vnstat
The manual page and help for the vnstat Linux command. vnStat is a command-line network traffic monitoring tool. It keeps a log of the hourly, daily and monthly network traffic of the selected interface(s). Data traffic is not measured by capturing packets, but rather they are read from the proc(5) or sys file system, depending on availability, so vnStat can be used on most systems without root privileges.
The program consists of two parts. The vnstat command provides an interface for querying traffic data stored in network device-specific databases, while the vnstatd daemon is responsible for collecting and storing the data. Although the daemon process runs as a continuous service, it idles most of the time between data updates.

iptables-legacy / ip6tables-legacy
The manual page and help for the iptables-legacy / ip6tables-legacy Linux command. xtables-legacy is the original version of iptables that uses the old getsockopt/setsockopt based kernel interface. This kernel interface has some limitations, so iptables can also be used with the newer nf_tables-based API.
nc.openbsd (Netcat OpenBSD)
The manual page and help for the nc.openbsd Linux command. The nc (or netcat) utility can be used for almost anything, including things related to TCP, UDP, or UNIX-domain sockets. It can open TCP connections, send UDP packets, listen on any TCP and UDP ports, perform port scanning, and manage both IPv4 and IPv6 networks. Unlike telnet, nc scripts nicely and sends error messages correctly to stderr instead of stdout like telnet does.
