Ethereal is a free network protocol analyzer for Unix and Windows. Ethereal has several powerful features, including a rich display filter language and the ability to view the reconstructed stream of a TCP session.
Netcat has been dubbed the network swiss army knife. It is a simple Unix utility which reads and writes data across network connections, using TCP or UDP protocol
DNSiff is a collection of tools for network auditing and penetration testing. dsniff, filesnarf, mailsnarf, msgsnarf, urlsnarf, and webspy passively monitor a network for interesting data (passwords, e-mail, files, etc.).
GFI LANguard Network Security Scanner (N.S.S.) automatically scans your entire network, IP by IP, and plays the devil's advocate alerting you to security vulnerabilities.
Ettercap is a multipurpose sniffer/interceptor/logger for switched LAN. It supports active and passive dissection of many protocols (even ciphered ones)and includes many feature for network and host analysis.
Nikto is an Open Source (GPL) web server scanner which performs comprehensive tests against web servers for multiple items, including over 2500 potentially dangerous files/CGIs, versions on over 375 servers, and version specific problems on over 230 servers.
OpenSSH is a FREE version of the SSH protocol suite of network connectivity tools, which encrypts all traffic (including passwords) to effectively eliminate eavesdropping, connection hijacking, and other network-level attacks.
Kismet is an 802.11 wireless network sniffer - this is different from a normal network sniffer (such as Ethereal or tcpdump) because it separates and identifies different wireless networks in the area.
NetFilter and iptables are the framework inside the Linux 2.4.x kernel which enables packet filtering, network address translation (NAT) and other packetmangling.
OpenPGP is a non-proprietary protocol for encrypting email using public key cryptography. It is based on PGP as originally developed by Phil Zimmermann.
No black magic tricks here just basic information obtained with Server Side Includes. Basically the web routes data from one location to another using an IP address. To make things easier to understand an IP address might have a machine name or domain name related to your ISP. However doing reverse DNS lookup using <!--#echo var="REMOTE_HOST" --> of an “IP address” might not give accurate results, because a proxy might be in use.
Too often it seems so called experts on FOX and other infotainment network outlets stereotype “hackers” and sensationalize “hacking,” so my goal with this part of my site is to put the risks into prospective and show people a few simple tricks of the trade.
BTW if ya have a question then read my Hacking FAQ's else try the graffiti wall to post a question or share a comment about stuff like hacking WiFi. PS if ya want to know the big secret of hacking, it’s RTFM!
IP Calculator takes an IP address and netmask and calculates the resulting broadcast, network, Cisco wildcard mask, and host range. PHP Subnet Calculator - to install, just move PHP Subnet Calculator SubnetCalc.php into the webroot of a php capable webserver.
Use IP & CIDR Netmask:
10.0.0.1/22
Or IP & Netmask:
10.0.0.1 255.255.252.0
Or IP & Wildcard Mask:
10.0.0.1 0.0.3.255
At Toorcon 2003 (Information Security Conference) a talk was given on utilities people in the know seem to find most useful. So FYI here a rough list of the top 20 hacking tools. FYI insecure.org has a list of top 75 Security Tools.

Internet Storm Center Status by DShield.org is an attempt to collect data about cracker activity from all over the internet. The data is cataloged and summarized, which enables trends to be discovered. The site also postes a Survival Time, which is the average time between attacks on various networks.
HackerWatch - World Internet Traffic Map lets you report and share information that helps identify, combat, and prevent the spread of Internet threats and unwanted network traffic.
A “Proxy” is an application that breaks the connection between sender and receiver, thus protecting your internet privacy (to some degree) while you are surfing. Enjoy the proxy gateway list(1) and list(2). If you’re curious, try Test Page for Web Anonymzing Services to test the various proxies yourself. Note as of 11/19/2001 those suffering from corporate oppression and Muslims in Saudi Arabia, UAE, etc. looking for porn better have alternative plans, because Safeweb turns off free service.
The University of Toronto's Internet Censorship Explorer permits anyone with a Web browser to test the limits of certain national and organizational Internet-blocking schemes. Users simply enter a target URL and a country into a search field on the Censorship Explorer's website. The software then scans the ports of available servers in that country, looking for open ones.
Phaster computer security resources search includes: exploits/bugs, internet security tools, guides to ethical hacking, encryption, network security documentation, hacks, cracks, phreaking stuff, etc.

The Internet Traffic Report monitors the flow of data around the world. It then displays a value between zero and 100. Higher values indicate faster and more reliable connections.
Many factors such as: your modem speed, phone line quality (unless you are connecting with an ISDN line or a cable modem), computer hardware (processor speed, cache, etc.), and web traffic jams affect how fast you connect to the internet and how fast web pages load on your computer. The following links will test your internet connection speed.
WiFi is an open-standard technology that enables wireless connectivity between laptops and local area networks and until reciently, wireless local area networks have been just another grass roots hobbyist technology. FYI a WiFi protocol analyzer can help you plan and secure your network even if you don't use WiFi...
Since this “Hacked” page seems to have international appeal, try these computer-based translation systems (it might be good for a laugh or two).
Since you have read this far, do ya think terrorism will end when rm -fr /bin/laden/? You can use the graffiti wall to post your own opinion on that question or use it to share your own bytes of hacking knowledge with others.
