UFTP
Encrypted UDP based FTP with multicast
UFTP is an encrypted multicast file transfer program, designed to securely, reliably, and efficiently transfer files to multiple receivers simultaneously. This is useful for distributing large files to a large number of receivers, and is especially useful for data distribution over a satellite link (with two way communication), where the inherent delay makes any TCP based communication highly inefficient. The multicast encryption scheme is based on TLS with extensions to allow multiple receivers to share a common key. UFTP also has the capability to communicate over disjoint networks separated by one or more firewalls (NAT traversal) and without full end-to-end multicast capability (multicast tunneling) through the use of a UFTP proxy server. These proxies also provide scalability by aggregating responses from a group of receivers. -

SoftEther VPN
Cross-platform multi-protocol VPN software
An open-source free cross-platform multi-protocol VPN program, as an academic project from University of Tsukuba, under the Apache License 2.0. The API Suite allows you to easily develop your original SoftEther VPN Server management application to control the VPN Server (e.g. creating users, adding Virtual Hubs, disconnecting a specified VPN sessions) from JavaScript, TypeScript, C# or other languages. SoftEther VPN ("SoftEther" means "Software Ethernet") is one of the world's most powerful and easy-to-use multi-protocol VPN software. It runs on Windows, Linux, Mac, FreeBSD and Solaris. SoftEther VPN is an optimum alternative to OpenVPN and Microsoft's VPN servers. SoftEther VPN has a clone-function of OpenVPN Server. You can integrate from OpenVPN to SoftEther VPN smoothly. SoftEther VPN is faster than OpenVPN. SoftEther VPN also supports Microsoft SSTP VPN for Windows Vista / 7 / 8. No more need to pay expensive charges for Windows Server license for Remote-Access VPN function. -

SSHTOOLS
Java SSH API
This project now hosts the third-generation of Java SSH API, Maverick Synergy. This API builds on the Maverick Legacy commercial APIs and delivers a new API in a unified client/server framework. This API is available to the community under the LGPL open source license. This update includes ed25519 support, support for the new OpenSSH private key file format and stronger key exchange algorithms. The project continues to host both the original API and legacy applications created around it, however, these are now considered deprecated and we do not recommend their use in anyway. -

NetBird
Connect your devices into a secure WireGuard-based overlay network
NetBird is an open-source solution that builds a WireGuard®-based overlay network enabling seamless, encrypted peer-to-peer connectivity without the complexity of firewall rules, port forwarding, or centralized VPN gateways. It integrates access control features such as SSO and MFA for secure, policy-driven networking. Every machine in the network runs NetBird Agent (or Client) that manages WireGuard. Every agent connects to Management Service that holds network state, manages peer IPs, and distributes network updates to agents (peers). NetBird agent uses WebRTC ICE implemented in pion/ice library to discover connection candidates when establishing a peer-to-peer connection between machines. -

WiFi DensePose
Turn WiFi signals into real-time human pose estimation and detection
WiFi DensePose is a production-oriented implementation of a WiFi-based human pose estimation system that enables real-time full-body tracking using wireless signals rather than cameras. The project demonstrates how commodity mesh routers and signal processing techniques can be leveraged to infer dense human pose information, even through obstacles such as walls. It is designed to showcase the emerging field of RF-based sensing, where machine learning models interpret wireless channel data to reconstruct human movement and posture. The repository includes components for data processing, model inference, and real-time visualization, making it suitable for research and experimental deployments. Its architecture emphasizes performance and reproducibility, allowing developers to explore non-visual motion capture systems using accessible hardware. Overall, WiFi DensePose functions as an advanced research-grade toolkit for WiFi-based human sensing and pose estimation. -
