| [ Automation Tools ] |
These tools create efficient, repeatable security workflows handling high-level logic and cross-tool orchestration. The wrapper scripts act as the "glue" that simplifies complex individual commands and integates them into larger systems. They are primarily used to orchestrate security tasks across an entire organization or development pipeline. |
| [ Backdoors & Rootkits ] |
These tools are designed to provide persistent, stealthy access to a systemby bypassing security and hiding their presence. While backdoors focus on persistent access, rootkits focus on concealment by modifying core system components. |
| [ Binary Tools ] |
ELF and PE binary tools used to inspect the two most common executable file formats: ELF (Executable and Linkable Format), used primarily on Linux and Unix-like systems, and PE (Portable Executable), the standard for Windows programs (.exe, .dll). These tools allow you to view internal structures like headers, imported functions, and code sections to understand how a program interacts with the operating system. |
| [ Crackers ] |
Crackers (or password cracking tools) used to recover forgotten passwords or to test the strength of authentication systems by attempting to reverse cryptographic hashes into their original plaintext form. They are vital for auditing password policies and incident response. |
| [ Cryptography Tools ] |
Tools and software libraries used to secure data through encryption, hashing, and digital signatures. These tools ensure confidentiality (keeping data secret), integrity (ensuring data isn't changed or tampered with), and authenticity (verifying a sender's identity). |
| [ DoS Tools ] |
These tools are software utilities designed to overwhelm a target system, service, or network with a flood of traffic or malformed requests. The goal is to exhaust resources - such as bandwidth, CPU, or memory - making the target unavailable to legitimate users. These tools are used by stress-testing professionals to evaluate security control resiliency in infrastructure defense mechanisms. |
| [ Exploits & Exploit Tools ] |
Exploit tools, Proof of Concepts (POCs), and utilities used to take advantage of specific software vulnerabilities to gain unauthorized access, elevate privileges, or execute code on target systems. They are primarily instruments for penetration testing and red teaming to prove that a theoretical flaw poses a real-world risk. |
| [ Fuzzers ] |
Fuzzers (or fuzz testing tools) are automated security testing utilities that inject invalid, unexpected, or random data into a program to trigger crashes, memory leaks, or logic errors. These tools are essential for discovering zero-day vulnerabilities like buffer overflows and denial of service (DoS) flaws. |
| [ Keyloggers ] |
Tools designed to capture and record keystrokes on a computer or mobile device. While they have legitimate uses in parental monitoring, employee producitivity tracking, and IT troubleshooting, they are also frequently deployed as malware or spyware to steal sensitive information and data like passwords and financial information. Use with caution. |
| [ Logcleaners ] |
Utilities designed to remove, mask, or securely delete log data from systems. These tools serve different purposes depending on the user's intent, ranging from routine system maintenance and privacy protection to anti-forensic activities used by both attackers and ethical hackers alike to hide their tracks. |
| [ Misc ] |
Miscellaneous stuff for anything. |
| [ Reversing Tools ] |
Specialized software used to deconstruct compiled programs to understand their inner workings, often in the absence of original source code. These tools are critical for malware analysis, vulnerability discovery, and software auditing. |
| [ Scanners ] |
Automated software solutions designed to identify, assess, and prioritize security weaknesses across an organization's digital environment. These tools systematically examine assets - ranging from networks and servers to web applications and cloud infrastructure - to detect flaws before they can be exploited by attackers. |
| [ Shellcode Utilities ] |
Various tools used for the generation and analysis of shellcode, ranging from payload creation frameworks to detailed static and dynamic analysis debuggers. These tools help security professionals understand and mitigate threats involving malicious machine code snippets. |
| [ Vulnerability Databases ] |
These Vulnerability Databases (VDBs) are centralized, frequently updated repositories that collect, catalog, and disseminate detailed information on computer security flaws in software and hardware. These databases provide unique identifiers (like CVEs), security scores (e.g., CVSS), and remediation advice to help security teams identify, prioritize, and fix risks before exploitation. |
| [ Wireless Hack Tools ] |
These wireless hack tools are specialized software and hardware that are designed to assess the security of radio-based networks, including WiFi, Bluetooth, and IoT protocols. These tools identify vulnerabilities such as weak encryption ciphers, misconfigured Access Points, and rogue devices. |
