Network Diagnostic Tools

Each Ember is deployed with a “nettools” container containing many useful network diagnostic tools including but not limited to:

1. tcpdump: A powerful command-line packet analyzer. It allows the user to display TCP/IP and other packets being transmitted or received over a network.
2. curl: A command-line tool for transferring data with URLs. It supports various protocols, including HTTP, HTTPS, FTP, and SFTP.
3. traceroute: A network diagnostic tool used to track the pathway taken by a packet on an IP network from source to destination, and report transit delays of packets across an IP network.
4. iputils-ping: Implements the ICMP protocol's mandatory ECHO_REQUEST datagram (ping) functionality. It's used to check the reachability of a host on an IP network.
5. iputils-tracepath: A network diagnostic tool similar to traceroute, but it doesn't require root privileges. It discovers MTU along the path and gives a detailed route path report.
6. nmap: Network Mapper, or 'nmap' for short, is a security scanner used to discover hosts and services on a computer network, thus creating a "map" of the network.
7. openssh-client: A secure shell (SSH) client used for secure remote network communication or remote command execution.
8. speedtest-cli: A command line interface for testing internet bandwidth using speedtest.net.
9. dnsutils: A package of tools including 'dig', 'nslookup', and 'host' for querying information from the DNS servers.
10. jq: A lightweight and flexible command-line JSON processor. It's like 'sed' for JSON data.
11. mtr: Combines the functionality of the 'traceroute' and 'ping' programs in a single network diagnostic tool.
12. iperf3: A tool to measure the bandwidth and the quality of a network link.
13. net-tools: A collection of programs that form the base set of the NET-3 networking distribution for the Linux operating system. It includes tools like 'ifconfig', 'netstat', 'route', etc.
14. netcat: Often referred to as a "Swiss-army knife for TCP/IP," netcat is a simple Unix utility which reads and writes data across network connections, using TCP or UDP protocol.
