		<description><![CDATA[Listing of Firefox Add-ons useful  in penetration testing.]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>In this post, I just wanted to enumerate a few Firefox add-ons that I thought were very useful in conducting penetration tests. I&#8217;d be really interested to hear what Firefox extensions other people are using for pen testing. So here it goes!</p>
<p><strong>AddnEdit Cookies</strong>: This add-on allows you to easily add, delete and edit cookies in your browser.  (<a title="AddnEditCookies" href="http://addneditcookies.mozdev.org/" target="_blank">http://addneditcookies.mozdev.org/</a>) Unfortunately, the latest version does not support the newer Firefox 3, until the maintainer updates the package, I&#8217;ve edited the latest XPI to work with the latest versions of Firefox. A copy of it can be found <a title="AddnEditCookies" href="http://www.securitywire.com/addneditcookies-0.2.1.0.xpi">here</a>.</p>
<p><strong>DT Whois</strong> &#8211; Allows quick domaintools.com lookups for the page you are looking at (<a title="DT Whois" href="http://www.beysim.net/dtwhois/" target="_blank">http://www.beysim.net/dtwhois/</a>)</p>
<p><strong>Firebug</strong> &#8211; Allows you to read, debug and locally tweak HTML, Javascript and CSS right in Firefox (<a title="Firebug" href="http://getfirebug.com/" target="_blank">http://getfirebug.com/</a>)</p>
<p><strong>HackBar</strong> &#8211; The toolbar that tries to do it all! (<a title="Hackbar" href="http://devels-playground.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">http://devels-playground.blogspot.com/</a>)</p>
<p><strong>Leet Key</strong> &#8211; an add on that makes it trivial to convert text in various formats back and forth.  For example, URL Encode, Base64, Hex and even morse code. |\|347! (<a title="leetkey" href="http://leetkey.mozdev.org/" target="_blank">http://leetkey.mozdev.org/</a>)</p>
<p><strong>Live HTTP Headers</strong> &#8211; Allows you to watch, edit and replay HTTP requests (<a title="Live HTTP Headers" href="http://livehttpheaders.mozdev.org/" target="_blank">http://livehttpheaders.mozdev.org/</a>)</p>
<p><strong>SQL Inject Me, XSS Me, Access Me </strong>- Those are 3 separate add-ons from Seccom Labs that try to make it easy to test Sql Injection, XSS vulnerabilities and Access vulnerabilities. (<a title="Exploit Me" href="http://labs.securitycompass.com/index.php/exploit-me/" target="_blank">http://labs.securitycompass.com/index.php/exploit-me/</a>)</p>
<p><strong>SwitchProxy Tool</strong> &#8211; If you find yourself switching from no proxy, to burp proxy to paros proxy, etc a lot then you will enjoy switch proxy. It will allow you to switch proxy settings with just a few clicks! (<a title="Switch Proxy" href="http://mozmonkey.com/switchproxy/" target="_blank">http://mozmonkey.com/switchproxy/</a>)</p>
<p><strong>Tamper Data</strong> &#8211; It will allow you to selectively intercept HTTP and HTTPS traffic and tamper with the requests via it&#8217;s nice user interface. It will let you tamper with http headers, post and get requests. (<a title="Tamper Data" href="http://tamperdata.mozdev.org/">http://tamperdata.mozdev.org/</a>)</p>
<p><strong>Torbutton</strong> &#8211; If you need to hide behind Tor, it can be only a click away with Torbutton (<a title="Torbutton" href="https://www.torproject.org/torbutton/" target="_blank">https://www.torproject.org/torbutton/</a>)</p>
<p><strong>User Agent Switcher </strong>- Need to change your user-agent string in a jiffy? Want to look like a robot? User Agent Switcher is here for that! (<a title="User Agent Switcher" href="http://chrispederick.com/work/user-agent-switcher/" target="_blank">http://chrispederick.com/work/user-agent-switcher/</a>)</p>
<p><strong>exploit-db Search</strong> &#8211; Lets you search the exploit-db database right in the firefox search box (<a title="exploit-db" href="https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/50241" target="_blank">https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/50241</a>)</p>
<p><strong>SecurityWire Search</strong> &#8211; Lets you search the top security sites on the web right in the Firefox search box. All sites in the index have been handpicked by the SecurityWire Team. (<a title="SecurityWire Search" href="https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/58686" target="_blank">https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/58686</a>)</p>
<p>For a listing and easy installation of all these  on the mozilla ad-ons site. simply follow this link: <a title="Firefox Pen Tester's Tools" href="https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/collection/pentesterstools" target="_blank">https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/collection/pentesterstools</a></p>
<p>Hope you enjoy the add-ons, next post will be about general security add-ons for Firefox.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I created a NMAP NSE script that can identify and enumerate iSCSI targets on a host when the service has been identified to be running on port 3260. Currently the script only identifies all the target names on the service and their associated target addresses. Improvements for the future could be to identify the authentication protocol in use (if any) as well as adding brute force functionality.</p>
<p>A copy of the script can be downloaded from <a href="http://www.securitywire.com/nse/iscsi-enum-targets.nse">http://www.securitywire.com/nse/iscsi-enum-targets.nse</a></p>
<p>To use the script, it needs to be copied to your NMAP scripts folder (that would be /usr/share/nmap/scripts/ on many installations). After copying the script to the proper location, you need to run &#8220;nmap &#8211;script-updatedb&#8221; for NMAP to reload it&#8217;s script table and be aware of the new script.</p>
<p>Here is an example output of the script:</p>
<pre><span style="color: #993300;">$ nmap -sC localhost -p 3260

