How To Install nanomsg-utils on Kali Linux
Introduction
In this tutorial we learn how to install nanomsg-utils on Kali Linux.
What is nanomsg-utils
nanomsg-utils is:
nanomsg is a socket library that provides several common communication patterns. It aims to make the networking layer fast, scalable, and easy to use. Implemented in C, it works on a wide range of operating systems with no further dependencies.
The communication patterns, also called “scalability protocols”, are basic blocks for building distributed systems. By combining them you can create a vast array of distributed applications. The following scalability protocols are currently available:
PAIR - simple one-to-one communication
BUS - simple many-to-many communication
REQREP - allows one to build clusters of stateless services
to process user requests
PUBSUB - distributes messages to large sets of interested subscribers
PIPELINE - aggregates messages from multiple sources and
load balances them among many destinations
SURVEY - allows one to query state of multiple applications in a single go
This package contains utilities for testing nanomsg.
