SAINT
SAINT is one of the top ten SANS certified security auditing tools. It is not to be confused with the free
network monitoring tool: NetSaint. Free trial versions of SAINT are available.

Honeyd
This is a useful tool that allows you to create complete virtual networks on a single computer. A bit like a
reverse Trojan horse, you create this appealing and less secure network behind your firewall, hoping that
the intruder will fall for this honey-pot rather than digging deeper and discovering your (much harder to get
into) real local network. It can be most educational to run such a honey-pot without a firewall – sometimes
it takes less than an hour before the first intruders find their way in and start wreaking (fortunately, only
virtual) havoc.
Suggested reading: Honeypots - Sticking It to Hackers, published in the reputable Network Magazine, or
the more specific article Bait and Switch with Honeyd which requires more background knowledge to
understand.
