It is designed to be a reliable "back-end" tool that nc: can be used directly or easily driven by other programs and scripts. nc: At the same time, it is a feature-rich network debugging and nc: exploration tool, since it can create almost any kind of connection nc: you would need and has several interesting built-in capabilities. nc: Netcat was written by *Hobbit* , and is a product nc: of Avian Research. ncftp: ncftp (ftp client) ncftp: ncftp: NcFTP is a user interface to the Internet standard File Transfer ncftp: Protocol. This program allows a user to transfer files to and from a ncftp: remote network site, and offers additional features that are not found ncftp: in the standard interface for ftp. ncftp: ncftp: ncftp: ncftp: ncftp: netatalk: netatalk (Appletalk file and print server) netatalk: netatalk: Netatalk is an Appletalk file and print server for Linux. Using netatalk: Netatalk, Macintosh computers on your local network can mount Linux netatalk: volumes as if they were standard Appletalk network drives, and can netatalk: print to the Linux box's printer as if it were a network printer netatalk: supporting PostScript. netatalk: netatalk: Netatalk was originally written by the Research Systems Unix Group at netatalk: The University of Michigan, and is maintained by the Netatalk Team. netatalk: netdate: netdate (simple network time utility) netdate: netdate: Netdate takes a list of names of Internet hosts as arguments, selects netdate: the one which supplies the best time, and sets the system time netdate: accordingly. The invoker must be the super-user for the time to be netdate: set. Protocol names (either udp or tcp) may be interspersed with the netdate: host names, and determine the protocol which will be used to connect netdate: to the hosts whose names follow, up to the next protocol name or the netdate: end of the arguments. The default protocol is udp. netdate: netdate: These days, "ntpdate" is probably a better choice. netkit-bootparamd: netkit-bootparamd (boot parameter server) netkit-bootparamd: netkit-bootparamd: This package provides rpc.bootparamd and callbootd, programs used to netkit-bootparamd: provide information to diskless clients so they can boot. It is netkit-bootparamd: used primarily to allow a Linux server to boot a Sun machine using netkit-bootparamd: SunOS bootparam. netkit-bootparamd: netkit-bootparamd: netkit-bootparamd was written by Klas Heggemann. netkit-bootparamd: netkit-bootparamd: netkit-bootparamd: netkit-ftp: netkit-ftp (the old BSD FTP client) netkit-ftp: netkit-ftp: Ftp is the user interface to the Internet standard File Transfer netkit-ftp: Protocol. The program allows a user to transfer files to and from a netkit-ftp: remote network site. netkit-ftp: netkit-ftp: This is a program of mostly historical value. For a more powerful netkit-ftp: command-line FTP client, look at something like lftp. netkit-ftp: netkit-ftp: netkit-ftp: netkit-ntalk: netkit-ntalk (talk client and talkd daemon) netkit-ntalk: netkit-ntalk: talk and talkd are the BSD communication client server system for netkit-ntalk: the command line. "talk" is the client that asks another user to netkit-ntalk: respond; and "in.talkd" is the server that notifies a user that netkit-ntalk: someone else wants to initiate a conversation. netkit-ntalk: netkit-ntalk: The talk command appeared in 4.2BSD. netkit-ntalk: netkit-ntalk: netkit-ntalk: netkit-routed: netkit-routed (dynamic network routing daemon) netkit-routed: netkit-routed: Routed is invoked at boot time to manage the network routing tables. netkit-routed: The routing daemon uses a variant of the Xerox NS Routing Information netkit-routed: Protocol in maintaining up to date kernel routing table entries. netkit-routed: It used a generalized protocol capable of use with multiple address netkit-routed: types, but is currently used only for Internet routing within a netkit-routed: cluster of networks. netkit-routed: netkit-routed: Fair warning: routed is no longer maintained and may be insecure. netkit-routed: netkit-rsh: netket-rsh (the BSD rsh/rcp/rlogin clients and daemon) netkit-rsh: netkit-rsh: The old BSD rsh suite. Note that none of these programs provide netkit-rsh: encryption or strong authentication of network connections. As such, netkit-rsh: their use is discouraged.

