Hey there everyone,
I'm a big lover of good software (especially if it's free!). Here is a
list of software that I use, which I think is good. What else do you
chaps use ?
Ethereal
www.ethereal.com
Sniffer software. VERY good.
10/10
PuTTy
www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/
Telnet/SSH software. Good. Although I much prefer secureCRT, as it has
console support (but costs money).
7/10
VideoLAN
www.videolan.org
Media streaming. Unicast, multicast, ipv4, ipv6, audio or video.
9/10
ntop
www.ntop.org
Used to decode sniffer traces, like ethereal. I use it for pretty
graphs when I'm writing reports.
9/10
mrtg
people.ee.ethz.ch/~oetiker/webtools/mrtg/
Used for drawing graphs of any snmp instance. Throughput, cpu
utilisation, free mem, etc. Have a pretty web front end.
10/10
Trap Reciever
www.ncomtech.com/download.htm
I used this for test labs when I'v been fiddling with traps and rmon alarms.
8/10
tac-plus
Varies where you can get it from. Free version of tacacs+ for test labs
or smaller sites. Needs to be run on linux or unix.
10/10
Ping plotter (the free version)
www.pingplotter.com
I use this a lot, usually when a "slow network" is the problem....
8/10
PumpKIN
kin.klever.net/pumpkin/
This is really simple to use. Used it once and I never looked back.
8/10
Any other good free software that you folks use, windows or linux, then
let me know !!
