WINDOWS 95 & 98
Tool Description
KarlBridge The KarlBridge package by Doug Karl. A program that runs on a PC with two Ethernet boards, turning the PC into a sophisticated, high-level, packet-filtering bridge. It can filter packets based on any specified protocol, including IP, XNS, DECNET, LAT, IPX, AppleTalk, etc.
FakeDOS FakeDoS is a PC password system that, when executed from the AUTOEXEC.BAT file, will present the user with an apparently normal DOS prompt on bootup. However, the system is actually waiting for the correct password to be typed in.
LOCK'M-UP The LogTime program logs the current time into a file, maintaining the last 170 entries stored. This can be useful when placed in AUTOEXEC.BAT as a method of tracking the use of a computer.
Login The Login utility allows the creation of authorized usernames and their associated passwords. A user must type their correct password before being given access to the system.
NAVYPASS The NAVYPASS program, when loaded as the first program in AUTOEXEC.BAT, allows normal execution only when the user has provided the correct password. It may also be used to "lock" the computer while unattended.
PASSWORD.SYS PASSWORD.SYS is a CONFIG.SYS device driver that prompts for a password when the system is booted. It will prevent system access until the correct password is entered.
PASSWRD5.ASM PASSWRD5.ASM is used to produce a device driver (PASSWRD.SYS) that may be included in the CONFIG.SYS file. On machine startup, this driver will ask the userto provide a password. The user is repeatedly asked for the password until the correct one is given.
PC-Sentry

PC-Sentry is a collection of programs and utilities to provide security and accountability on PC's and PC networks. The heart of the system is PCS.EXE, a TSR (memory resident) program that maintains daily log files of file based computer activity. It will log all files opened, deleted, created, copied, directories created and deleted, time changes, commands issued from the DOS prompt, and much more. In addition, it will keep a record of average keystrokes per minute and periods of keyboard inactivity. Most logging functions can be toggled on or off at load time to allow the user to customize the logging capabilities of the program. PCS.EXE can also be loaded in a "Quiet" mode so the user will never be aware it is running.

PC-Sentry is also available in a network version. It operates much the same as the single user version except that it will maintain its log files on a specified network drive. It will also automatically detect whether or not the user is logged into the network, and maintain its log files on the local drive when the network connection is broken, and automatically switch back to the network drive when the connection is re-established.

PW.EXE PW.EXE will prompt a user for a password. The use password will be validated against the password file specified in the execution command line. PW.EXE disables the Control-C and Control-Break key sequences. A valid password must be entered or the program will not continue.
The Gate The Gate is an accounting package for PC systems. It creates a log of users, their passwords, dates, and start and stop times of specified activities.
Random Password Generator This password generator was developed at Westinghouse Savannah River Company and was presented at the 1997 DOE Information Security Training Conference by Wendall Mayson. This utility creates reasonable, random passwords in a user-friendly way that satisfy the DOE Order requirements. The utility is written in Visual Basic and runs on Windows computers.
