Argus is a generic IP network transaction auditing tool that has been used
by thousands of sites to perform a number of powerful network management
tasks that are currently not possible using commercial network management
tools.
Argus runs as an application level daemon, promiscuously reading network
datagrams from a specified interface, and generates network traffic audit
records for the network activity that it encounters. It is the way that
Argus categorizes and reports on network activity that makes this tool
unique and powerful.
NagTail is like tail(1), but for the nagios status.dat file.
This is a plugin package for Nagios. Quoting from the
main Nagios package:
Nagios is a host and service monitor designed to inform you of network
problems before your clients, end-users or managers do. It has been
designed to run under the Linux operating system, but works fine under
most *NIX variants as well. The monitoring daemon runs intermittent
checks on hosts and services you specify using external "plugins"
which return status information to Nagios. When problems are
encountered, the daemon can send notifications out to administrative
contacts in a variety of different ways (email, instant message, SMS,
etc.). Current status information, historical logs, and reports can
all be accessed via a web browser.
Aircrack-ng is an 802.11 WEP and WPA-PSK keys cracking program that can
recover keys once enough data packets have been captured. It implements the
standard FMS attack along with some optimizations like KoreK attacks, as
well as the all-new PTW attack, thus making the attack much faster compared
to other WEP cracking tools. In fact, Aircrack-ng is a set of tools for
auditing wireless networks.
To ease the task of network administration,
decrease the likelihood of erronous command execution and
to maintain all network services from a central point,
EnderUNIX SDT anounces the availability of its 9th open-source tool,
netUstad.
It has been coded in C language and includes its own HTTP server.
The newly anounced version provides a web interface for
system administrators to add/delete/update FreeBSD IPFW and Linux IpTables
rulesets, manage routing table and network interfaces.
You can manage your Firewall via a TCP/IP connected remote PC, easily.

Icinga 2 is a network monitoring system and parallel development branch to
Icinga 1.
Written from scratch, it builds on the success of Icinga 1 and deals with
shortcomings inherited from Nagios as a fork.
Icinga 2 is:
- Easy to install with soft link activation of functions and packages
- Multithreaded and very fast: Capable of thousands of checks per second
- Intuitive to configure, using new object-based, template-driven format
- Easy to extend with native support for Livestatus and Graphite
- Cluster-enabled for distributed monitoring out of the box
Weathermap is a network visualisation tool, to take data you already
have and show you an overview of your network in map form.
PNP is an addon to nagios which analyzes performance data provided
by plugins and stores them automatically into RRD-databases (Round
Robin Databases, see RRD Tool).
During development of PNP we set value on easy installation and
little maintenance while running it. An administrator should do
other things than configure graphing tools.

rcpd is a RCP server intended specifically for router
or network device clients. It is used to transfer
configurations, boot images, and kernels images
(eg: IOS) to the devices.
These files are often tranfered with TFTP, but TFTP
has reliability and speed issues and file size
limitations due to it's protocol specification and
underlying transport; while RCP is not affected.
