C++, Qt5, libpcap, AF_XDP
it just does the job! great support from the creator as well.
As a novice to networking protocol, I was able to understand the protocols much better with the help of Ostinato Traffic generator. With wide options to explore and support to use the same thing with python helped me and my team in understanding & testing of different protocols. Especially response from Srivats for the queries helped me step custom streams for my application.
I used Ostinato a couple years back at a different company and loved it then. Now, at a new company, purchased a new license for it and am still impressed. Super user friendly and intuitive, the creator reaches out after you buy and offers awesome support/tutorial videos.
Network engineers, this is the app to test storm control, packet rate limits, and any other feature you need to test. Also replay wireshark packet captures. So awesome.

> I don't know a single techie person who uses Windows (other than for gaming) I'd say that Windows actually has some nice software, like MobaXTerm: https://mobaxterm.mobatek.net/ which in my eyes is better than Remmina or pretty much anything I've found on nix, short of just running the same thing on Wine. WinSCP is also pretty cool, albeit nothing particularly special: https://winscp.net/eng/index.php PowerToys... - Source: Hacker News / 1 day ago
For working with remote machines that I need to ssh into I've found mobaXTerm[1] to be a very useful terminal emulator. It has an optional remote monitoring feature that shows the usual stats as a small bar under the active terminal window. It's a windows only application though.

There are various SSH clients available for Windows (PuTTY, Solar-PuTTY, MobaXterm, Termius, etc) but if you use Windows versions older than 10, the installation of PuTTY is suggested. Source: 5 months ago
Everything - find files by name fast (using the ntfs journal, so strange this is not in windows itself) SpaceMonger old free version - show visually what takes the most space on the HD MobaXterm not outdated - the best SSH terminal. Source: 8 months ago
