Network Security Application of the Year
What's your favorite network-based security tool?

Untangle is also a good choice to be there. Has got a lot of options. Agree some of them are available on paid version but then still its open source.
|
At some point it's gonna be hard to compare some of these tools due to differences in service they provide , for example snort & nmap, and then fwBuilder. All I'm saying that network security is wide range and it should be divided on sub polls.
fail2ban can be useful too. |
I agree that this is one of the more unwieldy categories. Next year it's likely that the "Live Distribution" poll will be removed, in favor of a "Security Distribution" poll, which should help this category quite a bit.

Again, so many good ones to choose from, nmap, snort, clamav, tcpdump, are ones I use daily. But lately I've really been using tcpdump a lot and have been pleased with how much useful data you can collect to help trouble shoot network security with.

i'd suggest replacing nessus with openvas. after nessus went closed source, openvas picked up the last opensourced version and continued from there.

OpenVAS has been added.

i use tcpdump and wireshark frequently

I use WireShark, but many others serve good purposes as well.

Another vote for fail2ban here.
Best thing I have found so far to block out brute force type attacks on my vsftp and tomcat webservers. My logs will be much shorter now... |
Wireshark does fine.

What about:

For those who are interested, here are the freshmeat links for this poll:

archtoad6, we'll consider those for next year.
