  1. Fyodor's nmap is a great tool by SecureTheNet · · Score: 5, Insightful

    for network assesment. It's the best free tool out there, and IMHO better than the commercial apps as well.

    Of course the book has absolutely nothing to do with why he gave the interview.

    Not that there's anything wrong with pushing a book you've written, but it being mentioned is hardly a surprise.
