18 FREE Online Tools for Privacy

We often fail to realize the importance of keeping ourselves hidden on the Internet.
In an era when so many activities, from communications to payments, take place online, security is increasingly important.
Maintaining your privacy on the World Wide Web can be tedious, so we’ve drawn up a comprehensive list of 18 best tools that can help you stay safe and secure on the web.

1. OpenVPN

Supporting all major operating systems, OpenVPN is a free, open-source encryption protocol used by a majority of VPN service providers. It is often best supported with a VPN server to connect to and provides strong security and connection. You can also create your own VPN server to maintain privacy on public networks.

Easily Edit APK Files, Change Icon, Name and Version – with “APK Icon Editor” for Windows

Sometimes you find yourself not liking the icons of your favorite android apps. This happens when a good app comes with a dull icon. Generally it’s not possible to change an Android app’s icon on your phone. The easiest way to change icon of apps on your phone is to use a launcher/theme that comes with the features of custom icons. But still the icons of the APK files (Android apps are packaged as apk file) remain the original. No matter why and what it takes, you may want to change the icon or name or anything else of an APK file so that it reflects your need when you install it on your phone or tablet. 

 

Though APK files are seem to be like zip files, they are a kind of binary build from Android SDK, the tool used to develop and build android apk packages. So it’s harder to change something inside it. You will see folks and hackers from XDA Developers changing identity, altering functionality, cracking apk files to gain certain purpose, etc. These all done with reverse engineering which is not meant for normal users. Though you will find some APK editor tools both for Android and PC, it’s hard to find a user friendly one that is usable for all. After searching around, I have found an APK editor tool, APK Icon Editor, made for Windows which is best of its kind.

About APK Icon Editor

APK Icon Editor is a free and open source Android app package editor  which lets you edit various components of an APK file without any technical knowledge or coding. Yes it’s even friendly for noobs! It comes with many features in convenient way that the most other APK editor don’t. It’s written in C++ and Qt framework.

How To Become A Hacker

Nowadays, every other college or school student wants to be a hacker. Due to media hype, the term hacker is considered both cool and criminal at the same time. Now, since my blog is basically about my journey into hacking, I receive many emails on how to become a hacker. "I'm a beginner in hacking, how should I start?" or "I want to be able to hack my friend's Facebook account" are some of the more frequent queries. In this article I will attempt to answer these and more. I will give detailed technical instructions on how to get started as a beginner and how to evolve as you gain more knowledge and expertise in the domain. Hacking is a skill. And you must remember that if you want to learn hacking solely for the fun of hacking into your friend's facebook account or email, things will not work out for you. You should decide to learn hacking because of your fascination for technology and your desire to be an expert in computer systems.

Hide your Identity: 6 ways to remain anonymous while surfing the internet

It is a well known fact that governments all over the world are increasing surveillance on their citizens. Their reasons are many. Our surfing habits and online activities are being monitored. Internet privacy has become a big issue all over the world. In India, the situation is not that different. It is just that Indian intelligence agencies  are all shrouded in a cloak of secrecy and the public doesn't  have any idea what is going on. For all we know, all our emails, facebook messages and google searches are being filtered and analyzed for suspected terror links. But that is just an assumption, although the truth can't be far from it. Universities and companies also log their students' and employees' surfing habits. The problem with this kind of surveillance is that our privacies are violated. The filtering is usually done at your router (IT Department) or the ISP. To bypass the filtering, you need to go past them. So, for all those who want to stay anonymous when surfing the internet, I am listing here several ways to do that. Please note that this information is for educational purposes only. 

How To Practice Hacking Without Getting Into Trouble - Part 2 (Hacking With Metasploit)

In Part 1, we learnt how to setup a hacking lab to practice hacking since our objective is to hack without disrupting any real network or services.  Now, in this article, I will discuss ways to actually start hacking on your own. Please note that I will be using Metasploit as the primary hacking tool. Metasploit is a huge  collection of ready-to-use exploits which makes life easier for a penetration tester or ethical hacker. Metasploit comes pre-installed with Backtrack, so you don't need to do any extra installation. However, if you want to use a Windows machine as the attacker machine, you can download Metasploit for windows also (around 390MB).

