Aircrack-ng is a complete suite of tools to assess WiFi network security. It focuses on different areas of WiFi security: monitoring, attacking, testing, and cracking. All tools are command-line driven, which allows for heavy scripting.

httping measures how long it takes to connect to a web server, send an HTTP(S) request, and receive the reply headers. It is somewhat similar to ping, but can be used even in cases where ICMP traffic is blocked by firewalls or when you want to monitor the response time of the actual web application stack itself.

Librecast is a C library which supports IPv6 multicast networking.

libndp contains a library which provides a wrapper for IPv6 Neighbor Discovery Protocol. It also provides a tool named ndptool for sending and receiving NDP messages.

The dhtnet is a C++ library providing abstractions for interacting with an OpenDHT distributed network.

Tunctl is used to set up and maintain persistent TUN/TAP network interfaces, enabling user applications to simulate network traffic. Such interfaces are useful for VPN software, virtualization, emulation, simulation, and a number of other applications.

Net::DNS is the Perl Interface to the Domain Name System.

The Link Layer Discovery Protocol (LLDP) is an industry standard protocol designed to supplant proprietary Link-Layer protocols such as EDP or CDP. The goal of LLDP is to provide an inter-vendor compatible mechanism to deliver Link-Layer notifications to adjacent network devices. lldpd is an implementation of LLDP. It also supports some proprietary protocols.

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.

iwd is a wireless daemon for Linux that aims to replace WPA Supplicant. It optimizes resource utilization by not depending on any external libraries and instead utilizing features provided by the Linux kernel to the maximum extent possible.

This package provides a multi-threaded TFTP server that implements all options, including all extensions, as specified in RFC 1350, RFC 2090, RFC 2347, RFC 2348, RFC 2349 and RFC7440. Atftpd also supports a multicast protocol known as mtftp, which was defined in the PXE specification.

The server is socket activated by default but supports being started from inetd as well as in daemon mode.

Miredo is an implementation (client, relay, server) of the Teredo specification, which provides IPv6 Internet connectivity to IPv6 enabled hosts residing in IPv4-only networks, even when they are behind a NAT device.

Libnet provides a fairly portable framework for network packet construction and injection. It features portable packet creation interfaces at the IP layer and link layer, as well as a host of supplementary functionality. Using libnet, quick and simple packet assembly applications can be whipped up with little effort.

iPerf is a tool to measure achievable bandwidth on IP networks. It supports tuning of various parameters related to timing, buffers and protocols (TCP, UDP, SCTP with IPv4 and IPv6). For each test it reports the bandwidth, loss, and other parameters.

PuTTY is a graphical text terminal client. It supports SSH, telnet, and raw socket connections with good terminal emulation. It can authenticate with public keys and Kerberos single-sign-on. It also includes command-line SFTP and older SCP implementations.

parprouted is a daemon for transparent IP (Layer 3) proxy ARP bridging. Unlike standard bridging, proxy ARP bridging can bridge Ethernet networks behind wireless nodes. Normal layer 2 bridging does not work between wireless nodes because wireless does not know about MAC addresses used in the wired Ethernet networks. This daemon can also be useful for making transparent firewalls.

Reaver performs a brute force attack against an access point's Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS) PIN. Once the PIN is found, the WPA passphrase can be recovered and the AP's wireless settings can be reconfigured.

pysctp implements the SCTP socket API. You need a SCTP-aware kernel (most are).

Slurm is a network load monitor. It shows real-time traffic statistics from any network device in any of three ASCII graph formats.

Yggdrasil is an early-stage implementation of a fully end-to-end encrypted IPv6 network. It is lightweight, self-arranging, supported on multiple platforms and allows pretty much any IPv6-capable application to communicate securely with other Yggdrasil nodes. Yggdrasil does not require you to have IPv6 Internet connectivity - it also works over IPv4.

Socket6 binds the IPv6 related part of the C socket header definitions and structure manipulators for Perl.

This program helps automate the creation and maintenance of BGP routing filters used for peering through Internet exchanges.

It generates prefix lists, (extended) access lists, policy-statement terms, and AS paths from data in the IRR, including the RADB operated by the Merit Network at the University of Michigan.

The filters can be aggregated and exported in the most common formats.

dnstracer determines where a given Domain Name Server (DNS) gets its information from, and follows the chain of DNS servers back to the servers which know the data.

uBridge is a simple program to create user-land bridges between various technologies. Currently, bridging between UDP tunnels, Ethernet and TAP interfaces is supported. Packet capture is also supported.
