I want to monitor my network against DDoS and found a screen shot of DDoS monitoring alert by someone. Can any one let me know which software is this after seeing snap shot.
I don't recognise this specific gui, but it could be a customization of snort Gui's.
You can use snort to achive your goal, there are 4 snort gui project active by today.
here is a description:
BASE
The Basic Analysis and Security Engine was based off of the old ACID code codebase. The ACID GUI interface (which is now dead, and has been for about five or six years) was a college project written by an attendee of Carnegie Mellon. It hasn't been actively developed since about 2003. BASE, a fork of the ACID code, picked up where the original author left off, added a bunch of new features, and made it easy to use, multi-language, and a highly functional GUI. There were plans for a redesign of BASE, including the database format that it reads from, but Kevin Johnson, the original BASE project manager has since left the project and turned the project over to new management. However, it remains the most popular Snort GUI interface with over 215,000 downloads. BASE is written in PHP, and has several dependencies. BASE has it's own IRC channel #secureideas, although there is rarely anyone there, so most people come to the default #snort for help.
Snorby
A relative newcomer to the Snort GUI area, Snorby uses a lot of "Web 2.0" effects and rendering providing the user with a very sharp and beautifully functioning tool. This seems to be the current "go-to" web interface for Snort. While it has many of the features of BASE (and a lot more, hotkeys, classifications, an iOS interface, and actual pdf reporting), and not as featured as SGUIL (in terms of architecture), it's extremely easy to deploy, looks fantastic, and functions as an alert browser very well. Snorby's code is hosted on Github, here. Another advantage of Snorby is that it integrates with the OpenFPC project. Functioning similar to how SGUIL collects all information on the network using Full Packet Capture (FPC), Snorby gives you the ability to not only view the Snort alert, but also to view the alerts in context with the rest of the packet flow on the network. Snorby's IRC channel can be found at #snorby.
SQueRT
Paul wrote in about SQueRT. SQueRT uses the SGuil database format and is also web based. You can see the screenshots and download it at the link above.
There is a comparison of that three too here
There are many more projects but are currently inactive with exception of the squil. The most active projects by today, that you can use are SQueRT and Snorby

I wanna understand the extent of node js?
Is it used only for mobile web apps to handle server side or can it be used to develop a full fledged web app for all device configuration(like replacing ruby and rails).
I found some examples but all seems to be mobile web apps.
Is it like companies like
Aibnb,
Linkeddin... etc
developed two sites, one with nodejs as backend and other with ruby and rails and depending on the device they route to that site.
Please give me some favourable inputs so that my confusion can be calmed.
Node.js is not just for mobile apps. This question How to decide when to use Node.js? gives a good analysis of when to use nodejs.
But, to sum up a bit:
Node is good when you have a lot of short lived requests that don't require heavy CPU processing.
Node is good if you want to use all javascript
One disadvantage with node is that there are a lot of javascript packages that do similar things - the environment isn't as mature or as standardized as other languages (maybe this isn't a negative to you though)
Mobile applications often lend themselves to using node because they often follow the pattern of many short lived requests, e.g. look up something from a database.
There are tradeoffs, such as as that you will be using a fully dynamic language across your entire stack (not for the weak at heart).
So to recap, node is not just for mobile apps, but you should do some research to understand why you might use node.
Node can be used to produce many more solutions than just providing for mobile devices. Some solutions include command line tools (ex. Grunt), applications (ex. crawler), web services (ex. RESTful services), and full-fledged web sites (ex. hummingbird). Lastly if you want an example framework for constructing standard HTML (desktop or otherwise) web apps in node, see Jade.
As to which framework a company chooses often there are several APIs provided. As their web services communicate with standard XML or JSON documents, communication between servers doesn't necessary need to be written in the same language.

I'm having some trouble recently with the open source licenses. I started to feel like if they are somehow tricky! So, I'm just asking about the rights, attribution and so on..
Know, if I for example used a Ruby Gem, licensed under GPL, I install the gem, use it, my web app works! But there is no referring to the Gem, how is behind it, its license. I can't just believe that I have to include those for every gem I'm using. Do I have to? Or can I just use it silently?
So, a website with Rails (MIT), some GPL ruby gems, and so on, what should I include publicly? I think I'm not going to modify the source code of any of those gems.. Yeah, and if I have to attribute in my web pages, do I have to link to the licenses or even worse distribute my source code under the same license?
Also, if I found a tutorial or something like that that is licensed under Creative Commons BY-NC, should I distribute my whole work or put it under the same license, if I wasn't going to run them outside my own server? What if I wanted to distribute my software, which used ideas (and modified code) from the tutorial?
What about using formulas, which are more general than being owned? One-liner commands from stackoverflow when a gem doesn't install - Should I attribute that I used that to install the gem?! I think of course not, but just asking to make sure of the whole thing..
A website is normally the output of a program. Like you save a text-document with your word processor in disk, the document itself does not fall under the reciprocal license of the proprietary word processor (MS Word) or the reciprocal and permissive licenses of the free software word processor (Open or Libre Office Writer).
Only in case you create and distribute derivative or combined works (e.g. packaging multiple programs together in one package) you need to care about the licenses.
That for sure always depends on the concrete things you do. You need to document these concrete things, then go to your lawyer and then find out for the stuff you exactly do if and how copyright is in effect and based on the licenses used and if in effect, which steps you need to do.
Here on SO we are all only software developers (or if lawyers, not your lawyer) so we can not give you any legal support.
Usually stuff about licences can be a little confusing with open source software being released under different licences and usually the license documentation is usually written in lawyer jargon which proves difficult to understand for a lot of people.
Luckily this kind of question has been asked alot of times in SO. Just look at the licensing tag and order the questions by votes and you should find a few questions that pretty much answer your questions. In particular look at this question.

