BackTrack Final 3 Hacking LiveCD

If you don’t know, BackTrack is a top rated linux live distribution focused on penetration testing. With no installation whatsoever, the analysis platform is started directly from the CD-Rom and is fully accessible within minutes.

New Stuff

SAINT
SAINT has provided BackTrack users with a functional version of SAINT, pending a free request for an IP range license through the SAINT website, valid for 1 year.

Maltego
The guys over at Paterva have created a special version of Maltego v2.0 with a community license especially for BackTrack users. We would like to thank Paterva for co-operating with us and allowing us to feature this amazing tool in BackTrack.

Nessus
Tenable would not allow for redistribution of Nessus on BackTrack 3.

Kernel
2.6.21.5. Yes, yes, stop whining….We had serious deliberations concerning the BT3 kernel. We decided not to upgrade to a newer kernel as wireless injection patches were not fully tested and verified. We did not want to jeopardize the awesome wireless capabilities of BT3 for the sake of sexiness or slightly increased hardware compatibilities. All relevant security patches have been applied.

Tools
As usual, updated, sharpened, SVN’ed and armed to the teeth. This release we have some special features such as spoonwep, fastrack and other cool additions.

Availability

For the first time we distribute three different version of Backtrack 3:

  • CD version
  • USB version
  • VMWare version

Technitium MAC Address Changer allows you to change Media Access Control (MAC) Address of your Network Interface Card (NIC) irrespective to your NIC manufacturer or its driver. It has a very simple user interface and provides ample information regarding each NIC in the machine. Every NIC has a MAC address hard coded in its circuit by the manufacturer. This hard coded MAC address is used by windows drivers to access Ethernet Network (LAN). This tool can set a new MAC address to your NIC, bypassing the original hard coded MAC address. Technitium MAC Address Changer is a must have tool in every security professionals tool box. Technitium MAC Address Changer is coded in Visual Basic 6.0.

  • Allows you to configure Internet Explorer HTTP proxy settings through configuration presets or command line.
  • Issues with installer program resolved. (Thanks to all your feedbacks)
  • Identifies the preset applied to currently selected Network Interface Card (NIC) automatically making it easy to identify settings.
  • Most known issues with Windows Vista removed. (Thanks to all your feedbacks)
  • Changes MAC address of Network Interface Card (NIC) including Wireless LAN Cards, irrespective of its manufacturer or its drivers.
  • Has latest list of all known manufacturers (with corporate addresses) to choose from. You can also enter any MAC address and know which manufacturer it belongs to.
  • Allows you to select random MAC address from the list of manufacturers by just clicking a button.
  • Restarts your NIC automatically to apply MAC address changes instantaneously.
  • Allows you to create Configuration Presets, which saves all your NIC settings and makes it very simple to switch between many settings in just a click and hence saves lot of time.

ArpON - ARP Handler Detect and Block ARP Poisoning/Spoofing

ArpON (Arp handler inspectiON) is a portable handler daemon with some nice tools to handle all ARP aspects. It has a lot of features and it makes ARP a bit safer. This is possible using two kinds of anti Arp Poisoning tecniques, the first is based on SARPI or “Static ARP Inspection”, the second on DARPI or “Dynamic ARP Inspection” approach.

Keep in mind other common tools fighting ARP poisoning usually limit their activity only to point out the problem instead of blocking it, ArpON does it using SARPI and DARPI policies.

Finally you can use ArpON to pentest some switched/hubbed LAN with/without DHCP protocol, in fact you can disable the daemon in order to use the tools to poison the ARP Cache.

However ArpON is also a good tool to a clever sysadmin aware of security related topics. It is a tool born to make ARP secure in order to avoid ARP Spoofing/Poisoning etc.

Static ARP Inspection

When SARPI starts, it saves statically all the ARP entries it finds in the ARP cache in a static cache called SARPI Cache. Note that you can also manage the ARP cache before starting SARPI, through the “ARP CACHE MANAGER” feature of ArpON.

Dynamic ARP Inspection

DARPI startup phase consists in cleaning up the ARP cache, deleting all of its entries. This is due because ARP cache may have poisoned entries from the beginning. DARPI handles the so called DARPI cache, applying different policies to different kinds of packets.

SIPVicious v0.2.3 - VoIP/SIP Auditing Toolkit

SIPVicious suite is a set of tools that can be used to audit SIP based VoIP systems. It currently consists of four tools:

  • svmap - this is a sip scanner. Lists SIP devices found on an IP range
  • svwar - identifies active extensions on a PBX
  • svcrack - an online password cracker for SIP PBX
  • svreport - manages sessions and exports reports to various formats

svmap
This is a sip scanner. When launched against ranges of ip address space, it will identify any SIP servers which it finds on the way. Also has the option to scan hosts on ranges of ports. For usage instructions check out SvmapUsage.

svwar
Traditionally a war dialer used to call up numbers on the phone network to identify ones that are interesting from ones that are not. With SIP, you can do something similar to identify active users.

svcrack
This is a password cracker making use of digest authentication. It is able to crack passwords on both registrar servers and proxy servers. It can make use of ranges of numbers or a dictionary file full of possible passwords.

svreport
Able to manage sessions created by the rest of the tools and export to pdf, xml, csv and plain text.

OSWA Assistant - Wireless Hacking & Auditing LiveCD Toolkit

The OSWA-Assistant is a no-Operating-System-required standalone toolkit which is solely focused on wireless auditing. As a result, in addition to the usual WiFi (802.11) auditing tools, it also covers Bluetooth and RFID auditing. Using the toolkit is as easy as popping it into your computer’s CDROM and making your computer boot from it!

This toolkit is a contribution to the wireless security/auditing community and, as the “Assistant” moniker implies, and is designed for the following groups of people:

  • IT-security auditors and professionals who need to execute technical wireless security testing against wireless infrastructure and clients;
  • IT professionals who have responsibility for ensuring the secure operation and administration of their organization’s wireless networks;
  •  SME (Small & Medium Enterprise) and SOHO (SmallOffice-HomeOffice) businesses who do not have either the technical expertise or the resources to employ such expertise to audit their wireless networks;
  • Non-technical-users who run wireless networks at home and who would like to audit the security of their wireless home networks and laptops but don’t know how.
