VeraCrypt
Open source disk encryption with strong security for the Paranoid
VeraCrypt is a free disk encryption software brought to you by IDRIX (https://www.idrix.fr) and based on TrueCrypt 7.1a. It adds enhanced security to the algorithms used for system and partitions encryption making it immune to new developments in brute-force attacks. It also solves many vulnerabilities and security issues found in TrueCrypt. This enhanced security adds some delay ONLY to the opening of encrypted partitions without any performance impact to the application use phase. This is acceptable to the legitimate owner but it makes it much harder for an attacker to gain access to the encrypted data. All released files are PGP signed with key ID=0x680D16DE, available on key servers and downloadable at https://www.idrix.fr/VeraCrypt/VeraCrypt_PGP_public_key.asc VeraCrypt can mount TrueCrypt volumes. It also can convert them to VeraCrypt format.

ZAP
The OWASP ZAP core project
The OWASP Zed Attack Proxy (ZAP) is one of the world’s most popular free security tools and is actively maintained by a dedicated international team of volunteers. It can help you automatically find security vulnerabilities in your web applications while you are developing and testing your applications. It's also a great tool for experienced pentesters to use for manual security testing. ZAP is an easy to use integrated penetration testing tool for finding vulnerabilities in web applications. It is designed to be used by people with a wide range of security experience and as such is ideal for developers and functional testers who are new to penetration testing. ZAP provides automated scanners as well as a set of tools that allow you to find security vulnerabilities manually. It stands between the tester’s browser and the web application so that it can intercept and inspect messages sent between browser and web application. -

thc-hydra
Shows how easy it would be to gain unauthorized access to a system
Number one of the biggest security holes are passwords, as every password security study shows. This tool is a proof of concept code, to give researchers and security consultants the possibility to show how easy it would be to gain unauthorized access from remote to a system. There are already several login hacker tools available, however, none does either support more than one protocol to attack or support parallelized connects. It was tested to compile cleanly on Linux, Windows/Cygwin, Solaris, FreeBSD/OpenBSD, QNX (Blackberry 10) and MacOS. However the module engine for new services is very easy so it won't take a long time until even more services are supported. Via the command line options you specify which logins to try, which passwords, if SSL should be used, how many parallel tasks to use for attacking, etc. PROTOCOL is the protocol you want to use for attacking, e.g. ftp, smtp, http-get or many others are available. -

Wi-Fi Cracking
Crack WPA Wi-Fi routers with Airodump-ng and Aircrack-ng Hashcat
Crack Wi-Fi networks that are secured using weak passwords. It is not exhaustive, but it should be enough information for you to test your own network's security or break into one nearby. Begin by listing wireless interfaces that support monitor mode. If you do not see an interface listed then your wireless card does not support monitor mode. Start listening to 802.11 Beacon frames broadcast by nearby wireless routers using your monitor interface. WPA/WPA2 uses a 4-way handshake to authenticate devices to the network. You don't have to know anything about what that means, but you do have to capture one of these handshakes in order to crack the network password. These handshakes occur whenever a device connects to the network. The final step is to crack the password using the captured handshake. If you have access to a GPU, it is highly recommended to use hashcat for password cracking. -

an extremely buggy web app !
bWAPP, or a buggy web application, is a free and open source deliberately insecure web application. bWAPP helps security enthusiasts, developers and students to discover and to prevent web vulnerabilities. bWAPP prepares one to conduct successful penetration testing and ethical hacking projects. What makes bWAPP so unique? Well, it has over 100 web bugs! It covers all major known web vulnerabilities, including all risks from the OWASP Top 10 project. The focus is not just on one specific issue... bWAPP is covering a wide range of vulnerabilities! bWAPP is a PHP application that uses a MySQL database. It can be hosted on Linux/Windows with Apache/IIS and MySQL. It is supported on WAMP or XAMPP. Another possibility is to download bee-box, a custom VM pre-installed with bWAPP. This project is part of the ITSEC GAMES project. You can find more about the ITSEC GAMES and bWAPP projects on our blog. For security-testing and educational purposes only! Cheers Malik Mesellem -

SimpleX
The first messaging platform operating without user identifiers
Other apps have user IDs: Signal, Matrix, Session, Briar, Jami, Cwtch, etc. SimpleX does not, not even random numbers. This radically improves your privacy. The video shows how you connect to your friend via their 1-time QR-code, in person or via a video link. You can also connect by sharing an invitation link. Temporary anonymous pairwise identifiers SimpleX uses temporary anonymous pairwise addresses and credentials for each user contact or group member. It allows to deliver messages without user profile identifiers, providing better meta-data privacy than alternatives. Many communication platforms are vulnerable to MITM attacks by servers or network providers. To prevent it SimpleX apps pass one-time keys out-of-band when you share an address as a link or a QR code. Double-ratchet protocol. OTR messaging with perfect forward secrecy and break-in recovery. NaCL cryptobox in each queue to prevent traffic correlation between message queues if TLS is compromised. -

Brook
Brook is a cross-platform strong encryption and not detectable proxy
Brook is a cross-platform strong encryption and not detectable proxy. Brook's goal is to keep it simple, stupid and not detectable. You can run commands after entering the command-line interface. Usually, everyone uses the command line interface on Linux servers. Of course, Linux also has desktops that can also run GUI. Of course, macOS and Windows also have command-line interfaces, but you may not use them frequently. Usually, the applications opened by double-clicking/clicking on macOS/Windows/iOS/Android are all GUIs. Usually, if you use Brook, you will need a combination of Server and Client, Of course Brook CLI also has many other independent functions. The Brook CLI file is an independent command file, it can be said that there is no concept of installation, just download this file to your computer, run it after granting it executable permissions in the command line interface. -

Wfuzz
Web application fuzzer
Wfuzz provides a framework to automate web applications security assessments and could help you to secure your web applications by finding and exploiting web application vulnerabilities. Wfuzz it is based on a simple concept: it replaces any reference to the FUZZ keyword by the value of a given payload. A payload in Wfuzz is a source of data. This simple concept allows any input to be injected in any field of an HTTP request, allowing to perform complex web security attacks in different web application components such as: parameters, authentication, forms, directories/files, headers, etc. -

Kraken tool
Kraken: A multi-platform distributed brute-force password cracking
Kraken is an online distributed brute force password cracking tool. It allows you to parallelize dictionaries and crunch word generator-based cracking across multiple machines both as a web app in a web browser and as a standalone electron-based client. Kraken aims to be easy to use, fault-tolerant and scalable. Kraken is a dockerized application using docker-compose which will launch the db (Postgres), s3-compliant file storage (Minio), the server and the browser client. You can find the docker-compose file in the root directory of the repository. To upload password lists or dictionaries, upload them to Minio Console at localhost:9001. View the steps explained for a detailed guide Otherwise, you can generate word lists dynamically using crunch. Window EXE portable client needs to run in the folder with its hashcat dependencies. Hashcat files can be downloaded from their home page.
