Hackers playground…?

I. Introduction

This article was ment to be, because, as you will notice, more and more hacking tools for windows have appeared…. Of course, you will say that hackin’ histeria began on *nix systems… and will exist forever… R.I.P.

II. Tools

Now this is were all the fun starts… because, as you will notice there are a number of tools that are ported, or very similar to *nix tools, that can be found for windows…

1. Mozilla [Firefox] - this is a must be (for security reasons), also a browser is comonly needed for anybody who wants to do webhacking…. so get it while it’s hot

2. nmap - didn’t you now? NMap was ported to Windoze, without the GUI, but that doesn’t bother anybody, does it? [ www.insecure.org ]

3. Putty - our grandious telnet/rlogin/ssh client… basicaly you can do with it any unencrypted type of conection; from telnet, ftp, smtp to http… [ grab it ]

4. Nemesis - your daily packet builder for Windows, not as good as HPing but an alternative… at least you can Remote LanD with it [ http://nemesis.sourceforge.net/ ]

III. Brains

You’ll need to have a basic knwolege about hacking, which I supose you have so i’ll give you a list with usefull links for exploits, whitepapers, etc… you will just need some time, to read them, or to be pacient…

IV. Ambition

This is a must be… because without ambitions you will give up very quickly and will start posting on huge groups things like:
can someone help me hack yahoohow do I flood someoneI want to be a hacker can someone help meI’m a win user can somebody give me a shell?

V. Epilogue

I don’t like that much Windows, but it’s gonna be [and it is] a great alternative for the ones who don’t use *nix systems… so cut the crap and learn… peace
