Using one of the free linux's (mandrake 9.1) with the distro comes nmap, and
nmapfe (nice gui) as well as tcpdump. Ethereal is in there, and you can easily
dload and install nessus. That is at least a beginning.
Google it for the recent fyodor's list of 75 tools, and that will begin to
give you a basis of what is available, what platform, and how much $, if any.
I'm not linux ninja, but believe any of the above can be run on just about any
of the modern linuxes. mandrake seems to be the easiest, so we run that on the
laptop, dual-booted with M$ stuff. Makes for a decent portable setup.
cheers,
