Network Security Toolkit

Network Security Toolkit Description

Network Security Toolkit is an open source Linux operating system designed with network security in mind. It can be used for network security monitoring and analysis.Based on the Fedora Core Linux distribution, Network Security Toolkit or NST can be used to easily transform an old computer into an efficient system for network traffic analysis, wireless network monitoring, network packet generation, and intrusion detection.Linux experts can also use it to build a complex network and host scanner, or a virtual system service server. Network Security Toolkit is distributed as a single Live DVD ISO image. It supports only the 32-bit architecture.The operating system provides users with easy access to the best open source network security applications. It features multi-tap network packet capture, web-based network security tools management, host/IPv4 address geolocation, network and system monitoring, network intrusion detection, multi-port terminal server.In addition, VNC session management, network interface bandwidth monitor, active connections monitor, network segment ARP scanner, and network packet capture CloudShark upload support is also provided in this distribution.The boot menu offers many choices, from running the graphical or text-mode live environment and rescue mode, to the ability to test your computer’s RAM or boot the operating system that is already installed on the disk drive.The graphical environment is powered by the lightweight MATE desktop environment, which loads quite fast in this Live media. MATE is a fork of the now deprecated GNOME 2 desktop environment.Besides the standard applications like Mozilla Firefox and Midori web browsers, FileZilla and gFTP FTP clients, Claws Mail and Evolution email clients, the Network Security Toolkit operating system includes a wide range of network-related apps.These include Wireshark, Airsnort, Angry IP Scanner, Creepy, Driftnet, EtherApe, Ettercap, Net Activity Viewer, Netwag, NetworkMiner, Ostinato, packETH, PDD, TcpTrack, TCPcTract, TigerVNC Viewer, w3af, and WiFi Radar to name a few.All in all, Network Security Toolkit is the perfect tool for network security specialists and enthusiasts alike. However, we don’t recommended it for the regular desktop user. What's New in This Release: [ read full changelog ]Added a new drag zoom feature to the"NST Ntopng IPv4 Hosts"application. Ntopng is a network traffic probe used for high-speed web-based traffic analysis and flow collection. This drag zoom feature implements a traditional method for zooming in on a particular area of interest on Google Maps by positioning and sizing a zoom rectangle with the mouse. One can easily use this feature to zoom into an area of clustered Ntopng IPv4 Hosts for further investigation which is depicted in this Annotated Image.Integration of the"Mate Desktop"and the"LightDM GTK Desktop"login screen greeter are now the preferred defaults for NST.Added a new NST WUI page for the network utility script:"getipaddr".Added a new"Network Interface Renaming"mode to the NST script:"nstnetcfg"that creates Predictable Network Interface Names which will survive each system reboot. This capability is beneficial to an NST system equipped with multiple Network Interface adapters.Integration of"IPv4 Alias Address... �.You can free download Network Security Toolkit from Softpedia now.
