Why another whois client? Because the RIPE client is a mess of hacks and #ifdefs and more complex programs lack features or are bloated.

sslh accepts HTTPS, SSH, OpenVPN, tinc and XMPP connections on the same port. This makes it possible to connect to any of these servers on port 443 while still serving HTTPS on that port.

sqtop is a console applicaton to display information about currently active client connections for a Squid proxy in a convenient way.

WMND (WindowMaker Network Devices) is a highly customizable network monitoring dockapp for Window Maker (and compatibles) for many operative systems and devices.

This little program polls network statistics and does a few things with the data it gets. It has small blinking lights for the rx and tx of IP packets, a digital speedometer of your polled stat's current speed and a bar graph like xload et. al which has a tx speed graph from bottom-up and rx speed graph from the top-down. The speedometer keeps track of the current speed per second and shows it in a color corresponding to which of rx or tx that has the highest speed at the moment. Also, the graph is drawn in a way that the highest speed is drawn on top of the other while the other is in the background.

tcpslice is a tool for extracting portions of packet trace files generated using tcpdump's -w flag. The basic operation of tcpslice is to copy to stdout all packets from its input file(s) whose timestamps fall within a given range.

The tcpsplit utility breaks a single libpcap packet trace into some number of sub-traces, breaking the trace along TCP connection boundaries so that a TCP connection doesn't end up split across two sub-traces. This is useful for making large trace files tractable for in-depth analysis and for subsetting a trace for developing analysis on only part of a trace.

tcptraceroute is a traceroute implementation using TCP packets. The more traditional traceroute(8) sends out either UDP or ICMP ECHO packets with a TTL of one, and increments the TTL until the destination has been reached. By printing the gateways that generate ICMP time exceeded messages along the way, it is able to determine the path packets are taking to reach the destination. The problem is that with the widespread use of firewalls on the modern Internet, many of the packets that traceroute(8) sends out end up being filtered, making it impossible to completely trace the path to the destination. However, in many cases, these firewalls will permit inbound TCP packets to specific ports that hosts sitting behind the firewall are listening for connections on. By sending out TCP SYN packets instead of UDP or ICMP ECHO packets, tcptraceroute is able to bypass the most common firewall filters.

tcpxd is a general purpose TCP/IP relay program designed to be simple to get going, requiring only three parameters; the port to listen on, the host to forward to, and the port on that host to connect to.
