Sub-categorize "Network Tools" section, clarify "Defense," add Iodine. 
Iodine is a DNS tunnel and useful for data exfiltration.

The Network Tools section became very long, so I chunked it up with
subcategories that pertain to the sort of tool. ("Network Tools" is
itself somewhat vague, and multi-paradigm/multi-function tools were
retained in the root of the category.)

Finally, "Defense Evasion Tools" was renamed to "Anti-virus Evasion
Tools" because every utility listed there was actually an AV or
host-based defense evasion tool, which is distinct from the network
evasion tools (exfiltration utilities) already listed in the "Network
Tools" section, above. I believe this clarity will help a reader more
quickly find the specific type of "defense evasion" utility they are
actually looking for.
