OpenVAS is a framework of several services and tools offering a comprehensive and powerful vulnerability scanning and vulnerability management solution. It is designed to search for networked devices and computers, discover accessible ports and services, and to test for vulnerabilities on any such ports; plugins allow for further expansion.

OpenVAS - Vulnerability Scanner and Manager

PyLoris is a scriptable tool for testing a server's vulnerability to connection exhaustion denial of service (DoS) attacks. PyLoris can utilize SOCKS proxies and SSL connections, and can target protocols such as HTTP, FTP, SMTP, IMAP, and Telnet.
 
Any service that places restrictions on the total number of simultaneous TCP connections has the potential for vulnerability to PyLoris. Additionally, services that handle connections in independent threads, services that poorly manage concurrent connections, and services that have high memory footprint per connection are prone to this form of vulnerability.

PyLoris - Vulnerability test for DOS attack

Tcpcrypt is a protocol that attempts to encrypt (almost) all of your network traffic. Unlike other security mechanisms, Tcpcrypt works out of the box: it requires no configuration, no changes to applications, and your network connections will continue to work even if the remote end does not support Tcpcrypt, in which case connections will gracefully fall back to standard clear-text TCP.
 
We might be already using SSL, HTTPS, VPN in our network. Those solutions are inadequate for ubiquitous encryption. For example, almost all solutions rely on a PKI to stop man-in-the-middle attacks, which for ubiquitous deployment would mean that all Internet users would have to get verified by a CA like Verisign and have to spend money to buy a certificate. Tcpcrypt abstracts away authentication, allowing any mechanism to be used, whether PKI, passwords, or something else. 
 
Tcpcrypt has very high performance (up to 25x faster than SSL), making it feasible for high volume servers to enable encryption on all connections.
