"NNSquad Network Measurement Agent" Beta Now Available
http://lauren.vortex.com/archive/000388.html
Greetings. The NNSquad Network Measurement Agent (NNMA)
( http://www.nnsquad.org/agent ) monitors network activity on computer
systems, looking for and flagging a variety of potential problems.
NNMA also includes a special function that attempts to detect reset
(RST) packets that may have been injected into a TCP connection by
any entity not located at the connection endpoints (for more on this
feature, please see the NNMA methodology notes -
http://www.nnsquad.org/nnma-methodology.html ).
While the reset packet detection system included in this release is
of interest, NNSquad views this package as more important in the
long run as a development base for a broad range of network
measurement functionalities and associated communications and
analysis efforts.
The NNSquad Network Measurement Agent (NNMA) Beta 2.0.0.6 is
released as open source software under the LGPL, by the Network
Neutrality Squad project of People For Internet Responsibility.
It was developed from the "Buster" network management and security
program, which was specifically open-sourced by its authors at
Praemio, Inc. in furtherance of the NNSquad project. Additional
licensing details are included in both the installable and source
distribution archives.
This package is suitable for installation on Windows 2000, XP, and
Vista.
Please see: http://www.nnsquad.org/agent for more details.
Good luck, Mr. Phelps.
