15 Essential Open Source Security Tools
1. Nmap - map your network and ports with the number one port scanning tool. Nmap now
features powerful NSE scripts that can detect vulnerabilities, misconfiguration and security
related information around network services.
2. OpenVAS - open source vulnerability scanning suite that grew from a fork of the Nessus
engine when it went commercial.
3. OSSEC - host based intrusion detection systemor HIDS, easy to setup and configure. OSSEC
has far reaching benefits for both security and operations staff.
4. Security Onion - a network security monitoring distribution. Detect everything from brute
force scanning kids to those nasty APT's.
5. Metasploit Framework - test all aspects of your security with an offensive focus. Primarily a
penetration testing tool, Metasploit has modules that not only include exploits but also
scanning and auditing.
6. OpenSSH - secure all your traffic between two points by tunnelling insecure protocols
through an SSH tunnel.
7. Wireshark - view traffic in as much detail as you want. Use Wireshark to follow network
streams and find problems.
8. Kali Linux Kali is a security testing Linux distribution. It comes prepackaged with hundreds of
powerful security testing tools.
9. Nikto - is great for firing at a web server to find known vulnerable scripts, configuration
mistakes and related security problems.
10. Truecrypt - encrypt all the things. As of 2014, the TrueCrypt product is no longer being
maintained. VeraCrypt was forked and has been through extensive security audits.
Website https://veracrypt.codeplex.com
11. Moloch is packet capture analysis, and has great support for protocol decoding and display
of captured data.
12. Bro IDS totes itself as more than an Intrusion Detection System, it decodes protocols and
looks for anomalies within the traffic.

4. 13. Snort is a real time traffic analysis and packet logging tool.
14. OSQuery monitors a host for changes and is built to be performant from the ground up.
15. GRR - Google Rapid Response a tool developed by Google for security incident response.
Open Source Tools for Developers and Network Admins:
Commit Watcher:Check code repos for secrets
SourceClearcame upwith CommitWatcher,a free opensource tool that looksforpotentiallyhazardous
commitsinpublicandprivate Git repositories.
Jak: Encrypt your secrets inGit
It’sDeveloper101 to keepsecretsoutof yourcode.Instead,youshouldkeeptheminaconfiguration

repository.Keystoconnecttoitemslike paymentsystems,emailers,andvirtual machines,whichhave
to be manuallyplaceddirectlyontoapplicationservers,mustbe managedcompletelyseparatelyfrom
the source code.This presentschallengeswhenthose keysneedtobe shared.
The Pythonproject Jak tacklesthisproblembylettingdeveloperscommitencryptedversionsof sensitive
filesintoGit.Insteadof .gitignore,developerslistsensitivefilesinajakfile,andwhenit’stime to
commit,Jakensuresthatonlythe encryptedversionsof the files windupinthe repository.Jaktakes
care of encryptinganddecryptingthe fileasnecessary,anditautomaticallygeneratesandupdatesthe
encryptionkeys.
Yara: Use pattern-matchingto find trouble
Malware researcherslike touse Yara, to identifyandclassifymaliciousfilesamples.Itcanalsobe useful
as part of incidentresponse andforensicsinvestigations.Youcreate rules—composedof textstrings,
hexadecimalvalues,orregularexpressions—andYaracrawlsthroughthe suspiciousdirectoriesandfiles
lookingforanymatches.
ProcFilter:Use pattern-matchingto stop trouble
ProcFilter,anopensource project, allowsyoutoapplyYara rulestorunningprocesses,aswell asblock
or log executables(andquarantine associatedfiles) basedonmatches.
ProcFilterrunsasa Windowsservice andintegrateswithMicrosoft’sEventTracingforWindows(ETW)
API,so itcan log itsactivitiesdirectlyintoWindowsEventLog.
OSquery: Querythe endpointfor systemstate
Locate maliciousprocesses,rogue plugins,orsoftware vulnerabilitiesinyourWindows,MacOS,and
Linux endpoints byusingaSQL query. OSquery,anopensource tool collectsoperatingsystem
informationsuchasrunningprocesses,loadedkernel modules,opennetworkconnections,browser
plugins,hardware events,andfilehashesintoarelational database.If youcanwrite a SQL query,that’s
all youneedto getanswersto securityquestions—nocomplex code required.

5. For example,the followingquerywouldfindall processeslisteningonnetworkports:
SELECT DISTINCTprocess.name,listening.port,listening.address,process.pidFROMprocessesAS
processJOIN listening_portsASlisteningON process.pid=listening.pid;
Thisquerywouldfindanomaliesinthe AddressResolutionProtocol (ARP) cache,whichcontains
