3rd Party Tools

Met44

What are some of the 3rd party tools (for both hackers and admins) I would benefit from knowing about in regards to security?

I've worked or played with:

Sam Spade (online whois lookup)
Nmap/Zenmap (vulnerability scanner)
Ethereal/Wireshark (packet sniffer)
Snort (packet sniffer)
NTFSUndelete and Restorer2000 (file recovery)
Various free/commercial AV software

and have a basic understanding of:

Netcat (vulnerability scanner)
Nessus (vulnerability scanner)
aircrack (wireless decrypter)


Any other third party programs that would be good to have an understanding of?

dynamik

Even if you don't go for the certification, running through some CEH resources will definitely give you more exposure to this type of thing: http://techexams.net/forums/viewtopic.php?t=29896
