My Top 10 UNIX Security Tools

Security is an important part of an administrator’s job. All the presented tools are very handy for every system or network administration and I think that you should add them to your arsenal of tools.

When checking the security of a machine or a network, I suggest that you start with nmap and never forget that those tools are also available to hackers.

• Nmap
• WireShark
• Nessus Security Scanner
• My Firewall
• tcpdump
• SQLMap
• Aircrack-ng
• telnet
• Log files
• A Password Cracker
