    Try NTOP for your NIC stuff

    http://www.ntop.org/overview.html

    As for the core impact nessus, Metasploit are the prime ones.

    Hello and good day,

    I am looking for a freely available tool/package, doesn't have to be
    anything special, that will give me relatively real-time network
    statistics regarding the NIC on my Solaris 8 box. Mainly I am looking
    for packets transmitted, packets lost, bytes transmitted, collisions
    on the interface, and possibly who is causing it (find the
    bottleneck/troublemaker). So far I have been using a combination of
    Ethereal/Ettercap/Etherape to perform this task, but I was wondering
    if anybody could point me in a better direction.

    Also, I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions on the
    optimal/minimal freeware toolset/configuration to try and achieve as
    much of Core Impact's functionality as possible. So far, I have been
    using Metasploit, Nessus, and NMap. Any suggestions?

    Thank you very much for your time. Any help is always appreciated.
    Have a great day!

    Best regards,
    Jason
