10 Best Free and Open Source Software (FOSS) Programs I Found in 2016

10 Best Free and Open Source Software (FOSS) Programs I Found in 2016

1. Atom Editor

Without a doubt, this is my top #1 choice. Perhaps it is because I’m not only a system administrator but also a developer. When I found this Linux text editor developed by GitHub I was totally blown away by it.
Atom is easily extensible through extra packages that provide among other things code autocompletion for a wide variety of languages, FTP capabilities, and built-in browser preview.

2. NextCloud

Described as “a safe home for all your data”, NextCloud was started as a separate project by one of ownCloud’s first collaborators.
Although it raised a few sparks between him and the ownCloud community, NextCloud seems to be here to stay and compete with ownCloud as a private cloud solution to access and share your files, calendars and contacts.

3. Celestia

Because even system administrators and developers need a little distraction, you can use Celestia (a free 3D astronomy program) to navigate the universe.
As opposed to other planetarium software, Celestia allows you to travel throughout the solar system and the galaxy, not just the surface of the earth. To infinity and beyond!

4. FreeRDP

If your system administration tasks include managing Windows servers via Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP), FreeRDP is a tool that you will want to try out.
It is described by its developers as a RDP client for Windows Terminal Services. The project is hosted on GitHub, so you are welcome to collaborate with it if you wish.

5. Flyspray

Again, I may be a little biased on this one. If you are searching for a bug-tracking and project management solution, don’t look any further Flyspray, a web-based tool powered by Apache, has exactly what you need. And don’t just take my word for it: even ArchLinux uses Flyspray for bug-tracking.
It supports MySQL or PostgreSQL as database servers and provides voting functionality, email notifications (requires a separate mail server to be installed and configured) and optional Single-Sign On (SSO) using a Facebook or Google accounts.

How to spoof your IP address using NMAP in Windows

Networking 101: How to spoof your IP address using NMAP in Windows Sometimes when building firewall rules in a big network it's difficult to tell what will happen to routing and inside a firewall just by looking at the rules.  In many cases somebody wants a server with some IP address to talk to another server somewhere on the network.  The best thing to do is traceroute, or telnet to the service ports from the source host and see what the firewall does with the traffic.  Does it ever see the packet?  If so does it allow or block it? This becomes more difficult when you don't have access to the source host, and/or the people in charge of it are unwilling/unable to run a trace.  As in maybe they don't know how or just don't respond to your questions in time.  If you try to explain 'telnetting to a port' it can confuse a lot of DBA's  :-O So here's the next best thing - you can try it yourself, but "spoof" the source IP address of the reque
