Please excuse me and point me in the right direction if this is not the best list (I suspect it isnt...) I currently run FreeBSD at home and on my personal system at work. The company I work for is developing a security hardware/software solution for windows and since I am the only person in the group with any type of *nix experiance they have asked me to do some penetration tests. They said I could use any OS I want for my platform (I am going to use FreeBSD because I am most familiar with it, linux is an option but I would rather stick with FreeBSD). They want me to get the the most commonly used scanners (I am currently useing SAINT and NMAP to test my persoanl LAN) and tools hackers use and test the devel systems for security. Now since I am not into the "hacking and cracking" scene I am kind of at a loss here. I have what I consider to be 2 good scanners, SAINT and NMAP but as to other "tools of the trade" I am at a bit of a loss. Where would I go from here ? Could you point me to a more realivant list at least? Again, I appologize if this is not the best forum for this question, I realise it is for FreeBSD related questions, but I really diden't know where else to turn.
