Tools that should be on every techie thumb drive Part 1.
Tools that should be on every techie thumb drive.
This is a list of tools I personally run and some that were recommended to me via twitter post a few weeks back. Enjoy part one and soon I will be posting part two so if you want to add your own tools to this list leave them in the comments. Also not that it will happen but if this somehow gets on digg could someone be so kind to drop this list in the comments there? This being a wordpress blog and not very stable I would hate it if people couldn’t see the list.
ccleaner: To view links or images in this forum your post count must be 20 or greater. You currently have 0 posts. Good util for cleaning the registry and removing privacy files. Good to run after your done with a clients system.
AVG: To view links or images in this forum your post count must be 20 or greater. You currently have 0 posts. Are you working on a machine where the user didnt think they needed a virus checker? First slap them on the back of the head and then install AVG.
autoruns: To view links or images in this forum your post count must be 20 or greater. You currently have 0 posts. See everything set to autostart on a system and you will soon realize how much junk people install on their systems.
spacemonger: To view links or images in this forum your post count must be 20 or greater. You currently have 0 posts. Get a nice visual image of all the files on a system and notice the giant avi file they downloaded which is filing up the harddrive. They swear they never saw that file before but you know better.
Memtest86: To view links or images in this forum your post count must be 20 or greater. You currently have 0 posts. Could it be the RAM? did you swap it out? do you have enough ram and patience to figure out what is bad and where? I don’t.
TrueCrypt: To view links or images in this forum your post count must be 20 or greater. You currently have 0 posts. Do you wear a tin foil hat? Are you reading this through a proxy server just in case? Is the lone gunman and 9/11 conspiracies monthly delivered to an unnamed PO box around the corner? IF so then you should encrypt all of your drives and thumb drives.
SysInternals: To view links or images in this forum your post count must be 20 or greater. You currently have 0 posts. not so much a single app but a collection of apps from microsoft.

CPU-Z: To view links or images in this forum your post count must be 20 or greater. You currently have 0 posts.

EDIT: Switching something from “DRAFT” to “PUBLISH” is a really important step. Sorry guys.
Let me preface all of these tools with, the fact that some don’t come “portable”. To make them so, I have dropped the installer / setup file into Universal Extractor and then cleaned up the directory.
PortSwigger’s Burp Suite - To view links or images in this forum your post count must be 20 or greater. You currently have 0 posts.
This tool is essential to any web application security guru’s tool belt. If you haven’t used it already it is time to get schooled up on this wreaking ball.
Network Miner - To view links or images in this forum your post count must be 20 or greater. You currently have 0 posts.
Takes a live feed, or a pcap file and dumps files, frames, and runs p0f. It even allows you to do searches for keywords like “password”
NZB-O-Matic Plus - To view links or images in this forum your post count must be 20 or greater. You currently have 0 posts.
I swear by this tool for downloading NZB files. Now other people us hellanzb on Linux. There is another one that was even more recommended for Linux but I can’t remember it at the moment. I’ll find it and post it to Mubix’s Links or if someone wants to comment on this post.
Wootalyzer - To view links or images in this forum your post count must be 20 or greater. You currently have 0 posts.
Woot.com has one awesome deal each day that shows up like clock work at 1 AM EST, and always 5 dollars shipping. (Yes, even if it is a 60 inch plasma). And if you get as addicted to Woot as my family has, this application is a must.
FastStone Capture - To view links or images in this forum your post count must be 20 or greater. You currently have 0 posts.
Still hands down the best screen capture utility known to man. You can still find the Freeware version out there if you look around a bit. The built in editor, ruler and color picker just add to it’s awesomeness
HFS (HTTP File Server) - To view links or images in this forum your post count must be 20 or greater. You currently have 0 posts.
Always at the top of my list, this tool has been my most valuable asset on my USB keys for a couple years now.
Looking Glass - To view links or images in this forum your post count must be 20 or greater. You currently have 0 posts.
A tool by Errata Security, it’s designed for checking files on Vista to see which ‘advanced security’ features aren’t being used, such as ASLR, NX and unsafe functions (swprintf)
MobaLiveCD - To view links or images in this forum your post count must be 20 or greater. You currently have 0 posts.
