                  HUSHMAIL

             Not really a tool, but you can sign up for a free email account with PGP Encryption. Very good for private communication.

                You can also look at SIMP LITE Very easy to set up and lets you encrypt your MSN conversations

 

                  WinPcap

            

Needed for most of these tools in Windows, Linux users need LibPcap (Usually included in most distro’s if not easy to find with google

             

          THC-SCAN

 

             Excellent War-Dialler with Source Code.

Working under DOS, Win95/98/NT/2K/XP and all DOS emulators (UNiX) on all 80x86 processors

 

             NMAP (Windows)        NMAP (Redhat RPM)

                         

Port Scanner, used extensively during pen-testing for reconnaissance, and vulnerability assessment

 

Yersinia

 

Tool for Layer 2 attacking, that gets its name from a particularly nasty bacteria that causes plague.  But be warned!!! Some of the features can cause a Dos Attack and wipe out your network.. as always RTFM and understand before you play !!!

 

Nessus

 

Vulnerability Assessment Tool, Essential in tool for Pen-Testing Link Supplied Only, you need to agree to the terms of use. Only available for UNiX, but you can get a nessus client on a windows machine if you have access to a nessus server elsewhere. You also need to provide an email address for the plugin feeds. They are free if you opt for the delayed feed.

 

Ettercap

 

One of my favourite tools, Think Switched environments are safe??? Think again. Ettercap is a suite for MITM (Man in the middle) attacks on a switched LAN. It features sniffing of live connections, content filtering on the fly and includes features for network and host analysis. It can even capture ciphered connections!! Almost all platforms are supported.

 

John The Ripper

 

There are other tools out there for password cracking, but this one works for me. Can be used against a wide range of architectures. As powerful, if not better than l0phtCrack!!  I am also trying to obtain rainbow tables for faster password cracking. I may make these available on DVD (If I get time) Otherwise you might want to check out http://rainbowtables.shmoo.com

 

NIKTO

 

Nikto is an open source (GPL) web server scanner which performs comprehensive tests against web servers. It includes tests for over 3200 potentially dangerous files/CGIs on over 625 servers and over 230 version specific problems. Only for Unix (Though you can run it in cygwin if you have the required libraries)

 

Kismet

 

What can I say, Wireless detector, Sniffer, IDS. Passively detects wireless access points and sniffs the traffic going to them. Interesting when you find unsecured access points. Also streams can be saved as a pcap file for later WEP cracking efforts. Windoze Users can also check out Netstumbler, but this is only a war driving tool. It doesn’t have the ability to capture packets.

 

AIRSNORT

 

Another Wireless tool, This one can ‘recover’ lost WEP Keys. Appears to have been compiled for XP as well as all the Unixes.

 

 

THC-HYDRA

 

Parallized login hacking tool. Can be used for Sabma, FTP, POP3, IMAP, Telnet, HTTP Auth, LDAP, NNTP, MySQL, VNC, ICQ, Socks5, PCNFS, Cisco etc etc etc….

 

Metasploit

 

Start to finish Exploitation framework tool. Comes in all OS Flavours, works with XP with a fully integrated Cygwin package. Has updates for new exploit code and can be used through a web interface… Remember to RTFM !! (Read the f* Manual)

 

Hijetter

 

Fun with HP Printers, You can upload/hide files, use them as FTP Servers, issue commands, change the LCD display and a whole host of other things. Works on Windows or can be used in Linux with WINE.

 

NetWag

 

217 Handy Network tools all in one easy to use Gui. NetWag is the GUI front-end to NetWox. Includes a myriad of things to play with. Can be dangerous in the wrong hands !! Remember to RTFM !! Binaries included for Windows and UNiX

 

Bloover

 

This tool is great. It’s a proof of concept designed to run on your Bluetooth enabled mobile (Supposed to run on all J2ME MIDP 2.0 VM equipped phones) to sniff out Bluetooth connections and perform a variety of attacks against the SMS, Phonebook and even dialling numbers through vulnerable bluetooth devices.

 

 

There are a whole host of other Bluetooth hacking tools available for Linux (Bluez, BlueSniffer, BlueSnarfer and Redfang) which are also a lot of fun when you are on the train home and that annoying person in the quiet coach a few seats down from you won’t stop talking on their phone >) I just couldn’t be bothered to post them here. (Google any of the names and you’ll find them)

 

VOMIT (Voice over MIs-configured Telephones)

 

A new one on here, good for intercepting VoIP Traffic and having some fun. There is another tool out there called Tourettes which injects swear words into VoIP Streams but I’m having trouble finding it, Maybe soon J

 

 

That’s about it for now. I do use many other tools but I’d be here all day posting them. It’s a matter of personal preference. There are usually several variations of tools available. Some do the same as others, Some have a better plugin list, some work better on different OS’s. Check out the links section as a starting point for finding tools and information. And theres always Google :D Happy Hunting !!!
