Involved Projects and Packages
FPing is a ping-like program that uses the Internet Control Message Protocol (ICMP) echo request to determine if a target host is responding. FPing differs from ping in that you can specify any number of targets on the command line or specify a file containing a list of targets to ping. Instead of sending pings to one target until it times out or replies, FPing sends a ping packet and moves on to the next target in a round-robin fashion.
In the default mode, if a target replies, it is noted and removed from the list of targets to check. If a target does not respond within a certain time limit or retry limit, it is designated as unreachable.
FPing also supports sending a specified number of pings to a target or looping indefinitely (as in ping).
Unlike ping, FPing is meant to be used in scripts. Its output is designed to be easy to parse.
A tool for looking at the ICMP messages received on the running host.
Mtr is a network diagnostic tool that combines Ping and Traceroute into
one program. This package contains the mtr version with an ncurses
interface, in other words, the text mode version is usable in a shell
(telnet or SSH session, for example).
Find the graphical version in the mtr-gtk package.
Nping is a tool for network packet generation, response
analysis and response time measurement. Nping allows to generate network
packets of a wide range of protocols, letting users to tune virtually
any field of the protocol headers. While Nping can be used as a simple
ping utility to detect active hosts, it can also be used as a raw packet
generator for network stack stress tests, ARP poisoning, Denial of
Service attacks, route tracing, etc.
Telnet is an old protocol for logging into remote systems. It is
rarely used, since the transfer is not encrypted (ssh is mostly used
these days). The telnet client is often used for debugging other
network services. The command
telnet localhost 25
connects to the local smtp server, for example.
This package provides a commandline client for the WHOIS (RFC 3912)
protocol, which queries online servers for information such as contact
details for domains and IP address assignments.
It can intelligently select the appropriate WHOIS server for most queries.
The package also contains mkpasswd, a features-rich front end to the
password encryption function crypt(3).
Judy is a C library that provides a state-of-the-art core technology that implements a sparse dynamic array. Judy arrays are declared simply with a null pointer. A Judy array consumes memory only when it is populated, yet can grow to take advantage of all available memory if desired.
Judy's key benefits are scalability, high performance, and memory efficiency. A Judy array is extensible and can scale up to a very large number of elements, bounded only by machine memory. Since Judy is designed as an unbounded array, the size of a Judy array is not pre-allocated but grows and shrinks dynamically with the array population.
Lasso is a library that implements the Liberty Alliance Single Sign On
standards, including the SAML and SAML2 specifications. It allows to handle
the whole life-cycle of SAML based Federations, and provides bindings
for multiple languages.

Server Database software
MariaDB is a backward compatible, drop-in replacement branch of the MySQL
Database Server. It includes all major open source storage engines, including
the Maria storage engine.
MariaDB Connector is used to connect applications developed in
C or C++ to MariaDB and MySQL databases. This is a different
implementation from the traditional libmariadbclient/libmysqlclient
that is shipped with mariadb-server/mysql-server, but the API is the same.
SQL is the most popular database language in the world. MySQL is a
client/server implementation that consists of a server daemon (mysqld)
and many different client programs and libraries.
The main goals of MySQL are speed, robustness, and ease of use. MySQL
was originally developed because the developers at TcX needed an SQL
server that could handle very large databases an order of magnitude
faster than what any database vendor could offer them. They have now
been using MySQL since 1996 in an environment with more than 40
databases containing 10,000 tables, of which more than 500 have more
than 7 million rows. This is about 100 gigabytes of mission-critical
data.
The base upon which MySQL is built is a set of routines that have been
used in a highly demanding production environment for many years. While
MySQL is still in development, it already offers a rich and highly
useful function set.
The official way to pronounce MySQL is "My Ess Que Ell" (Not
MY-SEQUEL).
This package only contains the server-side programs.

Valkey is an advanced key-value store. It is similar to memcached but the dataset
is not volatile, and values can be strings, exactly like in memcached,
but also lists, sets, and ordered sets. All this data types can be manipulated
with atomic operations to push/pop elements, add/remove elements, perform server
side union, intersection, difference between sets, and so forth. It supports many
different kinds of sorting abilities.
SquidGuard is a filter, redirector, and access controller plugin for squid.
It lets you define multiple access rules with different restrictions for
different user groups on a squid cache. SquidGuard uses squid's
standard redirector interface.
A pluggable data store for hierarcical data
NOTE: Automatically created during Factory devel project migration by admin.
pm-utils provide simple shell command line tools to suspend and
hibernate computers that can be used to run vendor or distro supplied
scripts on suspend and resume.
