Nice list. Thanks for posting.

Two tools I didn't see on the list.

NetCat -- very useful for transferring information between any two networked computers. Also useful for demonstrating how a trojans work.

Ettercap -- Network monitoring tool. Graphically shows traffic on your network. (Works well as a vector for where you might want to do more analysis with something like Wireshark.)

Both of those tools have been standard on the versions of BackTrack that I've used. Though, you can also download and install them yourself.

Interested in hearing about other tools as well as other peoples experiences with the tools on the list.
