Wfuzz
Web application fuzzer
Wfuzz provides a framework to automate web applications security assessments and could help you to secure your web applications by finding and exploiting web application vulnerabilities. Wfuzz it is based on a simple concept: it replaces any reference to the FUZZ keyword by the value of a given payload. A payload in Wfuzz is a source of data. This simple concept allows any input to be injected in any field of an HTTP request, allowing to perform complex web security attacks in different web application components such as: parameters, authentication, forms, directories/files, headers, etc. -

proxy.py
Utilize all available CPU cores for accepting new client connections
proxy.py is made with performance in mind. By default, proxy.py will try to utilize all available CPU cores to it for accepting new client connections. This is achieved by starting AcceptorPool which listens on configured server port. Then, AcceptorPool starts Acceptor processes (--num-acceptors) to accept incoming client connections. Alongside, if --threadless is enabled, ThreadlessPool is setup which starts Threadless processes (--num-workers) to handle the incoming client connections. Each Acceptor process delegates the accepted client connection to a threadless process via Work class. Currently, HttpProtocolHandler is the default work class. HttpProtocolHandler simply assumes that incoming clients will follow HTTP specification. Specific HTTP proxy and HTTP server implementations are written as plugins of HttpProtocolHandler. -

Written in Python 3 with a modular architecture, Pacu has tools for every step of the pen testing process, covering the full cyber kill chain. Pacu is the aggregation of all of the exploitation experience and research from our countless prior AWS red team engagements. Automating components of the assessment not only improves efficiency but also allows our assessment team to be much more thorough in large environments. What used to take days to manually enumerate can be now be achieved in minutes. There are currently over 35 modules that range from reconnaissance, persistence, privilege escalation, enumeration, data exfiltration, log manipulation, and miscellaneous general exploitation. -

It features several protocols, including Ethernet, IP, TCP, UDP, ICMP, IGMP, ARP, NMB and SMB1, SMB2 and SMB3 and more. Impacket's object oriented API makes it easy to work with deep hierarchies of protocols. It can construct packets from scratch, as well as parse them from raw data. -

SSH-MITM
Server for security audits supporting public key authentication
ssh man-in-the-middle (ssh-mitm) server for security audits supporting publickey authentication, session hijacking and file manipulation. SSH-MITM is a man in the middle SSH Server for security audits and malware analysis. Password and publickey authentication are supported and SSH-MITM is able to detect, if a user is able to login with publickey authentication on the remote server. This allows SSH-MITM to accept the same key as the destination server. If publickey authentication is not possible, the authentication will fall back to password-authentication. When publickey authentication is possible, a forwarded agent is needed to login to the remote server. In cases, when no agent was forwarded, SSH-MITM can rediredt the session to a honeypot. -

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. -

As an Arch-based distribution, it benefits from the rolling release model, providing users with the latest software versions and kernel updates. BerserkArch is a dist "designed to make you powerful" for specific use cases like reverse-engineering binaries and automating exploits, rather than being an easy-to-use distribution for general beginners. -

The framework contains a built-in SMB, HTTP and DNS server that can be controlled and used by the various plugins, it also contains a modified version of the SSLStrip proxy that allows for HTTP modification and a partial HSTS bypass. As of version 0.9.8, MITMf supports active packet filtering and manipulation (basically what better filters did, only better), allowing users to modify any type of traffic or protocol. The configuration file can be edited on-the-fly while MITMf is running, the changes will be passed down through the framework. -
