My slightly irregular 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 for pen testing and security 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
SSH Communications Security, the inventor of the Secure Shell and SFTP protocols, today announced the launch of SSH Risk Assessor (SRA), a free tool that provides users with a clear report on risk and compliance exposures in SSH environments. SRA will be available in May 2013, you can request it http://www.ssh.com/index.php/products/ssh-risk-assessor.html (registration required).
Nessus 5.2

Nessus 5.2 offers the ability to store attachments in the scan reports. Scan results now contain, among other things, remote screenshots via Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) and VNC, as well as “pictures” of scanned websites.
The new attachments feature provides easy access to supporting information for vulnerability investigation and documentation, as well as offers other interesting information.
