Hacker utilities for Android and iPhone. Exploit "on the knee"

Youtube

Security testing is becoming increasingly important for organizations of all sizes as security breaches continue to increase in both frequency and the amount of damage they cause. Hackers are always looking for vulnerabilities in a computer system or network that can be easily exploited.

There are some hackers who hack simply because they enjoy hacking. Some of them identify system vulnerabilities and access points for penetration, and also prevent unwanted access to network and information systems (in return they receive payment for this). There are also hackers who simply want to exploit vulnerabilities, blackmail and expose their victims.

So, which operating systems do you think hackers like to use the most? Since most hacking operating systems are based on the Linux kernel, this means that Linux has always been the favorite operating system for hackers.

This article lists the top 5 open source operating systems for hacking and security testing.

Developed and funded by Offensive Security Ltd., Kali Linux distribution is one of the best and favorite operating systems of hackers. Kali Linux is a Debian-based Linux distribution designed for advanced security testing and vulnerability auditing. It contains several hundred tools designed to solve various information security problems, such as penetration testing, security research, and computer forensics. And yes, this is the same Linux that Elliot used in the TV series “Mr. Robot".

Kali Linux is an open source project that you can install on your PC. However, the general concept is to use the system as a Live CD (USB) and run all sorts of probes, tests and studies for networking purposes. It is designed for both Windows and Linux-based tools. It also supports wireless setup, MANA Evil Access Point settings, HID keyboard (like Teensy), as well as Bad USB MITM.

Moreover, Kali Linux constantly updates its repositories, and is available for different platforms such as VMWare, ARM and many more. Kali comes pre-installed with the best software security tools. There are: Hydra (login cracker), Nmap (port sniffer), Wireshark (packet sniffer), John the Ripper (password cracking tool) and Metasploit Framework (exploit development tool). There are also other tools that make it different from other operating systems.

Parrot Security is a GNU Linux distribution based on Debian and focused on computer security. This is another favorite operating system of hackers. It is designed for penetration testing (computer security), vulnerability assessment and hack mitigation, computer forensics, anonymous web browsing.

Parrot uses Kali repositories to get the latest updates for almost all hacking tools, but also has its own dedicated repository that stores all custom packages. That's why this distribution isn't just a simple Kali "mod" but a whole new concept that builds on the Kali Linux repositories. Thus, it introduces many new features and different development options. Parrot uses MATE as its desktop environment. The lightweight and powerful interface is based on the famous GNOME 2 and thanks to customizable adorable FrozenBox icons, special themes and wallpapers, it has a very presentable look.

The project is certified to run on machines with 256 MB of RAM and is suitable for both 32-bit (i386) and 64-bit (amd64). There is a special version that works on older 32-bit machines (486). In addition, the project is available for armel and armhf architectures. It even offers an edition (both 32-bit and 64-bit) designed for cloud-based servers.

BackBox is another operating system that tests for hackability and provides a security assessment. The creators base their project on Ubuntu. A set of tools for analyzing network and information systems is provided here. The BackBox environment includes a complete set of tools needed for proof-of-hack and security testing.

BackBox is a lightweight OS and requires less hardware specification. BackBox's main goal is to provide an alternative, highly customizable and well-performing system. It uses a desktop environment based on the lightweight Xfce window manager, making it standard and easy to use. Also includes some of the most commonly used security and analysis tools, designed for broad purposes, from web application analysis to network analysis, from stress tests to sniffing. Includes vulnerability assessment, computer forensic analysis.

BackBox has its own software repositories, which are always updated to the latest stable version of the most used and most famous hacking tools. The integration and development of new open source tools in the distribution follows the community. In particular, following the criteria of the Debian Software Developers Guide.

DEFT (Digital Evidence and Forensic Toolkit) is an open source Linux distribution based on DART (Digital Advanced Response Toolkit) software. This is a distribution designed for computer forensics. It runs live on systems without interfering or corrupting devices (hard drives, flash drives, etc.) connected to the PC on which the boot process is taking place. It is equipped with the best free and open source applications. All this is intended for response to various types of incidents, cyber intelligence, computer forensics, as well as for use by the military, law enforcement agencies, private security specialists and IT auditors.

