Top 10 Best Hacking Tools

Hacking always involves tools. A good hacker knows how to use tools to his best advantage. An even better hacker writes his own tools. Here I have listed the top 10 most popular tools used in hacking. It is advisable to master these tools to become a good hacker. Note that all the tools listed here are completely free.

1. Nmap

Nmap is also known as the swiss army knife of hacking. It is the best port scanner with a lot of functions
In hacking, Nmap is usually used in the footprinting phase to scan the ports of the remote computer to find out wich ports are open.


2. Wireshark

Wireshark is a packet sniffer. It captures all network traffic going through a network adapter. When performing man in the middle attacks using tools like Cain, we can use Wireshark to capture the traffic and analyze it for juicy info like usernames and passwords. It is used by network administrators to perform network troubleshooting.

3. Cain and Abel

Cain and Abel is a multipurpose windows only hacking tool. It is a bit old now, but it still does the job well. Cain can be used to crack windows password, perform man in the middle attacks, capture network passwords etc.

4. Metasploit

Metasploit is a huge database of exploits. There are thousands of exploit codes, payloads that can be used to attack web servers or any computer for that matter. This is the ultimate hacking tool that will allow you to actually "hack" a computer. You will be able to get root access to the remote computer and plant backdoors or do any other stuff. It is best to use metasploit under linux.

5. Burp Suite

Burpsuite is a web proxy tool that can be used to test web application security. It can brute force any login form in a browser. You can edit or modify GET and POST data before sending it to the server. It can also be used to automatically detect SQL injection vulnerabilities. It is a good tool to use both under Windows and Linux environments.

6. Aircrack-ng

Aircrack-ng is a set of tools that are used to crack wifi passwords. Using a combination of the tools in  aircrack, you can easily crack WEP passwords. WPA passwords can be cracked using dictionary or brute force.  Although aircrack-ng is available for Windows, it is best to use it under Linux environment. There are many issues if you use it under Windows environment.


8. Nessus

Nessus is a comprehensive  automatic vulnerability scanner.  You have to give it an IP address as input and it will scan that IP address to find out the vulnerabilities in that system. Once you know the vulnerabllities, you can use metasploit to exploit the vulnerablity. Nessus works both in Windows and Linux.



10. THC Hydra

Hydra is a fast password cracker tool. It cracks passwords of remote systems through the network. It can crack passwords of many protocols including ftp,http, smtp etc. You have the option to supply a dictionary file which contains possible passwords. It is best to use hydra under linux environment.

9. Netcat

Netcat is a great networking utility which reads and writes data across network connections, using the TCP/IP protocol. It is also known as the swiss army knife for TCP/IP. This is because netcat is extremely versatile and can perform almost anything related to TCP/IP. In a hacking scenario, it can be used as a backdoor to access hacked computers remotely. The use of netcat is limited only by the user's imagination. Find out more about netcat at the official website.

10. Putty

Although putty is not a hacking software by itself, it is a very useful tool for a hacker. It is a client for SSH and telnet, which can be used to connect to remote computers. You may use putty when you want to connect to your Backtrack machine from your Windows PC.  It can also be used to perform SSH tunneling to bypass firewalls.

Note: This list is not comprehensive. There are many tools that I have left out. Those tools that did not make the list are; Sqlmap, Havij, Acunetix Web Scanner, SuperScan, John the Ripper, Kismet, Hping3.

Europe is getting fast and reliable in-flight Wi-Fi, you just have to wait till 2017

In the U.S., browsing Facebook and sending emails during a flight isn’t that big of a deal anymore, but in-flight Wi-Fi in Europe is harder to get.

That might change soon if a new partnership between UK satellite company Inmarsat and operator Deutsche Telekom gains traction. Today the two companies launched the European Aviation Network, a system that combines LTE and satellite networks to give travelers high-speed internet in flights across the continent.

This network won’t be anything surprising to people in the US. Multi-beam satellites will use Inmarsat’s 30MHz (2 x 15MHz) S-band spectrum to cover the 28 EU member states. And Deutsche Telekom will use 300 specially-modified LTE sites ranging up to 80 kilometers (normal masts offer around 10 kilometers) and can accommodate the speed of a plane.

