Re: 2006 Tool Survey Released - SecTools.Org

[KarMax <karmax () gmail com>]

Excellent work Fyodor.

Just a little recommendation, it will be good if when i go into a
category (i.e. Vulnerability Scanners[1] ) show both, the ranking on
this category and the position at the general tools ranking.

Is interesting the increase of wireless tools... and surprise me that
nessus keeps the first position, it deserves a place on the top 10,
but dont expect to see that tool in the nexts surveys.

And i like the idea of a whole site[2] for this, nice work.
