cclive is a lightweight command line video extraction tool for YouTube and
other similar video websites. It is a rewrite of the clive software in C++
with lower system footprint and fewer dependencies. It works closely with
the quvi project to workaround the Flash technology that is being utilized
by different media hosts to deliver the content.
While being primarily a video download tool, it can also be used alongside
with some video players, e.g. mplayer, for viewing streamed videos instead
of the Adobe flash player.
This software converts a .TiVo file (produced by the TiVoToGo functionality
on recent TiVo software releases) to a normal MPEG file. This has the same
functionality as using TiVo's supplied DirectShow DLL on Windows with a tool
such as DirectShowDump, but is portable to different architectures and
operating systems, and runs on the command line using files or pipes. The
conversion still requires the valid MAK of the TiVo which recorded the file,
so it cannot be used to circumvent their protection, simply to provide the
same level of access as is already available on Windows.

The 'control' plugin brings the ability to VDR to control
the whole OSD over a telnet client.
To reach this, 'control' listens on a network socket
(default is port 2002). If a client wants to connect, VDR
checks if that client is allowed to connect to VDR (see in
the documentation of VDR about the svdrphosts.conf file for
more info). If the connection is etablished, 'control'
sends the curent OSD state to the client. Also all key
strokes at the client side are redirected to VDR.
Mcabber is a small Jabber console client.
Here are some of the features of mcabber:
o SSL support.
o History logging: If enabled (see the CONFIGURATION FILE section),
mcabber can save discussions to history log files.
o Commands completion: If possible, mcabber will try to complete your
command line if you hit the Tab key.
o External actions: Some events (like receiving a message) can trig-
ger an external action, for example a shell script (you need to
enable it in your configuration file).
Client programs that read, parse and process Argus data, and comprise
the client part of the Audit Record Generation and Utilization System.
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.
IOG is a network I/O byte grapher made to graph cumulative KB/MB/GB
totals for hours/days and months. It is intended to be simple, fast
(support thousands of hosts) and integrate well with MRTG. Data for
each host is updated hourly and HTML graphs are created. It uses a
data consolidation algorithm which allows for a small, non-growing
database file for each host. No external graphing libs or
executables are required.
IOG has been used in several production ISP environments,
including at the authors company, Dynamic Internet (dyni.net).

MK Livestatus - a Nagios event broker module that allows quick,
direct and comfortable access to your status data.
Livestatus is concepted and tuned to reduce disk, memory and cpu loads
caused by live-data processing on the Nagios system. Just as NDO,
Livestatus makes use of the Nagios Event Broker API and loads a binary
module into the Nagios process. But other than NDO, Livestatus does not
actively write out data e.g. to the disk. Instead, it opens a socket for
external applications to connect to and fetch the current status
information from Nagios.
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.

Net::IPAddr is a collection of helpful functions used to convert
IP addresses to/from 32-bit integers, applying subnet masks to
IP addresses, validating IP address strings, and splitting a FQDN
into its host and domain parts.
No rocket science here, but I have found these functions to very,
very handy. For example, have you ever tried to sort a list of IP
addresses only to find out that they don't sort the way you expected?
Here is the solution! If you convert the IP addresses to 32-bit integer
addresses, they will sort in correct order.
pmacct is a set of network tools to gather IP traffic
informations (bytes counter and number of packets); aggregation
of statistics is done using simple primitives (MAC addresses,
source host, destination host, ports and ip protocols) that can
be used alone or combined together to form complex aggregation
methods; counters are either global or historical (broken at
fixed timeslots). Data is either stored in a memory table,
pulled to stdout or in a SQL database (MySQL or PostgreSQL).
Gathering packets off the wire is done either using pcap
library (and promiscuous mode of the listening interface) or
reading Netflow packets coming from the network.
