HackerOS Released
by The Uni-Hacker on Jun.24, 2008, under Security
Today I released my first version of HackerOS, a Linux operating system providing a range of network security tools. Using a Gentoo live kernel, the operating system boots off a CDROM so that you can easily boot off almost any computer. I’ve installed some of my favorite security tools such as nbtscan and nikto.
Sometimes I want to be able to check out a network or work on a friends network and I never have the tools to do it. Now I can leave a CDROM in my car that has all the tools I need for debugging and scanning networks.
Initial release statement below:
HackerOS is a Linux distribution aimed at providing a bootable CD or USB stick which comes pre-loaded with tools such as nmap, sniffit, nbtscan and even nikto. Currently the system uses a gentoo based live kernel to provide support for the most hardware. The system uses DHCP which can be changed after the system boots and the default video mode is set for 791.
The goal is to provide a bootable CD that will support most hardware and also provide the latest open source security tools available. Simply burn the ISO file and boot up.
Available Commands
nmap - port & network scanner
sniffit - network sniffer - watch network traffic
smbclient - connect to a windows share and browse/download file
nbtscan - Scan for nebios information, scanns IP range, usernames, computer
names and MAC addresses.
smb-nat - Scans for shares on an IP network and also can attempt to break the shares from
a username and password list.
nast - another sniffer, this one has some good options.
netcat - read and write across TCP & UDP network connections.
webwatch - watch web traffic across network.
nikto - Scans web servers for possible exploits
. This is very powerful and we recommend being very careful who you scan with this.
