Tools (10th Sept)

A weekly update on new and updated Information Security tools that I have come across or use. The tools are mainly those for PenTesting although other tools are sometimes included. As a bit of background into how I find these tools, I keep a close watch on twitter and other websites to find updates or new releases, I also search the projects on Source Forge. Some of the best sites I have found for details of new tools and releases are http://www.toolswatch.org/, http://tools.hackerjournals.com/ and will be adding to this list with time.

Update NOWASP (Mutillidae) v-2.3.5 : Web Pen-Test Practice Application

NOWASP (Mutillidae) is a free, open source web application provided to allow security enthusiast to pen-test a web application. NOWASP (Mutillidae) can be installed on Linux, Windows XP, and Windows 7 using XAMMP making it easy for users who do not want to administrate a webserver. It is already installed on Samurai WTF and Rapid7 Metasploitable-2.
