[New Torrent] Network Security Toolkit (NST) 40 13973 TAR GZ

[TheLinuxMan]

Welcome to the Network Security Toolkit (NST). This bootable ISO live 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.

We are pleased to announce the latest NST release: "NST 36 SVN:13232". This release is based on Fedora 36 using Linux Kernel: "kernel-5.18.10-200.fc36.x86_64". This release brings the NST distribution on par with Fedora 36.

This is mostly a maintenance release with improved NST WUI functionality. Below is a summary of the feature improvements included in this release:

Access to the Open Vulnerability Assessment Scanner (OpenVAS) and Greenbone Vulnerability Management (Greenbone GVM) has been refactored to run as a podman container providing the full-featured vulnerability scanner. See the graphic below: NST WUI page for the OpenVAS / GVM scanner.

Added a Round Trip Time (RTT) column to the NST WUI ARP Scan application. In addition, most options are now supported and better documentation has been provided. An article on NST WUI ARP Scan usage can be found here.

Now supporting underscore scoped DNS Node Leaf Attribute Names in the NST WUI dig application (e.g., _spf.google.com).

Added a NIC selection control to the embedded IPv4, IPv6 and Host Name widget.

The legacy NST WUI sidebar navigation menu has been retired.

As always, the networking and security applications included have been updated to their latest version which can be found in the manifest.
