Nift is graphical front-end for footprinting tools and methods already freely avaliable. It's purpose is to aid system administrators in securing their websites by allowing them to quickly check their network.
Here are some key features of "Nift":
Option to ignore hosts already found on the network when pingscanning (less garbage to be found in logs)
Optional Use of wingates whenever possible. (User provided and will also use wingates found withen the network)
Spoofed Decoys to throw off AIDS, also verifies decoy addy's provided are alive to avoid syn flooding the host. Will change ttl of the source I.P. when decoy's are used in case the host uses packet source accounting. (keeps your I.P. from being singled out)
Can either trust banners to determine possible exploits, or test the exploits. The first will be safer, but will likely generate many false positives.
What's New in This Release:
Removed Netcat support (no longer needed)
Added SOCK_STREAM client to do banner grabbing and Enumeration
Removed Queso OS Detection (nmap is more reliable and upto-date)
Basic service enumeration code added
More Data catches and colorized output fixes
Added Progress bar
disabled logging feature until 1.0 beta (need to re-design the GUI to fit it in)
Combined traceroute and ICMP Discovery scan types
Began work on Firewall ruleset detection code
