Tools of the Trade - Get'em Updated

1) Several security issues were found with current stable release of Ethereal (0.10.14). As of right now, it would seem only the development release of 0.99.0 is clear of these issues.

2) For all you people that need to test IPv6, try out the new THC IPv6 Attack Suite. I haven't tried it yet however.

3) Sensepost has updated Wikto to 1.63.1-2279. Wikto is basically the Windows port of Nikto, plus a forced browser, Google Hacker and more. HTTPrint and HTTrack both work in conjunction with this program as well.

4) On 4/19, Cain & Abel v2.8.9 was released. Added support for Winpcap v3.2

5) On 4/13, the stable branch of Kismet was updated to 2006-04-R1. Remember all new development is in the "Newcore" branch, so most of the changes in stable are just fixes and some new chipset support.

6) This isn't really new, but it is pretty cool. PHP.Hop created by the PHP Honeypot Project (PDF).

7) Winamp isn't a security tool, but I use it and I figure alot of people that stream radio do as well. So make sure you grab the new Winamp 5.21.

8) This is pretty cool as well. I have been hearing stuff about using a RTOS or a Linux OS that runs in parellel with your Windows OS to help fight rootkits, but it seems that this takes that and puts it on a PCI processor. It is Gamma from Komoku - DARPA funded startup.

Next out this eWeek article on the product.
