Ravan : A Distributed Hash Brute Forcer !

Ravan : A Distributed Hash Brute Forcer !

Dec 01, 2010
A short post for  Ravan  this time. It is a JavaScript based Distributed Computing system that can perform brute force attacks on salted hashes by distributing the task across several browsers. Salted and plain versions of the following hashing algorithms are currently supported: MD5 SHA1 SHA256 SHA512 How to use ? Using Ravan is very simple, just follow these steps: Go to  https://www.andlabs.org/tools/ravan.html Enter the value of the hash that must be cracked Enter the value of the salt, if it is not a salted hash then leave it blank Enter the charset. Only these characters will be use in the brute force attack Select the hashing algorithm (MD5, SHA1, SHA256, SHA512) Select the position of the salt. (clear-text+salt or salt+clear-text) Hit ' Submit Hash '. If hash is successfully submitted it would return a URL. Send this URL to all the workers and get them to click 'start' on that page. Keep the main page open without reloading till the hash is cracked. That is all!
HTTPS Everywhere : Another Tool to Protect from Firesheep !

HTTPS Everywhere : Another Tool to Protect from Firesheep !

Dec 01, 2010
HTTPS Everywhere  is a Firefox extension produced as a collaboration between The Tor Project and the Electronic Frontier Foundation. It encrypts your communications with a number of major websites. The EFF launched a new version of HTTPS Everywhere, a security tool that offers enhanced protection for Firefox browser users against Firesheep and other exploits of webpage security flaws. HTTPS secures web browsing by encrypting both requests from your browser to websites and the resulting pages that are displayed. Without HTTPS, your online reading habits and activities are vulnerable to eavesdropping, and your accounts are vulnerable to hijacking. Unfortunately, while many sites on the web offer some limited support for HTTPS, it is often difficult to use. Websites may default to using the unencrypted, and therefore vulnerable, HTTP protocol or may fill HTTPS pages with insecure HTTP references. EFF's HTTPS Everywhere tool uses carefully crafted rules to switch sites from HTTP to HTTPS.

AI Copilot: Launching Innovation Rockets, But Beware of the Darkness Ahead

Apr 15, 2024Secure Coding / Artificial Intelligence
Imagine a world where the software that powers your favorite apps, secures your online transactions, and keeps your digital life could be outsmarted and taken over by a cleverly disguised piece of code. This isn't a plot from the latest cyber-thriller; it's actually been a reality for years now. How this will change – in a positive or negative direction – as artificial intelligence (AI) takes on a larger role in software development is one of the big uncertainties related to this brave new world. In an era where AI promises to revolutionize how we live and work, the conversation about its security implications cannot be sidelined. As we increasingly rely on AI for tasks ranging from mundane to mission-critical, the question is no longer just, "Can AI  boost cybersecurity ?" (sure!), but also "Can AI  be hacked? " (yes!), "Can one use AI  to hack? " (of course!), and "Will AI  produce secure software ?" (well…). This thought leadership article is about the latter. Cydrill  (a

Wikileaks suffered with distributed denial of service (DDoS) attack !

Dec 01, 2010
Wikileaks suffered with distributed denial of service (DDoS) attack ! Wikileaks suffered another distributed denial of service (DDoS) attack Tuesday morning, reports Fast Company.  This attack was much more intense than Sunday's but still did not come close to actually shutting down the site. A computer hacker known as " The Jester ," shocked officials when he claimed to be behind the cyber attack that disabled the WikiLeaks website Sunday morning, just before it released hundreds of thousands of classified U.S. embassy cables to the public. The Jester, an ex-soldier justified his hacking by accusing the website of " attempting to endanger the lives of our troops, 'other assets' & foreign relations. " The self-proclaimed " hacktivist for good " looked to the Web to continue combating terrorism and organizations that appear to back Islamic extremism after ending his military service. Cyber security expert Mikko Hypponen of F-Secure told CNN he believe

Cyber Crime : E-mail hacker fined £20,000

Dec 01, 2010
A hacker who posed as a university graduate to gain access to the e-mails of hundreds of unsuspecting students has been given a suspended prison sentence and ordered to pay more than £20,000 in costs and compensation. Daniel Woo, a 23-year-old Bulgarian national, was sentenced for offences under the Misuse of Computers Act on 25 November. Woo was arrested in November 2006 at the University of London's School of Oriental and African Studies after being spotted by IT staff investigating anomalies in the running of the computer network. He used various hacking techniques to break a number of students' passwords, thereby gaining access to their accounts. Woo then placed computer software known as 'Cain and Able' on a number of machines, which enabled him to collect further student passwords and gather traffic passing through the university's computer network. It was subsequently established that fraud had taken place on a number of the compromised pa
