Open Source Penetration Testing Tools

Ophcrack is a Windows password cracker based on a time-memory trade-off using rainbow tables. This is a new variant of Hellman's original trade-off, with better performance. It recovers 99.9% of alphanumeric passwords in seconds.

Cross-platform high-level cryptographic library. Themis helps to build simple and complex cryptographic features easily, quickly, and securely. It’s a perfect fit for multi-platform apps. Themis hides cryptographic details and eliminates popular mistakes. Themis provides ready-made building blocks (“cryptosystems”) for secure data storage, message exchange, socket connections, and authentication. Secure Cell is a multi-mode cryptographic container suitable for storing anything from encrypted files to database records. Use Secure Cell to encrypt data at rest. Secure Cell is built around AES-256-GCM, and AES-256-CTR. Secure Message is a simple encrypted messaging solution for the widest scope of applications. Use Secure Message to send encrypted and signed data from one user to another, from client to server, to prevent MITM attacks and avoid single secret leakage. Based on ECC + ECDSA / RSA + PSS + PKCS#7.

AESTextCrypt is an easy-to-use open source tool for text encryption and decryption. Primarily intended for use with email, use it wherever you need to protect text from prying eyes. The encrypted text can be copy/pasted into any text-handling application (e.g. email) instead of plain text. Convenience buttons are provided for clipboard operations. AESTextCrypt uses AES-256 bit encryption which is the strongest available encryption scheme. It also employs bcrypt, which implements key-stretching and an adaptive key setup phase, the complexity (number of rounds) of which is automatically set to match the processing power of the encrypting computer. This makes it highly resistant to dictionary attack. AESTextCrypt is written in Java, so can be run on all desktop platforms - Windows, Mac and Linux.

Don't let cumbersome web debugging tools hold you back. With Proxyman's native macOS app, you can capture, inspect, and manipulate HTTP(s) traffic with ease. Intuitive, thoughtful, and built with meticulous attention to detail. Dive into the network level to diagnose and fix problems with reliable and powerful tools. Proxyman acts as a man-in-the-middle server that captures the traffic between your applications and SSL Web Server. With a built-in macOS setup, so you can inspect your HTTP/HTTPS Request and Responses in plain text with just one click. Narrow down your search with Proxyman's Multiple Filters. You can combine complex filtered criteria like Protocol, Content-Type, URL, Request Header, Response Header, Body, etc that find exact what you're looking for.

InsecureWebApp is a web app that includes common web application vulnerabilities including SQL&Html Injection- see owasp.org. It is a target for automated and manual penetration testing, source code analysis, vulnerability assessments and threat modeling.

The Zed Attack Proxy (ZAP) is an easy to use integrated penetration testing tool for finding vulnerabilities in web applications. Note that this project is no longer used for hosting the ZAP downloads. You should download ZAP via https://github.com/zaproxy/zaproxy/wiki/Downloads Please see the homepage for more information about OWASP ZAP

Attack Range Log The Splunk Attack Range is an open-source project maintained by the Splunk Threat Research Team. It builds instrumented cloud (AWS, Azure) and local environments (Virtualbox), simulates attacks, and forwards the data into a Splunk instance. This environment can then be used to develop and test the effectiveness of detections.
