Alternate File Shredder v3.100
Alternate File Shredder v3.100 👉 Securely and permanently erase files, folders, and free disk space to prevent data recovery. Alternate File Shredder is a freeware, open-source utility designed to securely destroy files and folders so they cannot be recovered with standard undelete or forensic recovery tools. Instead of simply removing file references from the file system, it repeatedly overwrites the contents using configurable methods before deleting them, making recovery extremely difficult or impossible. The program can also overwrite unused free space on a drive to eliminate remnants of files that were previously deleted without secure wiping. Additional options allow you to overwrite data with random values, a fixed value, or the contents of another file, giving you flexibility for different security requirements. Because secure deletion is permanent, the author recommends carefully reviewing all selected items before proceeding. Features: • Permanently erase files and folders by securely overwriting data before deletion • Wipe free disk space to remove recoverable traces of previously deleted files • Choose overwrite methods using random values, fixed values, or a template file • Configure multiple overwrite iterations for increased security • Optionally overwrite file names before deletion • Ignore write protection when desired • Drag-and-drop support for quickly adding files and folders • Displays detailed file information before shredding • Processing log for completed operations • Open source and free to use Supported operating systems: • Windows Vista, Windows 7, Windows 8, Windows 8.1, Windows 10, Windows 11, Windows Server Supported languages: • English, German, Spanish, French, Italian, Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Swedish, Arabic, Greek, Russian, Czech, Hungarian, Turkish, Polish, Portuguese, Slovenian, Danish, Dutch Changes: v3.100 02-13-26 Added custom colors Options extended Note: This file has four hits on VirusTotal.

AppControl is a free Windows system monitoring and application management utility developed by Jon Hundley and the AppControl team.

CrapFixer is a free, open-source Windows tweaking utility designed to identify and fix unwanted settings, preinstalled apps and other annoyances in Windows 10 and 11.

FluentCleaner Classic v1.15.170
FluentCleaner Classic v1.15.170 👉 Lightweight classic Windows cleaner built on the same engine as FluentCleaner. FluentCleaner Classic is a lightweight WinForms edition of FluentCleaner designed for users who prefer a minimal footprint, need compatibility with older Windows systems, or want a simple portable cleaner without the larger WinUI 3 runtime.

Nearby Glasses v1.0.8
Nearby Glasses v1.0.8 👉 Detects nearby smart glasses using Bluetooth Low Energy signals. Nearby Glasses is a free, open-source utility designed to detect nearby smart glasses by passively scanning Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) advertising data. The app identifies supported smart glasses using Bluetooth manufacturer identifiers and can notify you when a compatible device is detected within range.

OnionHop v3.7.12
OnionHop v3.7.12 👉 Privacy-focused desktop app that easily routes your internet traffic through the Tor network. OnionHop is a cross-platform privacy application that makes routing internet traffic through the Tor network easier without requiring users to manually configure Tor. It can operate as a local SOCKS proxy or route traffic system-wide using TUN/VPN mode. Smart Connect can automatically select an appropriate connection method based on the user's network and location, including censorship-resistant methods when normal Tor connections are blocked. OnionHop offers three Tor engines: Classic Tor, Arti, and ArtiHop. Classic Tor provides the fullest set of controls, including bridges, country and relay pinning, and New Identity. Arti uses the Rust implementation of Tor, while ArtiHop uses shortened two-hop Guard-to-Exit circuits for lower latency at the expense of reduced anonymity. For restrictive networks, OnionHop supports numerous pluggable transports, including obfs4, Snowflake, WebTunnel, Conjure, meek, and dnstt. Its Bridge Scanner can retrieve and test bridges, display their latency, and apply working bridges directly. TUN/VPN mode provides system-wide routing for programs that do not honor proxy settings. Hybrid mode adds split tunneling, allowing selected applications to use Tor while others connect normally. Additional privacy protections include DNS-over-Tor, UDP blocking, and an optional kill switch. OnionHop can also host Onion Services. A service running on the computer or local network, such as a web application, NAS, or IP camera, can be made remotely accessible through a persistent .onion address without port forwarding, a static public IP address, or DynDNS. Onion Service hosting requires the Classic Tor engine. Features: • Routes internet traffic through the Tor network • Proxy Mode provides a local SOCKS5 proxy without administrator privileges • TUN/VPN Mode provides system-wide Tor routing • Hybrid mode provides application-based split tunneling • Smart Connect automatically selects connection strategies for the current network • Includes Classic Tor, Arti and ArtiHop Tor engines • Supports obfs4, Snowflake, WebTunnel, Conjure, ...

