Static in the Ether

With the 16^th incarnation of Defcon having come and gone last week, a number of people have put together a nice list of the various tools released. The ZDnet’s Rob Fuller has done all the hard work of tracking down the various tools and their websites in his article -  entitled “ DEFCON 16: List of tools and stuff released
“seems to be the most definitive.  Another (updated) list is on Rob’s personal site in which he includes some other items like Packet-O-Matic, PE-Scambler andVMware Pen-Testing Framework, alng with a link to the ISO.

Of all the tools release its DAVIX, that makes me happiest, other than it being a relaly slick Compilation of VizSec tools, it also features InetVis, which is a part of the postgraduate research by one of my students (Jean-Pierre van Riel), which I previously posted about.

iKat is the other tool that tickles my fancy.

There are some interesting setf odf Defcon Photos floating around such as these by sits, who has also made available a zip of the of the Defcon 16 CD contents.An 732MB ISO  version is also available that at least has checksums.

I see some fun times ahead!