In this hack, I will be hacking Windows XP using the famous netapi exploit.(don’t worry if you don’t know what that is). I'm showing this exploit because it works every time, and it is easy to demonstrate, especially for beginners.

I will be using Backtrack as an attacker and Windows XP as a victim as configured  in part 1.
Startup the Backtrack Machine and login with the username- root and password- toor

After that, type startx to start the GUI window. Now, you are greeted with the Backtrack Interface.  You can browse through all the menus and try out all the tools.
First, we will perform a port scan to see open ports and (hopefully) find out the victim's Operating System.  Type nmap -O 192.168.56.106       like so-

Now, we know that our victim is Running Windows XP SP2 or Windows Server 2003 and the port 445 is open. So, we can run the  netapi exploit using Metaspolit.

Start Metasploit by going to Start Menu->BackTrack->Exploitation Tools->Network Exploitation Tools->Metasploit Framework->msfconsole

How To Practice Hacking Without Getting Into Trouble - Part 1 (Hacking Lab)

We all know hacking is illegal. But then, how do we practice? We can practice by setting up a hacking lab.

Here, I will give you directions on how to setup a hacking lab for yourself. 

I wrote an entire tutorial on creating virtual machines etc, but the article got lost somehow, and I am too lazy to write again, so I've copied some of these articles from several sites. Links in the bottom.

Have a look at the advantages of a hacking lab

•  It's free.You set it up yourself using free tools
• Everything is done in One system (need at least 3 GB RAM)
• You can practice hacking anytime.
• You can install any kind of viruses, spyware or trojan and see how it works, without harming your system.

How are we going to create a lab with a single system?

We are going to set up a hacking environment virtually using VirtualBox . You can also use VMware, but Virtualbox is opensource, free and simple to use. What Virtualbox does is, it creates multiple virtual operating  systems in your single laptop. The operating systems created in Virtualbox are similar to a real one in every aspect except for the fact that it is Virtual, i.e no hardware.

Our virtual network is going to look like this

10 ways you can earn money as a computer science student

You may be a BCA or BTech student studying computer science. During your 3 or 4 year degree course, you can earn some pocket money and also gain experience at the same time. I have listed here 10 ways you can earn money, not much, but like I said, enough for pocket money. The concept of earning while in college is relatively more common in the west than here in India. In India, we tend to view college life as  either studies only or enjoyment only, depending on the student.

1.  Develop websites for others

Since you are a computer science student, you can develop websites for people.  Initially, it might be hard to find a client as you have no experience, so, develop your own websites and showcase them as your portfolio.  You can develop static html pages or dynamic php or asp pages depending on your choice of languages.   If a traditional website is what your client wants, you can use popular Content Management Systems(CMS) like wordpress or joomla. Wordpress and joomla are readymade website' templates' and are very easy to set up. You may even offer a whole website package which includes  the domain name, website , email , hosting and support. This can earn you some money as well as give you experience to enhance your resume.

2.  Become a freelance software developer

Becoming a software developer is not difficult, but it requires a lot of effort and perseverance. It is similar  like becoming a website developer except that you will be developing software applications for small businesses and enterprises.  You can start by developing a student management software for your school or college. They may or may not use it, but it will give you some experience to start with.  If you will be developing GUI  desktop applications, you have an array of choices like VisualStudio, QT C++, Netbeans, Delphi etc.  I have written an article on becoming a software developer here.

3. Repair computers of friends/family

If you want to plan your career in the hardware and networking path, you can start by offering services - like repairing  computers and  windows installations - to  friends and family members.  This will greatly enhance your troubleshooting skills also.  The objective here is to establish a name for yourself. You can then expand to shops and cyber-cafes where computer services are in great demand.  After you have achieved some repute, you can start charging people for  your services.

4. Work part time in call centers as technical  support role
This will help you in two ways. One, you will gain some technical know-how about troubleshooting, two, you will learn some people skills and communication skills. You can work part time in a nearby call center or company. Although part-time jobs are hard to come by these days, you can still find them if you look hard enough.

5. Participate in programming  contests.

There are many programming and software development contests going on all over the world. Most of them are online. The benefit here is twofold; enhancing your programming skills as well as a cash prize, if you win. The best example is the IBM - The Great Mind Challenge , although t is only  for Indians. There are many other contests like this all over the world. Google is your best friend.

