SoftEther VPN
Cross-platform multi-protocol VPN software
An open-source free cross-platform multi-protocol VPN program, as an academic project from University of Tsukuba, under the Apache License 2.0. The API Suite allows you to easily develop your original SoftEther VPN Server management application to control the VPN Server (e.g. creating users, adding Virtual Hubs, disconnecting a specified VPN sessions) from JavaScript, TypeScript, C# or other languages. SoftEther VPN ("SoftEther" means "Software Ethernet") is one of the world's most powerful and easy-to-use multi-protocol VPN software. It runs on Windows, Linux, Mac, FreeBSD and Solaris. SoftEther VPN is an optimum alternative to OpenVPN and Microsoft's VPN servers. SoftEther VPN has a clone-function of OpenVPN Server. You can integrate from OpenVPN to SoftEther VPN smoothly. SoftEther VPN is faster than OpenVPN. SoftEther VPN also supports Microsoft SSTP VPN for Windows Vista / 7 / 8. No more need to pay expensive charges for Windows Server license for Remote-Access VPN function. -

Detect It Easy
Program for determining types of files for Windows, Linux and MacOS
Detect It Easy (DiE) is a tool for determining the type and internal features of binary and other file formats. It is widely used by malware analysts, digital forensics investigators, reverse engineers, and security researchers to quickly inspect unknown files and infer their type, architecture, compiler/packer used, and internal structure. DiE supports a large variety of file formats — from common executables (Windows PE, Linux ELF, macOS Mach-O) to archives, mobile packages (APK, IPA), legacy binaries, compressed or packed files, and more — making it a versatile first step in analysis or triage workflows. The tool offers both a graphical user interface as well as a command-line interface, allowing flexible use across environments (desktop, servers, automation). Its detection engine is signature-based, but also includes heuristics that help when signatures are missing or obfuscated. This helps when analyzing packed, compressed, or partially corrupted files. -

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. -

fsociety
Modular CLI framework for managing penetration testing tools
fsociety is a modular penetration testing framework designed to provide a unified interface for running and managing a wide range of security tools. It focuses on simplifying penetration testing workflows by integrating multiple external security utilities into a single command line environment. Instead of implementing its own security scanners, the framework acts as a wrapper and orchestrator that helps users discover, install, and execute tools from various GitHub repositories. Its modular architecture organizes tools into categories such as information gathering, networking, web application security, and password testing. This structure allows users to quickly navigate through different security tasks while maintaining a consistent interface. fsociety can automatically clone and manage required tools, reducing the manual effort typically needed to set up a penetration testing toolkit. fsociety is distributed as a Python package. -

Ligolo-ng
An advanced, yet simple, tunneling/pivoting tool
Ligolo-ng is a simple, lightweight and fast tool that allows pentesters to establish tunnels from a reverse TCP/TLS connection using a tun interface (without the need of SOCKS). When running the relay/proxy server, a tun interface is used, packets sent to this interface are translated and then transmitted to the agent's remote network. You need to download the Wintun driver (used by WireGuard) and place the wintun.dll in the same folder as Ligolo. You can listen to ports on the agent and redirect connections to your control/proxy server. You can easily hit more than 100 Mbits/sec. Here is a test using iperf from a 200Mbits/s server to a 200Mbits/s connection. -

SimpleX
The first messaging platform operating without user identifiers
Other apps have user IDs: Signal, Matrix, Session, Briar, Jami, Cwtch, etc. SimpleX does not, not even random numbers. This radically improves your privacy. The video shows how you connect to your friend via their 1-time QR-code, in person or via a video link. You can also connect by sharing an invitation link. Temporary anonymous pairwise identifiers SimpleX uses temporary anonymous pairwise addresses and credentials for each user contact or group member. It allows to deliver messages without user profile identifiers, providing better meta-data privacy than alternatives. Many communication platforms are vulnerable to MITM attacks by servers or network providers. To prevent it SimpleX apps pass one-time keys out-of-band when you share an address as a link or a QR code. Double-ratchet protocol. OTR messaging with perfect forward secrecy and break-in recovery. NaCL cryptobox in each queue to prevent traffic correlation between message queues if TLS is compromised. -

Instagram OSINT Tool
Instagram OSINT tool for gathering profile data and public posts
InstagramOSINT is an open source intelligence (OSINT) tool designed to collect publicly accessible information from Instagram profiles. It retrieves details that are not always easily visible when browsing an Instagram account normally, allowing investigators, researchers, and developers to gather structured data about a target profile. It works by scraping publicly available profile information and extracting metadata from Instagram pages using Python. It collects various attributes such as the username, profile name, follower counts, account status indicators, and profile metadata. In addition to profile information, it can also retrieve post-related data and download publicly available images associated with an account. The results are saved locally in structured formats such as JSON-style data inside text files, making them easy to analyze or integrate into other applications. InstagramOSINT also exposes a Python API so developers can import the functionality. -
