Well I'm fairly new to the "scene", so I don't use many of the old school tools, but I am learning . A few of my choices were obvious picks (IDA, filemon ...etc). I haven't done much unpacking yet so that isn't on my list yet... I'm sure you guys have many more categories that I didn't think of.



Interested too see what other people like and use.
