Network Security Toolkit (NST 36)



Welcome to the Network Security Toolkit (NST). This bootable ISO live USB Flash
Drive (NST Live) is based on Fedora. The toolkit was designed to provide easy
access to best-of-breed Open Source Network Security Applications and should run
on most x86_64 systems.

The main intent of developing this toolkit was to provide the security
professional and network administrator with a comprehensive set of Open Source
Network Security Tools. The majority of tools published in the article: Top 125
Security Tools by INSECURE.ORG are available in the toolkit. An advanced Web
User Interface (WUI) is provided for system/network administration, navigation,
automation, network monitoring, host geolocation, network analysis and
configuration of many network and security applications found within the NST
distribution. In the virtual world, NST can be used as a network security
analysis validation and monitoring tool on enterprise virtual servers hosting
virtual machines.




Release Features: NST 36 SVN:13232

2022-Jul-11We are pleased to announce the latest NST release: "NST 36
SVN:13232". This release is based on Fedora 36 using Linux Kernel:
"kernel-5.18.10-200.fc36.x86_64". This release brings the NST distribution on
par with Fedora 36.

This is mostly a maintenance release with improved NST WUI functionality. Below
is a summary of the feature improvements included in this release:
 * Access to the Open Vulnerability Assessment Scanner (OpenVAS) and Greenbone
   Vulnerability Management (Greenbone GVM) has been refactored to run as a
   podman container providing the full-featured vulnerability scanner. See the
   graphic below: NST WUI page for the OpenVAS / GVM scanner.
 * Added a Round Trip Time (RTT) column to the NST WUI ARP Scan application. In
   addition, most options are now supported and better documentation has been
   provided. An article on NST WUI ARP Scan usage can be found here.
 * Now supporting underscore scoped DNS Node Leaf Attribute Names in the NST WUI
   dig application (e.g., _spf.google.com).
 * Added a NIC selection control to the embedded IPv4, IPv6 and Host Name
   widget.
 * The legacy NST WUI sidebar navigation menu has been retired.
 * As always, the networking and security applications included have been
   updated to their latest version which can be found in the manifest.
 * For more details related to the code changes for this release, refer to the
   "Change Log" page or review the change log for an individual RPM package.

   rebooted from the NST WUI.

   page.
