Class on Security Tools

Subject: Class on Security Tools
Date: Tue, 14 Dec 2004 13:48:31 -0500
I am helping teach a class to the ISSA of Northwest Ohio, here in
Toledo. The next class will be the second part of a series on security
tools. Last class we went over scanning tools such as nmap, NetStumbler,
nikto, and a couple others.

This next class will be focused on attack tools. We were planning on
presenting Metasploit, EBCD for password changes, and a couple other
tools. My question is - what (free) tools should we give a brief
overview of? The class is technical, mostly comprised of IT directors
and the like. Most are not dedicated security staffers, but rather have
that as part of their job responsibility. We don't have to go in depth,
but we are demonstrating on a network we have built for this purpose.

Next month we will be doing remediation/protection tools. I was thinking
about showing Snort, Tripwire, Microsoft Baseline Security Analyzer, and
a couple others. Any ideas on that?

Thanks in advance,
Joe Traband
