Tools, Tools, and TOOLS!!
- Abstract
- Have you ever said to yourself, "There are just so many tools, and it's hard to keep track of all of them and know what each one does?" Well I do all the time, that's why I decided to write this quick reference on popular tools (It's impossible to cover all tools, but I will try to cover as much as possible), with a brief explanation on how they work, and where to get them. I am going to cover tools for both Linux and Windows platforms, those tools will consist of (IDSes, Firewalls, Exploits, Scanners, Reconnaissance, Password crackers, Auditing, etc). But before I start I would like to talk in general about a successful attack and some of the tools involved.
