Certainly Nessus should be covered, you could touch on NeWT. www.nessus.org http://www.tenablesecurity.com/ --------------------------------------------------------- I am helping teach a class to the ISSA of Northwest Ohio, here in Toledo. The next class will be the second part of a series on security tools. Last class we went over scanning tools such as nmap, NetStumbler, nikto, and a couple others. This next class will be focused on attack tools. We were planning on presenting Metasploit, EBCD for password changes, and a couple other tools. My question is - what (free) tools should we give a brief overview of? The class is technical, mostly comprised of IT directors and the like. Most are not dedicated security staffers, but rather have that as part of their job responsibility. We don't have to go in depth, but we are demonstrating on a network we have built for this purpose. Next month we will be doing remediation/protection tools. I was thinking about showing Snort, Tripwire, Microsoft Baseline Security Analyzer, and a couple others. Any ideas on that?
