Welcome to the Network Security Toolkit (NST). This bootable ISO live DVD/USB Flash Drive (NST Live) is based on Fedora. The toolkit was designed to provide easy access to best-of-breed Open Source Network Security Applications and should run on most x86_64 systems.
The main intent of developing this toolkit was to provide the security professional and network administrator with a comprehensive set of Open Source Network Security Tools. The majority of tools published in the article: Top 125 Security Tools by INSECURE.ORG are available in the toolkit. An advanced Web User Interface (WUI) is provided for system/network administration, navigation, automation, network monitoring, host geolocation, network analysis and configuration of many network and security applications found within the NST distribution. In the virtual world, NST can be used as a network security analysis validation and monitoring tool on enterprise virtual servers hosting virtual machines.
Release Features: NST 30 SVN:11210
2019-Jul-16 We are pleased to announce the latest NST release: "NST 30 SVN:11210". This release is based on Fedora 30 using Linux Kernel: "kernel-5.1.17-300.fc30.x86_64". This release brings the NST distribution on par with Fedora 30. Here are some of the highlights and new tools added for this release: The NST WUI now supports geolocation of photos or videos that have embedded geotagged information. This provides the security professional with potential location and speed discovery when conducting a forensic analysis. The combination of using the ExifTool utility for metadata extraction with the NST Mapping Tools provides this geolocation capability. The NST WUI Directory Browser page has been enhanced to facilitate the entry point for photo and video geolocation. At first, if many images appear to overlap at the same location on the Google Map, a thumbnail representation will be presented. One can then zoom in to provide better image location separation to reveal individual photo or video detail. If a video image can be geolocated (e.g., One generated by a Garmin Dash Cam 55), one can view and control the video with a new NST Map Data Layer Editor tool. This tool has many features including video frame segment location identification, speed colorization, measurement tools and video jump to control. The nstnetcfg utility has been completely refactored to work with the Network Manager service. Support for adding IPv4 / IPv6 secondary addressing has been included. Added a new NST WUI page to find all domains hosted on a web server. This makes use of the Reverse IP Domain Check tool provided at the you get signal website. Added a new NST WUI page for the presentation of the ExifTool HtmlDump utility for exploring embedded Exchangeable Image File (Exif) format data found within an image. Now building a GeoLite2 Country CSV (WhoIs) dataset for global host geolocation simulation. Many NST WUI bug fixes were completed and enhancements were added including and new NST Shell Administration console menu. As always, the networking and security applications included have been updated to their latest version which can be found in the manifest.
