Via disLEXia I found a link to the website of fe3d. Its a visualisation tool for search results based on nmap's port scans.

It should comile under Linux, IRIX, MacOS X and *shit*^WWIN32.
It doesn't only creates a 3d map of networks and their hosts, you are also able to change viewpoints.
It's definetly a nice toy but it could be also good for presentations and general visualisation of network infastructures.

Here is a little screenshot:

Today I got a Lex Light CV860A for free by my company because at the moment they don't pay me for the internship and obviously they like me.
and once I told them that this just rocks as I saw it here as a router/firewall system.
I am very proud of this system.



Specification:
Size: 4.2cm x 22cm x 16.5cm H,B,T
Front Panel: Power Switch, HDD/ Network/ Power LED, 1 x USB, Audio Speaker/ Microphone-in.
Back Panel: PS/2 for Keyboard/Mouse, 2 x USB 1.1, 2 x Serial, 1 x Parallel, 3 x Realteck J-45, VGA Connector
(yes, three network interfaces!!!!)
AC: 60 W external ACDC (like used for notebooks)
Memory: 1 x Compact Flash Socket, 1 x DOC Disk on Chip, 1 x 40 pin DOM, 1 x 44 pin DOM, 1 x 2.5" HDD
Mainboard: VIA Samuel 2 mainboard
CPU: 533 Mhz (CentaurHauls), 256 RAM

I got it together with a 40 GB 2.5" HDD
The best thing is that it is as small as a book and produces absolutly no noise (assumed you have a quiet HDD) because it has no radiator.
I installed Debian GNU/Linux and it works like a charme.
I think I will use it as a server in the future, maybe for mldonkey or something like this as soon as I got my own
DSL flat. If I have the time I will for sure test the grml-terminalserver via PXE of the grml project.
