Top 15 Security/Hacking Tools & Utilities

There is yet another list of security/hacking tools that are must haves over at Darknet. Another list that I have referred people to in the past is Fyodor’s Top 75 list. Here’s the short form of the 15:

  1. NMAP network/port scanner
  2. Nessus vulnerability scanner
  3. John the Ripper password cracker
  4. Nikto web server scanner
  5. Superscan port scanner(If you need a pretty GUI, you’re a script kiddie)
  6. pof passive OS fingerprinting tool
  7. Ethereal network protocol analyzer
  8. Yersinia Layer 2 protocol analyzer
  9. Eraser data wipe tool
  10. PuTTY SSH client
  11. LCP password cracker
  12. Cain and Abel password cracker
  13. Kismet password cracker
  14. NetStumbler windows wireless scanner
  15. hping TCP/IP packet assembler/analyzer

Not bad…I’ll have to pull my own list together. Join the Lemming masses. 🙂
