| Network Security Toolkit（NST）是一张可引导的自启动运行光盘，它基于Fedora
Core。这份工具包被设计为能够方便地使用最好的开源网络安全应用软件，并应能在大多数x86平台上运行。开发该工具包的主要目的是向网络安全管理员提
供一套较全面的开源网络安全工具。我们发现NST非常有吸引力，因为我们可以用这份自启动运行光盘将大多数x86系统（奔腾II或更高级的处理器）转换为
一份特定设备，它可以执行网络流量分析，入侵监测，网络包注入，无线网络监控，模拟系统服务，或是用作一台精密的网络/主机扫描器。 Network Security Toolkit NST is a Fedora-based live CD designed to provide easy access to open source network security applications. A new release, version 1.8.0, was announced yesterday: "We are pleased to announce the latest NST release: v1.8.0. This release is based on Fedora 8 using the Linux kernel 2.6.25.6. Here are some of the highlights of this release: transitioned from Fedora Core 5 to Fedora 8 as the underlying base of the NST; addition of wireless firmware packages to support several new wireless chipsets; most networking and security applications included have been updated to their latest version.
