Using Quasar Windows Remote Administration Tool
1. Download Quasar
Usually most users want the stable version of Quasar, which can be found on the releases page. Bleeding edge versions with latest features, improvements and bug-fixes can are located at the CI server. These builds should be used with caution as they may contain critical bugs.
2. Building a Client
After starting Quasar.exe for the first time, you will need to build a client for deployment. Use the button Builder at the top of the Quasar application to start the client configuration. After configuring the client for your needs, click the Build button and choose a location to save the built client.
3. Connecting the Server and Client
The standalone client from the previous step has to be deployed on the computers of the users. Simply executing the client on the computers is enough. The client will take care of the installation, startup, etc… Once installed the client will try to connect to your Server on the specified host-name and port. It might be necessary to set up port forwarding to your local Server if it is behind a firewall in your network. You can use automatic forwarding with UPnP in the settings if it’s being supported by your firewall/router.

Pingcastle – Active Directory Security Assessment Tool
PingCastle is a Active Directory Security Assessment Tool designed to quickly assess the Active Directory security level with a methodology based on a risk assessment and maturity framework. It does not aim at a perfect evaluation but rather as an efficiency compromise.
The risk level regarding Active Directory security has changed. Several vulnerabilities have been made popular with tools like mimikatz or sites likes adsecurity.org.
CMMI is a well known methodology from the Carnegie Mellon university to evaluate the maturity with a grade from 1 to 5, PingCastle has adapated CMMI to Active Directory security.
The aim of the tool is to get you to 80% AD security in 20% of the time it would traditionally take.
PingCastle Active Directory Security Assessment Tool Features
Health Check
This is the default report produced by PingCastle. It quickly collects the most important information of the Active Directory and establish an overview. Based on a model and rules, it evaluates the score of the sub-processes of the Active Directory. Then it reports the risks.
Active Directory map
This report produce a map of all Active Directory that PingCastle knows about. This map is built based on existing health check reports or when none is available, via a special mode collecting the required information as fast as possible.
Deploy and collect reports
Monitoring domains from a bastion can be easy. But for those without network connection it might be difficult. There are many deployment strategies available with PingCastle.
Consolidation
When multiple reports of PingCastle have been collected, they can be regrouped in a single report. This facilitates the benchmark of all domains.
Scanner
Checking workstations for local admin privileges, open shares, startup time is usually complex and requires an admin. PingCastle’s scanner bypass these classic limits.

Second Order – Subdomain Takeover Scanner Tool
Second Order Subdomain Takeover Scanner Tool scans web applications for second-order subdomain takeover by crawling the application and collecting URLs (and other data) that match specific rules or respond in a specific way.
Using Second Order Subdomain Takeover Scanner Tool
Command line options:
|
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 |
-base string Base link to start scraping from (default "http://127.0.0.1") -config string Configuration file (default "config.json") -debug Print visited links in real-time to stdout -output string Directory to save results in (default "output") |
Example:
|
1 |
go run second-order.go -base https://example.com -config config.json -output example.com -concurrency 10 |
Config File for Second Order Subdomain Takeover Scanner Tool
Example configuration file included (config.json)
- Headers: A map of headers that will be sent with every request.
- Depth: Crawling depth.
- LogCrawledURLs: If this is set to true, Second Order will log the URL of every crawled page.
- LogQueries: A map of tag-attribute queries that will be searched for in crawled pages. For example, “a”: “href” means log every href attribute of every a tag.
- LogURLRegex: A list of regular expressions that will be matched against the URLs that are extracted using the queries in LogQueries; if left empty, all URLs will be logged.
- LogNon200Queries: A map of tag-attribute queries that will be searched for in crawled pages, and logged only if they don’t return a 200 status code.
- ExcludedURLRegex: A list of regular expressions whose matching URLs will not be accessed by the tool.
- ExcludedStatusCodes: A list of status codes; if any page responds with one of these, it will be excluded from the results of LogNon200Queries; if left empty, all non-200 pages’ URLs will be logged.
- LogInlineJS: If this is set to true, Second Order will log the contents of every script tag that doesn’t have a src attribute.

Binwalk – Firmware Security Analysis & Extraction Tool
Binwalk is a fast and easy to use Python-based firmware security analysis tool that allows for firmware analysis, reverse engineering, and extraction of firmware images.
Features of Binwalk Firmware Security Analysis & Extraction Tool
- Scanning Firmware – Binwalk can scan a firmware image for many different embedded file types and file systems
- File Extraction – You can tell binwalk to extract any files that it finds in the firmware image
- Entropy Analysis – Can help identify interesting sections of data inside a firmware image
- String Search – Allows you to search the specified file(s) for a custom string
There are also various filters such as by CPU architecture, number of instructions, include filter, exclude filter,
Installation of Binwalk Firmware Security Analysis & Extraction Tool
Download binwalk:
|
1 2 |
$ wget https://github.com/ReFirmLabs/binwalk/archive/master.zip $ unzip master.zip |
Install binwalk; if you have a previously installed version of binwalk, it is suggested that you uninstall it before upgrading:
|
1 |
$ (cd binwalk-master && sudo python setup.py uninstall && sudo python setup.py install) |
Debian users can install all optional and suggested extractors/dependencies using the included deps.sh script (recommended):
|
1 |
$ sudo ./binwalk-master/deps.sh |
If you are not a Debian user, or if you wish to install only selected dependencies, see the INSTALL documentation for more details.
Usage of Binwalk Firmware Security Analysis & Extraction Tool
File Extraction
You can tell binwalk to extract any files that it finds in the firmware image with the -e option:
|
1 |
$ binwalk -e firmware.bin |
Binwalk will even recursively scan files as it extracts them if you also specify the -M option:
|
1 |
$ binwalk -Me firmware.bin |
And if the -r option is specified, any file signatures that couldn’t be extracted – or that resulted in 0-size files – will be automatically deleted:
|
1 |
$ binwalk -Mre firmware.bin |
To extract one specific signature type, specify one or more -D type options:
|
1 |
$ binwalk -D 'png image:png' firmware.bin |
Entropy Analysis
What happens if binwalk doesn’t report any signatures? Or, how do you know binwalk didn’t miss anything interesting?
Entropy analysis can help identify interesting sections of data inside a firmware image:
|
1 |
$ binwalk -E firmware.bin |
