Anonip replaces all IP addresses in a text file with a seemingly random one in a intelligent way. It is intended to anonymize the sensitive IP data in a file so that this file can be distributed without exposing one to security or privacy risks.

Thousands of users around the globe rely on Firewall Builder to help simplify their firewall management. Here are just a few of the reasons new users are joining the Firewall Builder community every day. Instead of dealing with cryptic command lines Firewall Builder provides an easy-to-use interface that lets users drag-and-drop objects to create even the most complex firewall rules. From a single management application Firewall Builder supports a wide range of firewalls including Linux iptables, BSD pf, Cisco router access lists, Cisco ASA/PIX, Cisco FWSM and many more (complete list). Firewall Builder stores all user defined objects, like IP networks and server addresses, in a central database. Once an object is created it can be used in rules on multiple firewalls including different types of firewalls. Firewalls are more than just rules. Firewall Builder can also manage other critical device configurations like network interfaces and static routes.

Though precise statistics are difficult to obtain, PHP is undeniably a top choice as a Website building language. Since October 2009, the TIOBE Programming Community Index has PHP holding third place -- behind Java and C -- among programming languages overall. Regardless of the exact extent of PHP's usage, you need only consider that Web sites such as Facebook -- which manages millions of users and petabytes of content -- use PHP; workloads of that magnitude demand a serious programming language and supporting environment.

You can't build a world-class Website without a good development environment. In the case of PHP, the development environment must be particularly capable; a PHP programmer will rarely be programming only in PHP. PHP is necessarily entwined with HTML and JavaScript on the front end and with SQL on the back end. Consequently, a good PHP IDE must allow the developer to work with equal ease in multiple languages (both programming and markup) and contexts.

In this article, we examine eight IDEs: ActiveState's Komodo IDE, CodeLobster PHP Edition, Eclipse PHP Development Tools (PDT), MPSoftware's phpDesigner, NetBeans IDE for PHP, NuSphere's PhpED, WaterProof's PHPEdit, and Zend Studio. All of these PHP toolkits offer strong support for the other languages and environments (HTML, CSS, JavaScript, SQL database) that a PHP developer encounters. The key differences we discovered were in the tools they provide (HTML inspector, SQL management system) for various tasks, the quality of their documentation, and general ease-of-use.
