Softerra's LDAP browser is Windows-only. The Apache Directory Studio is cross-platform, and phpLDAPadmin runs on a web server and thus is available from any browser.

3CDaemon is a small TFTP/FTP/Syslog server for windows. Pretty useful for quickly setting up an FTP server on your laptop or to transfer files to/from devices using TFTP.

AD Explorer. One of those little tools from sysinternals, pretty useful to look up the full DN of users or groups in Active Directory for your copy/pasting pleasure.

And of course we have wireshark/ethereal to read packet captures and VIM to edit text files.

Some of many windows utilities that I use:

wget win32: http://users.ugent.be/~bpuype/wget/ I like to add a file association with a custom open action that runs wget like this:

C:\path\to\wget.exe -nd -nH -c -i "%1" | pause


Then when you have a lot to download you can create a .wget file and winhose will know what to do when you double click or 'run" the file from a script.

NcFTP: http://www.ncftp.com/ncftp/ Great commandline ftp client suite. Great for scripting (ncftpput/ncftpget)

TFTPD32: http://tftpd32.jounin.net/ This little beauty is about the nicest tiny tftp server I've come accross. Also has tftp client, sntp server, syslog server, and dhcp server. All services can be enabled/disabled as you need.

Dig: http://www.isc.org/sw/bind/ Better than nslookup. Download the whole bind nameserver package and then copy the following files out to somewhere on your path:

dig.exe
bindevt.dll
libbind9.dll
libdns.dll
libeay32.dll
libisc.dll
libisccc.dll
libisccfg.dll
liblwres.dll

Common usage:
dig [@some.nameserver.ipaddy] [host.]example.com [mx | any | a | etc...]

The @xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx argument causes dig to query that specific nameserver

For benchmark testing, I rely on a couple of tools:

Postal is excellent at SMTP load generation
http://www.coker.com.au/postal/

SLAMD does SMTP but is a bit weak at it. It does a great job of generating load for other protocols, like LDAP.

The newer AsyncOS versions for the ESA appliance has message tracking if you're trying to locate particular messages. Also, on the Support Portal, there is a tool called "spamtowho" that will analyze the "mail_logs" and provide useful information with respect to spam traffic.

What in particular where you trying to extract from the mail_logs?
