I have read over the internet, books, pdf's and talk with a lot of people about security, hacking, cracking and pen-testing. Every time we always talk about the "Personal tool kit" that every one uses, may it be a complete or incomplete tool kit, the best or worst we all have some tools we like to use. Well I don't. I would'nt say I'm new to security but I can be so bold as to say, I'm good with theorical knowledge but pretty poor with practical ones. I want to start few pen-test on my own machine (to learn stuff up) at home and I'm not afraid of reading or learning things. But finding the right tool for the right job is for me the most difficult task in security. I see two approaches to my problem and I can explain them both with:" Give a man a fish; he is feeded for a day. Teach him how to fish, he is feed for life". I would like to know where I could find info & tip's on a Pen-tester tool box. And I do favor knowledge over script-kidding, Here the knowledge tool box I have: www.insecure.org http://www.securityfocus.com/ http://www.sans.org/ http://www.isecom.org/ http://www.networkintrusion.co.uk/hacking.htm http://www.iss.net/ http://www.defcon.org/ http://www.snort.org/ http://www.blackhat.com/ http://www.whitehatsec.com/ For the tool part, i know: Nessus Nmap Nc (netcat) Ethereal Hping2 Brutus Enum+ AccessDiver (got that one today from a previous email, really happy) Nbtscan I use a Windows based laptop and my most trusted Mandriva based laptop (linux) Any help would be greatly appreciated.
