This is really a great list of tools to fill the gaps, even I haven’t played with a fair few in this list, glad I found it while trawling through the old posts. One of my favourites that was recently ported to Linux is AngryIP scanner, it can scan a whole /24 in about a minute through its multi-threaded approach.

Excellent list of tools, NMAP definitely deserves to be number 1.

I think Zad MoFo is making fun of the recent ‘me’s too dumb ass to read howto’s and wants quick cracking skillz for yahoo/gmail/facebook/etc.’ postings. I must admit they are getting a tad annoying those ‘ I want to crack but without any effort spend’ calls for help.

@ZaD MoFo
This list is the of the “Top 15 Security/Hacking Tools & Utilities” . XP SP2 is an OS not a tool or utility for hacking(all be it the best Microsoft OS at the minute). XP SP2 provides only the environment in which a hacking/Security tool can run, as can any other OS.

So to answer your question “Do you think XP should have his entry in this “Top 15 Security/Hacking Tools & Utilities” ?”
For me, I say No, as you would have to include every other OS, which would take away from the main propose of the list.

Ok, I know… I am a bit « marginal » here but my preferred tool remains well … WIN XP SP2!

Think about that:
Plain cheap! Instead of this expensive hardware protocol analyzer, this digital scope or this data generator/logger… That piece of “MotherCode” allows me to run all the mentioned software plus a myriad of nevertless usefull apps.
Embeded in each WIN OS is this IExplorer - for free >;-) I am the doctor!
A few Gb of manuals and downloads. An exotic NIC. And I could list more of that stuff. Also, if you setup small home network like for Bob, Mary and Junior, sure you’ll find an XP around.

So now: Do you think XP should have his entry in this “Top 15 Security/Hacking Tools & Utilities” ?

@ James C
True Vista feels more like plastic surgery than a real improvement.
The adition of user account control sound great but tin the real world it’s turned off quick enough since nearly everyone expects to be the local superuser by default (partially a problem due to badly written 3rd party software not being able to function properly under UAC.
Hopefully the new Windows version will finale sport all the things Vista was supposed to have but ended up doing without (file system for instance)

I see no use for vista. Personally I consider it the new windows millennium edition the filling between XP and Windows 7 (aka Blackcomb, Vienna or whatever there calling it now). Just like millennium edition was the filling between win98SE and XP.
