Tools of the Trade - Now with Chlorine!!

Here are a couple of new tools. This isn't all of them, I am sure.

1) Nmap 4.10 was released on June 12th - see change log.

2) Nessus 3.0.3 has been released. Added support for Windows and Sun.

Nessus 3.0.3 Beta 6 for Windows has been released. Nessus 3 for Microsoft Windows is still considered by Tenable as beta software - it should work as expected, but it might also crash or produce incomplete reports.Therefore, your feedback is invaluable to us. If you have any comment or question about this beta, please send an email to windows@nessus.org.

3) As reported eariler, Ethereal has been renamed to Wireshark. Wireshark 0.99.1Pre1 has been released.

4) On May 22th, oxid.it released Cain & Abel v2.9.

4) On June 7th, Winamp v5.23 was released. Watch the options during install. Nullsoft has included some new security monitor or something...who knows. I just know I don't want it.

Most of the hardcore *nix heads have heard of Bastille-Linux before, I am sure. However, If you are new to the *nix world, you have to check it out. It is a OS hardening program for Linux, Unix and OS X.
