This module offers a simple interface to query NTP servers from Python. It also provides utility functions to translate NTP fields values to text (mode, leap indicator...). Since it's pure Python, and only depends on core modules, it should work on any platform with a Python implementation.

pynids is a python wrapper for libnids, a Network Intrusion Detection System library offering sniffing, IP defragmentation, TCP stream reassembly and TCP port scan detection. Let your own python routines examine (or kill) network conversations. pynids is free software, licensed under the GPL.

Physical hosts can be joined to the virtual network by means of the tap(4) driver.

throttled is a bandwidth shaping application for FreeBSD which allows you to cap your upstream bandwidth, prioritize ACK packets, and keep your download speeds high even when your server is sending out at full speed. It uses almost no cpu, and has a tiny footprint. Enjoy. For more information you can read the comments in throttled-startup

Whois is an intelligent pure Ruby WHOIS client and parser. It provides a flexible and programmable API to query WHOIS servers and look up IP/domain WHOIS information. It also offers command-line interface to run WHOIS queries from the console. It is a OS-independent library and does not require external C libraries or Gems.

Samba4 is an attempt to implement an Active Directory compatible Domain Controller. In short, you can join a WinNT, Win2000, WinXP or Win2003 member server to a Samba4 domain, and it will behave much as it does in AD, including Kerberos domain logins where applicable.
