Best Pentest Tools For Kali Linux

Here are Top Best Pentesting Tools For Kali Linux 2017 the tools to do hacking in Kali Linux like pentesting, wifi hacking tools and password hacking tools 2017. If you using Kali Linux OS in your PC then use the tools I am listing in this post. The best tools for ethical hacking and not for any illegal purpose.

1. Aircrack-ng

Aircrack is one of the most well-known tools for WEP/WPA/WPA2 cracking. The Aircrack-ng group contains tools to capture packets and handshakes, de-authenticate connected clients and generate traffic and tools to achieve brute force and dictionary attacks. Aicrack-ng is an all-in-one suite containing the following tools (among others):
– Aircrack-ng for wireless password cracking
– Aireplay-ng to generate traffic and client de-authentication
– Airodump-ng for packet capturing
– Airbase-ng to configure fake access points

2. Wireshark

This is basically a network protocol analyzer –popular for offering the minutest details about your community protocols, packet information, decryption etc. It can be used on Windows, Linux, OS X, Solaris, FreeBSD, NetBSD, and plenty of other systems. The information that is retrieved via this tool can be regarded through a GUI, or the TTY-mode TShark application.

3. Acunetix

Audit websites and web application security with Acunetix Web Susceptibility Scanner and check for XSS, SQL Injection and other web vulnerabilities.

4. Reaver

Wifi hacking tools is Reaver. Reaver is another well-known tool for hacking wireless networks and targets specifically WPS vulnerabilities. Reaver performs brute force attacks against Wifi Protected Setup (WPS) registrar PINs to recover the WPA/WPA2 passphrase. Since many router manufacturers and ISPs turn on WPS by default a lot of routers are vulnerable to this attack out of the box.

5. Hydra

A very fast network logon cracker which support many different services. Number one of the biggest security holes are passwords, as every password security study shows.

6. Pixiewps

PixieWPS is a comparatively new tool contained with Kali Linux and also targets a WPS vulnerability. PixieWPS is written in C and is used to brute force the WPS PIN offline exploiting the low or non-existing entropy of vulnerable access points. This is called a pixie dust attack.

7. John The Ripper

Another password cracker in line is, John the Ripper. This tool works on most of the environments, although it’s primarily for UNIX systems. It is considered one of the fastest tools in this genre.

8. Sqlmap

Sqlmap is good open source pen testing tool. This tool is mainly used for detecting and exploiting SQL injection problems in an application and hacking over of database servers. It arises with command-line interface. Platform: Linux, Apple Mac OS X and Microsoft Windows are supported platforms.

9. oclHashcat

World’s fastest and most advanced GPGPU-based password recovery utility, now open source which is used to crack and recover wifi networks password.

10. Maltego

Maltego is a program built into Kali Linux that allows you do investigation on any person, by scraping up data from all publicly available areas of the Internets. Maltego is used for information gathering and data-mining.
