User Space

Plan 9 From User Space is a port of the bulk of the Plan 9 software build environment to Unix. While the libraries make an attempt to play nice with the rest of the system (by using the Unix rules for printf verbs and Unix system headers, for example), this port tries to reproduce the Plan 9...

UNFS3 is a user-space implementation of the NFSv3 server specification. It provides a unified mountd and nfsd program and so far runs under Linux, NetBSD, and Solaris. Platforms: Mac, BSD, Solaris, Linux

netjail provides an user-space solution for prohibiting a process from accessing the network. Netjail is a user-space mechanism for restricting the socket connection attempts that a process makes. This makes it very useful for studying and/or foiling spyware and other software that has covert... Platforms: *nix

uvlan is a project consisting of a User-space Virtual Local Area Network. In other words, uvlan peers act as nodes on a network switch. Ethernet traffic is routed between peers intelligently. This allows for multiple networks to share resources and even IP address space. Some may call it a... Platforms: *nix

Magic Mounter is a user-space auto-mounter. mmounter tries to mimic the behaviour of MacOS with regards to automatic monitoring and mounting of the volumes in your system (CDs, ZIP disks, floppies, HDs) using their volume name as the mount point. It will optionally eject devices and let users... Platforms: *nix

TAP provides packet reception and transmission for user-space programs. It can be viewed as a simple Ethernet device, which instead of receiving packets from a physical medium, receives them from a user-space program and instead of sending packets via physical media, writes them to the user-space...

Here are some key features of "ClamFS": ???N*?* User-space file system (no kernel patches, recompilation, etc.) ???N*?* Configuration stored in XML files ???N*?* FUSE (and... Platforms: *nix

A virtual file system layer (VFS) that is portable and runs purely in user space. It provides an NFS v2 front end and a BSD-like VFS backend. Dynamic file system modules may be loaded to provide proxies, features or interfaces. Platforms: Mac, BSD, Linux

Fast Secure File System exports existing directories securely over the network, letting users store and retrieve encrypted data in a scalable and transparent way. FSFS is written in C and works on GNU/Linux systems on x86 and PPC architectures, with help from FUSE and OpenSSL. File systems are... Platforms: *nix

ProSum is a terminal based program that protects your files, sys_call_table and IDT like tripwire way (All in user space, without kernel modules). In addition, database with files etc. could be encrypted with Blowfish algorythm and files that are protected could be store at any secure/bastion... Platforms: *nix

lcdmod was written because there was no nice way of controlling these displays from a computer under linux, most other software written to control these displays run in user space, and/or dont support all the features of the displays. lcdmod allows users to easily intergrate the LCD, in its...
