Tool Update 5th March

Another round up of tool releases that can be useful to the Pen Tester. My aim is to do this on a weekly basis and if you are aware of any new tools or releases of existing tools you feel should be included please contact me with the details.

The comments here are my own views and I am not recommending any one product over another, if you are looking for tools I recommend trying a few, as most have free versions and picking the one that works for you. We all have our own methods of working and a pen tester’s tool bag reflects their own personality.

Not had chance to look through all the material from RSAC on new tools, however I will hopefully catch up some point, however here are some of the updates I have some across in the last week.

BeEF v0.4.3.2 Alpha Released

The Browser Exploitation Framework (BeEF) is a powerful professional security tool. BeEF is pioneering techniques that provide the experienced penetration tester with practical client side attack vectors. Unlike other security frameworks, BeEF focuses on leveraging browser vulnerabilities to assess the security posture of a target. This project is developed solely for lawful research and penetration testing.BeEF hooks one or more web browsers as beachheads for the launching of directed command modules. Each browser is likely to be within a different security context, and each context may provide a set of unique attack vectors

MagicTree v1.1 Released

MagicTree is a data management tool for penetration testers. It aggregates data from a variety of other tools, and lets you analyze the data, reuse it, and generate custom reports.

Maltego v3.1 BackTrack Released

Maltego is an open source intelligence and forensics application. It will offer you timous mining and gathering of information as well as the representation of this information in a easy to understand format.
