This repository is a guide for amateurs pen testers and a summary of hacking tools to practice ethical hacking, pen testing and web security. Most of these tools are UNIX compatible and MIT licensed. Note that Linux is the best operating system to practice ethical hacking.
Important note : I am NOT a professional pen tester or infosec, I am just a student who want to learn and taught to others. Feel free to contribute and give corrections!
Penetration testing is a type of security testing that is used to test the insecurity of an application. It is conducted to find the security risk which might be present in the system.
If a system is not secured, then any attacker can disrupt or take authorized access to that system. Security risk is normally an accidental error that occurs while developing and implementing the software. For example, configuration errors, design errors, and software bugs, etc. Learn more
Know about risks on the internet and how they can be prevented is very useful. Especially as a developer. Web hacking and penetration testing is the v2.0 of self-defense! But does know about tools and how to use them is really all you need to become a pen tester? Surely not. A real penetration tester must be able to proceed rigorously and detect the weaknesses of an application. He must be able to identify the technology behind and test every single door that might be open to hackers.
This repository aim first to establish a reflection method on penetration testing and explain how to proceed to secure an application. And secondly, to regroup all kind of tools or resources pen testers need. Be sure to know basics of programming languages and Internet security before learning pen testing.
Black/grey/white hat hacker : Someone who uses bugs or exploits to break into systems or applications. The goal and the method differs depending if he's a black, grey or white hat hacker.
Penetration tester : Most likely a white hacker who test applications and systems to secure them or find vulnerabilities.
Security researcher : Someone who practice pen testing and browse the web everyday to find phishing/fake websites, infected servers, bugs or vulnerabilities. He can work for a company so he's responsible for the security of systems.
