* Initial APKBUILD for netsniff-ngFabian Affolter2011-07-032-0/+55
Package description: The gain of performance is reached by zero-copy mechanisms, so that the kernel does not need to copy packets from kernelspace to userspace and vice versa. For this purpose, the netsniff-ng suite is libpcap independent, but nevertheless supports the pcap file format for capturing, replaying and performing offline-analysis of pcap dumps. Furthermore, we are focussing on building a robust, clean and secure analyzer and utilities that complete netsniff-ng as a support for network development, debugging or network reconnaissance. netsniff-ng consists of much more than only a network analyzer. Next to the zero-copy sniffer itself, further tools like trafgen, a powerful zero-copy network packet generator, or ifpps, a tool that provides top-like kernel networking statistics, are being shipped. Some use cases and features - Open source project and free licensing - Integrated high-performance capabilities - Analizing and debugging of network problems or protocol implementations - Reverse engineering of (i.e. proprietary) network protocols - Dumping, replaying and offline analysis of pcap traces - Focus on usability, robustness, security and functionality - Support utility for penetration testing, network reconnaissance - Network statistic creation (e.g. for Nagios, gnuplot) - Powerful, flexible and performant traffic generation - Reliable, top-like kernel networking statistics
