Mmmm maybe is just the right moment to develop a new tool (is a hole
to be full filled)

Well i post the story on /. before i read your answer. (i assumed that
you are expecting being slashdotted) If don't... be ready :)

Here it is (maybe it will be rejected still pending) It has a LOT of
links, but i don't include it here.

"2006 and the Nmap Network Security Tool survey is here again, Fyodor
the author of Nmap, runs this survey to know which security tools are
the most populars. This year there is a whole site for the results,
with category-specific pages, 100 tools, ranking information, and
more. Is an excellent place for both newbies who doesn't know where to
start and security experts.
> From The Article: After the tremendously successful 2000 and 2003
security tools surveys, Insecure.Org is delighted to release this 2006
survey.
It is also interesting to see the rise of exploitation frameworks.
Metasploit, Impact, and Canvas all made the list for the first time.
Wireless tools such as Kismet and Aircrack (new) had a good showing,
while many vulnerability scanners dropped significantly in rank."