For each host netkit-rusers: responding to the rusers query, the hostname with the names of the netkit-rusers: users currently logged on is printed on each line. The rusers netkit-rusers: command will wait for one minute to catch late responders. netkit-rusers: netkit-rusers: Portmap and rpc.rusersd must be running on remote machines. Should netkit-rusers: probably be considered insecure (or at least ill-advised) on public netkit-rusers: networks. netkit-rwall: netkit-rwall (send a message to all users) netkit-rwall: netkit-rwall: The rwall command sends a message to the users logged into the netkit-rwall: specified host. The message to be sent can be typed in and netkit-rwall: terminated with EOF or it can be in a file. netkit-rwall: netkit-rwall: Run the rpc.rwalld daemon with caution. It may be insecure. netkit-rwall: netkit-rwall: The rwall command appeared in SunOS. netkit-rwall: netkit-rwall: netkit-rwho: netkit-rwho (who is logged in on local machines) netkit-rwho: netkit-rwho: The rwho command produces output similar to who, but for all machines netkit-rwho: on the local network. If no report has been received from a machine netkit-rwho: for 11 minutes then rwho assumes the machine is down, and does not netkit-rwho: report users last known to be logged into that machine. If a users netkit-rwho: hasn't typed to the system for a minute or more, then rwho reports netkit-rwho: this idle time. If a user hasn't typed to the system for an hour or netkit-rwho: more, then the user will be omitted from the output of rwho unless netkit-rwho: the -a flag is given. netkit-rwho: netkit-timed: netkit-timed (time server daemon) netkit-timed: netkit-timed: This is an early BSD time server daemon. While ntpd is better for netkit-timed: most purposes, this might be useful for secure networks or embedded netkit-timed: systems in need of something more lightweight. netkit-timed: netkit-timed: The timed daemon appeared in 4.3BSD. netkit-timed: netkit-timed: netkit-timed: netkit-timed: netpipes: netpipes netpipes: netpipes: Robert Forsman's netpipes package makes TCP/IP streams usable in shell netpipes: scripts. It can also simplify client/server code by allowing the netpipes: programmer to skip all the tedious programming bits related to sockets netpipes: and concentrate on writing a filter/service. Here's an example of netpipes: what you can do with 'faucet' and 'hose', two netpipes commands: netpipes: netpipes: server$ faucet 3000 -out tar cf - . netpipes: client$ hose server 3000 -in tar xvf - netpipes: net-snmp: net-snmp (Simple Network Management Protocol tools) net-snmp: net-snmp: Various tools relating to the Simple Network Management Protocol: net-snmp: net-snmp: An extensible agent net-snmp: An SNMP library net-snmp: Tools to request or set information from SNMP agents net-snmp: Tools to generate and handle SNMP traps net-snmp: A version of the UNIX 'netstat' command using SNMP net-snmp: A graphical Perl/Tk/SNMP based mib browser net-snmp: nettle: Nettle (small cryptographic library) nettle: nettle: Nettle is a cryptographic library that is designed to fit easily in nettle: more or less any context: In crypto toolkits for object-oriented nettle: languages (C++, Python, Pike, ...), in applications like LSH or nettle: GNUPG, or even in kernel space. nettle: nettle: Homepage: http://www.lysator.liu.se/~nisse/nettle/ nettle: nettle: nettle: net-tools: net-tools (base Linux networking utilities) net-tools: net-tools: This is the core collection of tools such as "ifconfig" and "route" net-tools: used to configure networking on Linux.

