I thought it was great. Maybe I haven't heard of these tools before. Reading about them doesn't mean I know how to use them or have a thorough understanding of security, but it's a good place to start googling and learn more.

nmap is a fairly common used tool for more than testing. So is dig netstat sockstat nc tcpdump qmail djbdns pf s(sh|cp) traceroute also read your security and tuning man pages as a great place to start.
