I can't think of an all-in-one megatool that actually does
*everything*. There's the usual suggestion of nessus. I suppose it
really depends on what you're after; my lappy has at a minimum:
* nmap
* nessus
* net-snmp
* hping
* snort
* perl

More than once having perl with lots of different modules has saved my
butt; being able to quickly cook up a tool to automate something, or
hack up a quick autorooter is very handy. Also, I keep meaning to try
metasploit...

You might want to go look at the ports trees for the various BSDs,
specifically the "net" and "security" directories. All kinds of
goodies there: port scanners, password crackers, sniffers, service
scanners, vulnerability scanners, toolkits...

The archives refer to a few knoppix based bootable cd toolkits:
knoppix-std (http://www.knoppix-std.org/)
whoppix (http://www.whoppix.org/)
auditor security collection (http://www.remote-exploit.org/)

Pen-Test Group,

     I have a question to present that is in need of a good answer.  The
question I have is "Is there any good programs for VAP testing routers,
switches, and firewalls?"  I know there is the Router Assessment Tool (RAT)
for Cisco router and there is FTEST for firewalls, but are there any other
programs that can be loaded on to a Laptop Toolkit that can do the testing?
Looking for a all in one program if there is such a thing.  If anyone has
any good ideas please let me know.  Thanks ahead.
