Re: Vulnerability and Penetration testing software

["Wajahat" <wusmani () gmail com>]

The question you ask can have a lot of different answers. Actually, IMHO rating tools is not easy. A lot depends on 
what a person is more comfortable with, what OS is in question and what one is trying to achieve. There are a myraid of 
tools, each catering to a certain genre.
 
If you are unsure, I'd suggest checking www.remote-exploit.org if I remember correctly.

You will find an image of the Auditor Live CD, it would be great if you have that with you all the time.

The site also has a list of tools that are part of the Live CD, hope you find it interesting.
