SPARTA is not really its own tool, it's more like a meta-tool. There are
many "network infrastructure penetration testing tools" on this list,
but what does SPARTA actually do that these other tools don't? The
answer is primarily that SPARTA is a GUI wrapper around arbitrary
command lines with some additional logic to identify results from
well-known tools such as `nmap` and trigger actions based on those
results in other tools. Let's make that clear in the item's description.
This commit conforms the Anonymity Tools section to the Awesome List
style guide by adding periods and such, plus adds the WEBKAY project to
help defend against identity and privay leaks from mis-configured Web
browsers. It also phrases the Tor project item description more clearly.
This commit updates numerous tools all previously categorized as "SSL"
tools. It updates their descriptions to more accurately describe current
versions by remarking on TLS capabilities, and it does the same with the
section heading. Further, Web-centric exploitation tools related to
SSL/TLS implementations have been moved to the Web Exploitation section,
where they arguably more properly belong, as SSL/TLS implementations may
include application-layer services beyond simply HTTP and "Web" traffic.
This commit removes the "Basic Penetration Testing Tools" section and
moves numerous items listed therein into more appropriate places, based
on existing categories. For instance, BeEF is moved to the Web
Exploitation section, since it is more accurate to describe it as a Web
exploitation tool than a "Basic" tool. The former category is
descriptive while the latter is clearly nondescript.
A new section, "Multi-paradigm Frameworks," has been added for items
that were listed under the removed "Basic" section but that do not
cleanly fit into an existing category. Namely, these are Metasploit,
ExploitPack, and Faraday, which are exceptions simply because they are
so versatile. (Hence the choice of the new section, "Multi-paradigm.")
Additionally, the well-known Armitage GUI for Metasploit was added.
Moreover, Bella was moved to a new section, "macOS Utilities," which
provides parity with the existing Windows Utilities and GNU/Linux
Utilities section. Bella is a post-exploitation agent similar to
redsnarf, which likewise has been moved out of the "Basic" section and
into its more appropriate Windows Utilities section.
Other minor touch ups to various item descriptions were also made.
* Add CVE List to Vulnerability Databases section, since it was missing.
* Style guide compliance pass focused on Vulnerability Databases section.
* Whitelist the Inj3ct0r URLs.
The `0day.today` website sits behind an extremely aggressive Cloudflare
anti-bot checker, which causes `awesome-bot` to trigger an HTTP 503
response. This fails the build but is actually normal behavior.
Similarly, the Onion service is inaccessible except over Tor and our
Travis CI configuration does not (yet?) support checking Onion service
links. (Although, perhaps it should be updated to do so in a future PR.)
