IGT GPU Tools is a collection of tools for development and testing of the Intel DRM driver. There are many macro-level test suites that get used against the driver, including xtest, rendercheck, piglit, and oglconform, but failures from those can be difficult to track down to kernel changes, and many require complicated build procedures or specific testing environments to get useful results. Therefore, IGT GPU Tools includes low-level tools and tests specifically for development and testing of the Intel DRM Driver.

This package provides a daemon for checking running and not running processes. It reads the /proc directory every n seconds and does a POSIX regexp on the process names. The daemon runs a user-provided script when it detects a program in the running processes, or an alternate script if it doesn't detect the program. The daemon can only be called by the root user, but can use sudo -u user in the process called if needed.

Utility to convert lsof output to a graph showing FIFO and UNIX interprocess communication.

The Stress Terminal UI displays graphs of the CPU frequency, utilization, temperature and power.

Fastfetch is a tool for fetching system information and displaying it in a stylized way. Fastfetch displays this information next to a logo of the system distribution, akin to many similar tools.

Bfs is a variant of the UNIX find command that operates breadth-first rather than depth-first. It is otherwise compatible with many versions of find, including POSIX, GNU, and *BSD find.

wpa_supplicant is a WPA Supplicant with support for WPA and WPA2 (IEEE 802.11i / RSN). Supplicant is the IEEE 802.1X/WPA component that is used in the client stations. It implements key negotiation with a WPA Authenticator and it controls the roaming and IEEE 802.11 authentication/association of the WLAN driver.

This package provides the wpa_supplicant daemon and the wpa_cli command.

This package contains a debugging tool for Allwinner devices (connects via USB OTG).

The GNU Shepherd is a daemon-managing daemon, meaning that it supervises the execution of system services, replacing similar functionality found in typical init systems. It provides dependency-handling through a convenient interface and is based on GNU Guile.

LaunchMON is a software infrastructure that enables HPC run-time tools to co-locate tool daemons with a parallel job. Its API allows a tool to identify all the remote processes of a job and to scalably launch daemons into the relevant nodes.

The smartmontools package contains utility programs to control and monitor storage systems using the Self-Monitoring, Analysis and Reporting Technology System (S.M.A.R.T.) built into most modern ATA and SCSI hard disks. In many cases, these utilities will provide advanced warning of disk degradation and failure.

Fastfetch is a tool for fetching system information and displaying it in a stylized way. Fastfetch displays this information next to a logo of the system distribution, akin to many similar tools.

stress-ng stress-tests a computer system by exercising both physical subsystems as operating system kernel interfaces. It can stress the CPU, cache, disk, memory, socket and pipe I/O, scheduling, and much more, in various selectable ways. This can trip hardware issues such as thermal overruns as well as operating system bugs that occur only when a system is being thrashed hard.

You can also measure test throughput rates, which can be useful to observe performance changes across different operating system releases or types of hardware. However, stress-ng is not a benchmark. Use it with caution: some of the tests can make poorly designed hardware run dangerously hot or make the whole system lock up.

Compared to its inspiration, stress, stress-ng offers many additional options such as the number of bogo operations to run, execution metrics, verification of memory and computational operations, and considerably more stress mechanisms.

jtbl accepts piped JSON data from stdin and outputs a text table representation to stdout.

SSHGuard protects hosts from brute-force attacks against SSH and other services. It aggregates system logs and blocks repeat offenders using one of several firewall backends.

HyFetch is a command-line system information tool fork of neofetch. HyFetch displays information about your system next to your OS logo in ASCII representation. The ASCII representation is then colored in the pattern of the pride flag of your choice. The main purpose of HyFetch is to be used in screenshots to show other users what operating system or distribution you are running, what theme or icon set you are using, etc.

Iftop does for network usage what top does for CPU usage. It listens to network traffic on a named interface and displays a table of current bandwidth usage by pairs of hosts.

This package provides a command line tool that can give numerous reports on memory usage on GNU/Linux systems.

libpcap is an interface for user-level packet capture. It provides a portable framework for low-level network monitoring. Applications include network statistics collection, security monitoring, network debugging, etc.

Tree is a recursive directory listing command that produces a depth indented listing of files, which is colorized ala dircolors if the LS_COLORS environment variable is set and output is to tty.

Resource monitor that shows usage and stats for processor, memory, disks, network and processes.

Pam-krb5 is a Kerberos PAM module for either MIT Kerberos or Heimdal. It supports ticket refreshing by screen savers, configurable authorization handling, authentication of non-local accounts for network services, password changing, and password expiration, as well as all the standard expected PAM features. It works correctly with OpenSSH, even with ChallengeResponseAuthentication and PrivilegeSeparation enabled, and supports extensive configuration either by PAM options or in krb5.conf or both. PKINIT is supported with recent versions of both MIT Kerberos and Heimdal and FAST is supported with recent MIT Kerberos.

C-ares is a C library that performs DNS requests and name resolution asynchronously. It is intended for applications which need to perform DNS queries without blocking, or need to perform multiple DNS queries in parallel. The primary examples of such applications are servers which communicate with multiple clients and programs with graphical user interfaces.
