    Karl,

    Just a quick addition to your port scanner section:

    "If your machine is on a network and you wish to have more control over the
    scan, you may want to download port-scanning software such as Nmap NT from
    www.eeye.com/html/Research/Tools/nmapNT.html" - eEye's NmapNT is outdated.
    The code was incorporated to the official nmap distribution, available from
    here:

    http://www.insecure.org/nmap/nmap_download.html

    Another possible addition: you mention NIST standard for security testing:

    http://csrc.nist.gov/publications/drafts/security-testing.pdf

    You may wish to consider adding the Open Source Security Testing Methodology
    Manual and other great stuff available from ISECOM:

    regards

    Slavko
