Netifera
I have to say I am really enjoying Netifera at the moment. Its a security tool that has most of what you need to do, like ports scan and look ups all in one tool. I think this is going to be one of those few times that someone decides to create a framework to base their tool in and it actually works. One of the reasons is that its plug-in based and it comes with a good range of them built in from day one.
Its written in Java and so I guess that means it is available on a wide range of platforms. They only list Linux and Mac at the moment but I don’t see why, given its Java based, it cant spread further.
Check it out for yourself – its available either with or without a bundled java environment – http://netifera.com
