Its very hard to maintain a serious tools section, but well take it into consideration.
I was about to suggest this. Now how about not a "tools" section but more of a "tools of the trade" section. Several hackers use various programs to accomplish their needs, some more popular then others. For example nMap, I doubt there's a hacker who doesn't use nMap (well I guess depending on the type of hacker) then there are an array of vulnerability scanners, fuzzers, etc. Then there are operating systems such as backtrack with a bunch of tools, however not everyone knows how to utilize the host of tools it has. Of course the section would need to be moderated (like the EZ Tools section) and of course the tools should be probably formatted like such (for example)
Title -Goes in the subject should be something like this:
[Win/Nix]nMap
Then as far as the message goes should include a picture (if its cli, very simple to open up terminal and app --help) Then a description of the functions of the application. Then a quick run down on how to use the application properly.
Then if skiddys come by and try and fill it with "hack tools" with a backdoor programmed in VB, then remove the feature.
This is a Hacking and Security board, there should be a section for tools that hackers and security enthusiast use.
I'm sure you remember the tool section on the previous board (although not opened to the public) you saw the posts I had made in there. Purely education and to help the common user learn more about security and hacking.
