I carry my Trinux bootable business card everywhere. A subset of its package list would fit. http://trinux.sourceforge.net/ Network tools I use every day include: ntop: traffic monitor, both GUI and ncurses available ethereal: packet sniffer, comes in GUI and command-line netcat: send or listen on any TCP or UDP port. Extremely handy for quick-n-dirty network apps tcpdump: command-line packet sniffer stunnel: wraps encryption around most any standard TCP protocol dsniff: information grabber for clear-text and ssh1 connections. Useful for convincing people to switch from ftp and telnet to ssh2/scp/sftp. ettercap: connection sniffer with extras (I don't run this at work, ever. It can do mean things to switches like ARP-spoofing). etherape: graphical view of network traffic, very pretty but requires Gnome. In addition, I'd recommend putting the latest libpcap packet capture library in the greyhatpack since a number of these tools depend on it. -- Carl Patten
