This site allows open source and commercial tools on any platform, except those tools that we maintain (such as the <a href="http://nmap.org">Nmap Security Scanner</a>, <a href="http://nmap.org/ncat/">Ncat network connector</a>, and <a href="http://nmap.org/nping/">Nping packet manipulator</a>).</p> <p>We're very impressed by the collective smarts of the security community and we highly recommend reading the whole list and investigating any tools you are unfamiliar with. Click any tool name for more details on that particular application, including the chance to read (and write) reviews. Many site elements are explained by tool tips if you hover your mouse over them.