Live Hacking OS

Live Hacking DVD is a Linux distribution packed with tools and utilities for hacking, penetration testing, and countermeasures. Based on Ubuntu, this "Live DVD" runs directly from the DVD and does not require installation on your hard drive. Once downloaded, you can use the included tools to verify, hack, and perform penetration tests on your own network to ensure they are protected from outside attackers.

The distribution has two forms for operation. The first is a complete Linux desktop, including a graphical user interface (GNOME) and applications such as Firefox. Along with everything, there are tools and utilities for DNS enumeration, reconnaissance, password cracking and network eavesdropping. For greater accessibility, there is a Live Hacking menu that will help you quickly find and launch the necessary programs.

The second option is the Live Hacking Mini CD, which only works on the command line. However, this does not detract from the capabilities of the tools and utilities used, since most testing programs and hacking tools work on the command line. The /lh input directory has symbolic links to various tools. All this does not require high power from the equipment at all.

For example, a Pentium 3 or any Pentium 4 (or higher) class processor is sufficient. The desktop version requires 512 MB of memory with a recommended 1 GB. Additionally, the command line version requires only 128 MB of memory.

Bottom line

We looked at five great operating systems that can serve both for hacking and protection. I'll probably try Kali Linux or Parrot OS myself. I'll see what kind of tools and applications are there, and maybe I'll talk about some of them on my blog.

Top programs for hackers 2014-2015

Burp Suite has a number of features that can help pentesters and hackers. Two compatible applications used in this tool include "Burp Suite Spider", which can list and map different pages and options on a website by examining cookies. Initiates a connection to these web applications, as well as an "Intruder", which carries out a series of automated attacks on targeted web applications.

Burp Suite is an excellent web hacking tool that many pentesters can use to test the vulnerability of websites and targeted web applications. Burp Suite works using detailed knowledge of the application, which has been removed from the HTTP protocol. The tool works through an algorithm that is customizable and can generate a malicious HTTP attack request that hackers often use. Burp Suite is especially indispensably useful for detecting and identifying vulnerabilities for SQL injection and Cross-Site Scripting(s).

Angry IP Scanner - also known as "ipscan" is a freely available network hacking scanner that is both fast and easy to use. The main purpose of this IP address and port scanning hacking tool is to find open doors and ports in other people's systems. It is worth noting that Angry IP Scanner also has a bunch of other hacking methods, you just need to know how to use it. Common users of this hacking tool are network administrators and system engineers. Snort is an amazing network hacking tool that can be configured in one of three preset modes:

it can be used as an interceptor
packet logger
for detecting network intrusions

More often than not, hackers use Sniffer Mode, which gives them the ability to read network packets and display them on a graphical user interface. In package logger mode, Snort will audit and log packages to disk. In intrusion detection mode, Snort monitors network traffic and analyzes it with a user-defined set of rules.

THC Hydra - Often seen as another password cracker. THC Hydra is extremely popular and has a very active and experienced development team. Essentially Hydra is fast and stable for hacking logins and passwords. It uses a dictionary and Brute Force attacks to try different combinations of usernames and passwords on the login page. This hacking tool supports a wide range of protocols, including Mail (POP3, IMAP, etc.), Database, LDAP, SMB, VNC, and SSH.

Wapiti has a very loyal following. As a pentesting tool (or Framework), Wapiti is capable of scanning and identifying hundreds of possible vulnerabilities. Basically, this multi-purpose hacking tool can check the security of web applications by executing a black box system. That is, she does not study the source code of the application, but scans the application's HTML pages, scripts and forms, where she can insert her data.

We hope you found this list of the best hacking and security tools of 2017 useful.

I devote all my time on the Internet to searching for information that interests me. And sometimes you come across such resources, one might say, just a treasure trove of information for IT enthusiasts and hackers of various categories, although those who have been in this business for a long time can only be envied and strive to be aware of everything that they know and can do.

Once again, while traversing the Internet, I came across a list of utilities (very incomplete, as it turned out later). And so, there is a website Insecure.Org(see www.insecure.org), which oh how long ago (2006) updated the list of the 100 most useful utilities for a hacker, which is still very relevant for people like me.

