(Page 4 of 7) < Prev 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 Next > Platform: True64 UNIX LibNet Added 2001-10-22 Libnet is an API to help with the construction and handling of network packets. It provides a portable framework for low-level network packet writing and handling (use libnet in conjunction with libpcap and you can write some really cool stuff). Libnet includes packet creation at the IP layer and at the link layer as well as a host of supplementary and complementary functionality. Still in it's infancy however, the library is evolving quite a bit. It is mainly useful for quick and simple packet assembly and related applications (Traceroute and ping were easily rewritten using libnet). See the manpage and sample test code for more detailed information. Libpcap Added 2001-10-22 This is a handy little library which provides a packet filtering mechanism based on the BSD packet filter (BPF). Most notably, tcpdump needs this to work, and there is also a perl module (still in beta) which can use this as well. In plain english, if you want to write your own network traffic analyzer, this is the place to start. CFS Added 2001-10-22 The cryptographic file system (also known as CFS) is a way of storing encrypted files and entire directories. It runs as a local nfs server. Traceroute Added 2001-10-22 Traceroute is a system administrators utility to trace the route ip packets from the current system take in getting to some destination system. See the comments at the front of the program for a description of its use. This program a) can only be run by root (it uses raw ip sockets). b) REQUIRES A KERNEL MOD to the raw ip output code to run. dig Added 2001-10-22 Dig (domain information groper) is a flexible command line tool which can be used to gather information from the Domain Name System servers. Dig has two modes: simple interactive mode which makes a single query, and batch which executes a query for each in a list of several query lines. All query options are accessible from the command line. ViperDB Added 2001-10-22 ViperDB was created as a smaller & faster option to Tripwire. Tripwire while being a great product leaves something to be desired in the speed department and also, by default tripwire generates a report everytime it runs and directs that report to an email address. This hinders most people from running Tripwire every few minutes to do a system check. ViperDB however is the answer to this problem. ViperDB uses a fast plaintext db and is written in perl. Epan Added 2001-10-22 EPAN is a protocol analyzer for ethernet networks. The program allows you to display the received frames either in an overview mode or in a frame detail mode. It is also possible to create a few statistics (frame size distribution, utilization or protocol statistics). For more detailed statistics EPAN offers to use an external program like gnuplot to evaluate the collected data. Data acquisition is done by a separate program called edump (similar to an RMON probe). This program can capture data from the following devices: Xip Added 2001-10-22 Xip is a graphical protocol analyzer. TCFS Added 2001-10-22 TCFS is a Transparent Cryptographic File System that is a suitable solution to the problem of privacy for distributed file system. By a deeper integration between the encryption service and the file system, it results in a complete trasparency of use to the user applications. Files are stored in encrypted form and are decrypted before they are read. The encryption/decryption process takes place on the client machine and thus the encryption/decryption key never travels on the network.