 6. Write tech related articles

You can write technology themed articles. For this, you can either start your own blog or join an online freelance website like Elance, Odesk or Freelancer. At any given time, there are plenty of potential clients in these sites hiring freelancers to write their tech blogs or websites.

7. Help others in online(paying) forums such as ealp.com

There are several forums online which pay you for answering questions people ask. The best I can think of is the Earn And  Learn Program (www.ealp.com). Payment from this site is made once a month. I tried this once, and I got a cheque of Rs. 1000 for a month's work (10 minutes a day). You can earn around 5000 in a month, but It will consume much of your time.

8. Internship at a software company

Many software/IT  companies take interns for technical work. Although internships are not easy to find in India, the situation seems to be better in the west. Once you get a job as an intern, you can work at the company for about 2-6 months. This can be counted as experience and will enhance your resume. Twenty19 is an excellent website for searching for internships. They list both paying and non paying internships all over India.

9. Develop android/mobile apps and sell it

Download the Android SDK and start developing android applications. Android is one of the hottest mobile Operating Systems available today. With Karbonn and Micromax launching cheaper and cheaper  Android phones, the market is huge. Develop games or applications and sell them in the Google Play store. You can develop Symbian and  Apple apps also.

10. Become a freelance ethical hacker

You can learn hacking and once you are good enough, you can start becoming a freelance cyber security consultant. This idea is not  mainstream and only few people will be  up for this. That is why it is in the last. It will be quite difficult to do this, but once you earn a certain repute as a freelance pen tester, your earnings will be good. You can start by offering to secure the computers of others and remember to  constantly practice  in your hacking lab. I am currently doing just this through Elance.com. 2 years ago, I signed up for a free elance account and now people hire me to test their websites  after looking at my elance profile.

How to perform a Denial of Service attack to crash a website?

Denial of service is a very aggressive attack usually launched against websites as a form of protest or activism. The ultimate aim is to bring down or crash the web server. There are many readymade tools for this. Here, I will give instructions on how to use a very simple DoS tool called Low Orbit Ion Cannon (LOIC). LOIC is a free and open source and can be found in Sourceforge.

Please note that the information provides here is only for educational purpose. 

First download LOIC from here. The original version requires Microsoft .net to run. If you are using a Linux system, then you can use the java version, Java LOIC.

Once downloaded, you can go ahead and run the tool. The directions are pretty straight forward.

1. Enter the URL of the website you are planning to attack. There is also an option to enter the IP address.

2. Once the URL is entered, click on "Lock On"

3. Select the protocol you want to use. TCP is fine.

4. Enter the no of simultaneous threads. (In other words, the severity of your attack) 500 to 1000 threads will do.

5.Finally, click on the large button labelled as "IMMA CHARGIN MAH LAZER"

That will start the attack.  In the bottom, you will see a substantial increase in the no. of requested connections. This means your attack is on. After some time, the website will slow down and eventually stop responding(crash). The best way to observe this is by creating a web server in a virtual lab and attacking it. You can then analyze the web server logs  for more information.

Note: Please don't use tool on any website other than your own. It is a very powerful tool and you could get in trouble with the law.

5 Best Tools For Hacking Web Applications

In an earlier post, I listed the top 10 general hacking tools. This time, I have listed 5 of the best tools specifically  to hack websites and web applications. Most of these tools are free and are very easy to use.

 If you want to hack a website or web application, knowledge of PHP, ASP, SQL etc are necessary. If you know these languages and technologies, you will be able to hack the website without the need for any tool. These tools make the life of a hacker easy by automating the tasks.

                                                              Image courtesy of chanpipat/ FreeDigitalPhotos.net

So, here is the list of the top 5 web application hacking tools. Starting off with..

1. Burp Suite

Burp suite is a web proxy tool that can be used to test web application security. It can brute force any login form in a browser. You can edit or modify GET and POST data before sending it to the server. It can also be used to automatically detect SQL injection vulnerabilities. It is a good tool to use both under Windows and Linux environments. It is free, however, if you need the advanced features, you can always buy the premium version.

2. Acunetix Web Vulnerability Scanner

Acunetix Web Vulnerability Scanner provides a comprehensive environment to automatically  scan a website for vulnerabilities.  It scans the web application as well as the web server. Once Acunetix identifies the vulnerabilities in the website, you can go ahead and exploit it manually or use any of the other tools in this list.  Acunetix is however, a paid software, but if you are resourceful, you will know where to get it for free ;)

3. OWASP ZAP

ZAP  OWASP is similar to Burp Suite in functionality. However, ZAP is completely free.

