| | |vulnerability assessment tool | |*NIX |security checks. It allows for reports to be generated in HTML, XML etc. If a |
| | | | | |host runs the same service twice or more, Nessus will test all of them. |
| | | | | |Nmap ("Network Mapper") is a free open source utility for network exploration |
|2 |NMap |Network Mapper |Yes |Windows |or security auditing. It was designed to rapidly scan large networks, although |
| | | | |*NIX |it works fine against single hosts. Nmap uses raw IP packets in novel ways to |
| | | | |Mac OS X |determine what hosts are available on the network, what services (application |
| | | | |more |name and version) those hosts are offering, what operating systems (and OS |
| | | | | |versions) they are running, what type of packet filters/firewalls are in use, |
| | | | | |and dozens of other characteristics. Nmap runs on most types of computers and |
| | | | | |both console and graphical versions are available. |
| | | | | | |
| | | | | |It allows to examine data from a live network or from a capture file on disk & |
|3 |Ethereal |Network Protocol Analyzer |Yes |Windows |can interactively browse the capture data, viewing summary for each packet. It |

|41 |Honeyd |Your own personal Honeynet. |Yes |Windows |configured to run arbitrary services, and their TCP personality can be adapted |
| | | | |Linux |so that they appear to be running certain versions of operating systems. Honeyd|

| | | | | |simulation. It is possible to ping the virtual machines, or to traceroute them.|
| | | | | |Any type of service on the virtual machine can be simulated according to a |
| | | | | |simple configuration file. It is also possible to proxy services to another |
| | | | | |machine rather than simulating them |
