For a Windows system I would certainly include Cygwin and selected
utilities - eg. Perl is a must. There's also a Windows port of dig
knocking around which is handy. Cain & Abel is nice in some
ircumstances... there's a Windows port of the Nessus /server/ but
it's commercial only. (Incidentally - how does that work when
Nessus is GPL'd?)... metasploit runs under Cygwin too.

Check the insecure.org tools list for other suggestions.

Finally a selection of 'exploits du jour' is handy but of course
these change relatively quickly.

cheers
