Free linux on windows network software for linux

Linux Netwosix is a powerful and optimized Linux distribution for servers and Network Security related jobs.
Linux Netwosix can be also used for special operations as penetration test with its big collection of softwares and sources security oriented. Its a ligh distribution created for the requirements of every SysAdmin and its very portable and highly configurable. Our philosophy is to give a big liberty of configuration to the SysAdmin.
Only in this way he/she can configure a powerful and stable server machine. Linux Netwosix have also a powerful ports system (Nepote) similar to the xBSD systems but more flexible and usable.
Whats New in 1.3 Release:
- New improved SETUP method
- All packages upgraded to latest and fixed versions.
- Very very light iso image fast to download and install (~240MB).
- It runs Linux Kernel 2.6.14.4
- System binaries linked with the GNU C Library, version 2.3.5.

Linux Commander is a powerful file manager for the X Window System.

It is partially modelled after Window Commander for Windows.

NAT Monitor is a tool to monitor hosts bandwidth usage in a Linux-NAT network.

A daemon collects data and clients display them (currently a GTK app with graph and a text version). It detects new hosts, saves up to 12 hours of data, and has a nice summary statistic.

DNA (Deep Network Analyser) is an open, flexible, and extensible deep network analyzer server and software architecture for passively gathering and analyzing network packets, network sessions, and applications protocols.
Deep Network Analyser project is designed to be used for Internet security, network management, intrustion detection, protocol and network analysis, information gathering, and network monitoring applications.
Main features:
- Extensible Java based network sensor (processing layers 2-7)
Configurable processing and output:
- Packet flows like Ethereal
- IP Flows like CISCO netflow
- Stateful Sessions (client/server flow pairs)
- Application protocol element output
- Configurable and extensible application protocol element parsing.
- Application protocol parsing toolkit APIs allows for new protocol parser to be easily developed and extended
- Targeting based full session capture facility, like a realtime targeted TCPDump.
- Flexible targeting from IPAddr, Port tuple to Application sensitive targeting.
- Configurable and extensible output forwarding (file, DB, Streams, JMS, RMI, etc.)
- Extensible realtime collection portable to many OS/Packet processing environments
Easily adaptable to packet processing environments:
- Specialized linux drivers mechanismon
- Network Appliances
- Network Switches / Routers
- Highly mutithreaded for increased performance over multi processor environments
Enhancements:
- Adoption of OpenAdaptor(tm) as the Output Adapter mechanism.
- Support for local-only administration.
- A new targeted packet capture parser, new run scripts, and a new install mechanism.
- Many bugfixes.

Deep Network Analyzer is an flexible, open and extensible deep network analyzer (software server) and architecture for gathering and analyzing network packets, network sessions and applications protocols, passively off enterprise class networks.
DNA is designed to be used for Internet Security, Intrusion detection, Network Management, Protocol and Network Analysis, Information Gathering, Network Monitoring applications.
