This package provides proprietary kernel modules of the proprietary NVIDIA driver.

Xkbcommon is a library to handle keyboard descriptions, including loading them from disk, parsing them and handling their state. It is mainly meant for client toolkits, window systems, and other system applications; currently that includes Wayland, kmscon, GTK+, Qt, Clutter, and more. Despite the name, it is not currently used by anything X11 (yet).

libevdev is a wrapper library for evdev devices. it moves the common tasks when dealing with evdev devices into a library and provides a library interface to the callers, thus avoiding erroneous ioctls, etc.

The eventual goal is that libevdev wraps all ioctls available to evdev devices, thus making direct access unnecessary.

River separates Wayland composition from window-management policy. This package builds River with Xwayland support and requires a separate window manager implementing river-window-management-v1. It is used by the XMonad Wayland nested test and does not configure a system session.

Channel configures River input devices through the River input-management, libinput-configuration and XKB-configuration protocols. It reads profiles and matching rules from the River config.rh file, applying settings when devices appear or the configuration changes. It runs separately from the window manager and does not configure the system or start itself automatically.

Wayland-Protocols contains Wayland protocols that add functionality not available in the Wayland core protocol. Such protocols either add completely new functionality, or extend the functionality of some other protocol either in Wayland core, or some other protocol in wayland-protocols.

Xwayland is an X server for running X clients under Wayland.

wlr-randr is a utility to manage outputs of a Wayland compositor.

Swaybg is a wallpaper utility for Wayland compositors.

Swaylock is a screen locking utility for Wayland compositors.

Mako is a lightweight notification daemon for Wayland compositors that support the layer-shell protocol.

foot is a terminal emulator for systems using the Wayland display server. It is designed to be fast, lightweight, and independent of desktop environments. It can be used as a standalone terminal and also has a server/client mode.

fuzzel is a Wayland-native application launcher, similar to rofi's drun mode. It has Emacs key bindings and remembers frequently launched applications. The font and colors can be configured.

wlroots is a set of pluggable, composable, unopinionated modules for building a Wayland compositor.

Wayland is a project to define a protocol for a compositor to talk to its clients as well as a library implementation of the protocol. The compositor can be a standalone display server running on Linux kernel modesetting and evdev input devices, an X application, or a wayland client itself. The clients can be traditional applications, X servers (rootless or fullscreen) or other display servers.

Libinput is a library to handle input devices for display servers and other applications that need to directly deal with input devices.

MASSCAN is an asynchronous TCP port scanner. It can detect open ports, and also complete the TCP connection and interact with the remote application, collecting the information received.

This package provides a wireless network and device detector, sniffer, wardriving tool, and WIDS (wireless intrusion detection) framework. Kismet works with Wi-Fi interfaces, Bluetooth interfaces, some SDR (software defined radio) hardware like the RTLSDR, and other specialized capture hardware

mtr combines the functionality of the traceroute and ping programs in a single network diagnostic tool. mtr can use several network protocols to detect intermediate routers (or hops) between the local host and a user-specified destination. It then continually measures the response time and packet loss at each hop, and displays the results in real time.

Netdiscover is a network address discovery tool developed mainly for wireless networks without a DHCP server. It also works on hub/switched networks. It is based on ARP packets, it will send ARP requests and sniff for replies.

whois searches for an object in a WHOIS (RFC 3912) database. It is commonly used to look up the registered users or assignees of an Internet resource, such as a domain name, an IP address block, or an autonomous system. It can automatically select the appropriate server for most queries.

For historical reasons, this package also includes mkpasswd, which encrypts passwords using crypt(3) and is unrelated to the Expect command of the same name.

Binwalk is a tool for analyzing, reverse engineering, and extracting firmware images.

Rizin is a reverse engineering framework and a set of small command-line utilities, providing a complete binary analysis experience with features like disassembler, hexadecimal editor, emulation, binary inspection, debugger, and more.

Lynis is a security auditing tool. It performs an in-depth security scan and runs on the system itself. The primary goal is to test security defenses and provide tips for further system hardening. It will also scan for general system information, vulnerable software packages, and possible configuration issues.
