JPortScan is a multi-threaded Java (AWT) based port scanner. While JPortScan will run on other systems, its GUI screens sizes were designed for the SL5000. JPortScan was compiled on a Slackware 9.1 Linux system using the 1.4.2_04 JDK from Sun. To try it out as an applet, click here.

JCryptPad is a text file creation, editing, and encryption utility written for the Sharp SL5x000 Zaurus handheld computer. JCryptPad was compiled on a Slackware 9.1 Linux system using the 1.4.2_04 JDK from Sun, and it uses Markus Hahn's open source Blowfish for Java encryption code.

JCryptPad was included in the C'T Magazine 2003 Special Handheld Issue's CDROM

For those who wish to run JCryptPad on their Windows desktop, download the following file: jcryptpad_072_win.zip It contains the same jar files as the Zaurus ipk file, but has a Windows specific JCryptPad.properties file and a jcryptpad.bat file to launch the program. Be sure to edit both files to better suit your system's setup.

JCryptPad v0.72.1 (ipk)
