'''Network Security Toolkit''' (NST) is a [[Linux]]-based Live [[DVD]]/[[USB flash drive|USB Flash Drive]] that provides a set of [[free and open-source]] [[computer security]] and [[computer network|networking]] tools to perform routine security and networking diagnostic and monitoring tasks. The distribution can be used as a network security analysis, validation and monitoring tool on servers hosting [[Virtual machine|virtual machines]]. The majority of tools published in the article "Top 125 security tools" by [[Insecure.org]] are available in the toolkit. NST has package management capabilities similar to [[Fedora (operating system)|Fedora]] and maintains its own repository of additional packages.<br />
<br />
== Features ==<br />
Many tasks that can be performed within NST are available through a [[web interface]] called NST WUI.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Network Security Toolkit (NST 40) |url=https://www.networksecuritytoolkit.org/nst/index.html |access-date=2024-07-03 |website=www.networksecuritytoolkit.org}}</ref> Among the tools that can be used through this interface are [[nmap]] with the vizualization tool ZenMap, [[ntop]], a Network Interface Bandwidth Monitor, a Network Segment ARP Scanner, a session manager for [[VNC]], a [[minicom]]-based terminal server, [[RS-232|serial port]] monitoring, and [[Wi-Fi Protected Access|WPA]] [[Pre-shared key|PSK]] management.<br />
<br />
Other features include visualization of [[ntopng]], [[ntop]], [[wireshark]], [[traceroute]], [[NetFlow]] and [[Kismet (software)|kismet]] data by [[Geolocation|geolocating]] the host addresses, IPv4 Address conversation, [[traceroute]] data and [[wireless access point]]s and displaying them via [[Google Earth]] or a [[Mercator projection|Mercator World Map]] bit image, a browser-based packet capture and protocol analysis system capable of monitoring up to four [[network interface controller|network interfaces]] using [[Wireshark]], as well as a [[Snort (software)|Snort]]-based [[intrusion detection system]] with a "collector" backend that stores incidents in a [[MySQL]] database.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Snort (NST v1.2.1 and Above) |url=https://networksecuritytoolkit.org/nst/docs/user/ch03s05.html |access-date=2024-07-03 |website=networksecuritytoolkit.org}}</ref> For web developers, there is also a [[JavaScript]] console with a built-in [[object library]] with functions that aid the development of [[dynamic web page]]s.<br />
<br />
=== Host Geolocations ===<br />
The following example [[ntop]] host geolocation images were generated by NST.<br />
<br />
=== Network Monitors ===<br />

The following image depicts the ''interactive'' dynamic [[Scalable Vector Graphics|SVG]]/[[AJAX]] enabled Network Interface Bandwidth Monitor which is integrated into the NST WUI. Also shown is a '''Ruler Measurement''' tool overlay to perform time and bandwidth rate analysis.<br />
