necessary data to perform the operation. Dar saves *all* UNIX inode types, takes care of hard links, sparse files as well as Extended Attributes (MacOS X file forks, Linux ACL, SELinux tags, user attributes) and some Filesystem Specific Attributes (Linux ext2/3/4, Mac OS X HFS+) more details at: http://dar.linux.free.fr/doc/Features.html

Duply is a shell front end for the duplicity backup tool https://duplicity.us . It simplifies the usage by implementing backup job profiles, batch commands and more. Secure backup to non-trusted file spaces made easy.

A simple keylogger written in python. It is primarily designed for backup purposes, but can be used as a stealth keylogger, too. It does not raise any trust issues, since it is a set of [relatively] short python scripts that you can easily examine.

ReHash is an easy-to-use console-based hash calculation tool written in C++. It supports many algorithms and output formats and it can be fully configured using some of the many command-line arguments which can be passed to the tool.

Simplebackup is a cross-platform backup program. It reads a configuration file then builds a compress backup set, finally places the compressed files into another location (a directory, a remote http,ftp,sftp server or even one or more email accounts).

MicroZip is a powerful file compression and encryption utility for mobile phones which allows you to create and extract compressed archives in multiple formats and encrypt sensitive information with powerful AES-256 encryption. MicroZip can create and extract ZIP,TAR,TGZ,TBZ2 archives and extract many other formats as JAR,GZ,BZ2,TBZ,WAR,BZIP2,GZIP,Z,TAZ,CBZ etc. MicroZip allows you to extract selected files without extracting the whole ZIP archive. MicroZip also supports encrypted ZIP archives with both classic ZIP encryption and AES 256 encryption algorithm.

TclTrf is an extension library to the script language tcl, as created by John Ousterhout. It extends the language at the C-and Tcl-with ``transformer''-commands to encode and compress data. Based on the stacked channels of the tcl core (ability inter

A slightly reduced strength bulk encryption. In exchange for the reduced strength, you get the ability to rsync the encrypted files, so that local changes in the plaintext file will result in (relatively) local changes to the cyphertext file.

HashSum is a .NET port from GNU's md5sum and sha1sum. It supports: hash algorithm selection between MD5 and SHA1 (more could be added later) and compatibility between HashSum and GNU's checksum file format

partitioning backup recovery and all kind of boot loaders

RemenDeKO is a file repair program that you can use to generate off-line patch files to apply over damaged files. It's targeted for corrupted downloads, so the downloader just need to re-download a (probably) small file to fix the damaged download.

Use of Michael Rabin's Information Dispersal Algorithm to provide secure, dispersed storage in a networked environment. For full download, please get both Math-FastGF2 and Crypt-IDA releases under the files link. See project wiki for more information.

Stores and retrieves files in an encrypted archive. Also manages files stored on CDs and DVDs. Other functions are incomplete. PLEASE NOTE: you need to download both an Objectify release and a Public Objects release.

crcRepair is a utility that is able to fix corrupt files by consulting a database and file mirrors. It is written in pure Java, so it can be used on all platforms with the Java JRE installed.

*PassGuard suite provides a series of application used to manage your numerous passwords in an encrypted file. Additionally, a C++ framework is provided to create password management applications. Plugins system managed different encryption methods.

A set of Unixish tools allowing encrypted and compressed backups be done on exchangible media.

This is a very powerfull criptography project that basicaly can be used to transmit or store secure data and study some cipher, hash and compression algorithms to understands how it works.

Alist is a program that collects hardware and software information about systems and stores it in a database for users to browse and search via a Web interface. The program consists of three parts: a client portion that collects the information, a daemon

Backup P2P is a peer to peer application doing automated and secured backups inside a community (Jabber, XMPP). Each user shares some available space on his disk with others, to be able in return to remotely backup some of his own data.

An original bruteforce-based encryption/decryption system. BBE was originally conceived to chat with encrypted text on IRC. mIRC and X-Chat support BBE via script addon. BBE can also encrypt MIME encoded files. Blowfish encryption is currently supported.

Bork is a very small, cross-platform file encryption utility. It is written in Java and designed to be included along with the files it encrypts for long-term storage (eg on CD-R). Its minimal external dependencies make it fairly futureproof.

A shell script which determines by brute force the best compression format (bzip2, gzip, Z, zip, etc.) and which compression level to use in order to archive a file the smallest possible.
