Involved Projects and Packages
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.
Nmap is designed to allow system administrators and curious individuals to scan large networks to determine which hosts are up and what services they are offering. XNmap is a graphical front-end that shows nmap's output clearly.
Find documentation in /usr/share/doc/packages/nmap.

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.

ipset 6.x for kernel >= 2.6.39
Iptables is used to set up, maintain, and inspect the tables of IP
packet filter rules in the Linux kernel. This version requires kernel
2.4.0 or newer.
Server Database software
Galera is a fast synchronous multimaster wsrep provider (replication engine)
for transactional databases and similar applications. For more information
about wsrep API see http://launchpad.net/wsrep. For a description of Galera
replication engine see http://www.codership.com.
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.
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.

Redis 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. Redis supports
different kind of sorting abilities.
getdns is an implementation of a modern asynchronous DNS API; the
specification was originally edited by Paul Hoffman. It is intended
to make all types of DNS information easily available to application
developers and non-DNS experts.
Stubby is an application that acts as a local DNS Privacy stub
resolver (using DNS-over-TLS). Stubby encrypts DNS queries sent
from a client machine (desktop or laptop) to a DNS Privacy resolver
increasing end user privacy. Stubby is in the early stages of
development but is suitable for technical/advanced users. A more
generally user-friendly version is on the way!
Stubby provides DNS Privacy by:
- Running as a daemon
- Listening on the loopback address to send all outgoing DNS queries
received on that address out over TLS
- Using a default configuration which provides Strict Privacy and
uses a subset of the available DNS Privacy servers
Stubby is developed by the getdns team.
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.
