Tools of the Trade - Update

1) Nmap 4.03 is out - I have been very impressed with all the changes made since 3.99. Great stuff, keep them coming.

They have also released a Windows setup bundle. It takes care of the Winpcap install, the registry changes and everything for you. Sig DB has increased as well. Go get it.

2) THC has updated Hydra to 5.3 - They added a HTTP form module and NTLM support for pop3, imap, smtp-auth and http-proxy. Very cool.

Brutus has a pretty advanced form module that learns the parameters from the page itself, but it lacks a directory input field for HTTP auth attacks - which is a very nice feature of Hydra.

3) Ethereal 0.99.0 was released out of development. Too many fixes to count. Check out the changelog.