I've just been redirected by a firend on the uniGUI website. In a previous question I asked about a comparison between Raudus and ExtPascal.
Now this unigui seems to be an alternative to Raudus, that moreover has the advantage of allowing you to compile the win32 exe at the same time with the same source code (of course if you limit yourself to use only uniGUI approved UI components).
I think this is amazing, even if this idea at a first sight willnot make happy all the web apps purists, but in my opionion having this kind of tool is great.
There are many (even small) applications, that can benefit for this code once, get a double UI.
Anyway which are your feelings about this? Do you think it has a future?
ADDITIONAL NOTE: In order not to start a general discussion please try to answer by mentioniong uniGUI specifically, not only a general answer. Thanks.
I started developing uniGUI (or whatever name it may adopt in future) around two years ago. Since then it has evolved a lot. Initial version was based on VCL for the Web. With addition of ExtPascal and Ext JS it has become a very advanced tool to develop Web apps based on Delphi.
uniGUI simply defines itself as a Web Application Development framework. The concept of Web Application has been controversial since its first inception. Some people claim that Web is stateless but applications are statefull, one should not mix these two. However, nowadays with an increasing demand for web applications such notions only remain as a philosophical point of view.
More and more people want to access their desktop apps from the internet. Companies want their local accounting software to be accessible to other branches. A security company wants a web gateway for their access control software. These are all examples for the increasing demand for web apps.
We can consider uniGUI as an abstraction layer for Delphi VCL controls which extends them to the Web. Like all other abstraction layers it helps developer to focus on application logic rather than the development tool itself. It tries to fully integrate the RAD approach into Delphi based Web development.
Dual nature of uniGUI is simply a plus. I'm referring to its ability to deploy same application to both web and desktop using same codebase. This feature maybe useful for some developers but useless for others and it can be completely ignored by those who focus on Web development only.
As for the scalability, the best target for uniGUI and other similar tools seems to be the intranet where the number of clients are predictable and connection speed is a non-issue.
That said, nothing prevents developers from developing web apps that target the internet. At end it is all Ext JS on the client side and Delphi event handlers on the server side. It all depends on how smart you design your app and how efficient you manage your resources. If each of your sessions consumes 10 MB of memory then you're likely to run out of memory very soon.
In conclusion, this framework will have a group of users which will find it best for their needs. There is no black or white here only big gray areas. Like any other tool it depends on the company, the particular project and the available deployment options to see if it is the right tool for you or not.
Web applications are very different from GUI ones. Mixing two approaches for something
more serious then simple form or several buttons I think is just wrong.
I think that the UniGUI idea is a great one. But I think that Embarcadero is the one that should offer that as one more option for developers instead of a independent one. Delphi developers always wanted an easy way to create web applications, and sincerely WebBroker is very poor.
Anyway which are your feelings about this? Do you think it has a future?
The general idea definitely has a future, if only in the PT Barnum sense. This particular implementation doesn't seem to be anything special - there's nothing in it that grabs me as being a great solution to any of the problems I currently have to deal with. But then, I see thick client apps, especially traditional Delphi 2 tier apps, as quite different from web apps.
I'd be more interested if uniGUI worked the other way, and provided a solid MVC framework for Delphi, then extended that to the web. That way you could more easily have your data + business logic + GUI in three connected pieces, rather than the traditional Delphi/RAD problem that business logic gets all tangled up in the GUI, then the web application is a pain to develop because the layers "have to be" separated. This smells like "solving" that problem by letting you leave the business logic mixed into the GUI when you move to the web.

