Category Information Gathering

The Paglo Crawler is an open source supersearcher — an agent that probes your network for devices and other IT assets, and discovers everything about them. The Crawler is part of Paglo, the first search engine for IT, a tool that specializes in searching the complex and varied data of IT networks, and in returning intelligent data in both simple text and rich quantitative form. The data that the Crawler finds is visible through a secure Paglo Web account, which is also open source. A single Paglo Crawler can be installed to probe an entire enterprise network.

VisualRoute analyzes your Internet connection to determine precisely where and how data traffic is flowing, identifying where any bottlenecks occur. A trace report details the performance of each portion of the connection route, including any dropped data packets and network latency, along with the IP address, node name and network provider.

Maltego can be used for the information gathering phase of penetration testing making it possible for less experienced testers to work faster and more accurately.
Maltego has fantastic applications in forensic investigations, law enforcement, intelligence operations, identity fraud investigation and identity verification processes

ExploitSearch uses Google engine to search for vulnerabilities from the quality sources on the net.
It grabs only useful information related to the exploit-query. This webbased utility is very handy to find out some old exploits.

Nmap ("Network Mapper") is a free open source utility for network exploration or security auditing. It was designed to rapidly scan large networks, although it works fine against single hosts. Nmap uses raw IP packets in novel ways to determine what hosts are available on the network, what services (application name and version) those hosts are offering, what operating systems (and OS versions) they are running, what type of packet filters/firewalls are in use, and dozens of other characteristics. Nmap runs on most types of computers and both console and graphical versions are available. Nmap is free and open source (license).

WifiZoo is a tool to gather wifi information passively

SEAT (Search Engine Assessment Tool) is the next generation information digging application geared toward the needs of security professionals. SEAT uses information stored in search engine databases, cache repositories, and other public resources to scan a site for potential vulnerabilities