Portmaster Free v2.2.1 👉 Take complete control of your computer's network traffic and protect your privacy. Portmaster Free is a powerful open-source application firewall and privacy manager that lets you see, understand, and control every network connection made by your computer. Instead of simply allowing or blocking Internet access, Portmaster provides detailed visibility into which applications are communicating, where they are connecting, and what protocols they are using.

It also secures DNS requests, provides extensive per-application and global network controls, and gives advanced users the flexibility to create highly customized filtering rules.

Privacy Badger v2024.7.17
Privacy Badger v2024.7.17 A browser extension that automatically learns to block invisible trackers. Privacy Badger is a browser extension that stops advertisers and other third-party trackers from secretly tracking where you go and what pages you look at on the web. If an advertiser seems to be tracking you across multiple websites without your permission, Privacy Badger automatically blocks that advertiser from loading any more content in your browser. To the advertiser, it’s like you suddenly disappeared. How is Privacy Badger different from other blocking extensions? Privacy Badger was born out of our desire to be able to recommend a single extension that would automatically analyze and block any tracker or ad that violated the principle of user consent; which could function well without any settings, knowledge, or configuration by the user; which is produced by an organization that is unambiguously working for its users rather than for advertisers; and which uses algorithmic methods to decide what is and isn’t tracking. As a result, Privacy Badger differs from traditional ad-blocking extensions in two key ways. First, while most other blocking extensions prioritize blocking ads, Privacy Badger is purely a tracker-blocker. The extension doesn’t block ads unless they happen to be tracking you; in fact, one of our goals is to incentivize advertisers to adopt better privacy practices. Second, most other blockers rely on a human-curated list of domains or URLs to block. Privacy Badger is an algorithmic tracker blocker – we define what “tracking” looks like, and then Privacy Badger blocks or restricts domains that it observes tracking in the wild. What is and isn’t considered a tracker is entirely based on how a specific domain acts, not on human judgment. How does Privacy Badger work? When you view a webpage, that page will often be made up of content from many different sources. (For ...

Vorn v1.0.3
Vorn v1.0.3 👉 Fast, private, crash-safe backup program with advanced features. Vorn is a modern local-first backup application designed to securely protect files without relying on cloud services, subscriptions, accounts, or telemetry. Instead of uploading data to external servers, Vorn stores everything inside a local vault controlled entirely by the user. The software uses content-addressable storage powered by BLAKE3 hashing, allowing duplicate data to be stored only once even across multiple backup sessions. This greatly reduces storage usage while improving backup efficiency. Vorn was built with reliability and data integrity in mind. It uses atomic writes, write-ahead logging, resumable operations, and integrity verification to help prevent corruption during crashes or unexpected shutdowns. Large files are automatically divided into chunks, making backups more resilient and easier to resume if interrupted. Optional gzip compression can reduce storage requirements further while maintaining compatibility with the portable vault format. The application features a clean desktop interface with dark and light themes, portable executables, and cross-platform support for Windows, macOS, and Linux systems. Since the backup vault is self-contained and self-describing, users can move backups between systems or restore files to different locations without depending on proprietary cloud infrastructure. Vorn is designed for users who want complete control of their backups while maintaining speed, privacy, and simplicity. Features: • Local-first backup architecture with no cloud dependency • Fully offline operation with no accounts or telemetry • Content-addressable storage using fast BLAKE3 hashing • Automatic deduplication across all backup sessions • Stores identical file content only once to save disk space • Chunked storage engine for efficient handling of large files • Resumable backup operations after interruptions or crashes • Atomic write protection for safer backup transactions • Write-ahead logging to improve recovery reliability • Self-describing portable vault format • Integrity verification to detect damaged or missing data • Optional gzip compression for reduced storage usage • Smart pruning system for reclaiming unused ...
