Can't find this package. Do you mean airsnort?

Well, what about the knoppix-terminalserver that is already installed?

Ok.

Caution: write support isn't stable there either! Writing on NTFS

Non-free.

We already have nano, though.

Even providing scripts for downloading non-free stuff may be illegal

Sleuthkit removes tct. I hope this is OK.
