SourceSafe for Unix SSU (SourceSafe for Unix) provides command-line access to local and remote Source Safe/VSS repositories through TCP. speed Speed is a simple program to add a transfer meter to any console or terminal based copy program. It allows you to easily report Kilobytes or Megabytes per second when using programs that do not report file transfer speeds (such as 'cp' or 'ftp'). Spines Spines is a generic messaging infrastructure that provides transparent unicast and multicast communication over dynamic, multi-hop networking environments without the need for expensive router programming environments or low level router coding. It provides automatic reconfiguration and network flexibility required both for research and production deployments. SquidTL SquidTL allows proxy administrators to configure how much time users can spend on a specific Web site. sslh sslh lets one accept both HTTPS and SSH connections on the same port. It makes it possible to connect to an SSH server on port 443 (e.g. from inside a corporate firewall) while still serving HTTPS on that port. StoneVPN StoneVPN is a system that makes it easy to create certificates and configuration files for use with an OpenVPN server for both Windows and Linux users. Storage Resource Broker The SDSC Storage Resource Broker (SRB) is client-server middleware that provides a uniform interface for connecting to heterogeneous data resources over a network and accessing replicated data sets. SRB, in conjunction with the Metadata Catalog (MCAT), provides a way to access data sets and resources based on their attributes and/or logical names rather than their names or physical locations. STPsim STPsim is an application that simulates and visualizes switches using the Spanning Tree Protocol. It features a GUI to build and control a custom network topology. surl surl is a URL shortening command line application that supports various sites. It supports stdin or filename input. tc-viewer tc-viewer provides the ability to watch current transfers that take place in HTB and HFSC traffic shaping classes on specified interface. TCP Knocking TCP Knocking provides a port knocking implementation that attempts to solve problems of opening firewalls to provide remote access by incorporating the knock into unused fields in the TCP handshake sequence packets, rather than using UDP packets with secret ports. TCP/IP pipes TCP/IP pipes provides a simple set of utilites with examples for making finger services, TCP connection testers, echo servers, redirection services, TCP wrappers, etc. tcp_banner Tcp Banner allows you to place a banner message on a given port (and IP). This is useful if you have moved an application to another port or IP address. The inbound connection gets presented with the message you define and then gets disconnected. This makes use of the socklib library. tcpdump2ascii tcpdump2ascii is a small perl utility which parses the hex output from 'tcpdump -x' and displays this as ASCII. tcpflow tcpflow captures data transmitted as part of TCP connections (flows), and stores it in a way that is convenient for protocol analysis or debugging. tcpify tcpify is a couple of wrapper programs that allow simple commands to communicate using TCP sockets. It works by replacing the standard input and output channels by a connected socket. tcpindex Tcpindex captures packets from a LAN and indexes all of the strings from those packets in an inverted index so they can be efficiently searched using keywords. Think of it like a simple search engine for packets across the network. tcpmd5 tcpmd5 signs packets with an MD5 hash as defined in RFC2385, which is in practice used for BGP session protection. It does not require any kernel or routing daemon (e.g. quagga) TCP-MD5 support. tcpsound tcpsound plays sounds in response to network traffic permitting a user to literally listen to a network. Specifically tcpsound forks a pseudo terminal in which to run tcpdump(8), parses that output, and plays a wide variety of user configuable sounds. ThinTUX Terminal Server Project ThinTUX Terminal Server Project is a solution that enables any business to deploy centralized applications to thin clients. Traffic Control Traffic Control is a revision of the Linux network traffic control infrastructure that aims to make the configuration language less cryptic, and provide better interfaces for software and hardware accelerators. TrueCL TrueCL aims to provide advanced high availability clustering across larger clusters. It has currently been tested with up to 8 nodes. tunctl tunctl is a small tool for controlling Linux TUN/TAP devices. TUN/TAP devices are virtual network devices where software emulates the wire. ucspi-tcp ucspi-tcp contains tcpserver and tcpclient, which are easy-to-use command-line tools for building TCP client-server applications. uperf uperf is a network performance tool that supports modelling and replay of various networking patterns. It represents the next generation benchmarking tools (like filebench) where instead of running a fixed benchmark or workload, a description (or model) of the workload is provided and the tool generates the load according to the model. utcpdump utcpdump is a slimmed-down version of LBL tcpdump 3.4 developed for Trinux but suitable for inclusion in other floppy or low-footprint Linux distributions. Vblade Vblade is a software-based AoE target, a virtual EtherDrive Blade. It exports local block storage to hosts on an ethernet local area network. Hosts with an ATA over Ethernet (AoE) initiator, like the aoe driver for Linux, can then access the storage over the ethernet. Venezia Venezia is a client for Charle P. Wright's c-mserver. It was developed using gtk under Linux. vpntool vpntool is a cross-platform GUI applet for managing VPNC connections, connecting to Cisco virtual private networks. WANsim WANsim allows you to simulate (more accurately, emulate) a WAN connection. In particular, it allows a user to change the emulated WAN speed, latency, variation, packet loss, packet duplication, and packet corruption aspects. Webresolve Webresolve is used in conjunction with a log analyzer to get hostnames rather than IP addresses in the statistics. It speeds up resolution by running several processes in parallel. Wheretero Wheretero determines the country where the local computer is. This allows automatic keyboard layout configuration for live-CDs. wol wol implements Wake On LAN functionality in a small program. It wakes up hardware that is Magic Packet compliant. wzfusker Wzfusker is a small clone of fusker, which was a program that could be used to download parts of Web sites. It provides several tools to make selective mirroring easier, including selecting only URLs or images from the page and regex-based matching of links. Xealous Nets Xealous Nets is a set of programs that let you perform network calculations. They are useful and handy for the typical network administrator as they allow classful calculations and classless (CIDR) calculations, combining the functionality given by several online similar calculators in one single and portable package with a simple and effective command line interface. XtekRouter Free XtekRouter Free offers a linux router for your home or small office network. Yet Another Flowmeter Yet Another Flowmeter (YAF) is a tool for network flow capture, primarily designed to operate efficiently on white box hardware and generate IPFIX flow records. It is designed to operate primarily on Unix-based systems (including Mac OS X), and is supported by the Network Situational Awareness team at CERT. zfec zfec is a fast, portable, and programmable implementation of erasure coding. It includes a C library, a Python library, and a command-line tool. Erasure coding is also known as "forward error correction", which is the generation of redundant blocks of information such that if some blocks are lost then the original data can be recovered from the remaining blocks. ZFN ZFN (the Zero-Configuration File Network) aims to be a standards-compliant distributed network system targeted at home users and small businesses. It requires little to no initial set-up once installed, and can share files between computers of any operating system. zinq-daemontools zinq-daemontools is a fork of Daniel Bernstein's daemontools. zinq-ucspi-tcp zinq-ucspi-tcp is a fork of Daniel Bernstein's ucspi-tcp. ZipCracker ZipCracker is a program to help users recover files from password protected zip archives. It has a easy to use Gnome User interface.
