This document shows sample usages of netwag.

Several sessions/lessons will be presented. They assume user closes and reopen netwag each time. This is not necessary, but s/he migth have clicked somewhere and caused a state change. So, if results are not expected, close netwag and restart a lesson.

Netwag is graphical tool, but it is described here as text only because I cannot afford spending time to create screenshots.


Lesson 1 : navigate in the GUI



Lesson 2 : dynamic help

Summary : just put the mouse on top of an item to obtain help.

Lesson 3 : clipboards

Summary : those clipboards can save data you want

Lesson 4 : local configuration

Summary : Local_info notebook permits to obtain information about local computer

Lesson 5 : remote configuration

Summary : Remote_info notebook permits to obtain information about a remote computer

Lesson 6 : need to select a tool

Summary : to use Help and Form sub-notebooks, a tool must be selected.

Lesson 7 : select a tool (sorted by number)

Summary : to use Help and Form sub-notebooks, a tool must be selected.

Lesson 8 : select a tool (sorted by tree)



Lesson 9 : search a tool

Summary : if you do not see all tools, it might be because search is activated

Lesson 10 : run a tool (from Help)



Lesson 11 : run a tool (from History)



Lesson 12 : run a tool (from Form)



Lesson 13 : all about History sub-notebook



Lesson 14 : all about Help sub-notebook

Well, it's almost the same as lesson 12. It should not be too difficult. The main idea to remember is the help is about the last tool selected in Search notebook.

Lesson 15 : all about Form sub-notebook

As for lesson 14, the form is about the last tool selected in Search notebook. Now, a quick explanation about this form.
First parameter (-d for --device) is a listbox. You can select the device you want (Lo0, Eth0, etc.). The checkbox on left indicates if parameter -d has to be generated.
Second parameter (-f or --filter) is a string. You can enter the text you want (host 1.2.3.4). The checkbox on left indicates if parameter -f has to be generated.
Third parameter (-r or --rawip) is a boolean. You can check or not the checkbox. The checkbox on left indicates if parameter -r has to be generated.
Let's restart :
Now a quick usage of other buttons :

Lesson 16 : interacting with a tool (open a New Window)

We suppose 1.2.3.4 has a listening FTP server.

Lesson 17 : interacting with a tool (in netwag)

When you want to interact with a tool, it's easier to follow lesson 16. It can also be done in netwag, but it's more complicated. Button Pause permits to pause display, and button Interrupt to interrupt a running tool. The checkbox before Send indicates if data has to be echoed in blue (uncheck to enter a password for example).

Lesson 18 : font



Lesson 19 : sessions

When netwag is closed, it saves a session file : window's size, clipboard, font, etc.

Lesson 20 : dynamic help

In lesson 2, dynamic help was presented. It can be desactivated. Well, I suggest you to leave it for the first days.

Conclusion

Have fun :)
