VeraCrypt
Open source disk encryption with strong security for the Paranoid
VeraCrypt is a free disk encryption software brought to you by IDRIX (https://www.idrix.fr) and based on TrueCrypt 7.1a. It adds enhanced security to the algorithms used for system and partitions encryption making it immune to new developments in brute-force attacks. It also solves many vulnerabilities and security issues found in TrueCrypt. This enhanced security adds some delay ONLY to the opening of encrypted partitions without any performance impact to the application use phase. This is acceptable to the legitimate owner but it makes it much harder for an attacker to gain access to the encrypted data. All released files are PGP signed with key ID=0x680D16DE, available on key servers and downloadable at https://www.idrix.fr/VeraCrypt/VeraCrypt_PGP_public_key.asc VeraCrypt can mount TrueCrypt volumes. It also can convert them to VeraCrypt format. Documentation: https://www.veracrypt.fr/en/Documentation.html FAQ : https://www.veracrypt.fr/en/FAQ.html -

thc-hydra
Shows how easy it would be to gain unauthorized access to a system
Number one of the biggest security holes are passwords, as every password security study shows. This tool is a proof of concept code, to give researchers and security consultants the possibility to show how easy it would be to gain unauthorized access from remote to a system. There are already several login hacker tools available, however, none does either support more than one protocol to attack or support parallelized connects. It was tested to compile cleanly on Linux, Windows/Cygwin, Solaris, FreeBSD/OpenBSD, QNX (Blackberry 10) and MacOS. However the module engine for new services is very easy so it won't take a long time until even more services are supported. Via the command line options you specify which logins to try, which passwords, if SSL should be used, how many parallel tasks to use for attacking, etc. PROTOCOL is the protocol you want to use for attacking, e.g. ftp, smtp, http-get or many others are available. -

Kraken tool
Kraken: A multi-platform distributed brute-force password cracking
Kraken is an online distributed brute force password cracking tool. It allows you to parallelize dictionaries and crunch word generator-based cracking across multiple machines both as a web app in a web browser and as a standalone electron-based client. Kraken aims to be easy to use, fault-tolerant and scalable. Kraken is a dockerized application using docker-compose which will launch the db (Postgres), s3-compliant file storage (Minio), the server and the browser client. You can find the docker-compose file in the root directory of the repository. To upload password lists or dictionaries, upload them to Minio Console at localhost:9001. View the steps explained for a detailed guide Otherwise, you can generate word lists dynamically using crunch. Window EXE portable client needs to run in the folder with its hashcat dependencies. Hashcat files can be downloaded from their home page. -

Gobuster
Directory/File, DNS and VHost busting tool written in Go
Gobuster is a tool used to brute-force. This project is born out of the necessity to have something that didn't have a fat Java GUI (console FTW), something that did not do recursive brute force, something that allowed me to brute force folders and multiple extensions at once, something that compiled to native on multiple platforms, something that was faster than an interpreted script (such as Python), and something that didn't require a runtime. Provides several modes, like the classic directory brute-forcing mode, DNS subdomain brute-forcing mode, the mode that enumerates open S3 buckets and looks for existence and bucket listings, and the virtual host brute-forcing mode (not the same as DNS!). Since this tool is written in Go you need to install the Go language/compiler/etc. Full details of installation and set up can be found on the Go language website. Once installed you have two options. You need at least go 1.16.0 to compile gobuster. -

PDFRip
A multi-threaded PDF password cracking utility
A multi-threaded PDF password cracking utility equipped with commonly encountered password format builders and dictionary attacks. pdfrip is a fast multithreaded PDF password cracking utility written in Rust with support for wordlist-based dictionary attacks, date and number range bruteforcing, and a custom query builder for password formats. You can write your own queries like STRING{69-420} with the -q option which would generate a wordlist with the full number range. You can pass in an year as the input with the -d option which would bruteforce all 365 days of the year in DDMMYYYY format which is a pretty commonly used password format for PDFs. Just give a number range like 5000-100000 with the -n option and it would bruteforce with the whole range. -

dirsearch
Web path scanner
An advanced command-line tool designed to brute force directories and files in webservers, AKA web path scanner. Wordlist is a text file, each line is a path. About extensions, unlike other tools, dirsearch only replaces the %EXT% keyword with extensions from -e flag. For wordlists without %EXT% (like SecLists), -f | --force-extensions switch is required to append extensions to every word in wordlist, as well as the /. To use multiple wordlists, you can separate your wordlists with commas. Example: wordlist1.txt,wordlist2.txt. Default values for dirsearch flags can be edited in the configuration file: default.conf. The thread number (-t | --threads) reflects the number of separated brute force processes. And so the bigger the thread number is, the faster dirsearch runs. By default, the number of threads is 30, but you can increase it if you want to speed up the progress. -

Ray Tracing in One Weekend Book Series
The Ray Tracing in One Weekend series of books
The Ray Tracing in One Weekend series of books are now available to the public for free online. They are now released under the CC0 license. This means that they are as close to public domain as we can get. (While that also frees you from the requirement of providing attribution, it would help the overall project if you could point back to this web site as a service to other users.) These books are formatted for printing directly from your browser, where you can also (on most browsers) save them as PDF. In Ray Tracing in One Weekend, you will build a simple brute-force path tracer. Continuing with Ray Tracing: The Next Week, you will add textures, volumes (like fog), rectangles, instances, lights, and support for lots of objects using a bounding volume hierarchy (BVH). Finally, with Ray Tracing: The Rest Of Your Life, we'll dive into the math of creating a very serious ray tracer. -

EMAGNET
Automated hacking tool to find leaked databases with 97.1% accuracy
Automated hacking tool that will find leaked databases with 97.1% accurate to grab mail + password. Before using Emagnet, please remember that with great power comes great responsibility. Pastebin patched the vulnerability I previously used in order to get recent uploads, so at the moment it is not possible to get recently uploaded files, you are now limited to all syntaxes exempt the default one (95% get's uploaded as 'text' and this is removed from all recent upload lists). Bruteforce support for Spotify accounts, Instagram accounts, ssh servers, Microsoft RDP clients and Gmail accounts. Emagnet is a very powerful tool for capturing email addresses and passwords from leaked databases uploaded on Pastebin. It's almost impossible to find leaked passwords after they're removed from the list on pastebin.com. Either they have been deleted by Pastebin's techs or the upload is just one in the crowd. -

node-rate-limiter-flexible
Count and limit requests by key with atomic increments
rate-limiter-flexible counts and limits number of actions by key and protects from DDoS and brute force attacks at any scale. It works with Redis, process Memory, Cluster or PM2, Memcached, MongoDB, MySQL, PostgreSQL and allows to control of requests rate in single process or distributed environment. All operations in memory or distributed environments use atomic increments against race conditions. Combine limiters, block key for some duration, delay actions, manage failover with insurance options, configure smart key blocking in memory and many others. Average request takes 0.7ms in Cluster and 2.5ms in a Distributed application. See benchmarks. It provides a unified API for all limiters. Whenever your application grows, it is ready. Prepare your limiters in minutes. No matter which node package you prefer: redis or ioredis, sequelize/typeorm or knex, memcached, native driver or mongoose. It works with all of them. -
