My Personal Top 10 Hacking softwares
There have been a lot of tools floating around the web who claim to be the best in their respective fields.
I have used many hacking tools that are built for both windows and linux platform and have seen that the linux tools are far more powerful than the windows tools. Keeping this thing in mind i thought to compile my list to those softwares that work well for both the platform and perform similar features.
The list has some new names compared to those in last years blog. I have also provided a download link of all the ten softwares compiled in a single zipped file to ease the downloading.
1.Nmap
Nmap ,by far is the best security scanning and hacking tool ever made. This software tops every list of top hacking softwares for its two reasons. Firstly,its ease of use and secondly,its wide usage.
It provides a wide range of features like port scanning, fingureprinting, os detection , ping , scanning an IP range , alive hosts etc. It has a rich command mode for advanced users which can combine several commands together to execute ones. Its the most recomended tool for new as well as advanced learners and security experts. It hosts its google opensource project every year. Download the zip.
2.SuperScan
Powerful TCP port scanner, pinger, resolver. SuperScan 4 is an update of the highly popular Windows port scanning tool, SuperScan. If you need an alternative for nmap on Windows with a decent interface, I
suggest you check this out, it’s pretty nice. It provides a cool scanning experience with lot of information displayed .Downlaod the zip
3.Cain and Abel
My personal favourite for password cracking of any kind.
Cain & Abel is a password recovery tool for Microsoft Operating Systems. It allows easy recovery of various kind of passwords by sniffing the network, cracking encrypted passwords using Dictionary, Brute-Force and Cryptanalysis attacks, recording VoIP conversations, decoding scrambled passwords, revealing password boxes, uncovering cached passwords and analyzing routing protocols.
The program does not exploit any software vulnerabilities or bugs that could not be fixed with little effort.Download The Zip
4.John The Riper
This is my personal favourite password cracking which has been in the market for over a decade and it has evolved into a powerful tool because of the special effort of the open source community.John the Ripper is a fast password cracker, currently available for many flavors of Unix (11 are officially supported, not counting different architectures), DOS, Win32, 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 flavors, supported out of the box are Kerberos AFS and Windows NT/2000/XP/2003 LM hashes, plus several more with contributed patches. Download the zip
5.fsCrack
FSCrack is a front end for John the Ripper (JtR) that provides a graphical user interface (GUI) for access to most of JtR’s functions.It increases the functionality of JTR and provides a detailed report of password cracking . The working is similar to JTR by using the SAM file of windows to crack the admin password. Download the zip
6.Nessus Security Scanner
This tool has been the best tool for both network administrators and hackers because of its wide implimentation.The Nessus® vulnerability scanner is the world-leader in active scanners, featuring high-speed discovery, configuration auditing, asset profiling, sensitive data discovery and vulnerability analysis of your security posture. Nessus scanners can be distributed throughout an entire enterprise, inside DMZs and across physically separate networks. Download the zip
7.Wireshark
Wireshark is a GTK+-based network protocol analyzer, or sniffer, that lets you capture and interactively browse the contents of network frames. The goal of the project is to create a commercial-quality analyzer for Unix and to give Wireshark features that are missing from closed-source sniffers. Works great on both Linux and Windows (with a GUI), easy to use and can reconstruct TCP/IP Streams!. Download the zip
8.Live Bulk Mailer
Live bulk mailer has the ability to still deface the spam filter of gmail,hotmail and yahoo. Its an email flooding tool that allows the attacker to send desired number of bulk mails to the victim inbox and flood it completely. This can be an annoying task and can also put you into trouble so before using this tool dont forget to use a proxy server to hide your IP address. Download the zip
9.Website Digger
Website digger is a tool that helps you to digg into a website and gain information about the host by applying whois query and also banner grabbing capability. This tool is useful while defacing a webpage. Download the zip
10.PuTTY
PuTTY is a free implementation of Telnet and SSH for Win32 and Unix platforms, along with an xterm terminal emulator. A must have for any h4. 0r wanting to telnet or SSH from Windows without having to use the crappy default MS command line clients.

