TOP 10 HACKING TOOLS
10 HACKING TOOLS
1)Nessus
In computer security, Nessus is a proprietary comprehensive vulnerability scanning program. It is free of charge for personal use in a non-enterprise environment. Its goal is to detect potential vulnerabilities on the tested systems.
The “Nessus” Project aims to provide to the internet community a free, powerful, up-to-date and easy to use remote security scanner for Linux, BSD, Solaris, and other flavors of Unix.
2)Ethereal
Ethereal is a free network protocol analyzer for Unix and Windows. Ethereal has several powerful features, including a rich display filter language and the ability to view the reconstructed stream of a TCP session.
3)Snort
A free lightweight network intrusion detection system for UNIX and Windows.
Snort is an open source network intrusion detection system, capable of performing real-time traffic analysis and packet logging on IP networks.
4)Netcat
Netcat is a computer networking service for reading from and writing network connections using TCP or UDP.
Netcat has been dubbed the network swiss army knife. It is a simple Unix utility which reads and writes data across network connections, using TCP or UDP protocol
5)Hping Hping is a command-line oriented TCP/IP packet assembler/analyzer, kind of like the “ping” program (but with a lot of extensions).
6)DNSiff
DNSiff is a collection of tools for network auditing and penetration testing. dsniff, filesnarf, mailsnarf, msgsnarf, urlsnarf, and webspy passively monitor a network for interesting data (passwords, e-mail, files, etc.).
7)GFI LANguard
GFI LANguard Network Security Scanner (N.S.S.) automatically scans your entire network, IP by IP, and plays the devil’s advocate alerting you to security vulnerabilities.
8)John the Ripper John the Ripper is a fast password cracker, currently available for many flavors of Unix.
9)OpenSSH
OpenSSH (OpenBSD Secure Shell) is a set of computer programs providing encrypted communication sessions over a computer network using the ssh protocol. It was created as an open source alternative to the proprietary Secure Shell software suite offered by SSH Communications Security.
OpenSSH is a FREE version of the SSH protocol suite of network connectivity tools, which encrypts all traffic (including passwords) to effectively eliminate eavesdropping, connection hijacking, and other network-level attacks.
10)TripWire
Tripwire is a tool that can be used for data and program integrity assurance.

Writing a script to automate various tasks on your system that you would normally have to do manually is something that I’ve become infatuated with recently. Maybe it’s the automation engineer in me, but the idea of having a computer intelligently do what I don’t have time to do is very appealing. That is why I’ve recently started offering some tips on how you can automate your own computer with windows host scripts, typically using Visual Basic script to do things like automate telnet commands or even sending emails.
