daemonize runs a command as a Unix daemon. It will close all open file descriptors, change working directory of the process to the root filesystem, reset its umask, run in the background, ignore I/O signals, handle SIGCHLD, etc. Most programs that are designed to be run as daemons do that work for themselves. However, you’ll occasionally run across one that does not. When you must run a daemon program that does not properly make itself into a true Unix daemon, you can use daemonize to force it to run as a true daemon.

Facter is a tool that gathers basic facts about nodes (systems) such as hardware details, network settings, OS type and version, and more. These facts can be collected on the command line with the facter command or via the facter Ruby library.

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.

The libcap-ng library is intended to make programming with POSIX capabilities easier than the traditional libcap library. It includes utilities that can analyse all currently running applications and print out any capabilities and whether or not it has an open ended bounding set. The included utilities are designed to let admins and developers spot apps from various ways that may be running with too much privilege.

Autojump provides a faster way to navigate your file system, with a "cd command that learns". It works by maintaining a database of the directories you use the most from the command line and allows you to "jump" to frequently used directories by typing only a small pattern.

Inxi is a system information script that can display various things about your hardware and software to users in an IRC chatroom or support forum. It runs with the /exec command in most IRC clients.

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.

The Cactus File Manager (cfm) helps you manage your files visually from a text terminal. It aims to be simple and fast, with key bindings inspired by vi.

This package provides a system fetch tool, similar to neofetch, fastfetch, etc. It is lightweight and has a focus on performance.

The Ansible roles provided by that can be used to manage Debian or Ubuntu hosts. In addition, a default set of Ansible playbooks can be used to apply the provided roles in a controlled way, using Ansible inventory groups.

The roles are written with a high customization in mind, which can be done using Ansible inventory. This way the role and playbook code can be shared between multiple environments, with different configuration in to each one.

Services can be managed on a single host, or spread between multiple hosts. DebOps provides support for different SQL and NoSQL databases, web servers, programming languages and specialized applications useful in a data center environment or in a cluster. The project can also be used to deploy virtualization environments using KVM/libvirt, Docker or LXC technologies to manage virtual machines and/or containers.

This package provides a graphical console greeter for greetd. It doesn't need a Wayland compositor to be used.

Sipcalc is an advanced command-line IP subnet calculator. It can take multiple forms of input (IPv4/IPv6/interface/hostname) and output a multitude of information about a given subnet.

Features include:

• IPv4

  • Retrieving of address information from interfaces.

  • Classfull and CIDR output.

  • Multiple address and netmask input and output formats (dotted quad, hex, number of bits).

  • Output of broadcast address, network class, Cisco wildcard, hosts/range, network range.

  • The ability to split a network based on a smaller netmask, now also with recursive runs on the generated subnets. (also IPv6)

• IPv6

  • Compressed and expanded input and output addresses.

  • Standard IPv6 network output.

  • v4 in v6 output.

  • Reverse DNS address generation.

Rdfind is a command line tool that finds duplicate files based on their content instead of their file names. It is useful for compressing backup directories or just finding duplicate files.

The ACPICA project provides an OS-independent reference implementation of the ACPI specification. ACPICA code contains those portions of ACPI meant to be directly integrated into the host OS as a kernel-resident subsystem, and a small set of tools to assist in developing and debugging ACPI tables.

This package contains only the user-space tools needed for ACPI table development, not the kernel implementation of ACPI.

This package provides an implementation of the MAC-Telnet protocol used by RouterOS devices. It provides the following commands:

macping

Ping RouterOS devices or mactelnetd hosts.

mactelnetd

MAC-Telnet daemon.

mactelnet

MAC-Telnet client.

mndp

Discover other RouterOS devices or mactelnetd hosts.

Ktsuss stands for ``Keep the su simple, stupid''. It is a graphical version of su written in C and GTK+ 2, with simplicity in mind.

Fail2Ban scans log files like /var/log/auth.log and bans IP addresses conducting too many failed login attempts. It does this by updating system firewall rules to reject new connections from those IP addresses, for a configurable amount of time. Fail2Ban comes out-of-the-box ready to read many standard log files, such as those for sshd and Apache, and is easily configured to read any log file of your choosing, for any error you wish.

Though Fail2Ban is able to reduce the rate of incorrect authentication attempts, it cannot eliminate the risk presented by weak authentication. Set up services to use only two factor, or public/private authentication mechanisms if you really want to protect services.

This package provides a tiny system info utility.

Dool is a command line tool to monitor many aspects of your system: CPU, Memory, Network, Load Average, etc. It also includes a robust plug-in architecture to allow monitoring other system metrics.

This package provides a program that collects various performance measurement data like CPU, memory, disk and network performance numbers.

ngrep is like GNU grep applied to the network layer. It's a PCAP-based tool that allows you to specify an extended regular or hexadecimal expression to match against data payloads of packets. It understands many kinds of protocols, including IPv4/6, TCP, UDP, ICMPv4/6, IGMP and Raw, across a wide variety of interface types, and understands BPF filter logic in the same fashion as more common packet sniffing tools, such as tcpdump and snoop.

Detox is a program that renames files to make them easier to work with under Unix and related operating systems. Spaces and various other unsafe characters (such as "$") get replaced with "_". ISO 8859-1 (Latin-1) characters can be replaced as well, as can UTF-8 characters.

Ansible aims to be a radically simple IT automation system. It handles configuration management, application deployment, cloud provisioning, ad-hoc task execution, network automation, and multi-node orchestration. Ansible facilitates complex changes like zero-downtime rolling updates with load balancers. This package is the core of Ansible, which provides the following commands:

• ansible

• ansible-config

• ansible-connection

• ansible-console

• ansible-doc

• ansible-galaxy

• ansible-inventory

• ansible-playbook

• ansible-pull

• ansible-test

• ansible-vault

The Router Advertisement Daemon (radvd) is run on systems acting as IPv6 routers. It sends Router Advertisement messages specified by RFC 2461 periodically and when requested by a node sending a Router Solicitation message. These messages are required for IPv6 stateless autoconfiguration.
