[c-nsp] Top 10 Network Engineering Tools

[Masood Ahmad Shah]

Here are the key network tools any network engineer shouldn't be without :)

Packet sniffing (ethereal, tcpdump)
terminal/console (v100)
ping
traceroute
arp
hping (ip spoofing, flooding to test your link or firewall and packet
manipulation "send custom ICMP, UDP and TCP packets")
nslookup
ssh (I don't like telnet anymore)
nmap (TCP/UDP port scanner)
gooooooooooooooooooooooooogle (www.google.com)

Hey all,

Myself and a coworker are trying to get together a list of the top ten tools
any network engineer shouldn't be without.  We're looking for vendor neutral
tools.  So what do you all think are the most haves?




Thanks
Joseph
