Top 75 Security Tools

I usually don't bother posting things on here that have been on Slashdot, but this is a pretty nice list.

While I don't claim to have ever written anything as useful as the tools on this list, this seems like a good place to mention my own Win32::NBTStat module. That module represents the open-sourcing of a Perl script that I've had to re-write every time I changed jobs since like 1997. Pretty much the only thing it adds to basic nbtstat is the "FormatTable" method, which produces something like this (notice the last two columns, which are not normally provided by nbtstat):

Name <XX> Type Service Meaning
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
EXAMPLESERVER <1F> UNIQUE NetDDE Service
EXAMPLESERVER <00> UNIQUE Workstation Service computername
DEMO <00> GROUP Domain Name domain
EXAMPLESERVER <03> UNIQUE Messenger Service computername
