Netfilter.org
Netfilter and iptables are building blocks of a framework inside the Linux 2.4.x and 2.6.x kernel. This framework enables packet filtering, network addresss [and port] translation (NA[P]T) and other packet mangling. It is the re-designed and heavily improved successor of the previous Linux 2.2.x ipchains and Linux 2.0.x ipfwadm systems. Netfilter is a set of hooks inside the Linux kernel that allows kernel modules to register callback functions with the network stack. A registered callback function is then called back for every packet that traverses the respective hook within the network stack. IPtables is a generic table structure for the definition of rulesets. Each rule within an IP table consists out of a number of classifiers (iptables matches) and one connected action (iptables target). Netfilter, iptables and the connection tracking as well as the NAT subsystem together build the whole framework.

Network Analysis - Packet-Level.com
Packet-Level has an extensive list of Analysis and Troubleshooting products, references, port lists, analysis reports, packet filtering, and sniffer information.

Network Security Architectures
Cisco Press 2004 by Sean Convery.
The author's goal was to share his experiences he gained while working on SAFE and consulting with customers, in a way that allows the reader to design a security system suited to the specific needs of their organization. There is very little in the way of product specific or introductory information. Instead it focuses on policy considerations, design considerations, best practices, sample designs, and case studies. This is a valuable resource for any technical library. The book's online web links by chapter are a great source for any network security architecture research project.

Port Numbers - Firewall Forensics - Robert Graham
Firewall Forensics (What am I seeing?) This document explains what you see in firewall logs, especially what port numbers means. You can use this information to help figure out what hackers are up to. This document is intended for both security-experts maintaining corporate firewalls as well as home users of personal firewalls.

Port Numbers - IANA Site
Updated by IANA, a comprehensive list of port numbers divided into three ranges: Well Known from 0-1023, Registered from 1024-49151, and Dynamic or Private from 49152-65535.

Port Numbers - Internet Storm Center Port Reports
Shows current activity (from DShield) in a customizable format, official assignments, trojans and alternate uses, vulnerabilities associated with the port, and allows comments to be added by readers to quickly share new information.

Port Numbers - Neohapsis Site

Port Numbers - Network ICE
List of frequently seen TCP and UDP ports and what they mean. The goal of this port table is to point to further resources for more information.

Port Numbers - Trojan List by DosHelp
Intrusion and attack reporting center specific to trojan and remote access service ports. The following ports should be considered by routing teams/administration as hostile ports and either closed, filtered or monitored since they are mostly used for Trojan and intrusion programs.

Port Numbers - Trojan List by Dark-E

Port Numbers - Trojan List by SANS

Port Numbers - Trojan List by Simovits
The table shows examples of existing trojans and ports being used. The lower ports are often used by trojans that steals password and either mail the passwords to attackers or hide them in FTP-directories. The higher ports are often used by Remote Access trojans that can be reached over the network.

Port Numbers - Whitehats List
Welcome to the advanced reference archive of current heuristics for network intrusion detection systems! This comprehensive database of network attack "signature" information can dynamically create and export signature strings that are compatible with IDS software such as Snort, Dragon Sensor, DefenseWorx, Pakemon, or Shoki. Network and System administrators can use the arachNIDS signatures to detect attacks against their networks. Also, security professionals have often found arachNIDS useful in researching network vulnerabilities.

Subnet Mask Calculator
Cotse.com provides this great networking tool that also builds a table list of the subnets.

Subnet Online
They currently have 10 different kinds of network calculators, with each it's own purpose and look.
