You might want to look at the grml live CD as it comes with many of them already installed and running. I don't have a list of the packages but I ended up removing several dozen. You could look at http://grml.org/ and see if the list of packages is online and go from there. My mind is going blank as to the names of some of them. One is nessusd or similar but it is non-fre I think. You could also look at the "harden" Debian package and specifically its dependencies. That might also give some ideas. You could browse through the "Net" section as well. If your distro has a package search ability, you could search for network security or similar. There are many programs out there to do what you want. Obviously, Google is your friend here.
