Updated Security Tools

There’s been a few notable releases of some security tools recently - I’ll reference packet storm’s site.

  • Nipper - nipper is a Network Infrastructure Configuration Parser. nipper takes a network infrastructure device configuration, processes the file and details security-related issues. (This sounds very similar to a tool I’m working on - I’ll have to check it out in more detail soon!
  • Scapy 1.1.1 - Scapy’s an awesome tool that I’ve used in the past for messing with packets.
  • Bluediving 0.7 - Bluetooth Penetration Testing Suite…time to fire up my linux box!
  • Cutter - An oldie, but a goodie…something I came across via another (really) old blog entry, but very useful - allows you to kill specific connections on your linux firewall box

On that last note, I’ve come across a lot of really good security blogs lately. I’ll post them here at some point, but you can also just check out my blogroll and look under the Security folder.

I’ve been putting together a decent and (hopefully) manageable list of security-related feeds that I am going to make available as well. I’d be interested to see if you have some good ones that I don’t.
