PPPGun-Dialer is a Tcl/Tk script that can be used to etablish a PPP connection by dialing a remote terminal server.
It is based on PPP-on/PPP-off scripts, but it is more flexible than those scripts, allowing a more intelligent dialog with the modem.
PPPGun-Dialer is an user friendly program written in Tcl/Tk, Shell scripts, C language, nicely tested on Slackware-3.x, RedHat-5.x, RedHat-6.x, RedHat-7.0.
Main features:
- PAP, CHAP or NO PAP NO CHAP connections
- Global or per user connections

KSSH is a KDE front-end to ssh.

It can work as a standard KDE application that launches ssh connections in a terminal or as a konsole session.

This means that you can press in any konsole "New Session" and then select "Secure Shell".

Cutter is an TCP/IP Connection cutting on Linux Firewalls and Routers.

Cutter is an open source program that uses the FIN-ACK-RST packet technique described above to abort TCP/IP connections routed over the firewall or router on which it is run. It can be called using one of the following four syntaxes.

cutter ip-address

Example: "cutter 10.10.0.45"

Cuts all connections passing through the firewall between any ports on the specified ip-address (either a "private" or "public" address) and any other hosts. This can be used to close down all incoming connections to a particular server, all outgoing connections from a particular client or all outgoing connections to a server.

cutter ip-address port

Example: "cutter 200.1.2.3 80"

Cuts all connections to or from the specified ip-address/port pair. This allows the user to be a little more specific than the previous example and allows targetting of specific services on specific hosts.

cutter ip-address-1 port-1 ip-address-2

Example "cutter 200.1.2.3 22 10.10.0.45"

Cuts all connections between ip-address-2 and ip-address-1/port-1. This allows the user to cut connections between a specified "client" and a particular service on a specified host. Our example closes host 10.10.0.45s SSH connection to server 200.1.2.3.

cutter ip-address-1 port-1 ip-address-2 port-2

Example: "cutter 200.1.2.3 22 10.10.0.45 32451"

Cuts the specific connection between the two ip/port number pairs given.

IMPORTANT WARNING

Cutter has been designed for use as a administrators tool for Linux firewalls. Its use (as is, or modified) for any other purpose is not sanctioned by the author. So - do not use this tool as a parachute, or to dry your cat, chill meat, answer your phone, drive you car, teach your kids to read or attack other peoples computer systems or networks.

This software has been designed for "legal" and "appropriate" use by network security administrators and the like. It has been written as part of a larger Linux firewall project, targetting at controlling traffic from peer-to-peer software such as Kazaa, iMesh and others into and out of a private network. It is not designed as a tool for malicious use and the author in no way sanctions such use.

Users of the software should be aware that its actions are easily detectable using a number of readily available network monitoring tools, and it makes no attempt to disguise its actions. Malicious use of "cutter" could result in a jail sentance in a number of countries around the world.

Gnome Remote Connection Manager is a gnome application that stores information
about remote connections.
It gives you a GUI program to launch applications like telnet, shh, or rdesktop. It is highly configurable as to what type of applications it launches, so you are not limited to the three listed, for example I never thought of using it for ftp, but it would be easy to setup.
GRCM uses gconf to store information about connections.
Enhancements:
- Added some missing icons.
- Fixed a callback in the Connections Dialog that made the default arguments from the connection appear when selected.

GWireless is a simplist utility for managing wifi 802.11x wireless connections on FreeBSD.

GWireless enables you to connect to available networks without touching the ifconfig command by hand.

Asumptions:

- sudo available without pass
- wireless is ipw0 (if not, "ifconfig yours0 name ipw0")

SSL Proxy server listens on a TCP port, accepts SSL connections, and forwards them to another local or remote TCP port.
For example, it is possible to create an HTTPS server if you have an HTTP server and you run an SSL Proxy server on port 443 which forwards the connections to port 80.
SSL Proxys design makes it as secure as possible and still perform well.
Enhancements:
- Improved certificate handling (chained certificates are now supported), more error information on SSL protocol errors during SSL_accept(), -U and -D options (buffer size), and a "powered by" logo.

FTP Monitor is a simple panel applet, which monitors incoming connections to ftpd(vsftpd/ncftpd/pure-ftpd/proftpd) and generates passive popups.
For pure-ftpd, ncftpd, proftpd it acts as a frontend to pure-ftpwho, ncftpd_spy and ftpwho respectively. For vsftpd, it looks in output of ps -fe.
Enhancements:
- Update the change in ftp daemon (or path) withour requiring a restart
- Fixed the bug (introduced in 0.70) that FTP status will not update
- For large panels, the icon is now centered
