RE: Tools to use for Penetration Testing?

["Shenk, Jerry A" <jshenk () decommunications com>]

Most tools from 2004 will still work...some links might be a problem but
the tools work.  Don't get too excited about a "wasting time" on old
tools.  There are still a LOT of old holes.  You need the new stuff too
but you'd better catch the old stuff.

Thanks for all the listings guys.

I will try them out. Also, I have been on sectools many times in the
past... but it truly is a very large list... and not all the tools are
still good (since 2004 or whenever it was last updated)

Please continue to recommend to me programs.

Thanks
