Author: Mongrel, Posted: Tue Mar 23, 2004 1:14 am Post subject: Top 50 Infosec Tools ---- This list comliments of my friendly neighborhood InfoSec guru. Lots of
these are on Knoppix.
Know these and you're pretty much good to go.
Oh - and if anything is missing please add to the list.
Note that many of the descriptions in this list were taken from the Debian
package descriptions, the Freshmeat descriptions, or from the home
pages of the application.
Without further ado, here is the list (starting with the most popular):

Which is nice, because you can just use STD instead of each package one by one. Nice post, and good descriptions even if you didn't write them.

Decent article at http://www.securityfocus.com/infocus/1769 that mentions some of these tools.

Author: Mongrel, Posted: Tue Mar 23, 2004 2:36 pm Post subject: ---- nmap is there - just missing a title/detailed description. Do a text search
on this page for nmap - you'll find it. As we all know no list woule be
complete without it.
*EDIT_MONGREL*
I stand corrected - nmap is not, unto itself here.
It's Strobe that's listed. Strobe is linked to nmap's site.
I'd think i t should be here - thanks for mentioning it.

Author: Zapotek, Location: HellasPosted: Tue Jan 03, 2006 12:18 am Post subject: ---- Nice post.
I'd rather use Auditor though.
It seems that it has way more tools, and since I've tested it I'd go with it.

Author: Grimm, Posted: Wed Oct 24, 2007 5:35 pm Post subject: ---- The link for Ethereal probably needs to be updated. It became "Wireshark" in 2006.
Author: Gillis57, Location: Mobile, AlabamaPosted: Mon May 26, 2008 6:45 am Post subject: Metasploit. ---- The program Metasploit is probably the most comprehensive, single most useful tool of all the programs I own.
It contains zenmap, as well as hundreds and hundreds of exploits.
Hope this Helps
