NfSen

NfSen is a graphical web based front end for the nfdump netflow tools.

NfSen allows you to:

  • Display your netflow data: Flows, Packets and Bytes using RRD (Round Robin Database).

  • Easily navigate through the netflow data.

  • Process the netflow data within the specified time span.

  • Create history as well as continuous profiles.

  • Set alerts, based on various conditions.

  • Write your own plugins to process netflow data on a regular interval.

Different tasks need different interfaces to your netflow data. NfSen allows you to keep all the convenient advantages of the command line using nfdump directly and gives you also a graphical overview over your netflow data.
NfSen is available at 
sourceforge and distributed under the BSD license

Configuring Secure Shell on Routers and Switches Running Cisco IOS

Set Up an IOS Router or Switch as SSH Client

There are four steps required to enable SSH support on an IOS router:

1. Configure the hostname command.
2. Configure the DNS domain.
3. Generate the SSH key to be used.
4. Enable SSH transport support for the virtual type terminal (vtys).

If you want to have one device act as an SSH client to the other, you can add SSH to a second device called Reed. These devices are then in a client-server arrangement, where Carter acts as the server, and Reed acts as the client. The IOS SSH client configuration on Reed is the same as required for the SSH server configuration on Carter.


!--- Step 1: Configure the hostname if you have not previously done so.

hostname carter

!--- The aaa new-model command causes the local username and password on the router
!--- to be used in the absence of other AAA statements.

aaa new-model
username cisco password 0 cisco

!--- Step 2: Configure the DNS domain of the router.

ip domain-name rtp.cisco.com

!--- Step 3: Generate an SSH key to be used with SSH.

cry key generate rsa
ip ssh time-out 60
ip ssh authentication-retries 2

!--- Step 4: By default the vtys' transport is Telnet. In this case,
!--- Telnet is disabled and only SSH is supported.

line vty 0 4
transport input SSH

!--- Instead of aaa new-model, you can use the login local command.

Utorrent


µTorrent, the BitTorrent client that is..


Micro-Sized Yet Feature Filled

Most of the features present in other BitTorrent clients are present in µTorrent, including bandwidth prioritization, scheduling, RSS auto-downloading and Mainline DHT (compatible with BitComet). Additionally, µTorrent supports the Protocol Encryption joint specification (compatible with Azureus 2.4.0.0 and above, BitComet 0.63 and above) and peer exchange.


Resource-Friendly

µTorrent was written with efficiency in mind. Unlike many torrent clients, it does not hog valuable system resources - typically using less than 6MB of memory, allowing you to use the computer as if it weren't there at all. Additionally, the program itself is contained within a single executable less than 220 KB in size.


Skinnable and Localized

Various icon, toolbar graphic and status icon replacements are available, and creating your own is very simple. µTorrent also has support for localization, and with a language file present, will automatically switch to your system language. If your language isn't available, you can easily add your own, or edit other existing translations to improve them!


Actively Developed and Improved

The developer puts in a lot of time working on features and making things more user-friendly. Releases only come out when they're ready, with no schedule pressures, so the few bugs that appear are quickly addressed and fixed.
