BepInEx
Unity / XNA game patcher and plugin framework
Unity / XNA game patcher and plugin framework. BepInEx is a plugin / modding framework for Unity Mono, IL2CPP, and .NET framework games (XNA, FNA, MonoGame, etc.) Stable builds are released once a new iteration of BepInEx is considered feature-complete. They have the least bugs, but some newest features might not be available. Bleeding edge builds are available on BepisBuilds. Bleeding edge builds are always the latest builds of the source code. Thus they are the opposite to stable builds: they have the newest features and bugfixes available, but usually tend to be the most buggy. Therefore you should use bleeding edge builds only if you are asked to or if you want to preview the upcoming version of BepInEx. Some games require some additional changes in order to work around specific limitations of different Unity versions. -

Selenium
Browser automation framework and ecosystem
Selenium automates browsers. That's it! What you do with that power is entirely up to you. Primarily it is for automating web applications for testing purposes, but is certainly not limited to just that. Boring web-based administration tasks can (and should) also be automated as well. If you want to create robust, browser-based regression automation suites and tests, scale and distribute scripts across many environments, then you want to use Selenium WebDriver, a collection of language specific bindings to drive a browser - the way it is meant to be driven. If you want to create quick bug reproduction scripts, create scripts to aid in automation-aided exploratory testing, then you want to use Selenium IDE; a Chrome and Firefox add-on that will do simple record-and-playback of interactions with the browser. If you want to scale by distributing and running tests on several machines and manage multiple environments from a central point. -

NBFC
NoteBook FanControl
NBFC is a cross-platform fan control service for notebooks. It comes with a powerful configuration system, which allows to adjust it to many different notebook models. Currently, there are no pre-built releases for Linux, but you can easily build NBFC yourself. In general the NBFC Wiki is the first place to go if you have any questions. If you want to build NBFC from source, the first thing you have to do is to download the source code. You can easily clone the NBFC repository via git. Make sure the Mono runtime + development tools are installed on your machine (Debian based distros: mono-complete, Arch based distros: mono). Config files are an integral part of NBFC, because they define how NBFC interacts with your notebook's embedded controller (EC). The EC, among other things, monitors your system's temperatures and controls the fan(s). It usually sits on the motherboard or is integrated into a Super I/O chip and is connected to the Southbridge via the Low Pin Count (LPC) bus. -

StabilityMatrix
Multi-Platform Package Manager for Stable Diffusion
StabilityMatrix is a project that helps organize, evaluate, and compare generative AI models and their behavior across prompts, datasets, or configuration settings. It provides a framework to run experiments systematically—capturing inputs, model configurations, outputs, and metrics—so researchers and practitioners can reason about differences in quality, robustness, and failure modes. The repository often bundles tooling for automated prompt sweeping, scoring heuristics (such as diversity, coherence, or task-specific metrics), and visualization helpers to make comparisons interpretable. This approach is useful for model selection, prompt engineering, and benchmarking new checkpoints against baseline models under reproducible conditions. By turning ad-hoc tests into tracked experiments, StabilityMatrix reduces bias, surfaces subtle regressions, and accelerates iteration when tuning generative systems. -

Obfuscar
Open source obfuscation tool for .NET assemblies
Obfuscar is an open-source .NET obfuscator released under MIT license. It provides basic obfuscation features that help secure secrets in a .NET assembly. An obfuscation tool designed for most .NET developers. Hide everything private, while keep everything public. You can achieve such simply via default settings. Hide class/method/property/event names that you don't want to expose. This is irreversible. String contents can be compressed so that end users won't easily learn them. However, this is reversible by certain tools. -

Windows Presentation Foundation
Framework for building Windows desktop applications
Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF) is a UI framework for building Windows desktop applications. WPF supports a broad set of application development features, including an application model, resources, controls, graphics, layout, data binding and documents. WPF uses the Extensible Application Markup Language (XAML) to provide a declarative model for application programming. WPF applications are based on a vector graphics architecture. This enables applications to look great on high DPI monitors, as they can be infinitely scaled. WPF also includes a flexible hosting model, which makes it straightforward to host a video in a button, for example. The visual designer provided in Visual Studio makes it easy to build WPF application, with drag-in-drop and/or direct editing of XAML markup. WinForms is another UI framework for building Windows desktop applications that is supported on .NET (6.0.x/5.0.x/3.1.x). WPF and WinForms applications only run on Windows. -

reko
Reko is a binary decompiler
Reko (Swedish: "decent, obliging") is a decompiler for machine code binaries. This project is freely available under the GNU General Public License. The project consists of front ends, core decompiler engine, and back ends to help it achieve its goals. A command line, a Windows GUI, and a ASP.NET front end exist at the time of writing. The decompiler engine receives inputs from the front ends in the form of either individual executable files or decompiler project files. Reko project files contain additional information about a binary file, helpful to the decompilation process or for formatting the output. The decompiler engine then proceeds to analyze the input binary. Reko has the ambition of supporting decompilation of various processor architectures and executable file formats with minimal user intervention. For a complete list, see the supported binaries page. -

Vlc.DotNet
.NET control that hosts the audio/video capabilities of the VLC libs
Vlc.DotNet is a .net library that hosts the audio/video capabilities of the VLC libraries. In other words, it's a .net wrapper around libvlc. That's why a new control has been written. To be fair, first versions of Vlc.DotNet were built with that technique, but back then, there were issues in the .net framework causing the memory usage to explode. As of 2018, this issue is resolved. The old WPF control was just a wrapper around the WinForms control. This led to some issues (Airspace issue...) and lacked some WPF-ish features. Vlc.DotNet is a .net library that hosts the audio/video capabilities of the VLC libraries. In other words, it's a .net wrapper around libvlc. It can work on any .net framework version starting from .net 2.0 and .net standard 1.3 (starting from Vlc.DotNet 2.2.1). On the front-end side, two components are currently available to make it easy to integrate in your apps. One is for WinForms, the other for WPF. -

opencvsharp
OpenCV wrapper for .NET
OpenCV wrapper for .NET. Some Docker images are provided to use OpenCvSharp with AppEngine Flexible. The native binding (libOpenCvSharpExtern) is already built in the docker image and you don't need to worry about it. OpenCvSharp won't work on Unity and Xamarin platform. For Unity, please consider using OpenCV for Unity or some other solutions. OpenCvSharp does not support CUDA. If you want to use the CUDA features, you need to customize the native bindings yourself. Objects of classes, such as Mat and MatExpr, have unmanaged resources and need to be manually released by calling the Dispose() method. Worst of all, the +, -, *, and other operators create new objects each time, and these objects need to be disposed of, or there will be memory leaks. Despite the using syntax, the code still looks very verbose. -

passcore
A self-service password management tool for Active Directory
PassCore is a very simple 1-page web application written in C#, using ASP.NET Core, Material UI (React Components), and Microsoft Directory Services (Default provider). It allows users to change their Active Directory/LDAP password on their own, provided the user is not disabled. PassCore does not require any configuration, as it obtains the principal context from the current domain. I wrote this because a number of people have requested several features that the original version did not have. The original version of this tool was downloaded around 8000 times in 2.5 years. My hope is that the new version continues to be just as popular. There really is no free alternative out there (that I know of) so hopefully, this saves someone else some time and money. We recommend use the docker image and redirect the traffic to nginx. -
