System Security Tools

Network security monitoring tools


These tools are used to analyze network data and detect
network-based threats. Examples of tools include Argus, Nagios,
Pof, Splunk, and OSSEC

Encryption tools
Encryption protects data by scrambling text so that it is unreadable
to unauthorized users. Examples of tools include Tor, KeePass,
VeraCrypt, NordLocker, AxCrypt, and TrueCrypt.

Web vulnerability scanning tools


These software programs scan web applications to identify security
vulnerabilities including cross-site scripting, SQL injection, and
path traversal. Examples of tools include Burp Suite, Nikto, Paros
Proxy, and SQLMap.
System Security Tools
Penetration testing
Penetration testing, also known as “pen test”, simulates an attack on
a computer system in order to evaluate the security of that
system. Examples of penetration testing tools include Metasploit,
Kali Linux, Netsparker, and Wireshark.
Antivirus software
This software is designed to find viruses and other harmful malware,
including ransomware, worms, spyware, adware, and Trojans.
Examples of tools include Norton 360, Bitdefender Antivirus,
Norton AntiVirus, Kapersky Anti-Virus, and McAfee Total
Protection.
Network intrusion detection
An Intrusion Detection System (IDS) monitors network and system
traffic for unusual or suspicious activity and notifies the
administrator if a potential threat is detected. Examples of tools
include Snort, Security Onion, SolarWinds Security Event
Manager, Kismet, and Zeek.
System Security Tools
Packet sniffers
A packet sniffer, also called a packet analyzer, protocol analyzer or
network analyzer, is used to intercept, log, and analyze network
traffic and data. Examples of tools include Wireshark, Tcpdump,
and Windump.

Firewall tools
Top firewall security management suites include Tufin, AlgoSec,
FireMon, and RedSeal.
System Security Tools
Netstat

Execute the netstat command alone to show a


relatively simple list of all active TCP connections
which, for each one, will show the local IP
address (your computer), the foreign IP address (the
other computer or network device), along with their
respective port numbers, as well as the TCP state.