Starting Nmap 5.00 ( http://nmap.org ) at 2009-10-10 09:29 EDT
Interesting ports on localhost (127.0.0.1):
PORT     STATE SERVICE
3260/tcp open  iscsi
|  iscsi-enum-targets: iSCSI Targets found
|  TargetName=iqn.2009-10.com.securitywire:storage.lun2
|  TargetAddress=127.0.0.1:3260,1
|  TargetName=iqn.2009-10.com.securitywire:storage.lun1
|_ TargetAddress=127.0.0.1:3260,1

Nmap done: 1 IP address (1 host up) scanned in 0.10 seconds</span></pre>
<p>I only have limited resources to test the script, I would be interested to hear how it works out across a wide variety of iSCSI targets.</p>

		<title>Randomizing your MAC addresses on boot with macchanger</title>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>As you probably know, MAC addresses are physical addresses that are assigned to your network (wired or wireless) cards by the manufacturer of the device. For this reason it is possible to  identify a computer that connected to a network via this MAC address. For a little bit of added anonymity when hooking your computer to a foreign network (wired or wireless), you can change your MAC address on Linux using a tool called <a href="http://www.alobbs.com/macchanger" target="_blank">macchanger</a>.</p>
<p>Macchanger has an option &#8220;-r&#8221; that randomly picks a mac address for you.  Out of 5 minutes boredom and lack of internet connectivity, I decided to make use of this functionality on my beloved asus eeepc pentest toy by writting a small boot up script that detects all attached network devices and randomize their mac address on boot. This laptop runs Backtrack 4 which leaves all the interface in a down mode on boot up; therefore, it was as simple as adding a little script to the /etc/rc.local file to randomize all the MAC address on boot. The script is as follows:</p>
<pre>for IFACE in $(ifconfig -a -s | egrep -v "^(lo|Iface)" | cut -f 1 -d" ")
do
        macchanger -r $IFACE
done</pre>
<p>Thats it! With this 4 liner, your machine will now get random mac addresses every time it boots up. One caveat is that if you add a new device after boot, it will obviously not work for that new device&#8217;s mac address. Also if you are under a distribution that does put the network interface in &#8220;UP&#8221; mode on boot, like most distributions; then you will want to make sure the code runs before your network scripts. Last but not least, if you do not have macchanger already installed, on a debian based distro you can simply install it by running &#8220;sudo apt-get install macchanger&#8221;; for other systems, simply visit the <a href="http://www.alobbs.com/macchanger" target="_blank">macchanger web site</a> for more information.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The Open Hack Policy (OHP), grants an ethical hacker permission to practice their penetration testing skills or new shiny tools on a participating domain.  Vulnerabilities found via the OHP should be credited to the individual that discovered them on the site&#8217;s OHP page. If you run a website and/or domain, and the policy seems to be a good match for you then you are encouraged to use the OHP on your domain(s) and make sure to let us know what work and what doesn&#8217;t for you so we can update the policy accordingly.  The OHP should be a living document and will be continually updated and improved.  The Goal behind the OHP is to promote ethical hacking and responsible disclosure to domain operators that want to opt-in the OHP. Collaboration between ethical hackers and domain operators should be beneficial to both parties.</p>
<p>More details on the OHP: <a href="http://www.securitywire.com/ohp.php">Open Hack Policy</a>.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The <a href="http://nmap.org/5/">Nmap 5.00</a> network mapper (often refered to as just a port scanner) has been released this week, it is a major release like we haven&#8217;t seen in quite a few years. This new release now includes a few extra tools that were not present in prior versions of nmap. Most notably a new tool called <a title="Ncat" href="http://nmap.org/ncat/" target="_blank">Ncat</a> aim to replace the venerable netcat and adds many new features that were not available in netcat such has SSL and IPv6 support. Additionally the Zenmap GUI has been updated with a number of features including a neat <a title="Zenmap" href="http://nmap.org/5/#changes-zenmap" target="_blank">graphical network topology feature</a>. Fyodor (main developer for nmap) has spent the summer scanning the internet and doing so was able to<a title="NMAP Performance improvement" href="http://nmap.org/5/#changes-performance" target="_blank"> improve nmap performance dramatically</a>. Bottom line is that you will want to update to nmap 5 if you haven&#8217;t already! Happy network mapping!</p>