Here are the first twenty-five:

Nessus(see www.nessus.org) - the best vulnerability scanner. It is constantly updated, has more than 11,000 free plugins, its own scripting language, and client-server architecture. The third version of the scanner is closed source, but is still free.
Wireshark(see www.wireshark.org) - protocol analyzer for Unix and Windows (formerly known as Ethereal(cm. )). It allows you to analyze the received data on the fly and save it on disk, has a powerful filter language, and allows you to reconstruct TCP sessions. Supports hundreds of protocols.
Snort(see www.snort.org) is an open source intrusion detection system. Equipped with a protocol analyzer, content scanning system, various preprocessors, Snort detects thousands of worms, exploits, port scans and many other suspicious activities. IDS uses a flexible, rules-based language and a modular attack detection engine.
Netcat(see www.vulnwatch.org) - the Swiss knife of any burglar. A simple utility allows you to read and write data in TCP and UDP connections. Netcat allows you to connect to anything and do anything. Netcat is absolutely self-sufficient; if used correctly, it can replace any software tool, including even the Apache you know. So, in its simplest version, Netcat allows you to create TCP and UDP connections from any to any port, can “listen” to incoming connections (and you can order the “kitten” to wait for connections only from the addresses and even ports you specify!), can scan ports, allow DNS queries, send any commands from standard input, perform predefined actions in response to a connection that the “kitten” is listening to, make a Hex dump of sent and received data, and much, much more. The popularity of the program has forced many to start writing extended versions - the most interesting is Socat(see sectools.org), supports multiple socket types, SSL encryption, SOCKS proxies, etc. Is there some more Chris Gibson's Ncat (see), OpenBSD nc (see www.openbsd.org), Cryptcat (see farm9.org), Netcat6 (see www.deepspace6.net), PNetcat (see dcs.nac.uci. edu), SBD (see tigerteam.se) and so called GNU Netcat(cm. ).
Metasploit Framework (see www.metasploit.com)- an open platform for developing, testing and using exploits, one of the best software discoveries in recent years. In other words, this is a pearl program that allows you to connect to yourself sploits written in a special format and insert any of the available shellcodes into them. It comes with hundreds of ready-made exploits, which makes it easy to study them and create new ones.
Hping2(see www.hping.org) is a network utility similar to ping, only fed on steroids. Allows you to collect and send ICMP, UDP and TCP packets, viewing the responses to them. It has several traceroute modes and supports IP fragmentation. Good for studying protocols, working with hosts behind firewalls, and experimenting.
Kismet(see www.kismetwireless.net) - the best sniffer for wireless networks The console program works in 802.11 networks, allows you to detect them, intercept packets and can work as an IDS. Automatically intercepts TCP, UDP, ARP and DHCP packets, records logs in Wireshark/TCPDump format and even marks the found network on the map.
Tcpdump(see www.tcpdump.org) - a classic sniffer for network monitoring and data analysis. It was traditionally used before Ethereal and continues to be used by many. It does its job well and has fewer bugs, constantly correcting them. Under Windows there is a port called WinDump(see windump.polito.it). The sniffer is the basis for the library Libpcap (see www.tcpdump.org)/WinPcap (see winpcap.polito.it), which is used in many other applications.
Cain and Abel (see www.oxid.it)— sniffer and password decryptor for Windows. A definite Must Have for everyone who works with passwords and networks in a Windows environment. It can sniff the network, select passwords using a dictionary or brute force, record VoIP conversations, open passwords in windows and cached in the system, etc.
John the Ripper(see www.openwall.com) - the best password cracker, another Must Have. There is even nothing to write about it in general - everything has been known for a long time, everything has been told a long time ago and everything has been used in their work for a long time. Available for 11 flavors of Unix, DOS, Win32, BeOS and OpenVMS. Wordlists for the program can be found both here(see www.outpost9.com).
Ettercap(see) - a sniffer for networks on switches.
Nikto(see www.cirt.net) - web scanner, 3200 potential vulnerabilities. Sometimes it is updated, maybe automatically.
Ping/telnet/dig/traceroute/whois/netstat is a basic that everyone has on every system.
OpenSSH (see www.openssh.com) / PuTTY (see www.chiark.greenend.org.uk) / SSH (see www.ssh.com)— programs for secure access to other computers.
THC Hydra(see thc.segfault.net) - a fast authentication password cracker that supports many services. Maybe by brute force, maybe by dictionary, supports more than 30 protocols.
Paros proxy(see www.parosproxy.org) - a Java proxy server for identifying web application vulnerabilities. You can change/view HTTP/HTTPS packets on the fly.
Dsniff(see www.monkey.org) - a set of programs for network auditing and penetration testing. The port for Windows is here (see.
