Description: Linux network packet sniffer toolkit
netsniff-ng is a high performance Linux network sniffer for packet inspection.
It can be used for protocol analysis, reverse engineering or network
debugging. The gain of performance is reached by 'zero-copy' mechanisms, so
that the kernel does not need to copy packets from kernelspace to userspace.
.
netsniff-ng toolkit currently consists of the following utilities:
.
* netsniff-ng: a zero-copy packet analyzer, pcap capturing/replaying tool
* trafgen: a multithreaded low-level zero-copy network packet generator
* mausezahn: high-level packet generator for appliances with Cisco-CLI
* ifpps: a top-like kernel networking and system statistics tool
* curvetun: a lightweight curve25519-based multiuser IP tunnel
* astraceroute: an autonomous system trace route and DPI testing utility
* flowtop: a top-like netfilter connection tracking tool
* bpfc: a [seccomp-]BPF (Berkeley packet filter) compiler, JIT disassembler
