IT Pro Tuesday #331
Welcome back to IT Pro Tuesday!
We’re looking for favorite tips and tools we can share with the community… those that help you do your job better and more easily. Please share your suggestions on the IT Pro Tuesday subreddit, and we’ll be featuring them in the coming weeks.
Now on to this week’s list!
A Free Tool
MTPuTTY is a small utility that lets you wrap an unlimited number of PuTTY applications in a single, tabbed interface. Lets you continue using your favorite SSH client—but without the trouble of having separate windows open for each instance. Flexdzl says, “It’s free, but awesome if you are in multiple switches.”
A Podcast
Veritasium features fascinating science and engineering videos of experiments, expert interviews, cool demos, and discussions on a wide variety of scientific topics. A favorite channel of Xzenor.
Another Free Tool
arp-scan is a network scanning tool that uses the ARP protocol to discover and fingerprint IPv4 hosts on the local network. It is available for Linux, BSD, macOS, and Solaris. Kindly suggested by CustomCubeIceMaker.
A Blog
Noted is loaded with articles related to Home Lab, Self Hosting, Security, as well as free and open-source software. Our thanks for directing us to this resource go to sassanix.
One More Free Tool
EVE-NG Community Edition is a clientless, multivendor network emulation solution that can be run in a completely isolated environment. onyx9 adds, “The limitations [of the community version vs. pro] are ok for me. The only thing you need to think about is the connections/cables, but you get used to doing that at the beginning of the lab when everything is still shutdown. Otherwise I have the client side pack for wireshark, which works great.”
P.S. Bonus Free Tools
Vscode Vim Academy is a game to help you learn and practice vim and vscode keys in an enjoyable way. Covers 2-5 vim keys per level, with level text and keys randomly generated per level. You race to complete 10 sets of tasks with as few keystrokes as possible. Appreciation for the recommendation goes to quackycoder.
Process Monitor shows real-time file system, registry, and process/thread activity for Windows. It combines the features of Filemon and Regmon with enhancements like rich and non-destructive filtering, comprehensive event properties such session IDs and user names, reliable process information, full thread stacks with integrated symbol support for each operation, and more. A favorite of mostlyIT.
