Do you know the Top hacking tools for every ethical hacker?
What tools are available on the Internet to crack passwords, search for vulnerabilities and bypass operating systems?
When can hacking tools be legal?
Hacking tools should be forbidden!
Breaking into foreign systems is not permitted without permission. It often happens that companies lock themselves out of their own systems, the system admin forgets the password or the system can no longer be reached conventionally.
Hacking tools are made for this purpose. Criminals often use the same tools – but they have a different goal.
A chef uses a knife to prepare food. A criminal uses a knife to stab his victims. The knife is a computer scientist’s hacking tool.
Password cracker hacking tools
The password crackers use the ethical hackers to gain access to the systems from which the system admin has forgotten the password or has locked himself out.
Cracking Passwords with Bruteforce – Distributed Password Recovery
ElcomSoft cracks up to 300 file types using CPU and GPU acceleration to brute force the password . The software uses several computers in parallel for cracking. The software can be run remotely.

Offline NT overwrites the Windows password on the hard drive so you can change it.
Reversed password guessing with rainbow tables – RainbowCrack
With the rainbow tables , the ethical hackers try to guess the password based on the given cryptographic hash. In some cases this is faster than a normal brute force attack.
Make data visible in password hash – hashcat
If you want to crack passwords professionally, use hashcat . With the use of parallelism (multithreading) on CPUs, the software is better than most rule-based brute force tools.

Find and test all vulnerabilities – Vulnerabilities with Metasploit
Metasploit is used to exploit and validate vulnerabilities . The program helps penetration testers with secure coding.
The procedure looks like this:
- create project
- Get data about your goal
- vulnerability search
- Place a digital bug
- Exploit known vulnerabilities
- undo exploit vulnerabilities
- Create a report
WiFi crackers
Use every WLAN for free – Aircrack ng
As written in my WiFi cracking tutorial , Aircrack-NG is suitable for breaking WiFi encryption. An external Wifi adapter is often necessary for the computer.
Where are open WLANs? – Kismet
The Kismet software searches for WiFi devices , serves as an Internet sniffer and recognizes Bluetooth signals. Using such software, hackers scour cities in order to misuse open WLANs for their own purposes or to inform the owner of the risk.
Man-in-the-Middle Praxis Tool – Ettercap
Man in the middle in real life? You want more than the theoretical stuff? Use Ettercap ! If a person intercepts the signal during transmission (hotspot laptop “Starbucks Coffee Public Wlan”), the hacker can read your Internet traffic under certain conditions.
Network scanners
Do we have an intruder on our web?
Is there a hacker mini-server on our network spying on our network?

Every server has weak points! You just have to find the weak points! To find the right entrance, use port scanner. The server must use one of the 63000+ doors to interact with the outside world.
Network Whole Vulnerability Scanner – Nessus
How do I find vulnerabilities over the network? Do I have an old, forgotten Windows 95 box somewhere in the company? An outdated backup server? Or an unpatched SmartHome fridge that executes DDoS attacks? Nessus finds all vulnerabilities in the web!
Scan the entire Internet – Massscan
Massscan claims they can scan the internet at 10 million packets per second in 5 minutes. For in-depth analysis, nmap is better thought.
Mobile network and chess scanner – termux
If you are looking for a hacking tools for Android smartphone, you have come to the right place with the termux app . The app can perform network mapping, vulnerability scans, password cracking and man-in-the-middle attacks.
Enterprise Risk Scanner – zbang tool
With zbang you can determine the risk in your company by recognizing possible admin accounts and scanning the network. If you use the tool, your company’s infrastructure should be more visible.
What’s on the network? Network Scanner – Angry IP Scanner
Angry IP Scanner can scan the Internet or local networks. Set an IP range, export the results and assess your network.
Sonstige Hacking Tools
Viewing and Modifying Protected Code – Resource Hacker
Software Resource Hacker can decompress .exe and .dll files so you can modify the code. Criminal hackers deliver their program as a Trojan or virus. Modify the GUI, functionality, security restrictions, update mechanisms, etc. of the target program with the Resource Hacker program.
Delete Data Forever – DBAN
When you delete files in the recycle bin, they are not deleted, just marked as deleted. The DBAN software guarantees a secure deletion solution by overwriting the deleted file with zeros.
Forgot your password in the code? Password Tracker – truffleHog
Have you ever forgotten a password in the code? Many Github repos contain passwords that the developers “actually” never wanted uploaded. The nimble software TruffleHog finds all high entropy strings (mostly passwords) in a repo.
