networkworld.com — I won't keep you in suspense. I'll go ahead and name them right here, at the top of my post -- the six free security tools that all IT folks should know about and use: MetaSploit, Splunk, Google (don't laugh -- it's true!), KeePass, Helix and Netwox. Now read on to learn why.

fnxy you moron, some of the security tools target/use Linux and MacOS.

Metasploit is really only needed/desired for those developing exploits, kind of pointless for securing your stuff or general IT use...matter of fact this list sucks in general. An on-the-fly better list for securing/monitoring your network/etc (and still free):1. nmap2. nessus3. snort4. tcpdump / ethereal5. iptables / pf6. grsecurity / other system hardening

oh my god, someone actually knows what they're talking about! good list, I concur. although I don't agree with downplaying the importance of metasploit as much as you do. as a system/network administrator concerned with security, you should be aware of what is available for metasploit and what it can do to your systems...

That's truth that the only one you need is a Common Sense. If you dont have it even 6 security tools wont save you. A user should just know the way he or she can be tricked and be aware."Types of computer and server attacks1. Phishing. It is quite broad definition. The main goal of phishing is to get information from a user (such as passwords, credit card number etc.) or money. This method is basically used for many users not only for one. For instance, quasi-tech support sends the same email messages to the known clients of a bank. Usually support service asks users to confirm their account passwords supposedly because of server maintenance.... <a class="user" href="http://spyoverview.com/articles9.php">http://spyoverview.com/articles9.php</a> "

It has a strange name, but MetaSploit is a very cool development platform that assists information security professionals in creating tools and exploits.<a class="user" href="http://www.pcard4u.com">http://www.pcard4u.com</a><a class="user" href="http://www.wmf2007.com/">http://www.wmf2007.com/</a><a class="user" href="http://blog.ashtech.info/2007/10/16/">http://blog.ashtech.info/2007/10/16/</a>
