Neighbourhood watch schemes reduce crime by 25–75%. Combining social monitoring with the Net might similarly lower crime risks and
terrorism using information on the Net. "Techint"- intelligence
gathered using technical means is the new buzzword in circles where
reconnaissance is a crucial requirement.

Laurent Chouraki released an experimental extension for MediaWiki. This extension feeds fail2ban so you can block bruteforce attacks at the firewall level.

ModemScan is a GUI Microsoft Windows software program which facilitates the auditing and discovery of modems and FAX machines. This type of software is commonly referred to as a wardialer or war dialer. Wardialing (also known as telephone scanning or war dialing) is the practice of dialing all the phone numbers in a range in order to find those that will answer with modem or FAX tones.

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.

MacNikto, a free AppleScript GUI shell script wrapper built in Apple’s Xcode and Interface Builder. It provides a subset of the features available in Nikto, bundled into this installer package.

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.

sharK is an advanced reverse connecting, firewall bypassing remote administration tool written in VB6. With sharK you will be able to administrate every PC (using Windows OS) remotely.

SIGVI is an Open Source application, under GPL license.

Basically, SIGVI is an application to detect vulnerabilities on our network.

It is not magic (still ...), simply compares the vulnerabilities that it has received from the sources with the software that we have installed on our servers. Those vulnerabilities are stored into the database creating a vulnerability repository.

When finds a software version that is vulnerable, it creates an alert and send notifications to all the administrators of this server.
The SIGVI has been (and is being) developed at UPCnet, from Politechnical University of Catalonia (UPC), Spain.

SAINT is the Security Administrator’s Integrated Network Tool. It is used to non-intrusively detect security vulnerabilities on any remote target, including servers, workstations, networking devices, and other types of nodes. It will also gather information such as operating system types and open ports. The SAINT graphical user interface provides access to SAINT’s data management, scan configuration, scan scheduling, and data analysis capabilities through a web browser. Different aspects of the scan results are presented in hyperlinked HTML pages, and reports on complete scan results can be generated and saved

Aircrack is an 802.11 WEP and WPA-PSK keys cracking program that can recover keys once enough data packets have been captured. It implements the standard FMS attack along with some optimizations like KoreK attacks, thus making the attack much faster compared to other WEP cracking tools