Oracle Buys Sun Microsystems
Tuesday, April 21, 2009: Oracle Corporation has agreed to buy California-headquartered Sun Microsystems in a $7.4 billion (or $9.50 per share) deal. Sun's acquisition by Oracle caught many in the industry by surprise as the deal came just two weeks after IBM abandoned its bid to buy Sun. According to analysts, the deal strengthens Oracle's position against IBM and HP for dominance of the server and storage markets.
Kapil Dev Singh, country manager, IDC India, said, "The Oracle-Sun merger brings together two strong brands with strengths in software and hardware space with the combined entity aspiring to make a mark in the enterprise IT space. Sun's strong computing platform and Oracle's middleware and database platforms will make Oracle's IT infrastructure offering stronger. What brings added value is their consolidated face as part of the bigger IT infrastructure offering in an environment where individually these components are a commodity."
"Oracle-Sun's competitive positioning in telecom and BFSI space will strengthen as individually both players have a strong presence in these segments that contribute about one-third of India's domestic IT market. The challenge for the merged entity lies in how well it can convince CIOs keen on leveraging their IT investments that is completely a services play. With applications, middleware and hardware piece in place, the services capability seems to be missing. This is important considering that the IT consolidation wave in enterprise space in general, and telecom and BFSI segments in particular, is slowly giving way to IT leverage wave. This deal seems to be little late from that perspective," he added.
There are substantial long-term customer advantages to Oracle owning two key Sun software assets: Java and Solaris. Java is one of the most widely deployed technologies, and it is the most important software Oracle has ever acquired. Oracle Fusion Middleware, Oracle’s fastest growing business, is built on top of Sun’s Java language and software. Oracle can now ensure continued investment in Java technology for the benefit of customers and the Java community.
The Sun Solaris operating system is claimed to be the leading platform for the Oracle database, Oracle’s largest business, and has been for a long time. With the acquisition of Sun, Oracle can optimise the Oracle database for some of the high-end features of Solaris. Oracle says it is as committed as ever to Linux and other open platforms and will continue to support and enhance our strong industry partnerships.
“We expect this acquisition to be accretive to Oracle’s earnings by at least 15 cents on a non-GAAP basis in the first full year after closing. We estimate that the acquired business will contribute over $1.5 billion to Oracle’s non-GAAP operating profit in the first year, increasing to over $2 billion in the second year. This would make the Sun acquisition more profitable in per share contribution in the first year than we had planned for the acquisitions of BEA, PeopleSoft and Siebel combined,” said Safra Catz, president, Oracle.
“The acquisition of Sun transforms the IT industry, combining best-in-class enterprise software and mission-critical computing systems,” said Larry Ellison, CEO, Oracle. “Oracle will be the only company that can engineer an integrated system – applications to disk – where all the pieces fit and work together so customers do not have to do it themselves. Our customers benefit as their systems integration costs go down while system performance, reliability and security go up.”
“Oracle and Sun have been industry pioneers and close partners for more than 20 years,” said Sun Chairman Scott McNealy. “This combination is a natural evolution of our relationship and will be an industry-defining event.”
Jonathan Schwartz, CEO, Sun, “From the Java platform touching nearly every business system on earth, powering billions of consumers on mobile handsets and consumer electronics, to the convergence of storage, networking and computing driven by the Solaris operating system and Sun’s SPARC and x64 systems. Together with Oracle, we’ll drive the innovation pipeline to create compelling value to our customer base and the marketplace.”
The board of directors of Sun Microsystems has unanimously approved the transaction. It is anticipated to close this summer, subject to Sun stockholder approval, certain regulatory approvals and customary closing conditions.

