Network Security Toolkit 20-6535 發布，開源網絡安全應用軟件

Network Security Toolkit（NST）是一張可引導的自啟動運行光盤，它基于Fedora Core。這份工具包被設計為能夠方便地使用最好的開源網絡安全應用軟件，并應能在大多數x86平臺上運行。開發該工具包的主要目的是向網絡安全管理員提 供一套較全面的開源網絡安全工具。我們發現NST非常有吸引力，因為我們可以用這份自啟動運行光盤將大多數x86系統（奔騰II或更高級的處理器）轉換為 一份特定設備，它可以執行網絡流量分析，入侵監測，網絡包注入，無線網絡監控，模擬系統服務，或是用作一臺精密的網絡/主機掃描器。

We are pleased to announce the latest NST release: "NST 20 SVN:6535". This is an interim release which includes all of the NST and Fedora 20 package updates since 2014-Feb-20 rolled into a fresh ISO image. This release is based on Fedora 20 using Linux Kernel: "3.18.5-101.fc20". If you are building your own NST YUM repository or have a subscription to the NST PRO YUM repository, you do not need this ISO image. You can simply yum update your NST system(s). A major effort was put forth in this release in the development of NST Mapping Tools to aid the end-user when working with geolocated network entities on Google Maps (See the NST Wiki article on: "NST Mapping Tools" for additional information). Here are some of the highlights for this release:

• Development of the NST Mapping Tools which includes the following overlays and widgets (The Image below depicts some of the mapping tools.):
  • The display of a dynamic Latitude/Longitude grid overlay on the Google Maps.
  • A widget for displaying one or more Distance Measurement Tool Rulers. Units can be displayed in Km, Mi, NM, px, coordinates and round-trip times (msecs).
  • A Distance Measurement Tool Ruler Editor is provided for manual ruler endpoint positioning with precision vernier controls.
  • An NST Ruler Tool widget for map and web page distance and area measurements.
  • A Drawing Manager widget for creating basic geometric shape overlays and markers.
  • A Drawing Manager Editor widget for overlay characteristic management and displaying distance and area calculations.
  • A Vertex Editor for precise Polyline and Polygon overlay shape creation and placement.
  • A grid of shape overlay positioning controls for geolocation network entity placement.
  • A Drawing Overlay Storage Manager for saving and restoring overlays on each NST integrated geolocation map.
  • A Map Label Editor widget for the creation and management of labeling network entities on NST maps.
  • Creation of Marker Overlay Waypoints for inventorying network entity geolocations.
  • Integration of Google Place Search for correlation with geolocated network entities.
• Ntopng geolocation integration with the Mercator Map and Google Earth.
• nstnetcfg enhancements including Network Bonding Management (See the NST article on: "Managing a 'Bonding' Network Interface").
• Creation of an Import/Export Management tool for saving and restoring NST specific configuration and settings between different NST systems. This tool can be advantageous when migrating to a new NST release.
• As always, the networking and security applications included have been updated to their latest version which can be found in the manifest.
