Hi,

   On a Windows base, you can try with GFI Languard: Network Security Scanner http://www.gfi.com, Very usefull tools to 
find Velnerabilities, network share, active policies, users, application and a lot of stuff. The only problem, it's not 
free, but you can have a test version.

Hi,
maybe it's a good idea to start with Backtrack Security CD(www.backtrack.org).
You can use  all useful UNIX/Linux based security tools without no pain to install.

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.
