- inactive, on 09/22/2008, -2/+45I don't know if I'd put JTR as number one...I mean, seriously, how often are you going to need to crack an MD5?
Also if they're going to put Kismet on there, they need to include the aircrack-ng suite. And where's MetaSploit? And iptables, it's the most kickass firewall ever made, and considering it's built right into the kernel, it would be the perfect contender for this list. - 4d669, on 09/22/2008, -4/+31Trinity used nmap in the matrix, therefore=l33t.

- RodBorn, on 09/22/2008, -4/+15must be a bunch of newbs are starting to use Linux trying to h4x cause this article is straight out of 1998. Should have included a Captain Crunch whistle in the article as well.
- flashingcurser, on 09/22/2008, -0/+7Why would anyone digg you down? Trinity is a great tool.
- Chaulis, on 09/22/2008, -1/+8Having JTR as number one kinda kills the creditability for me. The author probably just went to securityfocus and got the top ten most downloaded from there and wrote about what they do. Fierce.pl, WTF samurai, BT3, Metasploit, Zenmap for the CLI challenged. I mean really do we need TCPdump and wireshark on the same list and not referencing each other.
- mlLk, on 09/23/2008, -0/+6Zero Cool? Crashed fifteen hundred and seven computers in one day? Biggest crash in history, front page New York Times August 10th, 1988. I thought you was black man. YO THIS IS ZERO COOL!
- d1sdain, on 09/22/2008, -1/+6Crash Override
- inactive, on 09/22/2008, -1/+6this list is bogus....
- flashingcurser, on 09/22/2008, -0/+4For what it's worth I dugg you up.
- jo0zi, on 09/22/2008, -0/+4i dugg that just to get it closer to 1337
- Chaulis, on 09/22/2008, -1/+5That is a fantastic live cd. There are still plenty of bugs but it's the best compilation of tools out there right now.
- fluxion, on 09/22/2008, -0/+4nmap + script kiddie sploitz, the 1 weakness of our computerized overlords
- xeemo, on 09/22/2008, -0/+4Dugg for Caption Crunch reference.

ERROR - NOT ALLOWED - cgibbo, on 09/22/2008, -1/+5Funny story kind of - I used to go to #2600 meetings in the Altamonte mall in Orlando, and he would show up. He was kind of dirty, and always wanted us to do exercises with him... we were 16.
Cool guy though. - fluxion, on 09/22/2008, -0/+4some of us are just too stupid to join the rest of you OSX/Windows peeps. maybe one day we'll have the required intelligence to join you, till then we're stuck here in our little world of FOSS
- cgibbo, on 09/22/2008, -0/+3Agreed. You got dugg down because noone knows what a Captain Crunch whistle is anymore.
- mllawso, on 09/22/2008, -0/+3I know! Those retards with their stable, free, secure, network-centered OS should STFU and use Windows. In fact, I talked to one of those idiots the other day -- he was telling me some ***** about how he never gets spyware or "Disk-rot", and how lunix efficiently uses system resources. I was all like "Let's see you run TF2" and he was all like "Okay, look how it's running at speed with max graphics settings under WINE." But then I told him he was a nerd and was never gonna get any.
- 16777216, on 09/22/2008, -1/+4One of the best things about open source is that often you get "instant" fixes for bugs.
But some times you get an "instant" ***** off too.
On the bright side though you didn't have to wait six months to get the ***** off, and now can change your tool set and not keep broken tools in the hope of it getting fixed any time soon. - Hydraulix, on 09/22/2008, -0/+3John the ripper need a complete rewrite to support SMP.
- temugen, on 09/22/2008, -0/+3It depends on what goals they were shooting for in the article. If they were looking at stealing millions of accounts, JTR could be their friend :) If, however, they were wanting to penetrate machines through ports other than 80, Metasploit should have been number 1.
Looking over the article I don't think you can really associate the numbered list with the applications, they're all great and most of them are used in conjunction with each other.
Also, I would've thrown wifizoo in there. - javaroast, on 09/22/2008, -0/+3Yep dugg you up for the Captain Crunch whistle. Look up John Draper for you digg downs
- CarStan, on 09/22/2008, -2/+4what about google and wikipedia? they were sufficient for Palins Yahoo account
- frostbyt, on 09/22/2008, -1/+3Where is Zero Cool?

- Epitaph, on 09/22/2008, -0/+2I proclaim troll
- dabura, on 09/22/2008, -0/+2i dont know, man; but they're burying me.
- fluxion, on 09/22/2008, -1/+3surfin the g1bs0n bra, can i leave a cyber msg?
- bpoteat, on 09/22/2008, -0/+2It's like he's trying to be funny, but ends up just being pathetic.
- flashingcurser, on 09/22/2008, -0/+2For network/server troubleshooting what alternative tools are there? For example, wireshark is irreplaceable in troubleshooting windows networks. I'd rather nmap a host than ping it, not only do I find out if the host is up, I can also see if its services are up. All of these are great tools, either to troubleshoot or check security of your own network.
One great tool they left out is ophcrack live CD, great for that person who conveniently forgets their administrator password. It doesn't crack very complex passwords, fortunately (unfortunately really) most people don't use complex passwords. - Epitaph, on 09/22/2008, -0/+2sorry, but i had to digg you down just for exposing me to that video... and wtf is wrong with the people on youtube? those are some ANGRY people.
- buddyw, on 09/22/2008, -0/+1dug for hhk2 (happy Hacker) Keyboard.
- spazmotron, on 09/24/2008, -0/+1No c-force?
- flashingcurser, on 09/22/2008, -1/+2While I like iptables, Open BSD packet filter (PF) has a much better security track record. I somewhat agree with your point about JTR, though I use ophcrack live CD (based loosely on JTR) to recover forgotten windows passwords. As for MD5, I have mail servers that keep passwords in MD5 in mysql. If I needed to recover one, it is nice to know that I could. Most of the time I just put in known hash.
Metasploit definitely should have made it onto the list. It's great for finding unpatched exploitable services and OS's. - Chaulis, on 09/23/2008, -0/+1But what's the point? I'd rather have SuSE or my mac and BT in a VM, or as a live cd.
- DougVitale, on 09/22/2008, -0/+1Just so you know, you can install Backtrack like any other Linux distro now (i.e., it doesn't need to run off a live CD).
http://www.remote-exploit.org/backtrack.html - NJank, on 09/22/2008, -0/+1i like it. but i'd like it even better if my ancient truemobile 1150 worked OOTB. :)
- MikePricee, on 03/06/2009, -0/+1Another good tips, but this is double http://www.unlockcomputers.com/
- CaptainScarlet, on 09/22/2008, -0/+1Now??!?! I guess you never heard of the 414s???
- bldotueyez, on 09/23/2008, -0/+1so all the kids say they are hackers. and from time to time.. they play with you... nice... retards...
- leerayIG88, on 09/22/2008, -0/+1i want to be a black hat
- nickpick, on 09/23/2008, -0/+1Ehem... aircrack-ng anybody?
