This commit focses on the Penetration Testing Resources section and
provides better descriptions for most of the items therein. It also adds
the OSSTMM version 3 pentest methodology manual, which seems fitting as
it is both listed by OWASP and fits nicely with the PTES and PTF items
already listed.
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.)
This commit provides more detail and context for the vulnerability
scanners section. It groups Web Scanners into its own subheading, and
moves scanning tools from the Web Exploitation section into this section
as these tools do not actually focus on *exploiting* websites.
Additionally, Static Analyzers are grouped, two new static analyzers
(cppcheck and FindBugs) have been added, and commercial tools are
appropriately described as such.
This commit focuses on terminological consistency, including:
* Use consistent capitalization for abbreviations (OSInt -> OSINT).
* Consistently expand ambiguous phrases (OS -> operating system).
* Settle on standard names (Wi-Fi -> WiFi, etc.) where a mix was used.
* Expand acronyms in item titles when doing so shortens the description.
* Replace descriptions that merely expanded acronyms with actual text.
* Remove duplicate items that have more than one URL (Commix project).
* Do not Title Case description text when description is simply prose.
This commit tidies some minor issues with pull request #141, namely:
* fix style guide compliance from accidental reversion during merge.
* add a period to the last sentence of the introduction paragraph.
* make the table of contents's content match the headings in the doc.
* consistently spell open source without a dashed word ("open-source").
