Speaking of security tools (and pardon me for plugging my own site), I released a new site this morning at SecTools.Org. This covers the top 100 network security tools, as voted on by more than 3,000 Nmap users. ... I do these security tool surveys every 3 years, and find them quite valuable for learning about the new and interesting tools out there. Sometimes we get stuck in a rut of using just the tools we know well, without exploring other options.

I came across that article via LinuxSecurity.com's newsletter, and I fully agree with the author--the tools survey is extremely useful, even if it does include many that aren't relevant to me due to my choice of OS. I only wish there was a single-page version of the survey (or, if there is one, that it was more prominently linked). ;-)
