I haven't played with the pen test tools lately (since 4 years). The most familiar tools are Nessus/nmap/strobe (from freeware world) and ISS/Cybercop and others from the (commercial world).
Recently, I have heard of metasploitz (sp). Is this a compilation of all the exploits?
A lot has changed in the last 2 years! I am trying to update my pen test skills. What are the current tools that I should be familiar with?
Thank you in advance for any information and advice.

These should have many of the tools that you will need to get started.
