5 Best Free and Open Source CNC Software - LinuxLinks
A CNC machine processes a piece of material (metal, plastic, wood, ceramic, or composite) to meet specifications by following coded programmed instructions and without a manual operator directly controlling the machining operation.
In modern CNC systems, the design of a mechanical part and its manufacturing program are highly automated. The part’s mechanical dimensions are defined using CAD software and then translated into manufacturing directives by computer-aided manufacturing (CAM) software.

5 Best Free and Open Source Passive OS Fingerprinting Tools - LinuxLinks
Passive OS Fingerprinting is a more stealth, but far slower process and usually less accurate than a targeted active fingerprinting session.
This type of software is often used for a variety of activities including, but not limited to, reconnaissance during penetration tests, routine network monitoring, detection of unauthorized network interconnects in corporate environments, providing signals for abuse-prevention tools, and miscellaneous forensics.
Here’s our verdict captured in a legendary LinuxLinks chart. Only free and open source software is included.
