Other Pen. Testing Tools

[ivanho]

I was wondering if there are any good tools that I might want to get for pen testing, so my question is...

Are there any notable tools that any of you use for pen testing other than the tools found in BT? If so what are they.

I like Nessus better than nmap.

The more apropriate thing to do is figure out what you are trying to do and then you can decide if further tools are needed. there are tons of specialty items and code for specific applications. besides not having nessus backtrack is pretty much complete. I've added some tools for development and some intrusion detection tools. you should not need anything else.

It really depends what you're testing. There are endless numbers of tools, web sites, etc out there that can help you. Knowing when/where to use what tool/resource is part of the experience you gain as you go. I come across new things all the time and think "oh damn I so coulda used that on project xyz 3 weeks ago" and it gets bookmarked or added to my toolkit.

I agree that it all depends on the situation that your testing. As far as scanning i really like nmap, and there are so many great tools that have their uses.

and if you are a little coder like me you can script your own tools and guis for make things easier.....
