100 Open Source Replacements for Popular Security Tools
Download open source anti-virus software, firewalls, email gateways, penetration testing tools, security-focused Linux distributions and more.
The constant stream of news about the NSA and other government agencies spying on average citizens has more people than ever before concerned about privacy and security. While no one can guarantee you'll never be hacked, the open source community has a number of applications available that can help users protect their systems.
Whether you're worried about defending your home system from malware, safeguarding a corporate network from hackers or hiding your identity from a repressive government regime, open source tools are available to help. This month, we've put together a list of 100 such tools that can replace expensive closed source software. It includes a wide variety of free anti-virus, firewall, mail gateway, data loss prevention, penetration testing, encryption, content filtering and other applications that can replace expensive software.
As always, if you'd like to call attention to an open source security app that we missed in our list, feel free to make note in the comments section below.
