ipband is a pcap based IP traffic monitor. It tallies per-subnet traffic
and bandwidth usage and starts detailed logging if specified threshold
for the specific subnet is exceeded. If traffic has been high for a
certain period of time, the report for that subnet is generated which
can be appended to a file or e-mailed. When bandwidth usage drops below
the threshold, detailed logging for the subnet is stopped and memory is
freed.
This utility could be handy in a limited bandwidth WAN environment
(frame relay, ISDN etc. circuits) to pinpoint offending traffic source
if certain links become saturated to the point where legitimate packets
start getting dropped.
It also can be used to monitor internet connection when specifying the
range of local ip addresses (to avoid firing reports about non-local
networks).

- Support for decrypting resumed sessions.
- Fixed a core dump under certain RST conditions.
- Support for an arbitrary number of connections (previous versions had a hard limit).
- Better error reporting when you provide a bad password.
- Some performance fixes.
- Other bug fixes.
- Bugfixes, optimizations and a few new features; see
http://gtk-gnutella.sourceforge.net/changelog/ for details
o Install README and manual page from debian
o Clean up DESCR
o This is not an audio-related port
o The port uses X11
o The port can build concurrently

Enhancements were made to many dissectors. In particular, the SMB, DCE
RPC, PPP, and GIOP dissectors had major updates.
New dissectors include:
CosEventComm
Quake 3 Arena
GMRP
GTP
HMIPv6
OSPFv3
MMSE
UCP
Skinny Client Control Protocol
The Chatbot::Eliza module implements the classic Eliza algorithm.
The original Eliza program was written by Joseph Weizenbaum and described
in the Communications of the ACM in 1967. Eliza is a mock Rogerian
psychotherapist. It prompts for user input, and uses a simple
transformation algorithm to change user input into a follow-up question.

Net::Ping::External is a module which interfaces with the ping(1)
command on the system. It presently provides a single function,
ping(), that takes in a hostname and (optionally) a timeout and
returns true if the host is alive, and false otherwise. Unless
you have the ability (and willingness) to run your scripts as
the superuser on your system, this module will probably provide
more accurate results than Net::Ping (bundled with the perl
base installation) will.

libpcap is a packet capturing library. It is used by all sorts of
networking diagnostic programs (like tcpdump and nmap).
py-libpcap is an interface to this library for Python.

* Take care to set a sane PATH.
* Add set -e
* Copy example files into ${PREFIX}/share/examples/PORTNAME.
* Replace PKGNAME with P_NAME in INSTALL/DEINSTALL scripts, unclear
since it already exists in the Makefile with a different value.
* Change output of INSTALL/DEINSTALL to be more like other scripts
found in the tree(suggested by heko@).
* Add missing gdbm dependency.

Added code in both the client and the server to detect whether the
peer is an old version with the S1G bug. The server will refuse
to serve such clients, and the client will refuse updates from
such a server. In each case, an error message is printed with a
URL that describes the bug and the upgrade procedure.
Resolv allows a user to resolve the names of a single IP address or
entire network of addresses to maintain a "map" of the names that
comprise a certain network.
The crawl utility starts a depth-first traversal of the web at the
specified URLs. It stores all JPEG images that match the configured
constraints. Crawl is fairly fast and allows for graceful termination.
After terminating crawl, it is possible to restart it at exactly the
same spot where it was terminated. Crawl keeps a persistent database
that allows multiple crawls without revisiting sites.
The main reason for writing crawl was the lack of simple open source
web crawlers. Crawl is only a few thousand lines of code and fairly
easy to debug and customize.
Features
+ Saves encountered JPEG images
+ Image selection based on regular expressions and size contraints
+ Resume previous crawl after graceful termination
+ Persistent database of visited URLs
+ Very small and efficient code
+ Supports robots.txt

TightVNC is an enhanced version of VNC, which is optimized to work over
slow network connections such as low-speed modem links. While original
VNC may be very slow when your connection is not fast enough, with
TightVNC you can work remotely almost in real time in most environments.
Besides bandwidth optimizations, TightVNC also includes many other
improvements, optimizations and bugfixes over VNC. Note that TightVNC is
free, cross-platform and compatible with the standard VNC.
