Involved Projects and Packages
This package is based on the package 'taglib' from project 'openSUSE:Factory'.
libtag provides a C++ interface for reading additional data (stored in
TAGs) from MP3, Ogg Vorbis, and MPEG files.
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.
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.
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).
