netsniff-ng v0.5.6 Released
netsniff-ng is a free, performant Linux network analyzer and networking toolkit. The gain of performance is reached by ‘zero-copy’ mechanisms, so that the kernel does not need to copy packets from kernelspace to userspace.
Changelog v0.5.6
- netsniff-ng has been completely rewritten and extended with further tools into a toolkit
The netsniff-ng toolkit currently consists of the following utilities:
- netsniff-ng: the zero-copy sniffer, pcap capturer and replayer itself
- trafgen: a high performance zero-copy network packet generator
- ifpps: a top-like kernel networking and system statistics tool
- curvetun: a lightweight curve25519-based multiuser IP tunnel
- ashunt: an autonomous system trace route and ISP testing utility
- flowtop: a top-like netfilter connection tracking tool
- bpfc: a tiny Berkeley Packet Filter compiler supporting Linux extensions
