Subject: 2006 Tool Survey Released - SecTools.Org
Hello Everyone,
I am pleased to release the results of the 2006 top security tools
survey. I found them quite interesting in 2000 and 2003, so I'm glad
that 3,243 of you answered this year. I learned about many neat
projects while tabulating and writing them up. It is also interesting
to see the rise of exploitation frameworks. Metasploit, Impact, and
Canvas all made the list for the first time. Wireless tools such as
Kismet and Aircrack (new) had a good showing, while many vulnerability
scanners dropped significantly in rank (ISS Scanner: -47;
Whisker/libwhisker: -60; Sara: -46; SAINT: -67; N-Stealth: -72). Nessus
kicked their butts, retaining the #1 spot despite closing their source
code as of the Nessus 3 release. But they better not get complacent,
because Nikto, Languard, and Retina aren't all that far behind. 44
tools are new to the list, including Paros Proxy, Scapy, the BackTrack
LiveCD, Webscarab, p0f, and Ike-scan.

Thanks for that.
