Do you ever said, "If only I had known this program before ! "?
Me too, and it still happens to me regularly.
I've prepared a list of tools (programs, sites or systems) that I use and will use again for a long time.
This is an opportunity to share with you, and possibly discover tools not listed here that you use. Do not hesitate to participate!
SystemExplorer
SystemExplorer is a free program that I recommend because it matches the type of anti-virus programs should exist. Namely: Go beyond the "simple" by signature or heuristic detection. In fact, here it is the user himself, helped by the program, which recognizes malware.
You have two ways to use it, you install it as a normal program (standard installation) or you can download the "portable" version, ie it just double click on the executable file to launch it without prior installation.
SystemExplorer is an advanced version of the famous "Task Manager" of Windows. It displays including the use of processors, RAM, network. It lists the processes, services, programs launched at startup, drivers etc ....
There are two particularly interesting points in this program: The ability to scan directly processes and the ability to display the history of the last executed programs.
The scan in question is a much more evolved than a given antivirus scan because it not only allows to scan with all anti-virus at the same time but in addition it is based on what is called a hash (basically it's a signature of a file) to look online and in their database any risks associated with a program.
As for history, it can detect malware easily and their execution date. But in addition we can find the head of a program bug ... etc.
VirusTotal
A doubt about a file? Your antivirus launches yet no alert? With VirusTotal you can directly and free
scan it with tens antivirus get very detailed and useful results. In fact, with SystemExplorer can just use VirusTotal to make this "multiple" scan.
If you want maximum detail on a suspicious program, you can directly visit the site to get the VirusTotal scan results with interesting information.
Here is an example of detecting a keylogger:
It shows the number of antivirus that detect the file, but also the description of the program with a review of its creator that tells us, even without continuing to read the rest, it is a tool to create keyloggers.
There is also the program's compilation date. Also specify that the file is an executable Portable (Portable Executable File). In other words it is a Windows program that can most likely be decompiled to track a hacker.
Anubis
Anubis is the level above VirusTotal, it comes directly launch a suspicious program on a test machine and observe what he does. Its use is usually reserved for people who knew them. But nothing prevents you to save the information (Anubis can create a report in PDF format) to provide them to someone who will help you.
In this case here we can see the changed registry values and DLLs loaded (among others) but none specifically suspicious behavior is detected since it is only if a "keyloggers builder" who therefore no malicious actions by itself (except create a malicious program).
Kali Linux
Metasploit allows for him to test "exploits" (code to exploit a vulnerability) on our system to test its safety.
OWASP Zed Attack Proxy, Nessus and other vulnerability scanners are more or less specialized.
Note that there are plenty to say about Kali and its tools, but it is not possible to detail all in one post.
Notepad ++
WordPress
Paint.net

Kali Linux
I am referring to Kali Linux in general as there are tools. Among them I would mention the most popular network analyzer Wireshark, the Metasploit Framework to test vulnerabilities and OWASP Zed Attack Proxy and Nessus.
I talk about some of these tools in the guide "How To Become A Hacker" and I also talked Wireshark here. WireShark is basically a network protocol analyzer for network administrators. He lets see what circulates between computers ... whose passwords in clear ...
Metasploit allows for him to test "exploits" (code to exploit a vulnerability) on our system to test its safety.
OWASP Zed Attack Proxy, Nessus and other vulnerability scanners are more or less specialized.

Notepad ++
Notepad ++ is a text editor that I use most often for web development. It is stable, customizable, fast and syntax highlighting is very good, everything you need for a programmer.
When I need an integrated development environment to program further, I use Visual Studio on Windows or Linux Geany. Note that LightTable seems interesting too and would love to get testimonials about it if someone uses it!
It must be the most popular content creation tool that makes sense. I never had a problem with WordPress.
Here are some important points: wordpress
It is very effective and easy to use (I write elsewhere in this moment for my smartphone).
It is highly customizable via plugins and control that was on the source code.
It is secured by its active community that designs security patches and other optimizations.
I regularly use Paint.Net for all graphic editions. Paint_NET
The images I added to include items created with this software. It is very easy to handle, stable and lightweight. This last point is very important and Photoshop experts will have noticed: Its launch is relatively slow.
With Paint.Net no problem, it also works well with a fragile configuration.
Of course there is much more limited than Photoshop on how to act on the pictures but now I would say it's a choice between making art or simple presentation images. :)
So you notice that it is not particularly of entirely new programs or even 100% related to hacking, it is especially useful programs for me.
If you have found other interesting tools or if you use other everyday that you recommend, please share them in the comments.
