This package provides a wireless network and device detector, sniffer, wardriving tool, and WIDS (wireless intrusion detection) framework. Kismet works with Wi-Fi interfaces, Bluetooth interfaces, some SDR (software defined radio) hardware like the RTLSDR, and other specialized capture hardware

SRT is a transport technology that optimizes streaming performance across unpredictable networks, such as the Internet.

whois searches for an object in a WHOIS (RFC 3912) database. It is commonly used to look up the registered users or assignees of an Internet resource, such as a domain name, an IP address block, or an autonomous system. It can automatically select the appropriate server for most queries.

For historical reasons, this package also includes mkpasswd, which encrypts passwords using crypt(3) and is unrelated to the Expect command of the same name.

Libproxy handles the details of HTTP/HTTPS proxy configuration for applications across all scenarios. Applications using libproxy only have to specify which proxy to use.

The IP class allows a comfortable parsing and handling for most notations in use for IPv4 and IPv6 addresses and networks.

The ngtcp2 project is an effort to implement the RFC9000 (IETF) QUIC protocol.

PageKite implements a tunneled reverse proxy which makes it easy to make a service (such as an HTTP or SSH server) on localhost visible to the wider Internet, even behind NAT or restrictive firewalls. A managed front-end relay service is available at https://pagekite.net/, or you can run your own.

Quagga is a routing software suite, providing implementations of OSPFv2, OSPFv3, RIP v1 and v2, RIPng and BGP-4 for Unix platforms.

The Quagga architecture consists of a core daemon, zebra, which acts as an abstraction layer to the underlying Unix kernel and presents the Zserv API over a Unix or TCP stream to Quagga clients. It is these Zserv clients which typically implement a routing protocol and communicate routing updates to the zebra daemon.

ipcalc takes an IP address and netmask and calculates the resulting broadcast, network, Cisco wildcard mask, and host range. By giving a second netmask, you can design subnets and supernets. It is also intended to be a teaching tool and presents the subnetting results as easy-to-understand binary values.

lcsync is a tool to sync files over IPv6 multicast or the local filesystem. It splits the file into blocks, hashes them, and compares them in order to efficiently transfer a minimal amount of data.

Nload is a console application which monitors network traffic and bandwidth usage in real time. It visualizes the in- and outgoing traffic using two graphs, and provides additional info like total amount of transferred data and min/max network usage.

ENet's purpose is to provide a relatively thin, simple and robust network communication layer on top of UDP. The primary feature it provides is optional reliable, in-order delivery of packets. ENet omits certain higher level networking features such as authentication, server discovery, encryption, or other similar tasks that are particularly application specific so that the library remains flexible, portable, and easily embeddable.

The lksctp-tools project provides a user-space library for SCTP (libsctp) and C language header files (netinet/sctp.h) for accessing SCTP-specific APIs not provided by the standard sockets. It also includes some SCTP-related helper utilities.

This package provides a control tool for the B.A.T.M.A.N. mesh networking routing protocol provided by the Linux kernel module batman-adv, for Layer 2.

libnatpmp is a portable and asynchronous implementation of the Network Address Translation - Port Mapping Protocol (NAT-PMP) written in the C programming language.

NetAddr::IP manages IPv4 and IPv6 addresses and subsets.

Net::Bonjour is a set of modules that allow one to discover local services via multicast DNS (mDNS) or enterprise services via traditional DNS. This method of service discovery has been branded as Bonjour by Apple Computer.

RTMPdump is a toolkit for RTMP streams. All forms of RTMP are supported, including rtmp://, rtmpt://, rtmpe://, rtmpte://, and rtmps://.

Netperf is a benchmark that can be used to measure the performance of many different types of networking. It provides tests for both unidirectional throughput, and end-to-end latency. The environments currently measurable by netperf include: TCP and UDP via BSD Sockets for both IPv4 and IPv6, DLPI, Unix Domain Sockets, SCTP for both IPv4 and IPv6.

Netdiscover is a network address discovery tool developed mainly for wireless networks without a DHCP server. It also works on hub/switched networks. It is based on ARP packets, it will send ARP requests and sniff for replies.

FRRouting (FRR) is an IP routing protocol suite which includes protocol daemons for BGP, IS-IS, LDP, OSPF, PIM, and RIP.

Pixiewps implements the pixie-dust attack to brute force the Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS) PIN by exploiting the low or non-existing entropy of some access points.

vnStat is a console-based network traffic monitor that keeps a log of network traffic for the selected interface(s). It uses the network interface statistics provided by the kernel as information source. This means that vnStat won't actually be sniffing any traffic and also ensures light use of system resources regardless of network traffic rate.