In the announcement, Tim Höttges, CEO of Deutsche Telekom, said that they want to be the first to use the combination of LTE and satellite technology to bring connectivity to European airspace.

Andy Sukawaty, Chairman of Inmarsat, added that the partnership will make each group stronger and allow them to “deliver the fastest, best and most consistent in-flight broadband experience that meets the needs of airlines in this region.”

When can people in Europe expect to update Instagram mid-flight? Lufthansa is the first European airline to have a trial with the European Aviation Network -- and that will start in 2017. Before then Lufthansa’s aircrafts will be updated with the equipment needed to connect to both the S-band satellite and the high-speed broadband ground network. Inmarsat says that the systems will switch automatically between the two to make sure passengers have consistent and fast Wi-Fi.

Samsung reportedly set to offer Apple-style smartphone leasing program

Samsung is reportedly set to follow Apple’s lead by offering a leasing program in the US for its flagship Galaxy smartphones. An industry executive said that the program will launch in the next several months, although it could arrive even sooner, according to Forbes.
Apple announced its iPhone Upgrade Program at the same recent event where it revealed the iPhone 6S and the iPad Pro. For a monthly fee, the program allows anyone who buys a new iPhone 6S or iPhone 6S Plus to avoid a carrier contract and upgrade to a new iPhone every year. The program starts at $32 a month and is said to be better value for money than the plans offered by traditional carriers. Apple has referred to its scheme as “the best way to own [an] iPhone.”

It gives you an easier way to get a new [unlocked] iPhone every year, and the security and protection of AppleCare+. You’re even free to choose the carrier and rate plan that work for you. Because the iPhone upgrade program isn’t tied to a single carrier, you don’t need a multiyear service contract. If you don’t have any carrier commitments, you’re free to select a new carrier or stick with the one you have.

An increasing number of carriers are moving away from traditional 2-year phone contracts and are making customers buy the devices outright using no-interest payment plans. Both T-mobile and Sprint now offer their own smartphone leasing deals.
It’s not yet clear what pricing plan Samsung will use in its leasing program or what devices it will cover, although it’s likely that the company will include the Galaxy S6 range and the Note 5 in the scheme. There’s also the possibility that other devices from Samsung’s range, such as wearables like smartwatches, could be made available for lease.
Samsung has yet to comment on the report.

How To Reveal Hidden Password Using Asterisk Key

It’s a good practice not to use the same password on everything. This is because if your ONLY password falls in the wrong hands, the next thing you know is you won’t be able to access anything at all. Imagine you loose access to your Hotmail, Gmail, Yahoo, Windows Live Messenger, Yahoo Messenger, Google Talk, Internet Bank account and etc. a day! You’ll go crazy loosing all your contacts and you know someone is having a great time reading all your personal emails.

For me, I use different password for software's/websites and most of it is saved on my laptop for easy access. Problem is, if you use too many different passwords, sometimes we tend to forget the password that we set for the software or website. If the password is saved, you can easily use a tool to show the password hidden under the asterisk *******

I am sure many of you remember “SnadBoy’s Revelation” but unfortunately it doesn’t support showing passwords hidden under asterisks in web pages. So I won’t be recommending this tool because I know a better one.

Asterisk Key shows passwords hidden under asterisks. It is able to instantly uncover hidden passwords on password dialog boxes and web pages. The setup is less than 500KB and it works perfectly.

Reveal hidden password in Google Talk (Software)



 

Reveal hidden password in Internet Explorer (Web Page)
 

Both Google Talk and Internet Explorer is active. I then launch Asterisk Key and click the “Recover” button. Within a second, Asterisk Key shows the passwords hidden under asterisks

. 

NOTE, please use this tool to recover your OWN password. If you get caught in using this tool to steal people’s password, 9JACYBERZONE isn't responsible for it... .So, treat this tool as a useful recovery too instead of hacking tool.

Note: Asterisk Key doesn’t reveal password hidden under asterisk in Firefox browser.
