+      netsniff-ng is a free Linux networking toolkit. Its gain of performance
+      is reached by zero-copy mechanisms, so that on packet reception and
+      transmission the kernel does not need to copy packets from kernel space
+      to user space and vice versa. The toolkit can be used for network
+      development and analysis, debugging, auditing or network reconnaissance.
