Tegola -- Rural Broadband in Scotland edit / delete

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 · The Internet Scanner edit / delete

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 edit / delete

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.

Test your IPv6. edit / delete

As it says -- including whether your DNS recursor does IPv6 queries (which mine doesn't, because it's a WRT54G with no spare disk space).

protobuf - Project Hosting on Google Code edit / delete

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

wicd - home edit / delete

Another not-NetworkManager. (It can't possibly be worse, right?)

node.js edit / delete

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

WPA CRACKER edit / delete

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.
