Essential Hacking Tools for every Hacker

 

Here is a list of all the essential hacking tools that every hacker should possess.Here in this post I will give details of different Hacking/Security tools and utilities along with the download links.I have also divided these tools into their respective categories for ease of understanding.

NETWORK SCANNERS AND TCP/IP UTILITIES

 

 

1. IP TOOLS

 

IP-Tools offers many TCP/IP utilities in one program. This award-winning program can work under Windows 98/ME, Windows NT 4.0, Windows 2000/XP/2003, Windows Vista and is indispensable for anyone who uses the Internet or Intranet.

It includes the following utilities

• Local Info – examines the local host and shows info about processor, memory, Winsock data, etc.
• Name Scanner – scans all hostnames within a range of IP addresses
• Port Scanner – scans network(s) for active TCP based services
• Ping Scanner – pings a remote hosts over the network
• Telnet – telnet client
• HTTP – HTTP client
• IP-Monitor – shows network traffic in real time & many more

IP TOOLS has almost all the utilities built into it.So there is no need to use seperate tools for every indivisual process of hacking such as Port scanning,Whois scanning,IP monitor etc.It’s like a hacking tool kit which has all the necessary tools for hacking.

2. NMAP

Nmap is a similar hacking/security tool as IP Tools which offer slightly different set of features.Unlike IP Tools Nmap is a freeware.It is designed to rapidly scan large networks, although it works fine against single hosts.Nmap uses raw IP packets in novel ways to determine what hosts are available on the network, what services (application name and version) those hosts are offering, what operating systems (and OS versions) they are running, what type of packet filters/firewalls are in use, and dozens of other characteristics. Nmap runs on most types of computers and both console and graphical versions are available

 PASSWORD CRACKERS

1. LC4 (For Windows Password Recovery)

LC4 is the award-winning password auditing and recovery application, L0phtCrack. It provides two critical capabilities to Windows network administrators:

• LC4 helps administrators secure Windows-authenticated networks through comprehensive auditing of Windows NT and Windows 2000 user account passwords.

 

• LC4 recovers Windows user account passwords to streamline migration of users to another authentication system or to access accounts whose passwords are lost.

2. SAMINSIDE (For Windows Password Recovery)

SAMInside is designated for the recovery of Windows NT/2000/XP/2003/Vista user passwords.

The following are some of the highlighting features of Saminside.

• The program doesn’t require installation.It can be directly run from CD,Disk or Pendrive.
• Includes over 10 types of data import and 6 types of password attack

1. Brute-force attack
2. Distributed attack
3. Mask attack
4. Dictionary attack
5. Hybrid attack
6. Pre-calculated tables attack

• Run’s very fast since the program is completely written in assembler.

As far as my opinion is concerned both LC4 and SAMINSIDE are powerful password crackers for cracking Windows Passwords.However LC4 has slightly upper hand overSaminside.I recommend LC4 for advanced users but Saminside is more suitable for novice users.

3. MESSENPASS (For Instant Messenger Password Recovery)

Messenpass is a password recovery tool for instant messengers.It can be used to recover the lost passwords of yahoo messenger or windows messenger.It is too easy to use this tool.Just double-click this tool and it reveals the username and passwords that are stored in the system.

 Most of the above tools are shareware which means that you have to pay for them.But they are really worth for their money.Most of the time freewares offer limited functionality/features than the sharewares and hence I recommend them to my visitors.But still you can get 99% of all the softwares for free (cracked versions) on the internet.I will not discuss about how/where to download the cracked versions of the softwares for obvious reasons.It’s all up to you how you get these softwares.