Allows you to boot a LiveCD within your Windows environment using QEMU. Booting Back Track 3 works but the networking side is a bit flaky. Can’t wait to see where this project goes.
Process Explorer - To view links or images in this forum your post count must be 20 or greater. You currently have 0 posts.
If you haven’t switched out Task Manager with Process Explorer yet I think you have been living in a cave.... Well, get to it! In fact, put the whole Sysinternals Suite on your usb stick - To view links or images in this forum your post count must be 20 or greater. You currently have 0 posts.
GoPC - To view links or images in this forum your post count must be 20 or greater. You currently have 0 posts.
I haven’t had to use this that much, but when I have it has come in really handy. Best way to describe it is a remote desktop that you don’t have to maintain. You can install the app on your USB stick and be ready to login at the drop of a hat. It uses port 22 to tunnel the connection automagically.
sbd - To view links or images in this forum your post count must be 20 or greater. You currently have 0 posts.
This awesome gem was the result of taking the Offensive Security 101 course. It’s a netcat clone that adds some nice encryption features to the mix as well as being less detected via VirusScans.
SmartSniff - To view links or images in this forum your post count must be 20 or greater. You currently have 0 posts.
This tool is on the list along with all of the tools by nirsoft, because of it’s portability. I can fire up SmartSniff, look at the packets there, or dump them to a pcap file for inspection via WireShark or Network Miner later.
-=Xploitz=- Master Password Collection - To view links or images in this forum your post count must be 20 or greater. You currently have 0 posts.
This is an awesome collection of password files, extract, combine, sort, uniq and you have about a gig worth of passwords to check against.
Peer Guardian - To view links or images in this forum your post count must be 20 or greater. You currently have 0 posts.
A must have for anyone torrenting files, legal or not. Plus the fact that you can make your own ACLs makes it an instant win. When I am in an airport I usually fire PG2 up with my ‘local’ ACL list and have it block everything but my gateway and DNS.
Proxifier PE - To view links or images in this forum your post count must be 20 or greater. You currently have 0 posts.
One of the only tools that I would recommend spending money on. There really isn’t anything out there like it. You can instantly proxy any application you want, or all applications. Anyone up for some Hak5 LAN Parties, from work? Word of advice, bring headphones and don’t use voice chat.
PS2DIS - To view links or images in this forum your post count must be 20 or greater. You currently have 0 posts.
Originally created for PlayStation 2 hacking, and yes, still hosted on GeoCities. It is a great way to start looking into HEX editing for free.
Recuva - To view links or images in this forum your post count must be 20 or greater. You currently have 0 posts.
I have used many different undelete programs and this is the one that made to to my main USB stick. Consistently found and was able to recover more deleted files than any other out there.
WinShove - To view links or images in this forum your post count must be 20 or greater. You currently have 0 posts.
Sweet little program by Tom Bell that takes away the painstaking annoyance of having to find the title bar to move a window around, by letting you use any part of the window.
Universal Extractor - To view links or images in this forum your post count must be 20 or greater. You currently have 0 posts.
Ever had a file that you couldn’t extract for one reason or another? Well this baby is the cure. It extracts almost everything, including most installers which leads to a lot of my installed apps becoming ‘portable’
BareGrep and BareTail - To view links or images in this forum your post count must be 20 or greater. You currently have 0 posts.
Grep and Tail for windows, free and portable. Need I say more?
SIW - To view links or images in this forum your post count must be 20 or greater. You currently have 0 posts.
If you ever wanted to absolutely everything about the machine you are on, and be able to dump it to a file, the is the tool. But it doesn’t stop there. Check out the Tools menu option for the real hotness
SoundCardPicker - To view links or images in this forum your post count must be 20 or greater. You currently have 0 posts.
This tool hasn’t been updated to even recognize the existence of XP, but it still works on XP. I don’t know about Vista. But I get real tired of going all the way into my sound settings and changing the Default Sound Card, every time I want an application to use a different one. This might be uniquely my problem, but then again, it may help some of you audiophiles out there.
