I can't think of an all-in-one megatool that actually does *everything*. There's the usual suggestion of nessus. I suppose it really depends on what you're after; my lappy has at a minimum: * nmap * nessus * net-snmp * hping * snort * perl More than once having perl with lots of different modules has saved my butt; being able to quickly cook up a tool to automate something, or hack up a quick autorooter is very handy. Also, I keep meaning to try metasploit... You might want to go look at the ports trees for the various BSDs, specifically the "net" and "security" directories. All kinds of goodies there: port scanners, password crackers, sniffers, service scanners, vulnerability scanners, toolkits... The archives refer to a few knoppix based bootable cd toolkits: knoppix-std (http://www.knoppix-std.org/) whoppix (http://www.whoppix.org/) auditor security collection (http://www.remote-exploit.org/) CK On Mon, 3 Jan 2005 09:58:54 -0500, Greg Dreelin <gdreelin () edsicorp com> wrote:
Pen-Test Group, I have a question to present that is in need of a good answer. The question I have is "Is there any good programs for VAP testing routers, switches, and firewalls?" I know there is the Router Assessment Tool (RAT) for Cisco router and there is FTEST for firewalls, but are there any other programs that can be loaded on to a Laptop Toolkit that can do the testing? Looking for a all in one program if there is such a thing. If anyone has any good ideas please let me know. Thanks ahead. v/r Gregory (Greg) S.
