There have been a lot of tools floating around the web who claim to be the best in their respective fields.
I have used many hacking tools that are built for both windows and linux platform and have seen that the linux tools are far more powerful than the windows tools. Keeping this thing in mind i thought to compile my list to those softwares that work well for both the platform and perform similar features.
The list has some new names compared to those in last years blog. I have also provided a download link of all the ten softwares compiled in a single zipped file to ease the downloading.
1.Nmap
It provides a wide range of features like port scanning, fingureprinting, os detection , ping , scanning an IP range , alive hosts etc. It has a rich command mode for advanced users which can combine several commands together to execute ones. Its the most recomended tool for new as well as advanced learners and security experts. It hosts its google opensource project every year. Download the zip.
2.SuperScan
Powerful TCP port scanner, pinger, resolver. SuperScan 4 is an update of the highly popular Windows port scanning tool, SuperScan. If you need an alternative for nmap on Windows with a decent interface, I
suggest you check this out, it’s pretty nice. It provides a cool scanning experience with lot of information displayed Downlaod the zip
3.Cain and Abel
My personal favourite for password cracking of any kind.
Cain & Abel is 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, revealing password boxes, uncovering cached passwords and analyzing routing protocols.
The program does not exploit any software vulnerabilities or bugs that could not be fixed with little effort. Download the zip
