Para compensar la prolongada ausencia y conmemorar que llegamos a los 200 posts, decidí postear algo groso, algo que venía prometiendo hace rato y que por fiaca de ponerme a editar, no publiqué antes: el listado de aplicaciones de seguridad.
Este listado es el resultado de 4 años de recopilación, trabajando en seguridad, y a ojo contiene más de 150 herramientas! Ahora que dejé la seguridad un poco de lado para concentrarme más en redes y comunicaciones, creo que es un buen momento para publicarlo.
Todas las herramientas están con sus respectivos links oficiales y una breve descripción.
Antes de pasar al listado, les dejo algunas aclaraciones:
- Hay muchas herramientas que nunca utilicé. Armé el listado a partir de leer muchos artículos y descripciones de programas, e incluí todos los que me parecían útiles para distintas tareas.
- Emiliano (quien publicó varios artículos en este blog) colaboró en su momento con varias entradas de la lista. Ahora Emi administra su propio blog denominado linuxito.com.ar
- Agrupé las herramientas en base a distintos criterios. Varias encajan en más de un criterio, pero obviamente no iba a repetirlas en cada uno, así que están en el que me parece las describe mejor.
- El orden en que se encuentran las herramientas no tienen ningún significado, se fueron agregando aleatoriamente. Si bien traté de dejar las más importantes en los primeros lugares, pueden aparecer en cualquier posición.
- Como el listado se empezó a armar hace 4 años, puede que algunos links estén rotos, o que la herramienta no tenga más soporte.
- Hay varias herramientas que no se vinculan directamente a seguridad, pero sirven para realizar tests de seguridad.
- La gran mayoría de las aplicaciones listadas son libres y para GNU/Linux, pero hay algunas que son cerradas y pagas, y algunas que funcionan sólo en Windows.
- El listado no es completo y existen muchas y muy importantes herramientas que no se encuentran en él.
