Sorry that I didn’t post an update in November, my travel schedule got a bit crazy and I didn’t have time gather new tools. Here is a list of the November and December updates for my bin toolkit:

Internet:

• Network Calculator - WildPackets’ subnet, hexpert and latency calculator.

Multimedia:

• ImgBurn 2.1.0.0 - CD/DVD burning tool - Now supports creating ISO’s from files on your hard disk, or burning them direct to a disc.

Security:

• NBTEnum 3.3 - Reed Arvin’s tool to enumerate NetBIOS information from Windows hosts as NULL or under the context of a specified user.

Utils:

• 7-Zip 4.42 - Compress and extract util, portable version - I added this only now because I needed a tool to browse and extract ISO files.
• Explore2fs 1.08beta9 - GUI explorer tool for accessing ext2 and ext3 filesystems.
• HT Editor 0.9.3 - Console mode hex editor - Yes, I know 0.9.4 is out, but there isn’t a Windows binary available yet.
• HxD 1.6.1.0 - Graphical hex editor.
• listdir - A small perl script I wrote that lists all directories within a path you define. This helps me index all the hard drives I have that are ‘offline’.
• Undelete Plus 2.3.0.0 - File undelete - Seems to have a better interface than Restoration, but we will see if it performs better. Anyone have experience with these tools? I havent used either of them yet, so I will keep both for now.

Utils / Sysinternals:

• Autoruns 8.54 - Display every program that starts on bootup
• DebugView 4.63 - Monitor debug output
• Process Explorer 10.21 - Task manager on crack
• Process Monitor 1.0 - System monitoring tool that replaces Regmon and Filemon. It also includes process, thread, and DLL monitoring as well as advanced filtering, event information, and basic data mining capabilities.
• PsTools 2.42 - Small suite of unix like command line utils. Now supports -accepteula on the command-line in order to avoid breaking non-interactive scenarios.
• Streams 1.53 - Find alternate data streams in files.

I also cleaned up the PStart menu. The main categories are the same, but now inside the Internet group, I have three subgroups called Client, Server, and Utils. I also created subgroups in the utils category for Undelete and System Information. There are now three utils under the System Information subgroup (aida32, CPU-Z, SIW) and I am wondering if I can remove one or two of them. Seeing that aida32 is a dead project since 2004, I might just keep CPU-Z and SIW.
