Current trees are Exploits, Tools, Tutorials and Links.

 
Regarding ARKNG's Post. Here is more information on "One Air Force, One Network". Smells like Monoculture. The idea of a single web based extranet for ALL Air Force functions scare the bejeezus out of me. Remember when the Army was repeatedly owned via IIS and responded by switching their public servers to OS-X? Explore this Google query for more reasons why this is probably a bad idea.

 
tcpick is a textmode sniffer libpcap-based that can track, reassemble and reorder tcp streams. Tcpick is able to save the captured flows in different files or displays them in the terminal, and so it is useful to sniff files that are transmitted via ftp or http. It can display all the stream on the terminal, when the connection is closed in different display modes like hexdump, hexdump + ascii, only printable charachters, raw mode and so on. Available a color mode too, helpful to read and understand better the output of the program. Actually it can handle several interfaces, including ethernet cards and ppp. It is useful to keep track of what users of a network are doing, and is usable with textmode tools like grep, sed, awk.
