Free network probe 3.0 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.

Network Ustadi is a Web interface for managing network services. It provides firewall management, routing table management, NAT configuration, DHCP server configuration, interface configuration, etc.
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.
The tool, designed and coded by one of our developers Ozkan KIRIK, has the capability to generate FreeBSD IPFW and Linux Iptables rulesets. It has been written in C language and includes its own HTTP server.
The newly anounced version provides a web interface for system administrators to add/delete/update IPFW and Iptables rulesets, manage routing table and network interfaces. You can manage your firewall via a TCP/IP connected remote PC, easily.
Enhancements:
- Problems that causes the process to terminate, solved.
- Virtual Server configuration problem fixed.
- Some fixes in nat management module.

ntop is a network traffic probe that shows the network usage, similar to what the popular top Unix command does.
The project is based on libpcap and it has been written in a portable way in order to virtually run on every Unix platform and on Win32 as well.
ntop users can use a a web browser (e.g. netscape) to navigate through ntop (that acts as a web server) traffic information and get a dump of the network status.
In the latter case, ntop can be seen as a simple RMON-like agent with an embedded web interface. The use of:
a web interface
limited configuration and administration via the web interface
reduced CPU and memory usage (they vary according to network size and traffic)
make ntop easy to use and suitable for monitoring various kind of networks.
Main features:
- Sort network traffic according to many protocols
- Show network traffic sorted according to various criteria
- Display traffic statistics
- Store on disk persistent traffic statistics in RRD format
- Identify the indentity (e.g. email address) of computer users
- Passively (i.e. withou sending probe packets) identify the host OS
- Show IP traffic distribution among the various protocols
- Analyse IP traffic and sort it according to the source/destination
- Display IP Traffic Subnet matrix (whos talking to who?)
- Report IP protocol usage sorted by protocol type
- Act as a NetFlow/sFlow collector for flows generated by routers (e.g. Cisco and Juniper) or switches (e.g. Foundry Networks)
- Produce RMON-like network traffic statistics
Additional features of "ntop":
- Network Flows
- Local Traffic Analysis
- Multithread and MP (MultiProcessor) support on both Unix and Win32
- Perl/PHP/Python lightweight API for accessing ntop from remote
- Support of both NetFlow andsFlow as flow collector. ntop can collect simultaneously from multiple probes.
- Traffic statistics are saved into RRD databases for long-run traffic analysis.
- Internet Domain, AS (Autonomous Systems), VLAN (Virtual LAN) Statistics
- Network assets discovery and categorization according to their OS and users
- Protocol decoders for most of known P2P (Peer to Peer) protocols
- Advanced per user HTTP password protection with encrypted passwords
- RRD support for persistently storing per-host traffic information
- Passive remote host fingerprint (Courtesy of ettercap)
- HTTPS (Secure HTTP via OpenSSL)
- Virtual/multiple network interfaces support
- Graphical Charts (via gdchart)
- WAP support

This program will help you to view network activity on your network device such as eth0, ppp0 and so on.

It put animated, graduated, icons near the KDE tray.

THC-Probe is the ultimate host scanner compilation for Linux, featuring nmap, snmpscan, netbios auditing tool and super-cool vh shell script.

INSTALL: just run "make install". Everything will be installed in /usr/local

RUN: just run "netprobe" and see the options.

Every host scanned will be saved as a "host.bla.com.probe" file in your current directory.

It does many stuff like snmp guessing, samba pw guessing and information gathering.

Nothing great and big, but it suits my needs.

mrtg-misc-probe probes different system features for mrtg to graph.
Currently it can probe:
- percent usage of disk space and inodes for UFS filesystems
- percent usage of disk space for VxFS filesystems
- incoming and outgoing mail messages on sendmail mail server
- total size of mail messages sendt and received on sendmail mail server
- network delay using NTP peers/servers
- number of ClearCase vobs and views
- number of available and used ClearCase and MultiSite licenses
- number of active and disconnected sessions of a Citrix Metaframe server
- number of reachable hosts in a given network range
- network device reachability (ping success)
Enhancements:
- New probes: ctxmf - number of active and disconnected Citrix Metaframe sessions; hostcount - scan given nmap-network-range and return number of hosts found.

My Network Catalog is an indexing engine that allows Windows shares (or Samba shares) to be bound together over a local network.

My Network Catalog allows an easy centralized search of all the files available over the network.
