Airsnort
AirSnort is a wireless LAN (WLAN) tool which recovers encryption keys. AirSnort operates by passively monitoring transmissions, computing the encryption key when enough packets have been gathered.
Aircrack
The aircrack suite is an excellent collection of tools written by Christophe Devine to perform packet capture, packet injection and WEP/WPA cracking.
anwrap (Leapcrack)
anwrap is a wrapper for ancontrol that serves as a dictionary attack tool against LEAP enabled Cisco Wireless Networks. It traverses a user list and password list attempting authentication and logging the results to a file.
chopchop
WEP cracker which uses the AP to decipher packets. Easiest one are ARP’s. Takes 10-20s. Included within patches for wlan-ng to inject packets in monitor mode.
FakeAP
Black Alchemy’s Fake AP generates thousands of counterfeit 802.11b access points. Hide in plain sight amongst Fake AP’s cacophony of beacon frames. As part of a honeypot or as an instrument of your site security plan, Fake AP confuses Wardrivers, NetStumblers, Script Kiddies, and other undesirables.
WepAttack
WepAttack is a WLAN open source Linux tool for breaking 802.11 WEP keys. This tool is based on an active dictionary attack that tests millions of words to find the right key. Only one packet is required to start an attack.
WEPcrack
WEPCrack is an open source tool for breaking 802.11 WEP secret keys. This tool is is an implementation of the attack described by Fluhrer, Mantin, and Shamir in the paper “Weaknesses in the Key Scheduling Algorithm of RC4″
WepDecrypt
Wepdecrypt is a Wireless LAN Tool written in c which guesses WEP Keys based on a active dictionary attack, key generator, distributed network attack and some other methods, it’s based on wepattack and GPL licensed.
weplab
Weplab is a tool to review the security of WEP encryption in wireless networks from an educational point of view. Several attacks are available so it can be measured the efectiveness and minimun requirements of each one.
WEPWedgie
WEPWedgie is a toolkit for determining 802.11 WEP keystreams and injecting traffic with known keystreams. The toolkit also includes logic for firewall rule mapping, pingscanning, and portscanning via the injection channel and a cellular modem.
Leap
Omerta
THC-LEAPcracker

This site was reccently hacked….why? SEO

Believe it or not this site was hacked. And, the strange part about it is that if you were to look at it in its hacked state it would have looked completely normal, from the outside no changes were visible. However, after looking at the HTML’s source code you would have seen close to a thousand links hidden from the public’s view using CSS.

I know some of you are thinking, why?? Why would anyone want to hack a site just to post hidden links? Links you can’t see, don’t get clicked, right? Yes that’s right, but these links aren’t supposed to be clicked, these links were there for the sole intent of being picked up by Search Engines like Google.

Why would anyone go to such an extent to post a link for Google to find? SEO, Search Engine Optimization is the method of changing a series of factors to get your web site ranked higher in search engines. One of the most important aspects of SEO are links pointing to your web site. Therefore it is easy to understand why some black hat SEOs will hack a blog to post more links that will benefit them.

How can we protect our sites and blogs from this type of attack? Well, if you have a WordPress blog you need to make your way over to a post that thet amazing Donna Fontenot wrote at SEO Scoop. Thanks to Donna for this awsome post and her constant reminder to keep our WordPress up to date!

Who ever developed this, should be castrated! I spent all day today trying to get this bullshit off a user’s machine. I am so pissed! up until this point i hadn’t really felt much aggression towards those that write trojans. But this piece of shit really pushed me over the edge! it seemed as in everything I did didn’t work! I was beginning to consider a new line of work towards the end of the day!

Breaking disk encryption with RAM dumps

Some of you may know that computer security and hacking has always been a big interest of mine. This movie explains a relatively new technique used to crack disk encryptions. While I think that the idea and theory is amazing, I think that the makers of the video misrepresent the password feature on Windows machines. While disk encryption does exist for Vista users that is not the premise for the password feature, which can easily be hacked using Ophcrack.
