darknet.org.uk — A good summary with a description and links of some of the top tools in the Hacking/Security arena. For old hands it will be a familiar list but most people will find a thing or two they didn't know about.

Yah I would agree, but those are much harder to use than anything listed here, these are all pretty straight forwards apart from perhaps yersinia and hping.I agree on TCPdump tho and I do like ettercap rather than dsniff, but both are good, dsniff especially so for MITM.TCPdump is good for learning the raw output, but its a pain to reassable TCP streams and so on (using tcpflow etc), much easier in Ethereal.I'll do something more focused on packet level utilities later.

Out of curiosity, how many times are you planning to post about this here?

SATAN is still useful, and it is still gets updates. Besides some of the tools on that site are almost as old.

As a network admin these tools can come in handy. Especially for password auditing. Sure I could use them for malicious reasons, but I have better things to do with my time....Like read various Digg articles. heh
