Masscan
Mass IP port scanner
Masscan is an Internet-scale port scanner, able to scan the entire Internet in just 6 minutes or less. It's considered the fastest port scanner and is similar to the famous port scanner nmap, and like port scanners scanrand and unicornscan it uses asynchronous transmissions. However, it is more flexible when it comes to arbitrary port and address ranges. Masscan not only detects when ports are open, it can also check banners. And while it is useful for smaller, internal networks, it's designed with the entire internet in mind. Do take note however that Masscan uses its own custom TCP/IP stack, so anything other than a simple port scan could cause conflict with the local TCP/IP stack unless certain configurations are done. -

emp3r0r
Linux/Windows post-exploitation framework made by linux user
A post-exploitation framework for Linux/Windows. Initially, emp3r0r was developed as one of my weaponizing experiments. It was a learning process for me trying to implement common Linux adversary techniques and some of my original ideas. So, what makes emp3r0r different? First of all, it is the first C2 framework that targets Linux platform including the capability of using any other tools through it. Take a look at the features for more valid reasons to use it. -

DAR - Disk ARchive
For full, incremental, compressed and encrypted backups or archives
DAR is a command-line backup and archiving tool that uses selective compression (not compressing already compressed files), strong encryption, may split an archive in different files of given size and provides on-fly hashing, supports differential backup with or without binary delta, ftp and sftp protocols to remote cloud storage Archive internal's catalog, allows very quick restoration even a single file from a huge, eventually sliced, compressed, encrypted archive eventually located on a remote cloud storage, by only reading/fetching the necessary data to perform the operation. Dar saves *all* UNIX inode types, takes care of hard links, sparse files as well as Extended Attributes (MacOS X file forks, Linux ACL, SELinux tags, user attributes) and some Filesystem Specific Attributes (Linux ext2/3/4, Mac OS X HFS+) more details at: http://dar.linux.free.fr/doc/Features.html -

gopass
The slightly more awesome standard unix password manager for teams
gopass is a simple but powerful password manager for your terminal. Manage your credentials with ease. In a globally distributed team, on multiple devices or fully offline on an air-gapped machine. By default your credentials are encrypted with GPG and versioned in git. This can be customized easily. The primary interface is the command line, making it an excellent choice for CLI fans, CI/CD systems or anything you can hook it up with. Gopass can also integrate with your browser so you can largely avoid the command line - if you want. gopass can operate without any dependencies but most users will use it with gpg and git. An external editor is required to use gopass edit. The same user experience on Linux, MacOS, *BSD or Windows. Built from our experience working in distributed development teams. -
