Good tools that fit on a thumb drive [closed]

usb-flash-drive

I have been on the lookout lately for some good tools to fill up my flash drive and I thought I would ask the Server Fault community for recommendations on good tools that will fit onto a thumb drive.

Some I use are Driver Packs, CCleaner and the portable apps suite.

Solution 1:

These are the utilities I have on my drive:

CurrPorts displays the list of all currently opened TCP/IP and UDP ports on your local computer.
ftpserver3lite is an FTP server
ftpwanderer2 is an FTP client
ipnetinfo answers questions about an IP address: owner, country/state, range, contact info, etc.
miranda general messaging solution (supports most P2P messaging networks)
omziff encryption decryption tool.
FoxitReader wonderful alternative to adobe's PDF reader. light and fast and portable.
Qm (The Quick Mailer) if you just want to send an Email the old pasion way with no installation.
Restoration quick and basic undelete utility.
smsniff basic TCP sniffer.
torpark a Firefox-based browser for completely discrete browsing.
treepad just a nice utility to organize your data in, much like freemind and other mind maps.
cpicture a picture viewer
DriveMan for managing hard drives on the local computer.
FollowMeIPLite very much like www.whatismyip.com only much quicker.
hfs opens a small HTTP file server from desired folder, for instant file sharing.
angry ip scanner scans IP's
kill.exe - needs no introduction :)
putty a telnet utility every system administrator has got to be familiar with.
startup control panel, StartupList, regcleaner - really there are many registry cleaners/managers out there, lots of them fits nicely in a thumb-drive.
Revealer reveals passwords from password fields. It is very useful in many situations.
vncviewer client for the VNC remote desktop protocol
WinAudit audits a Windows machine. Lots of useful information.
xcopy.exe - it is still useful to have around.
TcpView shows all all TCP and UDP endpoints on your system.

Beyond Compare is fantastic, btw. Also, you might want to check out portable freeware.

Solution 2:

Beyond Compare, brilliant for checking for changes

Solution 3:

Most Previously SysInternals Tools

Also Kudos to Palmin for mentioning "Sysinternals Live", in the comments. (see live.sysinternals.com/About_This_Site.txt)

Solution 4:

In top of that, I strongly recommend to add TrueCrypt if you keep any personal or confidential data. Sometimes I need to put customer's database backups and I'd be in great trouble if someone gets access to them.
