    ZAP

    ZAP

    The OWASP ZAP core project

    The OWASP Zed Attack Proxy (ZAP) is one of the world’s most popular free security tools and is actively maintained by a dedicated international team of volunteers. It can help you automatically find security vulnerabilities in your web applications while you are developing and testing your applications. It's also a great tool for experienced pentesters to use for manual security testing. ZAP is an easy to use integrated penetration testing tool for finding vulnerabilities in web applications. It is designed to be used by people with a wide range of security experience and as such is ideal for developers and functional testers who are new to penetration testing. ZAP provides automated scanners as well as a set of tools that allow you to find security vulnerabilities manually. It stands between the tester’s browser and the web application so that it can intercept and inspect messages sent between browser and web application.

    Privilege Escalation Awesome Scripts SUITE

    These tools search for possible local privilege escalation paths that you could exploit and print them to you with nice colors so you can recognize the misconfigurations easily. All the scripts/binaries of the PEAS suite should be used for authorized penetration testing and/or educational purposes only. Any misuse of this software will not be the responsibility of the author or of any other collaborator. Use it at your own machines and/or with the owner's permission. Here you will find privilege escalation tools for Windows and Linux/Unix and MacOS. Find the latest versions of all the scripts and binaries in the releases page.

    Pacu

    Pacu

    The AWS exploitation framework, designed for testing security

    Pacu (named after a type of Piranha in the Amazon) is a comprehensive AWS security-testing toolkit designed for offensive security practitioners. While several AWS security scanners currently serve as the proverbial “Nessus” of the cloud, Pacu is designed to be the Metasploit equivalent. Written in Python 3 with a modular architecture, Pacu has tools for every step of the pen testing process, covering the full cyber kill chain. Pacu is the aggregation of all of the exploitation experience and research from our countless prior AWS red team engagements. Automating components of the assessment not only improves efficiency but also allows our assessment team to be much more thorough in large environments. What used to take days to manually enumerate can be now be achieved in minutes. There are currently over 35 modules that range from reconnaissance, persistence, privilege escalation, enumeration, data exfiltration, log manipulation, and miscellaneous general exploitation.

    Nishang

    Nishang

    Offensive PowerShell for red team and penetration testing

    Nishang is a framework and collection of scripts and payloads which enables usage of PowerShell for offensive security, penetration testing and red teaming. Nishang is useful during all phases of penetration testing. Import all the scripts in the current PowerShell session (PowerShell v3 onwards). Use the individual scripts with dot sourcing. Note that the help is available for the function loaded after running the script and not the script itself since version 0.3.8. In all cases, the function name is same as the script name. Nishang scripts are flagged by many Anti Viruses as malicious. The scrripts on a target are meant to be used in memory which is very easy to do with PowerShell. Two basic methods to execute PowerShell scripts in memory. Use the in-memory dowload and execute: Use below command to execute a PowerShell script from a remote shell, meterpreter native shell, a web shell etc. and the function exported by it.

    OWASP Security Shepherd

    OWASP Security Shepherd

    Web and mobile application security awareness/training platform

    The OWASP Security Shepherd project enables users to learn or to improve upon existing manual penetration testing skills. Utilizing the OWASP top ten as a challenge test bed, common security vulnerabilities can be explored and their impact on a system understood. The by-product of this challenge game is the acquired skill to harden a player's own environment from OWASP top ten security risks. The modules have been crafted to provide not only a challenge for a security novice, but security professionals as well. If you'd like to download the V3.0 VM, you can download it from github: https://github.com/OWASP/SecurityShepherd/releases/tag/v3.0 Try it live: https://owasp.securityshepherd.eu Raise issues here: https://github.com/markdenihan/owaspSecurityShepherd/issues More Info here: https://www.owasp.org/index.php/OWASP_Security_Shepherd

    DENRIT

    DENRIT

    Perform anonymous and non-anonymous pentesting.

    DENRIT allows remote administration of anonymous networks (TOR, I2P and FreeNet). Also, contains a pentesting module to execute commands using a selected anonymous network, pentesting with TOR or TCP Follows a client/server model with well-defined communication interfaces. SSH is used to allow remote clients to access the machine and manage any anonymous network that is installed there, plus allows penetration testing anonymously (or non-anonymously) using tools such as Metasploit Framework, nmap, nikto, among others. The list of supported applications will grow as the project progresses. Until now, this project is under development and is very unstable (and some features aren't included). But I've been developing constantly and I think that soon this software will become stable and very useful to pentesters, hackers and researchers (I hope so!) Well, you can see the wiki page and the presentation exposed in the download section if you want more information about this project.
