Top 15 Free Hacking Tools1. Nmap
Nmap (“Network Mapper”) is a free and open source (license) utility for network discovery and
security auditing. Nmap uses raw IP packets in novel ways to determine what hosts are available
on the network, what services (application name and version) those hosts are offering, what
operating systems (and OS versions) they are running, what type of packet filters/firewalls are in
use, and dozens of other characteristics. Nmap homepage.
2. Wireshark
Wireshark is a network protocol analyzer. It lets you capture and interactively browse the traffic
running on a computer network. Wireshark homepage.
3. Metasploit Community edition
Metasploit Community Edition simplifies network discovery and vulnerability verification for
specific exploits, increasing the effectiveness of vulnerability scanners. This helps prioritize
remediation and eliminate false positives, providing true security risk intelligence. Metasploit
community edition homepage.
4. Nikto2
Nikto is an Open Source (GPL) web server scanner which performs comprehensive tests against
web servers for multiple items, including over 6400 potentially dangerous files/CGIs, checks for
outdated versions of over 1200 servers, and version specific problems on over 270 servers. It
also checks for server configuration items such as the presence of multiple index files, HTTP
server options, and will attempt to identify installed web servers and software. Nikto2
homepage.
5. John the Ripper
John the Ripper is a fast password cracker, currently available for many flavors of Unix, Windows,
DOS, BeOS, and OpenVMS. Its primary purpose is to detect weak Unix passwords. Besides
several crypt(3) password hash types most commonly found on various Unix systems, supported
out of the box are Windows LM hashes, plus lots of other hashes and ciphers in the community-
enhanced version. John the Ripper homepage.
6. ettercap
Ettercap is a comprehensive suite for man in the middle attacks. It features sniffing of live
connections, content filtering on the fly and many other interesting tricks. It supports active and
passive dissection of many protocols and includes many features for network and host
analysis. ettercap homepage.
7. NexPose Community edition
The Nexpose Community Edition is a free, single-user vulnerability management solution.
Nexpose Community Edition is powered by the same scan engine as Nexpose Enterprise and
offers many of the same features. Nexpose homepage.
8. Ncat
Ncat is a feature-packed networking utility which reads and writes data across networks from the
command line. Ncat was written for the Nmap Project as a much-improved reimplementation of
the venerable Netcat. It uses both TCP and UDP for communication and is designed to be a
reliable back-end tool to instantly provide network connectivity to other applications and users.
Ncat will not only work with IPv4 and IPv6 but provides the user with a virtually limitless number
of potential uses. ncat homepage.
9. Kismet
Kismet is an 802.11 layer2 wireless network detector, sniffer, and intrusion detection system.
Kismet will work with any wireless card which supports raw monitoring (rfmon) mode, and (with
appropriate hardware) can sniff 802.11b, 802.11a, 802.11g, and 802.11n traffic. Kismet also
supports plugins which allow sniffing other media such as DECT. kismet homepage.
10. w3af
w3af is a Web Application Attack and Audit Framework. The project’s goal is to create a
framework to find and exploit web application vulnerabilities that is easy to use and extend. w3af
homepage.
11. hping
hping is a command-line oriented TCP/IP packet assembler/analyzer. The interface is inspired to
the ping(8) unix command, but hping isn’t only able to send ICMP echo requests. It supports
TCP, UDP, ICMP and RAW-IP protocols, has a traceroute mode, the ability to send files between
a covered channel, and many other features. hping homepage.
12. burpsuite
Burp Suite is an integrated platform for performing security testing of web applications. Its various
tools work seamlessly together to support the entire testing process, from initial mapping and
analysis of an application’s attack surface, through to finding and exploiting security
vulnerabilities. BurpSuite homepage.
13. THC-Hydra
A very fast network logon cracker which support many different services. hydra homepage.
14. sqlmap
sqlmap is an open source penetration testing tool that automates the process of detecting and
exploiting SQL injection flaws and taking over of database servers. It comes with a powerful
detection engine, many niche features for the ultimate penetration tester and a broad range of
switches lasting from database fingerprinting, over data fetching from the database, to accessing
the underlying file system and executing commands on the operating system via out-of-band
connections. sqlmap homepage.
15. webscarab
WebScarab has a large amount of functionality, and as such can be quite intimidating to the new
user. But, for the simplest case, intercepting and modifying requests and responses between a
browser and HTTP/S server, there is not a lot that needs to be learned. WebScarab
homepage.
