Free network appliance netcache software for linux

Network Tracker application is a user (MAC) tracker daemon, for big LANs (campus).
The Network Trackerd builds a table which records which user is connected on which port of a switch by scanning the devices with SNMP in your inventory which is in a MySQL database. Trackerd keeps that table up-to-date by scanning the network regularly.
Thus, you will have the opportunity to know exactly where a user (MAC, IP, UID) is connected on your network !
Your devices are also checked with ping and SNMP, and you are informed with e-mail when any of the devices is not alive.
More over, you may produce various reports about your network infrastructure on the web (cgi) or by using other tools.
Network tracker eases especially to find and shutdown the switch port of the users, when their PCs on the network start to spread viruses or warms using lots of bandwith; so you are able to stop that kind harmfull traffic on the network.
Main features:
- Collects all the MAC addresses and port numbers from CAM tables of the switches.
- Finds IP addresses of the MACs from ARP tables of the routers.
- Finds LDAP uid of the user.
- Check devices on the network with both ping and SNMP for better reliability.
- The daemon sends 2 self check e-mail per day.
- Developped with C.
Enhancements:
- trackerd is now multi-threaded and works very quickly because a new thread is created for each network device.
- MAC tracking code has been reimplemented for multi-threaded use.
- Wireless access point support has been added.
- gnuplot graphics are prepared, showing the active number of users like MRTG graphs.
- tracker now accepts MAC addresses in free format.

rPath Appliance Agent project is an extensible application framework for the administration of appliance devices through a web-based user interface.
The framework is comprised of individual component plugins which offer specialized functionality, such as a message log interface, user account preferences, system updates, and entitlement management capabilities.
You can also develop and add plugins to the rAA framework, extending capabilities and functionality for your specific requirements.
To set up your environment for developing rAA, untar the devel.tar.bz2 tarball in the docs directory into your development directory. It should contain the following files:
- README.devel:
this file.
- dev.cfg:
configuration for the development environment.
- raa:
symbolic link to the rAA installation, usually
/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/raa.
- raa-service:
used by the startup script for the rAA service daemon.
- raa_service_dev.conf:
configuration file for the rAA service daemon. This contains a pluginDirs
configuration option. Change or append to its value to add additional
directories in which you are developing plugins.
- raa-web:
startup script for the rAA web layer.
- start-raa-service.sh:
startup script for the rAA service daemon.
Enhancements:
- Enhancements to the backup plugin, and a new plugin has been added to allow users to upload new SSL certificates for rAAs Web servers HTTPS connections.

Network Probe and protocol analyzer is the ultimate tool for traffic-level network monitoring, troubleshooting, analysis,
If your network is crawling to a standstill, and you suspect there might be a problem with the network traffic, Network Probe will quickly help you identify what is causing the problem, show you who is generating any troublesome traffic, and where the traffic is being transmitted.
Network Probe will collect traffic statistics for all protocols, hosts, and conversations on your network, and show you all the top talkers and listeners on your network. Hosts generating large amounts of traffic such as music and movie streaming, playing online games, or listening to streaming media are easily identified.
Main features:
- Watch in real time which protocols are used on your network
- Watch in real time which hosts are active on your network and the Internet
- Watch in real time which conversations are taking place on your network and to and from the Internet
- Watch in real time detailed protocol statistics per host
- Watch in real time detailed protocol statistics per conversation
- Watch in real time network card details for your network
- Watch traffic amount of selected entries relative to the total and filtered traffic
- Watch traffic amount over time for any host, conversation, and protocol
- Watch in real time network throughput for the entire network segment
- Inspect detailed logged statistical data from days and weeks earlier
- Filter out and search for selected protocols, hosts, conversations, and network cards
- Sort network traffic by amount of data transmitted or received
- Export network traffic statistics data
- Configure users with restricted access to statistical data
- Password protected login

Network Traffic Analyser provides a script-driven network traffic monitor.

Network Traffic Analyser (formerly known as sniffer) is designed to be an extremely powerful, configurable, and versatile tool for monitoring network traffic.

It can be used as a plain sniffer, as a tool for accounting, dynamic firewall updates, and many more things.

It features scripting support and an event-driven architecture.

The idea behind this project is to create a powerful tool for playing around with network traffic. The basic concepts are simplicity and flexibility. Instead of building tool that does something specific (and does a good job at it), were trying to build a tool that will be able to do whatever you want it to do (and still be good at it :).

To put it very simply, you write a script that will be invoked for every packet that passes through your network. You write your scripts in a Tcl, fully blown, interpreted programming language. That fact guaranties that you wont be constrained in your creativity.

gnetload network load meter project is a network and ISDN load meter that is similar to xisdnload, but works in a distributed environment.
It includes an agent (devstata) that runs on machines with interfaces to be monitored and periodically sends status information over the network. A display program (gnetload) collects and displays the data.
Both can be run on the same machine, or be used to report on the state of a dedicated router on another machine. Using multicast or broadcast addresses, data can be fed to more than one instance of gnetload. A menu for taking network interfaces up and down is also provided.
Usage: ./gnetload [-I] [-t tickscale] [-g geometry] [-d] [ip]:port
Enhancements:
- The config script was updated to build with GTK2 and GCONF2 where available.
- There are no other code changes.

network jack is an Internet troubleshooting and information gathering tool. It provides a Web interface to several common command-line tools, including ping, traceroute, dig, and whois, as well as a subnet mask and CIDR block calculator.
Current Modules which you can find in the application:
Pinger
- Ping a host on the internet (currently only IPv4)
Tracer
- Traceroute to a host on the internet from the web server (currently only IPv4)
Digger
- Do a DNS Dig of a hostname or IP address (for reverse lookups)
Drooler
- block list lookup (aka RBL query, blackhole lookup)
Whoser
- lookup for domain names and IP addresses / blocks
Netter
- Mask / CIDR calculator
Linker
- Front" page for the tools, provides spot for links
Main features:
- It is intended to be easy to add new modules
- Seperates html code into its own file so can be customized without modifying the program files

Java Network Stack provides a Java library for research oriented network programming.

Java Network Stack is a library used by the DIMES project to create new internet measurements. It provides a clean API for packet manipulation, send, receive, filter, and analysis. It is a unification of raw socket capabilities, MAC level networkingm, and IPv6 capabilities.
