Security Toolbox
The Security Toolbox consists of freeware tools which are related to Windows security. Some of them directly improve security. Some of them indirectly improve security, either by allowing the user to test the security to find the holes, or by illustrating some important point to educate the user about security. Everything here is written by people of ntsecurity.nu, with the author(s) noted at each tool below. The tools are not based on anybody elses source code, and we will not give away the code or give explainations of how the tools are built, so please don't send any mails asking for either. Also note that using some of these tools against systems without permission from the owner(s) may be illegal in your country.
