Tegola -- Rural Broadband in Scotland

Comprehensive site -- which grew out of an Edinburgh/UHI/etc. research project -- on building wireless networks in hard-to-serve parts of Scotland. "The other revelation that happened after we had put up our first relay was that they do not have to be tall sticky-up things. Whoever created Scotland provided it with an abundance of tall sticky-up things."

ZMap ยท The Internet Scanner

Stateless scanner for very large networks (e.g. the Internet). Shame they've chosen to roll their own completely broken build system and I can't compile it without copious hand-hacking.

Mosh: the mobile shell

SSH replacement for poor-quality links. It works by effectively distributing screen's model: the client has a full terminal emulator inside it, and does intelligent synchronisation with the server. Downsides: custom crypto (argh!), needs UDP (double argh!), ludicrous complexity.

Google library for packing and unpacking reasonably complicated structured protocols. This'd be useful for distributed simulation.

node.js

Server-side Javascript with sensible ideas about concurrency: "Processes are necessary to scale to multi-core computers, not memory-sharing threads."

WPA CRACKER

More interesting for the links in their FAQ than for the service itself, although a NetworkManager plugin that uses this would be an obvious application.
