"Sure,
you can go round up all these utilities separately, but The Network Toolkit contains
all the utilities under a simple menu-driven interface with parameters and help
information linked directly into the interface."

 Product
Description
A Portable Collection of Open Source, Security, and Network Tools
for Windows
Every system administrator finds themselves working at machines which don't have
tools like Wireshark (formerly Ethereal) installed. Rather than take the time to
download Wireshark, and the supporting libraries like WinPcap, administrators can
now take their tools with them and run them directly from a USB drive or a CDROM
drive. After a program like Nmap is closed, no trace is left on the host system.
With more than 50 system, networking, and security tools, The Network Toolkit allows
administrators to have their tools and use them too.
See the List of Included
Tools.
The Network Toolkit comes in either a one-time download or a 12-month subscription
that provides regular updates. In either case you can download the toolkit and install
it on a USB or CDROM drive. The subscription service updates are an easy way to
get timely updates for both Open Source and other security tools like Wireshark
and Nmap.
A free trial version with only 7 tools is available. The tools are: Angry IP Scanner,
Dialupass, DriverView, ngrep, PuTTY, WinDump, and a DOS Command Prompt.
Benefits

Open Source Tools On Windows
Open Source security and network tools are the most powerful
in the world, but for many running Linux isn't practical. With The Network Toolkit,
Windows administrators have an easy method to take advantage of network tools like
Nmap and Wireshark. In addition to security and networking tools, The Network Toolkit
includes the Cygwin Shell environment, so administrators who are used to the Unix
shell environment will have one at whatever Windows system they find themselves.

Portable
No other product makes it so easy to carry your tools with you. Unlike other network
troubleshooting software, the traditional software installer process is not needed
because of unique technology in The Network Toolkit. While administrators could
go to the net and download an Open Source tool like Wireshark and all the necessary
libraries, with the Network Toolkit all the leg work is already done.

Regular Updates
The Network Toolkit is the only product that allows for easy and regular updates
to all the important Open Source networking and security tools on Windows. With
key Open Source developers on its staff, CACE Technologies is uniquely positioned
to know when there are significant defects or security issues. Customers of The
Network Toolkit can stay a step ahead of potential problems by purchasing the annual
subscription service.

No Trace Left
After running a tool from The Network Toolkit on a USB drive or CDROM, no trace
is left on the machine. All temporary files, Registry Keys, and other remnants are
removed. For forensic computer specialists this makes the toolkit particularly useful,
since they can leave the investigated machine in the same state as they found it.
With traditional Windows software installers, software has to be removed using the
Add/Remove Software tool in control panel. For software run from The Network Toolkit,
once the program is closed, all traces are gone from the system. |