How to Watch YouTube Videos While Working on other Tasks

You plan to watch a lengthy video clip on YouTube but the problem is that you have lot of other stuff to do and therefore can’t focus all the attention on just one video. You need to browse web pages, check emails in Outlook and maybe complete that presentation while the video plays on your screen.
Fortunately, this is possible with a simple hack - just decide where that video should be placed.
You can either watch the YouTube video from the Firefox sidebar or, if you are working with other application or don’t use Firefox, create a standalone YouTube player window and move it anywhere on the desktop in Always on Top mode. See screenshots.
Case 1. YouTube Player inside the Firefox Sidebar

Case 2. YouTube Player on top of other Windows

Here are the steps involved for either of the methods discussed above.
1. Get the full screen mode address of the YouTube video clip. It is something like www.youtube.com/v/ABC where ABC is the YouTube video ID.
For instance, if the YouTube video is located at www.youtube.com/watch?v=8bZ9z6BBMVY, the full screen player will be available at www.youtube.com/v/8bZ9z6BBMVY
2a. To watch the video in Firefox sidebar, bookmark that new YouTube address and check the "Load in Sidebar" property of the bookmark as shown in the screenshot.

2b: To watch the video in a standalone player, open a new browser window and copy-paste the YouTube address THAT you generated in step 1. Now resize the browser window to fit the player, activate the Always on Top program (download link) and press Ctrl + Spacebar to make sure that YouTube player stays in the foreground. That’s it.
Notes: While you may also use the regular YouTube video URL in either of these cases, the experience won’t be so great.
Open docx Files in Firefox without Office 2007
If you like to open .docx files without Office Word 2007, there’s a new Firefox extension from Microsoft that should help. Available for Windows as well as Linux machines.

Called OpenXML viewer, this plug-in (download link) lets you read docx files inside the Firefox browser just like any other HTML web page while retaining all the text formatting and layout.
There’s a command-line version of OpenXML viewer (download link) available as well for converting docx documents into HTML files that you may then open in any other web browser.
Other alternatives for reading docx files without Microsoft Office 2007 include Internet Explorer, Gmail, Email, Word viewer and the converter for Mac.

My Favorite Firefox Addons

I read an article on the internet a couple of days back regarding the top addons for the Firefox web browser. This article prompted me to list down the number of addons I had installed for firefox over the times and the result was well… staggering
1. StumbleUpon Toolbar
(Download from : https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/138)
StumbleUpon (http://www.stumbleupon.com) is a social networking site.. a great social networking site which helps you discover new links from various topics from food to technology to politics. And SU is the one of the first social networking sites to which I was hooked to. What SU does, is to provide platforms to share web links on various topics, review websites, meet people who share similar interests and exchange web links with them.
Firefox supports the SU toolbar which is one of the first reason why using SU is so fun and easy. The SU toolbar provides option to stumble upon wide range of topics. If you want to stumble the sites of a fellow stumbler (well thats what users of SU are called) then type in the name and you are ready to go. If you like a website then click on “I Like it” so that some one else who wants to see your favorite sites can stumble upon this link. For a newly discovered site, the toolbar displays a window which allows you to write a review and select a label. Really easy!!!! Also with notifications of messages and with keyboard shortcuts, stumbling is really easy!!!
2. Meebo Addon
(Download from : https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/5700)
Meebo(http://www.meebo.com) is a site which provides simultaneous login into your GTalk, Yahoo, AIM, MSN and many other IM accounts.. Apart from that meebo provides great applications like online games, file sharing, video chat among others.. With no downloads required whatsoever Meebo is truly an innovative step towards instant messaging.
But what makes Meebo more like-able for me is the Meebo addon with the Firefox. Meebo Addon provides features like automatic login when you open the browser window, message alert, user login alert. These notifications are not present otherwise and this addon really helps you by giving alerts when you are also doing some other work.
3. Firebug
(Download from : https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/1843)
Firebug is another firefox addon which basically allows you to inspect and also edit the CSS, JavaScript, DOM among others.
I wont write anything else.. this small and a very novice tweak will make you programming buddies fall in love with Firebug.

