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.

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.

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

Wireshark is a GTK+-based network protocol analyzer, or sniffer, that lets you capture and interactively browse the contents of network frames.