I have an Access 2000 program handling the receiving of goods in the company.
I need to Export Inventory Items and Quantities to Quickbook (enterprise 2007?). I have a good handle on the Access program, but know nothing about quickbooks.
Can this be done? What would I need for it?
Look into the QuickBooks SDK, a free download from Intuit. It provides a COM object interface or XML interface to all of the QuickBooks data. Additionally, if you need to do this over a WAN, you can use the QuickBooks Web Connector to talk to QuickBooks asynchronously over a WAN.
QuickBooks integration is not a trivial thing to accomplish. There are many gotchas. Your best friend will be the Intuit Developer Network forums.
You do not want to use QIF, QFX, or IIF exports. They are deprecated formats which can cause data corruption. Additional information about various methods of integrating with QuickBooks can be found on this integration wiki page and on this QuickBooks integration wiki.
Take a look at the QuickBooks SDK. If you want something simpler to work with, QODBC (with the write capabilities), while not free, will probably be simpler to work with for Access.
Google is your friend here. Quickbooks has some primitive import capabilities, but there are a number of small products that do what you need. This guy seems to have some pretty good stuff. Essentially there are a couple of different text formats (QIF and OFX if memory serves) that are used for Quickbooks import, the problem with them is they don't do much error checking. There is also a Quickbooks SDK which allows you to make calls using COM (yum) to import, and that does full error checking (it actually calls into a running version of Quickbooks), but is probably overkill for what you want.
Take a look at Quickbooks SDK and Documentation. The SDK has two COM interface: QBFC and QBXML. The difference in using QBXML, you need to serialize and deserialize XML manually which isn't hard once you get the handle of it. And I find QBXML much more convenient since you can choose to include requests and responses you need.
Also, if you plan to use Quickbooks SDK, the Online Reference is your best friend.
+1 to Yishai. I've been using qodbc for about 10 years now and 4 or 5 different versions of quickbooks. qodbc utilizes a database-like syntax to interact with the company file.
UNLIKE any form of proper database interaction, do as little work as possible in your query itself, as the qodbc driver can take 10 seconds to 2 minutes to handle a dozen records from a table of roughly 1000 records. A process that can import 15 orders with 5 lines each means talking to customer, item, invoiceline, invoice tables and can take 5 minutes. Sadly, I often am reduced to building a MySql database based on mass exports while I sort out and understand the data. THEN I go back and try to make queries directly.
While being an ODBC data connection in windows is great, learn to distrust each link in your toolchain and figure out how to troubleshoot problems to prove aspects positively correct as well as positively wrong. My most recent problem was with QB11 on Win7 x64 computer. The php stack at the time was suspect and was causing errors. And please always try to perform error checking, which is somewhat painful in that environment, but becomes crucial when "something breaks later".
This very minute I'm researching the php stack for win7 to see if I can again trust it for use with qodbc and order importing. (exporting from magento)

Besides the sample applications featured in the books Beginning Groovy and Grails and The Definitive Guide to Grails, are there any applications out there written in Grails that are good examples from which to learn best practices? Such as real applications that are open-source? Thanks.
During my learning phase, I came across several good sample applications.
This sample web album app got me started on grails. It covers security, image upload / manipulation, basic crud etc.
http://www.syger.it/Tutorials/GrailsWebAlbum.html
Here's one from Glen Smith, author of the upcoming Grails in Action book. The source code to the groovy blog aggregator is located here:
http://code.google.com/p/groovyblogs/
Here's another one by Glen, a blog engine written with grails:
http://code.google.com/p/gravl/
And finally, here's the code to the grails.org site which includes wiki functionality:
http://github.com/grails/grails/tree/master/grails-samples/grails.org/
Yes. IBM has an excellent series of articles building on to a sample application at IBM's developerworks site:
Part I:

If you are interested in seeing an application which is pre-built which also incorporates the Grails specific testing practices and approaches (as well as some widely practised testing methods as used within Grails), the Winelovers application outlines a fully working app and a number of different testing angles which can be applied to create confidence and increase testing coverage for your apps.
https://svn.energizedwork.com/skunkworks/grails/WineLovers/
There is also a presentation which accompanies this which goes into samples and pros and cons.
I will be following up this work with a greater number of examples and further tutorial type updates to help draw out the benefits of testing this way and this much.
I'm adding Stephane's new application to the list:
Stephane Maldini ✆ to user show
details Oct 21 Hi folks,
I'm pleased to announce the release of
a relatively big grails App called
iceScrum
(http://www.icescrum.org/demo). Code
is under a mix of Apache Licence2 ,
LGPL and AGPL for the core
views/design (
http://github.com/icescrum/iceScrum ).
What you can expect to see in this
sample (and if you want to reuse the
view taglibs behind (140 and more
tags)
Jquery widgets : Tables, Postits, Windows, Widgets, Orderable Menu Bar,
Drag And Drop, Key shortcuts .........
Real time push for jquery with ICEpush
Activity plugin ( "someone has done something")
AJAX paradigm for view (url is http://app/project/#view/action/id )
like GMAIL, history fully supported.
Application of SpringSecurity ACL, Springcache, Resources plugin and many
others
Window/Widget paradigm on controller just by adding static ui = true (use
icescrum Web Component plugins inside)
It will be released separatly when
time will come
Jasper integration
Jquery Chart integration
many many things which deserve a lot of documentation, at this time you
will have to explore yourself some
parts.
The app purpose is to offer to agile
teams a tool to share a dashboard (for
collaborative consultants etc),
reports, stories, track bugs and so.
It will have his own evolution + some
profressional services for better
integration in IT via plugins or
simply hosting.
