Re: Vulnerability/Penetration Testing Tools

You should check out the Metasploit Framework:

When I viewed the online demo of SAINT Exploit in December of 2005, nearly 
all of their exploit modules had names very similar to the ones found in 
version 2.5 of the Metasploit Framework. The demo has been updated since 
then and a handful of new exploits have been mixed in while others had 
their name changed. Oh, and their placement of a Google Adword on 
"metasploit" was a nice touch...
