ohrwurm is a small and simple RTP fuzzer, it has been tested it on a small number of SIP phones, none of them withstood the fuzzing.

Features:

reads SIP messages to get information of the RTP port numbers
reading SIP can be omitted by providing the RTP port numbers, so that any RTP traffic can be fuzzed
RTCP traffic [...]

This is a fairly interesting subject I think as a lot of people still ask me if they are entering the security field if they still need to learn Assembly Language or not?
For those that aren’t what it is, it’s pretty much the lowest level programming languages computers understand without resorting to simply 1’s and [...]

ISR-evilgrade is a modular framework that allow us to take advantage of poor upgrade implementations by injecting fake updates and exploiting the system or software.
How does it work?
It works with modules, each module implements the structure needed to emulate a false update of specific applications/systems. Evilgrade needs the manipulation of the victims [...]

Now this isn’t a new tool, and it’s not quite up to date as the author hasn’t updated it for a while - but it’s still exceedingly cool!
As you know most IP addresses are registered to companies or organizations in blocks, so you can identify which network an edit is coming from as Wikipedia logs [...]

Tmin is a simple utility meant to make it easy to narrow down complex test cases produced through fuzzing. It is closely related to another tool of this type, delta, but meant specifically for unknown, underspecified, or hard to parse data formats (without the need to tokenize and re-serialize data), and for easy integration with [...]

As far as I know this has been happening for some time, sometimes a patch comes out for a vulnerability that many people don’t know about (including the hackers) so they will see what problem the patch fixes (possibly through reverse engineering) then develop an exploit to leverage on the flaw.
It seems things are a [...]

As you will have noticed we’ve posted quite a number of Fuzzing Tools built around different frameworks and in different languages..most for difference targets/purposes too.
Fuzzing has definitely exploded in the last year or so as more people try and understand it and code tools to automate the process. There are tools for Web Services Fuzzing, [...]

This tool is another one on the side of protection, again for web-based applications but this time for .NET applications it’s called .NETIDS (.NET Intrusion detection System). This tool is capable of detecting on attacks on web applications and gives the developer the possibility to react. The project files include filter rules and function stubs [...]

Fusil is a fuzzing framework written in Python and distributed under GNU GPLv2 license. Fusil allows you to easily write “Fuzzing Projects” from a set of functions such as:

Create a process
Compile a C program
Watch a process
Watch syslog and so on

Fusil uses small “agents” which exchange messages to launch actions. e.g. MangleFile injects errors into [...]

The Source Code Analysis Risk Evaluation project is a study to create a security complexity metric that will analyze source code and provide a realistic and factual representation of the potential of that source code to create a problematic binary. This metric will not say that the binary will be exploited nor does it do [...]

With a recent spate of attacks from banner ads (many of which are using flash) this might be a useful tool if you are using flash or more accurately flash applications on your website or portal.
I did mention a Flash decompiler a while back, now we have SWFIntruder (pronounced Swiff Intruder), which is apparently the [...]

Once again Apple iPhone has been unlocked by a determined youngster, the same who was amongst the first to unlock it last year winning himself a rather nice car and a few 8gb iPhones.
It just shows nothing is infallible, all he needed to find was a writable memory address and he was pretty much done [...]

Pcapy is a Python extension module that interfaces with the libpcap packet capture library. Pcapy enables python scripts to capture packets on the network. Pcapy is highly effective when used in conjunction with a packet-handling package such as Impacket, which is a collection of Python classes for constructing and dissecting network packets.
Advantages of Pcapy

Works with [...]

Skavenger? Yes, because scavenger is already used?!?
What is skavenger? Skavenger is a source code auditing tool, firstly though for php, but also used for any kind of source code file; as long as you know what to look for…
Yes I thought is as a replacement tool for egrep/sed under Windows! because not everybody installs cygwin [...]

Seen as though untidy was mentioned again fairly recent, it sparked my memory that I have a fairly old draft regarding untidy the XML Fuzzer.
Fuzzing is definitely becoming an important part of Pen Testing and especially application security - we’ve published about quite a few and I’m sure there are more in development.

Anyway, back [...]

WSBang is designed to be a lightweight, open source fuzzer for web services. It takes as input the URL or file system location of a WSDL for the web service to be tested. Upon completion, a simple HTML view of the test results will be displayed.
Method parameters are fuzzed based on their type [...]