Tcpdump uses libpcap, a system tcpdump: independent interface for user-level packet capture. tcpdump: tcpdump: Project homepage: http://www.tcpdump.org tcpdump: tcpdump: tcpdump: tcp_wrappers: tcp_wrappers (TCP/IP daemon wrapper library and utilities) tcp_wrappers: tcp_wrappers: With this package you can monitor and filter incoming requests for tcp_wrappers: network services for access control, and detection things like host tcp_wrappers: name spoofing and host address spoofing. Nearly all the network tcp_wrappers: daemons on Slackware are "wrapped" using this library, and most tcp_wrappers: daemons in /etc/inetd.conf use tcp_wrappers' tcpd wrapper daemon. tcp_wrappers: If you plan to do much networking, you will need tcp_wrappers. tcp_wrappers: tcp_wrappers: tcp_wrappers was written by Wietse Venema. tcp_wrappers: telnet: telnet (the telnet client and daemon) telnet: telnet: telnet supports the original DARPA telnet interactive communication telnet: protocol. As connecting to a telnetd server transmits your password telnet: over the network in cleartext, telnet's use as a login protocol has telnet: been mostly superceded by the use of ssh and sshd. However, the telnet: telnet client is still a very handy tool, and telnetd may still have telnet: some uses on networks that are known to be secure. telnet: telnet: telnet and telnetd were ported from BSD. telnet: tftp-hpa: tftp-hpa (Trivial File Transfer Protocol) tftp-hpa: tftp-hpa: The Trivial File Transfer Protocol (TFTP) is normally used only for tftp-hpa: booting diskless workstations (or the Slackware installer). The tftp tftp-hpa: package provides the user interface for TFTP, which allows users to tftp-hpa: transfer files to and from a remote machine. This program and TFTP tftp-hpa: provide very little security, and should not be enabled unless it is tftp-hpa: expressly needed. tftp-hpa: tftp-hpa: tftp-hpa is maintained by H. Peter Anvin. tftp-hpa: tin: tin (the Tin newsreader) tin: tin: Tin is a full-screen, easy-to-use Netnews reader. It can read news tin: locally (i.e. /var/spool/news) or remotely (rtin or tin -r option) tin: via a NNTP (Network News Transport Protocol) server. It will tin: automatically utilize NOV (news overview) style index files if tin: available locally or via the nntp xover command. tin: tin: Tin was written by Iain Lea and is currently tin: maintained by Urs Janssen . tin: traceroute: traceroute (IP packet route tracing utility) traceroute: traceroute: The traceroute utility displays the route used by IP packets on their traceroute: way to a specified network host. Traceroute will display the IP traceroute: number and host name (if possible) of all the machines along the route traceroute: taken by the packets. If you're having network connectivity problems, traceroute: traceroute can show you where the trouble is located. traceroute: traceroute: traceroute: traceroute: trn: trn (a threaded newsreader) trn: trn: A threaded news reader for reading a remote NNTP server. Compiled to trn: use Overviews or mthreads, and to read news through your NNTP server. trn: Be sure to set NNTPSERVER in your /etc/profile or /etc/csh.login. trn: trn: trn: trn: trn: trn: ulogd: ulogd (Userspace Logging Daemon) ulogd: ulogd: ulogd is a userspace logging daemon for netfilter/iptables related ulogd: logging. This includes per-packet logging of security violations, ulogd: per-packet logging for accounting, per-flow logging and flexible ulogd: user-defined accounting. ulogd: ulogd: ulogd: ulogd: ulogd: uucp: uucp (Taylor UUCP) uucp: uucp: Ian Taylor's Unix to Unix copy: mail and news over modem lines. uucp: This is the standard UUCP package of the Free Software Foundation. uucp: uucp: Configured to use HoneyDanBer and/or Taylor configuration files. uucp: uucp: uucp: uucp: uucp: vlan: vlan (VLAN (802.1q) configuration program) vlan: vlan: The vlan package contains the vconfig program, which allows you to vlan: create and remove VLAN devices on a VLAN enabled kernel. VLAN vlan: devices are virtual Ethernet devices which represent