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.

EJBCA is an enterprise class PKI Certificate Authority built on JEE technology. It is a robust, high performance, platform independent, flexible, and component based CA to be used standalone or integrated in other JEE applications.

LDAP Explorer is a multi platform, graphical LDAP tool that enables you to browse, modify and manage LDAP servers.

Fail2ban scans log files (e.g. /var/log/apache/error_log) and bans IPs that show the malicious signs -- too many password failures, seeking for exploits, etc. Generally Fail2Ban is then used to update firewall rules to reject the IP addresses for a specified amount of time, although any arbitrary other action (e.g. sending an email) could also be configured. Out of the box Fail2Ban comes with filters for various services (apache, courier, ssh, etc). Fail2Ban is able to reduce the rate of incorrect authentications attempts however it cannot eliminate the risk that weak authentication presents. Configure services to use only two factor or public/private authentication mechanisms if you really want to protect services.

The uuid package generates and inspects UUIDs based on RFC 4122 and DCE 1.1: Authentication and Security Services. This package is based on the github/pborman/uuid package. It differs from these earlier packages in that a UUID is a 16 byte array rather than a byte slice. One loss due to this change is the ability to represent an invalid UUID (vs a NIL UUID). Full go doc style documentation for the package can be viewed online without installing this package by using the GoDoc site.

CID (Closed In Directory) is a set of bash scripts for inserting and managing Linux computers in Active Directory domains. Modifications made to the system allow Linux to behave like a Windows computer within AD.

LDAP Account Manager (LAM) is a webfrontend for managing accounts stored in an LDAP directory. You can use templates for account creation and use multiple configuration profiles. Account information can be exported as PDF file.

Opens up IIS Proxy Servers using NTLM to non-Microsoft browsers, etc

Web application for browsing and searching contact details within an LDAP directory. Supports Microsoft/Samba Active Directory, OpenLDAP and Novell eDirectory.

phpLDAPadmin is a web-based LDAP administration tool for managing your LDAP server. With it you can browse your LDAP tree, view LDAP schema, perform searches, create, delete, copy and edit LDAP entries. You can even copy entries between servers.

Authelia is an open-source authentication and authorization server and portal fulfilling the identity and access management (IAM) role of information security in providing multi-factor authentication and single sign-on (SSO) for your applications via a web portal. It acts as a companion for common reverse proxies. With a compressed container size smaller than 20 megabytes and observed memory usage normally under 30 megabytes, it's one of the most lightweight solutions available. Written in Go and React, authorization policies and many other backend tasks are completed in mere milliseconds and login portal loading times of 100 milliseconds makes it one of the fastest solutions available. Processors can use a lot of electricity, but when idle usage is basically so low that you can't measure it, and active usage in a small business environment being under 1% you can rest easy (with the exclusion of password hashing).

Appwrite is a self-hosted and cloud backend-as-a-service platform that provides developers with all the core APIs required to build any application. Build your entire backend within minutes and scale effortlessly using Appwrite's open-source platform.