If you remember we mentioned Fuzzled a little while back, the PERL fuzzing framework. Apparently Fuzzled 1.1 should be coming out soon.
Fuzzled is a powerful fuzzing framework. Fuzzled includes helper functions, namespaces, factories which allow a wide variety of fuzzing tools to be developed. Fuzzled comes with several example protocols and drivers for them.

Someone was [...]

The LORCON packet injection library provides a high level interface to transmit IEEE 802.11 packets onto a wireless medium. Written for Linux systems, this architecture simplifies the development of 802.11 packet injection through an abstraction layer, making the development of auditing and assessment tools driver- independent.
Using LORCON, developers can write tools that inject packets onto [...]

Flare processes an SWF and extracts all scripts from it. The output is written to a single text file. Only ActionScript is extracted, no text or images. Flare is freeware. Windows, Mac OS X and Linux versions are available.
The main purpose of decompiler is to help you recover your own lost source code. However, there [...]

After almost a year of intensive development and internal use, Immunity (The guys who bought us CANVAS) has announced the public release of Immunity Debugger v1.0. The main objective for this tool was to combine the best of commandline based and GUI based debuggers.

Immunity Debugger is a powerful new way to write exploits, analyze malware, [...]

A while back a reader e-mailed us about a new site they have called Security Freak, the site is about informatin security education and is mostly using video lectures to illustrate and convey the lessons.
Security-Freak.net is an attempt to lower the entry barrier for starting computer security research. The author has noticed that during his [...]

For this article you should thank Patrick Ogenstad and his comment on my post , because I did not know about PowerShell until he mentioned about it… so a white point for him =)
The parts that will follow are snippets from the Getting Started document that comes with it…
Abstract
Windows PowerShell™ is a new Windows command-line [...]

Selenium is a test tool for web applications. Selenium tests run directly in a browser, just as real users do. And they run in Internet Explorer, Mozilla and Firefox on Windows, Linux, and Macintosh. No other test tool covers such a wide array of platforms.

Browser compatibility testing. Test your application to see if it works [...]

There has been an explosion of fuzzing tools lately, quite a few we have mentioned here on Darknet.
Someone else noticed this, and wondered where is the Perl framework to complete the family? With that in mind he spent the last few months working on something that should fill the gap - Fuzzled.

Fuzzled is a [...]

ISIC is a suite of utilities to exercise the stability of an IP Stack and its component stacks (TCP, UDP, ICMP et. al.) It generates piles of pseudo random packets of the target protocol. The packets be given tendencies to conform to. Ie 50% of the packets generated can have IP Options. 25% of the [...]

This was the idea with which I have won the regional web apps contest… well actually I did a CMS but the security part of it was the most appreciated. Maybe because it was weird, you’ll see…
Classical Login scripts
What exactly do classical login scripts do… they get the password from the database by querying it [...]

Gomor released a LLTD (Link Layer Topology Discovery Protocol) implementation written in Perl (using Net::Frame framework).
You may use this two modules to write fuzzers, or anything.

You can find the modules here:

0×00: Preface
Media, kindly supported by AV “experts”, drawn apocalyptical vison of desctruction caused by stupid M$ Outlook / VisualBasic worm, called “ILOVEYOU”. Absurdal estimations - $10M lost for “defending the disease”, especially when you take a look at increasing with the speed of light value of AV companies market shares, made many people sick. Lame [...]

Hackers are developing new software that will help hide browser attack code from some types of security software.
The software, called VoMM (eVade o’ Matic Module), uses a variety of techniques to mix up known exploit code so as to make it unrecognizable to some types of antivirus software.
Using these techniques, VoMM “can create an endless [...]

Now for once, this is a really neat use of technology, someone using their brains and a suitable tech to solve a problem that is very apparent.
PERL may be frowned upon by some as being old or outdated, but seriously for parsing data, pattern matching and trawling, it’s still excellent and you can get a [...]

Continuing with the series of tools I’ve been posting on source code auditing and application security, here is PMD a Java Source Code Scanner.

PMD scans Java source code and looks for potential problems like:

Possible bugs - empty try/catch/finally/switch statements
Dead code - unused local variables, parameters and private methods
Suboptimal code - wasteful String/StringBuffer usage
Overcomplicated expressions - [...]
