Hacker's best friends

[Jochen Wiedmann]

Hello,

I'd like to screen a foreign network for possible security problems.
(The admin knows. :-) Can anyone recommend books, tools, sources
or other things that help me? In particular I'd like to know how
to

        - screen ports
        - given a certain port number, find out what service it
          is running (besides consulting /etc/services, of course :-)
        - given a certain service,  find out about possible
          security holes of that service, at least by citing
          a CERT document or something similar
        - ideally try WinNuke, Teardrop, 64k-Ping or other well
          known security holes

Btw, there's a german CD called "hacker's best friends". Does anyone
know, if it's worth the money?


Thanks,

Jochen
