Portable PC Wizard Analyzes, Benchmarks, Slices, & Dices - Download Squad
We love kick-ass programs that run from our flash drives and don't take up a ton of space - especially when they come at us with a truckload of useful features.

USB Hacks: Endpoint Insecurity
In 2006 I spent a lot of time researching USB based malware, even wrote a few tools to show the need for network administrators to manage and control removable media devices that were being introduced in the companies and organizations.

However, if you are a security researcher and wish to download the tools posted in the Certified Ethical Hacker training guide for module 41 contact me and I can provide the tools to you. Here is a brief outline of a few of the tools:

Simple Port Forwarding
Inexperienced computer users are usually having troubles understanding the port forwarding concept. Most of them hear about port forwarding in gaming or P2P forums where this is usually discussed when troubleshooting connections. Simple Port Forwarding is a portable software that tries to lessen the knowledge that is needed to configure port forwarding in a computer network. Port Forwarding on the other hand is only a issue of the computers connect to a router that establishes the connection to the Internet.
