Apps for Security Geeks

The proliferation of “Apps” is probably a good thing overal. One of my favorite Apps is “AroundMe”, which does what is says, finds stuf around me when I am out and about. But thats not the subject of this post.

Security apps for the mobile devices is starting to get more sophisiticated. There are a number of Apps available for the different platforms. Since I have an iPhone, I will just mention a few that have come across my path,

I will take the lazy way out and get you the brief description from ITunes of several Apps.

1) Portscan - Security Scanner By Tommy Kammerer
Description: Finally Portscan, the essential network utility is now available for the iPhone and iPod Touch. Portscan allows you to search a network host for open ports/running services. This app uses TCP connect() to scan, because everything else would require root privilege.

2) iPortScan Pro by Whiteside Solutions
Description: It does not feature any network discovery however this tool is useful for sysadmins checking what services are listening on a known system.

3) Nessus App for iPhone
Description: The Nessus App for iPhone is a great way to keep tabs on running Nessus scans, initiate new scans, and quickly review vulnerability scanning results. The app is available for free in the iTunes store and works with Nessus server versions 4.2 or later and the Nessus PerimeterService.

4) Net Pro by Mesh Software
Description: Net Pro is deigned to be the complete mobile solution for all your essential networking utilities.

5) IP Scanner by 10base-T interactive
Description: IP Scanner for iOS uses a suite of probes and scans to ascertain the identities of devices on yoru wireless network.

6) SNMPMon by TTrix Software Design
Description: SNMPmon allows you to monitor SNMP-capable devices. Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) is used in network management systems to monitor network-attached devices. SNMP is one of the most widely used, if not the most widely-used network management protocol. Several routers, WiFi access points, switches, printers, ip cameras, ip phones support SNMP. Computers running Windows, MacOSX, Aix, Solaris, HP-UX, Linux, VMware ESX also support SNMP but usually the service needs to be configured and enabled.

7) Snap by 9Bit Labs
Description: Do you ever wonder what else is on the network with your iPhone? Now you can easily find out with Snap! Snap quickly scans the network around your phone and discovers nearby servers, routers, even other iPhones! When Snap finds a device, it shows you the manufacturer of the device, any name information it could discover from the device, as well as the device’s MAC and IP addresses. For each device that Snap finds, you can also scan it for common services such as HTTP, remote login, AppleTalk, Microsoft networking, and many others. It even links directly to Safari for any HTTP services it finds, enabling you to easily explore devices on the network around you.

8. ) Wfi Network Scanner by Goonbee
Ever wondered who was using your home wifi network? Was maybe someone stealing it? Ever needed to know the IP address of a machine on it? Or perhaps the MAC address? Or maybe you were just curious whose computer in your house was swiched on? Perhaps you wanted to test the connection latency to each machine to diagnose network problems? Well wonder no more and get Wifi Scanner.

9) iNetwork Mapper By Foo-Bang Chan
Description: A simple yet comprehensive and sophisticated network security, administration and analysis tools that assist you (system or network administrator, security professional or security penetration tester and security passion engineer) in discovering,fingerprinting, analysing and assess systems surrounding your networks.

10) WPA Tester by Paolo Arduin
Description: WPA Tester is a useful application that allows you to test the security of your home Wi-Fi. If you left the default settings on your private line, WPA Tester will test the actual security, creating the possible default passwords. If your default password is one of those found by the application, you should get into the router settings and enter a personal password in order to prevent attackers can abuse your internet connection!

Of course there are many more out there. This initial list might be a bit to easy and simple, but… If you use Cyndia http://cydia.saurik.com/ and Jailbreak, you can get more complex tools. Some others you can look into include WLAN Audit, Wfi Analyzer, Pirni and iWep Pro. This is an interesting start to the toolkit.
