Most tools are available for Mac OS X as well since it is similar to
BSD. The main suspects all run without any issues that I know of.

There's probably no reason Windows or Mac versions couldn't
be written, except that nobody has done it (well) yet.

Most of the Security personel use Linux, in fact their
laptops have a Linux partition for this purpose (even
Microsoft guys do this, I have seen couple of them).
But I have always wanted to know why linux is prefered?

I am a graduate student at George Mason University
obtaining my MS in
Information Security and Assurance. What operating system
is used more
for security administration in the private sector versus the
government sector?
Pretty much I would like to know what operating system I
should focus
on if I wanted to pursue a government career in security or if I
wanted to purse a career in the private sector. Thanks.
