Free network configurator 0.1.8 software for linux

network-config is a simple network configuration tool.

Network-config is a simple and easy to use program that helps configuring the network interfaces for linux-based operating systems. It allows to have multiple configurations for the same computer and to easy configure NAT for internet sharing.

It can also be used to scan for wireless networks. It is written in perl and uses gtk2+, but also works as a command line program.

/etc/net represents a new approach to Linux network configuration tasks. Inspired by the limitations of traditional configuration subsystems, /etc/net provides builtin support for configuration profiles, interface name management, removable device support, full iproute2 command set support, interface dependency resolution, and a QoS configuration framework.
/etc/net provides support for the following interface types: Ethernet, WiFi (WEP), IPv6/IPv6 tunnels, PSK IPSec tunnels, VLAN, PLIP, Ethernet bonding and bridging, traffic equalizer, Pent@NET, usbnet, and PPP. Due to its modular design, support for new interface types can be added without overall design changes.
Main features:
/etc/net provides builtin support for:
- configuration profiles
- interface name management
- removable devices
- full iproute2 command set
- interface dependencies resolution
- QoS configuration framework
- firewall support
/etc/net provides support for the following interface types:
- Ethernet
- WiFi (WEP)
- IPv4/IPv6 tunnels
- PSK IPSec tunnels
- VLAN
- PLIP
- Ethernet bonding and bridging
- traffic equalizer
- usbnet
- PPP (PPtP, PPPoE)
Enhancements:
- This release better matches the option set of /etc/net scripts 0.8.0.

Murrine Configurator provides the opportunity to configure all the Murrine Engine style options.

With Murrine Configurator i want to give users the opportunity to configure all the Murrine Engine style options.

The usage is very simple and the dialogs explain step by step the style options you can edit.

The program is written in bash and required only the installation of "zenity", that is a Gtk2 utility for bash scripting (if you are using ubuntu you can install it with "apt-get install zenity").

After the installation the program can be found under System -> Preferences -> Murrine Configurator.

Network Communicator is a simple script for sending and receiving data over TCP/UDP connections.
It can be useful for testing firewall configurations, routing tables, and similar things.
I had originally written two scripts for testing TCP only: a talker and a listener. Upon failure to properly modify them to support UDP only, I made Netcom. It allows the sending and receiving of TCP or UDP data to arbitrary IPs/Ports and optional from/to files.
Im sure there are already tools like this out there like netcat, but wasnt able to get netcat working properly for UDP also. Either way, here you go and enjoy!
Launch Netcom with no options to view the usage.
Enhancements:
- A complete re-write to support arbitrary source/destination and port forwarding (not tunneling).

Network FIFO project is a network object that provides data transfering tunnel across network in first in/first out manner.

Simply put,

fifo server file is: monotech_fifo.pl
This script require Net::Server::NonBlocking at least 4.1(you can grab from CPAN)

% perl monotech_fifo.pl < address > < port >

and itll show up like this:

[root@WongWai monotech_fifo]# perl monotech_fifo.pl 192.168.3.52 12000
Listen on 192.168.3.52:20005
Listen on 192.168.3.52:12000

12000 is the port in which the fifo resides.
20005 is the port in which backoffice management resides.

--------------------------------------------------

port 20005 in which the management control resides can be accessed by "admin.pl"

% perl admin.pl < address >

for example

perl admin.pl 192.168.3.52

itll show something like this:

message>

where you can type some commands and press enter

the commands are:

message>readers
message>flush

(flush is the command that read all socket buffer of the admin client socket)

to show all reader in the fifo, it is very useful when some reader is connection disconnected by his ISP or readers machine hangs, the fifo will hold his connection forever (It is because the monotech_fifo.pl doesnt set SO_KEEPALIVE and TCP_KEEPALIVE which will be fixed in the future)

and

message>kill_reader[tab]< fifo name >

to kill any connection of < fifo name >

This package is heavily used by my company, so it is likely reliable.

Skipole Network Monitor project is a simple network monitor with built in web server.

It allows the user to input host IP addresses, it then pings these hosts every five minutes and displays their status via a built-in web server, on port 8000.

So calling http://your_pc_address:8000 will display pages showing green, yellow or red host or group symbols.

Each host is pinged four times every five minutes, and symbols are displayed as:

green : if three or four pings are successfull
yellow : if only one or two are successfull
red : if all four fail

As well as hosts, group symbols are displayed, and can be opened to show hosts, or sub-groups nested within. The operator can create groups, and sub-groups via the gui.

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.