virtual LANs on vlan: the physical LAN. vlan: vlan: vlan is primarily the work of Alex Zeffertt, Cambridge Broadband Ltd, vlan: extensively rewritten by Ben Greear. vlan: vlan: vsftpd: vsftpd (Very Secure FTP Daemon) vsftpd: vsftpd: vsftpd is an FTP server, or daemon. The 'vs' stands for Very Secure. vsftpd: Obviously this is not a guarantee, but a reflection that the entire vsftpd: codebase was written with security in mind, and carefully designed to vsftpd: be resilient to attack (as well as extremely fast and scalable). vsftpd: vsftpd: The vsftpd homepage is https://security.appspot.com/vsftpd.html vsftpd: vsftpd: The Very Secure FTP Daemon was written by Chris Evans. vsftpd: wget: wget (a non-interactive network retriever) wget: wget: GNU Wget is a free network utility to retrieve files from the wget: World Wide Web using HTTP and FTP, the two most widely used Internet wget: protocols. It works non-interactively, thus enabling work in the wget: background after having logged off. wget: wget: The author of Wget is Hrvoje Niksic . wget: wget: wget: whois: whois (whois directory client) whois: whois: This is an enhanced whois (RFC 954) client derived from the BSD and whois: RIPE whois programs. It can automatically select the appropriate whois: whois server for most queries. whois: whois: This version of whois was written by Marco d'Itri whois: For more information, see: http://www.linux.it/~md/software/ whois: whois: whois: wireless-tools: wireless-tools (utilities for wireless networking) wireless-tools: wireless-tools: This package contains tools and a library used for configuring wireless-tools: wireless networking interfaces: wireless-tools: iwconfig (the main wireless tool), iwlist (display more detailed wireless-tools: information than iwconfig), iwspy (get stats per MAC address and wireless-tools: more), iwpriv (set driver private ioctls), iwgetid (show the wireless-tools: ESSID or NWID of a device), iwevent (display wireless events), wireless-tools: ifrename (rename a network interface). wireless-tools: wireless-tools: The wireless-tools were written by Jean Tourrilhes. wpa_supplicant: wpa_supplicant (WPA/WPA2/IEEE 802.1X Supplicant) wpa_supplicant: wpa_supplicant: wpa_supplicant is a WPA Supplicant for Linux with support for WPA and wpa_supplicant: WPA2 (IEEE 802.11i / RSN). Supplicant is the IEEE 802.1X/WPA wpa_supplicant: component that is used in the client stations. It implements key wpa_supplicant: negotiation with a WPA Authenticator and it controls the roaming and wpa_supplicant: IEEE 802.11 authentication/association of the wlan driver. wpa_supplicant: wpa_supplicant: More info: http://hostap.epitest.fi/wpa_supplicant/ wpa_supplicant: wpa_supplicant: yptools: yptools (NIS servers and clients) yptools: yptools: NIS stands for Network Information Service. NIS is usually used to yptools: provide /etc/passwd and /etc/group information throughout the network. yptools: Most Sun-based networks run NIS, and Linux machines can take full yptools: advantage of existing NIS service or provide NIS service themselves. yptools: yptools: yptools: yptools: yptools: ytalk: ytalk (multi-user chat program) ytalk: ytalk: YTalk is a multi-user chat program. It works almost exactly like the ytalk: UNIX talk program and even communicates with the same talk daemon, but ytalk: YTalk allows for multiple connections. ytalk: ytalk: ytalk: ytalk: ytalk: ytalk: zd1211-firmware: zd1211-firmware (Firmware for zd1211 USB wireless) zd1211-firmware: zd1211-firmware: This distribution contains the firmware files for the ZD1211 chip, zd1211-firmware: which is used in WLAN USB sticks. The files are generated from C zd1211-firmware: header files distributed in the original ZyDAS ZD1211 driver. The zd1211-firmware: GPL-licensed header files used to produce the firmware blobs are also zd1211-firmware: present in this distribution. zd1211-firmware: zd1211-firmware: The full source of the original ZYDAS driver is available from zd1211-firmware: http://zd1211.wiki.sourceforge.net/VendorDriver zd1211-firmware:
