The Live Hacking CD
is packed with tools and utilities for ethical hacking, penetration
testing and countermeasure verification. The CD includes hacking
tools for DNS, reconnaissance, foot-printing (gathering information
about computers on the network), password cracking, network
sniffing, spoofing (or masquerading) and wireless networking
utilities.
Here is a list of the hacking tools you can find on the Live
Hacking CD:
Reconnaissance
(and DNS)
- Dig - DNS lookup utility
- DNSMap - DNS mapping is a
mechanism which allows hosts on a private LAN to use DNS Services even if the
address of an actual DNS Server is unknown.
- DNSTracer - Trace DNS queries to
the source
- DNSWalk - Checks DNS zone
information using nameserver lookups
- Netmask - Helps determine network
masks
- Relay Scanner - This program is
used to test SMTP servers for Relaying problems
- TCPTraceroute - Traceroute
implementation using TCP packets
- Firewalk - Firewalk is a network
auditing tool that attempts to determine what transport protocols a given
gateway will pass.
Foot-printing
- Amap - Performs fast and reliable
application protocol detection, independent of the TCP/UDP port they are being
bound to.
- Curl - Get a file from an HTTP,
HTTPS or FTP server
- Fping - Sends ICMP ECHO_REQUEST
packets to network hosts
- Hping3 - Active Network Smashing
Tool
- HTTprint - A web server
fingerprinting tool
- Ike-Scan - IPsec VPN scanning,
fingerprinting and testing tool
- MetoScan - HTTP method scanner
- Namp - The Network Mapper
- Netcat - TCP/IP swiss army knife
- P0f - Passive OS fingerprinting
and masquerade detection utility
- Zenmap - The Network Mapper Front
End
Password
Cracking
- Chntpw - NT SAM password recovery
utility
- Rainbowcrack – Crack LM, MD5 and
SHA1 hashes
- THC PPTP Bruter - A brute forcing
program against PPTP VPN endpoints (TCP port 1723)
- VNCrack – Crack VNC passwords
- John the ripper - A fast password
cracker
Network
Sniffing
- DHCP Dump – DHCP packet dumper
- Dsniff – Password sniffer
- SSLDump – Dump SSL traffic on a
network
- Ntop – Displays top network users
- Wireshark – Interactively dump
and analyze network traffic
Spoofing (or
Masquerading)
- File2cable - Sends a file as a
raw ethernet frame

editor
- Sing – Send ICMP Nasty Garbage
packets to network hosts
- TCPreplay – Replay network
traffic stored in pcap files
Wireless
Networking Utilities
- Aircrack-ng - Aircrack-ng is an
802.11 WEP and WPA-PSK keys cracking program that can recover keys once enough
data packets have been captured.
- Kismet – Wireless sniffing and
monitoring
- THC Leap Cracker - The THC LEAP
Cracker Tool suite contains tools to break the NTChallengeResponse encryption
technique e.g. used by Cisco Wireless LEAP Authentication.
- WEPCrack - WEPCrack is an open
source tool for breaking 802.11 WEP secret keys.
- WIDZ - Wireless Intrusion
Detection System
- Cowpatty - Brute-force dictionary
attack against WPA-PSK
Miscellaneous
