mtr combines the functionality of the traceroute and ping programs in a single network diagnostic tool. mtr can use several network protocols to detect intermediate routers (or hops) between the local host and a user-specified destination. It then continually measures the response time and packet loss at each hop, and displays the results in real time.

httpstat is a tool to visualize statistics from the curl HTTP client. It acts as a wrapper for curl and prints timing information for each step of the HTTP request (DNS lookup, TCP connection, TLS handshake and so on) in the terminal.

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

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.

pproxy is an asynchronuous proxy server implemented with Python 3 asyncio. Among the supported protocols are HTTP, SOCKS and SSH, and it can use both TCP and UDP as transport mechanisms.

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.

lcagent can send and receive data over multicast and to pipe data between programs on one computer and as many receivers as the multicast network can support simultaneously.

OpenRDAP is a command line client for the Registration Data Access Protocol. RDAP is modern a replacement for WHOIS, which provides domain name and IP address registration information in JSON format over HTTP.

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.

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.

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.

This package provides header-only C++ bindings for ØMQ. The header files contain direct mappings of the abstractions provided by the ØMQ C API.

This package provides a daemon that snitches on programs making outbound connections. OpenSnitch is an application-level firewall that gives you granular control over outbound network connections on your system. It monitors application activity and prompts you to allow or deny connections on a per-application basis whenever a new outbound connection is attempted.

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.

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.

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.

Command-line interface for LibreSpeed internet bandwidth testing. It functions as a command-line alternative to https://librespeed.org/. It features ping, jitter, download, and upload testing, as well as the ability to test using multiple servers in a single run.

Asio is a cross-platform C++ library for network and low-level I/O programming that provides developers with a consistent asynchronous model using a modern C++ approach.

Tool to send a magic packet to wake another host on the network. This must be enabled on the target host, usually in the BIOS.

Net::DNS::Resolver::Programmable is a programmable DNS resolver for offline emulation of DNS.

This package contains a small set of tools to capture and convert packets from wireless devices for use with hashcat or John the Ripper.

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.

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.

Dante is a SOCKS client and server implementation. It can be installed on a machine with access to an external TCP/IP network and will allow all other machines, without direct access to that network, to be relayed through the machine the Dante server is running on. The external network will never see any machines other than the one Dante is running on.
