Open Source Platform for Network Security Tools
By admin on Apr 7, 2009 in open source, security
Netifera is a new modular open source platform for creating network security tools. According to http://www.exposeyourselfusa.com/banners/miami-banners/, it provides many advantages for both security developers and researchers who want to implement new tools as well as the community of users of these tools.
Tools
- Full IPv6 support
- TCP and UDP network scanning
- Service detection
- Operating system identification
- Reverse DNS scanning
- DNS name brute forcing
- DNS zone transfer information gathering
- Geographical information about network addresses
- Authentication brute force attack (against HTTP authentication, FTP, IMAP, and POP3)
- Web crawler discovers web applications, collect email addresses and adds the web site structure to the data model
- Integrated terminal for connecting to and interacting with network services
Passive Tools
- Modular packet capture service
- Capture packets on multiple interfaces simultaneously
- Parse ‘pcap’ format capture files as input to sniffing modules
- HTTP traffic analysis
- DNS information gathering from captured responses
- Network stack fingerprinting
- Service detection from captured banners and protocol packets
- Client application detection
- Credential sniffing for many protocols
