Open Source Linux Archiving Software

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

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...

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.

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).

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.

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.

CrococryptFile is a file encryption tool which creates encrypted archives of files and folders. The encryption features of CrococryptFile can be compared to a ZIP utility that uses ZIP's AES encryption. However, there are significant differences. CrococryptFile... - encrypts all file and folder information including filenames, time/date and filesize information, - disguises any information of the archive's content, because all data and meta-data is simply integrated into a giant file dump. =Crypto Suites= For a full list of and details about supported crypto suites, please visit the CrococryptFile Homepage. Examples: - Password-based encryption (following PBKDF2) with AES-256, Twofish, Serpent, ... - Public key encryption using GPG/OpenPGP, Windows Keystore/CAPI with RSA/X.509 certificates - Cloaked (headerless) Password-based Encryption (AES-Twofish-256 cascaded) - ...

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.

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

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

The RAZip bitstream format was designed to provide a faster random access to compressed data than what is currently possible using the GZIP format. During the desing phase, some other features were added, like encryption and error correction.

Fast files encryption (AES-GCM) package and command-line tool built for speed with Go ⚡ Examples: - Encrypt a path with default options > safelock-cli encrypt path_to_encrypt encrypted_file_path - Decrypt a file > safelock-cli decrypt encrypted_file_path decrypted_files_path - If you want it to run silently with no interaction > echo "password123456" | safelock-cli encrypt path_to_encrypt encrypted_file_path --quiet

A program to calculate and verify checksums of multiple files with wizard-like GUI. Supports 12 hashes: CRC32, MD2, MD4, MD5, SHA1, SHA2, RIPEMD,Whirlpool, ED2K, AICH, Tiger, TTH. Allows processing of nested directories and updating of checksum files

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.

NoFault is a library written in C used to encrypt or decrypt data with XOR encryption. KNoFault, NoFault32 and CLNoFault are direct applications of the library, which is easy to use in your own programs.

*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

BWTC32Key is a program I wrote that compresses data, then optionally encrypts it, and then outputs a Base32768 representation as the final output

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.