4. GreaseMonkey
(Download from : https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/748)
Millions of downloads and Millions of articles over the internet later GreaseMonkey is one of the most discussed and sought after addon by Mozilla.
This is just another small paragraph in the legacy of GreaseMonkey
GreaseMonkey is one of the most downloaded addon of firefox. GreaseMonkey allows you to customize your web page by making changes to the HTML or the Java Script code. A user can add his own functionality and can reload the page to see the effect immediately. Users can write codes which can range from popup blockers, to Javascript functionalities like providing RSS feeds option. What basically greasemonkey does for a JavaScript/JScript programmer is to customize the web according to the liking of the user.
5. Cool Iris Previews
(Download from : https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/2207)
Cool Iris Previews is another cool addon from Firefox. What Cool Iris does is pretty simple, when you move your mouse over a certain link a Cool Iris icon comes near that link. Moving you mouse over that icon will open the corresponding link. Really useful when you use FireFox like me with three widows open and about 10 tabs in each of them trying to access a web page. Opening another tab or another window is not going to be convenient.. Cool Iris comes in handy at this time. Apart from this, Cool Iris provides other functionalities like sharing of web links to your friends. Cool Iris also provides Google and Wikipedia search by selecting the text on the web page and right clicking the mouse. A stack option is available in Cool Iris which is a temporary bookmark option available.
6. Thumbstrips
(Download from : https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/5045)
Yet another bookmark addon is Thumbstrip. What makes Thumbstrip a download option is that it stores thumbnail images of the websites visited by you. So next time you need to revisit a previously visited link, simply open the Thumbstrip toolbar and select the website. So now there is no need to remember the names of the link. Thumbstrip also gives you the relative time as to when the website was previoisly opened, so searching becomes more easy.
7. Google Preview
(Download from : https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/189)
Another interesting addon from FireFox is Google Preview. Google Preview gives you thumbnail images of websites along with the Google search results on the same page. And why is it beneficial? Well for people who continuously search something on the internet and if they previously found a solution to their problems but failed to save the webpage, then sometimes looking at the image along with the generated results helps them in going back to their webpage. I installed this addon when I faced the same problem a couple of times. And trust me its really useful.
8. Hyperwords
(Download from :https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/1941)
Hyperwords is another very useful addon from FireFox. Its really simple to use, what you have to do is just highlight the text and immediately a drop down comes which gives you options like Google Search, Images search from Flicker, Google, etc.. People search from Facebook, Myspace etc.. Maps search. You can also search Wikipedia, TV.com and if the highlighted text is a name of a company then you can also view the stock details and the financial details of the company. Apart from this hyperwords also translates web pages, share web pages and even blog it. If the selected item is an accessory then hyperwords also gives you an option to search Ebay, Amazon etc.
Truly one of the most useful addons by Firefox
9. Read it later
(Download from : https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/6000)
Another simple addon is the Read It Later. What you simply need to do is right click on the web page and select the option Read It Later. This option will save the webpage link inside the bookmarks folder. A simple and easy utility
10. Flash Got
(Download from : https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/220)
FlashGot is another useful addon while downloading from the internet. FlashGot allows the user to select a pre-installed download manager as a default download manager. So instead of using the inbuilt download facility from FireFox now you can set Free Download Manager or Download Accelerator Plus for standard downloading and BitComet or Azureus for torrent related downloads. FlashGot also allows the user to select multiple links at the same time and download all of them at once.
11. Tab Effect
(Download from : https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/4258)
Tab Effect is another cool addon which helps you add effects while changing tabs. No special advantage apart from that. I basically downloaded this so that I could impress my friends…
12. Shareaholic
(Download from : https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/5457)
Ok we have Digg Toolbar and StumbleUpon Toolbar..how about now having an addon which allows you to share links across sites like Twitter, Facebook, Del.icio.us etc. Thats precisely what Shareaholic provides. Once you open a web page and you feel like this web page is worth submitting around the social bookmarking sites then simple click on the Shareaholic button, a drop down window comes which will show you whether the page has already been submitted to a corresponding site. If not simply click the website to which you want to submit the link. A simple registration will allow you to share this web page to your friends via email..
So there you go a list of..12 addons from Firefox. All these firefox addons just make my surfing a better experience….
