    I would say the top 5 for myself are definately:

    1: nmap ( the obvious )
    2: hping ( packet munipulation ++ )
    3: tcpdump ( great ASCII dump mode. )
    4: ngrep ( search regex in packet sniff. )
    5: ettercap ( I use this instead of "hunt" now for simplicity and just
    works well. )
