Must Have Tools For Hackers

Hackers are the security experts who penetrate the systems to find the security loopholes with respect to prior permissions granted. Hacking tools are coded by some expert programmers and coders  out there. So, these are some tools every hacker must have to test the operating environments.



=> NMAP
This tool is widely used by security researchers to audit the security. This tool is designed to scan the very large networks on the go. The software provides features like investigating computer networks, including host discovery and service and operating system detection. Some more features like- Port Scanning, Version Detection, Scriptable interaction with the target, Reverse DNS names, device types and mac addresses of the devices on the network.
Download NMAP (Network Mapper) here.

=> Nessus
Nessus is a proprietary comprehensive vulnerability scanner. But it is freely available for personal use and non enterprise use. It scans for vulnerabilities like- vulnerabilities that allow a hacker to remotely access the confidential data, denials of service on TCP/IP etc.

Cain and Abel is basically a password recovery tool for Microsoft Operating Systems. It allows easy recovery of various kind of passwords by sniffing the network, cracking encrypted passwords using Dictionary, Brute-Force and Cryptanalysis attacks, recording VoIP conversations, decoding scrambled passwords, recovering wireless network keys, revealing password boxes, uncovering cached passwords and analyzing routing protocols.The latest version is faster and contains a lot of new features like APR (Arp Poison Routing) which enables sniffing on switched LANs and Man-in-the-Middle attacks. The sniffer in this version can also analyze encrypted protocols such as SSH-1 and HTTPS, and contains filters to capture credentials from a wide range of authentication mechanisms. The new version also ships routing protocols authentication monitors and routes extractors, dictionary and brute-force crackers for all common hashing algorithms and for several specific authentications, password/hash calculators, cryptanalysis attacks, password decoders and  some not so common utilities related to network and system security.
Download Cain And Abel here.

It is a powerful tool for windows platform. Built a nice and user friendly interface for easy use. It is basically meant for detection of Wireless LANs that are using IEEE standards like 802.11a, 802.11b and 802.11g. 

There are plenty of tools available on the internet for testing purposes. Writing the rest tools shortly.
