Nessus - Open Source Vulnerability Scanner
Nessus is a free, powerful remote security scanner for Linux, BSD, Solaris,
and other Unices. It is plug-in-based: each security test is written as an
external plugin using NASL (Nessus Attack Scripting Language) or C.
Nassus is client-server (server scanner, client frontend), has a GTK interface,
can test unlimited amount of hosts, doing thorough service recognition,
and performs over 1600 remote security checks, with an daily updated
security vulnerability database.
It allows complete and exportable reports (HTML, XML, LaTeX, ASCII),
and suggests solutions for security problems.

Snort - Open Source Network Intrusion Detection System
Snort is a lightweight network intrusion detection system (IDS), capable of
performing real-time traffic analysis and packet logging on IP networks.
Open source software, by Marty Roesch.
Snort can perform protocol analysis, content searching/matching and can be
used to detect a variety of attacks and probes, such as buffer overflows,
stealth port scans, CGI attacks, SMB probes, OS fingerprinting attempts, and much more.
Snort uses a flexible rules language (for traffic collect), a detection engine
with modular plugin architecture, and real-time alerting capability mechanisms.
Snort has three primary uses: It can be used as a straight packet sniffer
(like tcpdump), a packet logger (useful for network traffic debugging, etc),
or as a full blown network intrusion detection system.
Snort should work any place libpcap does, and is known to have been compiled
successfully on the following platforms: Linux, BSD, Solaris, SunOS, HP-UX,
AIX, IRIX, Tru64, MacOS X Server, Win32 (9x/NT/2000/XP).
-
Analysis Console for Intrusion Databases (ACID)
ACID is a PHP-based analysis engine to search and process a database of
incidents generated by security-related software such as IDSes
and firewalls (e.g. Snort, ipchains, iptables).
By Carnegie Mellon CERT.
-
SnortCenter
Snort IDS Rule & Sensor Management.
SnortCenter is a web-based client-server management system
written in PHP and Perl. It will help you to configure Snort and
keep the signatures up-to-date. The Management Console will
build the configuration files for you and then send it to the
remote sensor.
-
IDS Policy Manager
IDS Policy Manager for Windows 2000/XP is a powerful way to
modify the Snort configuration and rule files.

Ethereal Network Analyzer
"Sniffing the glue that holds the Internet together".
Ethereal is a free network protocol analyzer for Unix and Windows.
It allows you to examine data from a live network or from a capture
file on disk. You can interactively browse the capture data,
viewing summary and detail information for each packet.
Etheral sources and binaries
for Windows, Linux, SunOS/Solaris and other Unix available for download.

- Nmap
Nmap ("Network Mapper") is an open source utility for
network exploration or security auditing. It is a stealth network port scanner
for Linux/Windows/UNIX/Solaris, designed to rapidly scan large networks,
although it works fine against single hosts. Nmap is
free software distributed under the terms of GNU GPL license.
By Insecure.Org
(also Nmap.org).
- NMapWin
NMapWin is a native Windows front-end for nmap.
NMapWin includes a front-end as well as a service start up; this distribution
also contains Win32 version of wpcap.dll, packet.dll and Packet.sys.
The native Win32 service starts nmap as backround process, with configurable
time intervals and output redirected to a log file.

policies, services, service packs and hotfixes, NetBIOS shares, transports,
sessions, disks, security event log, and time of day in either an NT Domain
or Active Directory environment. Winfingerprint-cli is a command line version
of winfingerprint and it is currently bundled with each release.