According to the official website:

"The Zed Attack Proxy (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."

4. Havij

Havij is one of the best Automatic SQL injection tools. It is extremely easy to use, thanks to its GUI. All you have to do is provide a vulnerable link to Havij, and it will spew out database details such as tables, columns and rows.

5. Mozilla Firefox

Mozilla Firefox is a web browser. Why then, is it in this list? That is because every web application hacking will take place through a web browser. And what better browser than Firefox? Google Chrome is too simplistic, Internet explorer is too buggy and slow. Firefox is the preferred web hacking tool because it is fast, supports proxy (to be used with Burp Suite) and supports many  plug-ins  such as cookie editor.

Top 10 Best Hacking PC Tools

Hacking always involves tools. A good hacker knows how to use tools to his best advantage. An even better hacker writes his own tools. Here I have listed the top 10 most popular tools used in hacking. It is advisable to master these tools to become a good hacker. Note that all the tools listed here are completely free.


1. Nmap

Nmap is also known as the swiss army knife of hacking. It is the best port scanner with a lot of functions
In hacking, Nmap is usually used in the footprinting phase to scan the ports of the remote computer to find out wich ports are open.


2. Wireshark

Wireshark is a packet sniffer. It captures all network traffic going through a network adapter. When performing man in the middle attacks using tools like Cain, we can use Wireshark to capture the traffic and analyze it for juicy info like usernames and passwords. It is used by network administrators to perform network troubleshooting.

3. Cain and Abel

Cain and Abel is a multipurpose windows only hacking tool. It is a bit old now, but it still does the job well. Cain can be used to crack windows password, perform man in the middle attacks, capture network passwords etc.

4. Metasploit

Metasploit is a huge database of exploits. There are thousands of exploit codes, payloads that can be used to attack web servers or any computer for that matter. This is the ultimate hacking tool that will allow you to actually "hack" a computer. You will be able to get root access to the remote computer and plant backdoors or do any other stuff. It is best to use metasploit under linux.

5. Burp Suite

Burpsuite is a web proxy tool that can be used to test web application security. It can brute force any login form in a browser. You can edit or modify GET and POST data before sending it to the server. It can also be used to automatically detect SQL injection vulnerabilities. It is a good tool to use both under Windows and Linux environments.

6. Aircrack-ng

Aircrack-ng is a set of tools that are used to crack wifi passwords. Using a combination of the tools in  aircrack, you can easily crack WEP passwords. WPA passwords can be cracked using dictionary or brute force.  Although aircrack-ng is available for Windows, it is best to use it under Linux environment. There are many issues if you use it under Windows environment.


8. Nessus

Nessus is a comprehensive  automatic vulnerability scanner.  You have to give it an IP address as input and it will scan that IP address to find out the vulnerabilities in that system. Once you know the vulnerabllities, you can use metasploit to exploit the vulnerablity. Nessus works both in Windows and Linux.



10. THC Hydra

Hydra is a fast password cracker tool. It cracks passwords of remote systems through the network. It can crack passwords of many protocols including ftp,http, smtp etc. You have the option to supply a dictionary file which contains possible passwords. It is best to use hydra under linux environment.

9. Netcat

Netcat is a great networking utility which reads and writes data across network connections, using the TCP/IP protocol. It is also known as the swiss army knife for TCP/IP. This is because netcat is extremely versatile and can perform almost anything related to TCP/IP. In a hacking scenario, it can be used as a backdoor to access hacked computers remotely. The use of netcat is limited only by the user's imagination. Find out more about netcat at the official website.

10. Putty

Although putty is not a hacking software by itself, it is a very useful tool for a hacker. It is a client for SSH and telnet, which can be used to connect to remote computers. You may use putty when you want to connect to your Backtrack machine from your Windows PC.  It can also be used to perform SSH tunneling to bypass firewalls.


Note: This list is not comprehensive. There are many tools that I have left out. Those tools that did not make the list are; Sqlmap, Havij, Acunetix Web Scanner, SuperScan, John the Ripper, Kismet, Hping3.
