UNIVERSAL Technologies’ Chief Technology Officer's work with Open Source technologies has led to major contributions to the development of a Linux-based Network Security Toolkit. This toolkit is an example of how best-of-breed Open Source network security applications and wireless technologies can be used for the enterprise network computing environment. It is currently downloaded, deployed, and utilized by numerous IT security organizations throughout the world.

The main purpose in developing this toolkit was to provide network security administrators with a comprehensive set of Open Source network security tools. NST also is an excellent tool to assist with a variety of crash recovery troubleshooting situations.

The majority of tools published in the article "Top 100 Security Tools" by insecure.org are available in the toolkit. The NST allows our clients to transform an x86 systems (Pentium II and above) into a system designed for network traffic analysis, intrusion detection, network packet generation, wireless network monitoring, a virtual system service server, or a sophisticated network/host scanner without disturbing or modifying any underlying sub-system disk.
