Pen Testing Scripts By Common Exploits

Image
It has been a long time since I have posted on the blog, I have been very busy! I have created quite a few new scripts over the last year that I have finally shared and also have updated a few. These typically are scripts I have made for specific jobs I have been to make life easier. Things to consider, some of the scripts are older and may have bugs. These are scripts I have created with basic knowledge of bash etc. They do the job, use them or don’t use them, so I am not looking for a code review thanks  Here is a list of tools you can find and a brief overview of what they do: New tools released 2014. Whatsfree https://github.com/commonexploits/whatsfree Useful for when conducting pentests. Quickly find a live IP address to use. This can be handy when the client says “just pick one that is free” or when they give you a spreadsheet with an IP address to use and you want to ensure it is really free. Quite often typos will occur and you could take out a live box if you set the wrong IP

Wireless Password Cracking With Cloud Clusters

Recently I have been a bit frustrated with cracking wireless keys and was looking for better ways to improve the speed. I decided to setup a Amazon Ec2 cluster to give that a go at cracking WPA handshakes and also to improve general password cracking with John the Ripper. It can be quite annoying gaining the handshake or hash whilst onsite on a client test and not having enough time or power to crack them. I have done some playing around and managed to setup a dual cluster in Amazon. It wasn’t that easy to setup, but I wont get into detail in this post of how to do that. The reason that the Amazon cloud cluster appeals to me is I can just power it on when I need it and only costs around $2 USD per hour whilst it is on. So a very cheap solution for cracking. I am currently using a cluster of just 2 systems, but you can increase this up to 20 systems. I have created some comparisons between my laptop and the cluster. My laptop is a very good spec and fast system. My laptop 8GB RAM – Inte
