2.What it Does:

In this paper I will evaluate some the security tools. Among my work in this area, I found the best site that lists the security tools is http://sectools.org/. Most important vulnerabilities in Windows and Linux can be found in www.sans.org/top20/. There is a good course that covers most of the hacking and security issues, the Certified Ethical Hacking course.

The paper covers the installation and configuration of the following security tools:

LANguard

Nessus

Snort

BASE

Rman

OSSEC

Sguil
