Nmap ('Network Mapper') is a free and open source (license) utility fornetwork discovery and security auditing. Many systems and networkadministrators also find it useful for tasks such as network inventory,managing service upgrade schedules, and monitoring host or serviceuptime. Nmap uses raw IP packets in novel ways to determine what hostsare available on the network, what services (application name andversion) those hosts are offering, what operating systems (and OSversions) they are running, what type of packet filters/firewalls are inuse, and dozens of other characteristics. It was designed to rapidlyscan large networks, but works fine against single hosts.

RCDefaultApp is a Mac OS X 10.2 or higher preference pane that allows auser to set the default application used for various URL schemes, fileextensions, file types, MIME types, and Uniform Type Identifiers (orUTIs; MacOS 10.4 only). MacOS X uses the extension and file typesettings to choose the application when opening a file in Finder, whileSafari and other applications use the URL and MIME type settings atother times for content not related to a file (such as an unknown URLprotocol, or a media stream).
RCDefaultApp also allows setting the application when digital cameras orFireWire webcams such as iSight are connected to the computer. Forcompleteness' sake, there are also settings that mimic the existing 'CDsand DVDs' preference pane, which allows setting the action to take whenvarious types of CDs and DVDs are inserted into the computer.
RCDefaultApp also allows entries to be disabled, such as URL schemes that have security issues.

Today that moniker doesn't even begin to describe the capabilities that Snortbrings to the table as the most widely deployed intrusion prevention technology worldwide.Over the years Snort has evolved into a mature, feature rich technology that has becomethe de facto standard in intrusion detection and prevention. Recent advances in both therules language and detection capabilities offer the most flexible and accurate threatdetection available, making Snort the 'heavyweight' champion of intrusion prevention.

Aprogram like 'tcpdump' shows a summary of packets seen on the wire, but usually doesn'tstore the data that's actually being transmitted. In contrast, tcpflow reconstructs theactual data streams and stores each flow in a separate file for later analysis.
