linux apps

[Kirk]

so im looking for some useful linux apps to help further my network hacking. I have so far:
sslstrip
nmap
aircrack-ng suite
ettercap (B_B, I got this to work in command line just fine)

any other apps you guys recommend?

[bad_brain]

great it works, and it's the best to use text mode anyway...

before you get into external apps, have you got familiar with the on-board networking tools?
- netstat
- iptables

if you are used to netstat on Windows systems you will be surprised how powerful the Linux version is! it is also a must imo to get familiar with the iptables firewall, it teaches you a lot about general networking like the protocols.

for external apps I recommend to have a look at:
- hping3
- netcat
- p0f
- paros

Check out Wireshark (nice GUI for network sniffing) etherape (nice network traffic visualizer) and ronin.

Great list b_b, I was trying to think of another app that I use but you covered just about all of them that I use on a semi-regular basis, add wireshark and scapy and you have plenty of network diagnostic power.
