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

bmon is a monitoring and debugging tool to capture networking-related statistics and prepare them visually in a human-friendly way. It features various output methods including an interactive curses user interface and a programmable text output for scripting.

NZBGet is a binary newsgrabber, which downloads files from Usenet based on information given in nzb files. NZBGet can be used in standalone and in server/client modes. In standalone mode, you pass NZBGet nzb files as command-line parameters and it downloads them and exits. NZBGet also contains a Web interface. Its server can be controlled through remote procedure calls (RPCs).

The THC IPv6 Toolkit provides command-line tools and a library for researching IPv6 implementations and deployments. It requires Linux 2.6 or newer and only works on Ethernet network interfaces.

Nebula is a peer-to-peer networking tool based on the Noise Protocol Framework. It is not a fully decentralized network, but instead uses central discovery nodes and a certificate authority to facilitate direct, encrypted peer-to-peer connections from behind most firewalls and NAT layers.

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.

fping is a ping-like program which uses ICMP echo requests to determine if a target host is responding.

fping differs from ping in that you can specify any number of targets on the command line, or specify a file containing the lists of targets to ping. Instead of sending to one target until it times out or replies, fping will send out a ping packet and move on to the next target in a round-robin fashion.

OpenDHT provides an easy to use distributed in-memory data store. Every node in the network can read and write values to the store. Values are distributed over the network, with redundancy. It includes the following features:

• Lightweight and scalable, designed for large networks and small devices;

• High resilience to network disruption;

• Public key cryptography layer providing optional data signature and encryption (using GnuTLS);

• IPv4 and IPv6 support;

• Clean and powerful C++14 map API;

• Bindings for C, Rust & Python 3;

• REST API with an optional HTTP client and server with push notification support.

The following tools are also included:

dhtnode

A command line tool to run a DHT node and perform operations supported by the library (get, put, etc.) with text values.

dhtchat

A very simple IM client working over the DHT.

aMule is an eMule-like client for the eD2k and Kademlia peer-to-peer file sharing networks. It includes a graphical user interface (GUI), a daemon allowing you to run a client with no graphical interface, and a Web GUI for remote access. The amulecmd command allows you to control aMule remotely.

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.

yggtray is an Yggdrasil tray and control panel. It allows the user to configure, run and control the Yggdrasil daemon.

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

LibCamera is a complex camera support library for GNU+Linux, Android, and ChromeOS.

NNG project is a rewrite of the scalability protocols library known as libnanomsg, and adds significant new capabilities, while retaining compatibility with the original. It is a lightweight, broker-less library, offering a simple API to solve common recurring messaging problems, such as publish/subscribe, RPC-style request/reply, or service discovery.

Open vSwitch is a multilayer virtual switch. It is designed to enable massive network automation through programmatic extension, while still supporting standard management interfaces and protocols (e.g. NetFlow, sFlow, IPFIX, RSPAN, CLI, LACP, 802.1ag).

libpisp is a helper library to generate run-time configuration for the Raspberry Pi ISP (PiSP), consisting of the Frontend and Backend hardware components.

This package provides a command-line client (gandi) to buy, manage, and delete Internet resources from Gandi.net such as domain names, virtual machines, and certificates.

This package provides a modern, but Linux-specific implementation of the traceroute command that can be used to follow the route taken by packets on an IP network on their way to a given host. It utilizes the IP protocol's time to live (TTL) field and attempts to elicit an ICMP TIME_EXCEEDED response from each gateway along the path to the host. Compared to other implementations, this traceroute command allows some traces for unprivileged users.

This package provides CAN utilities in the following areas:

• Basic tools to display, record, generate and replay CAN traffic

• CAN access via IP sockets

• CAN in-kernel gateway configuration

• CAN bus measurement and testing

• ISO-TP (ISO15765-2:2016 - this means messages with a body larger than eight bytes) tools

• Log file converters

• Serial Line Discipline configuration for slcan driver

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.

Hashcash is a proof-of-work algorithm, which has been used as a denial-of-service countermeasure technique in a number of systems.

A hashcash stamp constitutes a proof-of-work which takes a parametrizable amount of work to compute for the sender. The recipient can verify received hashcash stamps efficiently.

This package contains a command-line tool for computing and verifying hashcash stamps.

nm-tray is a network connection management tool (NetworkManager front-end) with an information icon residing in the system tray. Unlike nm-applet, which is part of GNOME, this application is desktop-unaware.

Iodine tunnels IPv4 data through a DNS server. This can be useful in different situations where internet access is firewalled, but DNS queries are allowed. The bandwidth is asymmetrical, with limited upstream and up to 1 Mbit/s downstream.

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.
