Stars - the number of stars that a project has on GitHub. Growth - month over month growth in stars.
Activity is a relative number indicating how actively a project is being developed. Recent commits have higher weight than older ones.
For example, an activity of 9.0 indicates that a project is amongst the top 10% of the most actively developed projects that we are tracking.

Hacking from anywhere
1-) Learn Hacking on a debian based distro like Kali Linux - I personally started with tools like nikto, camhacker... and then moved to more complex frameworks like metasploit.

CMV: The Second Amendment "right to bear arms" and the discussions surrounding gun control also apply to hacking tools.
I once had to give a presentation about Metasploit, and whether it was ethically correct for the creator to make it free and open-source, available to everyone. And in researching this I realized that there were a lot of parallels between the arguments for or against hacking tools being readily available and the arguments for or against gun control. I'll just list a few quickly:
-
Hackers Tools: Must-Have Tools for Every Ethical Hacker
Metasploit Framework (mentioned earlier)
-
Penetration Testing
This phase is where the pen testers practically prove that there exist potential vulnerabilities in the target system. The pen testers do the hacking using an array of technical approaches and social engineering methods to exploit the vulnerabilities. The ethical hackers commonly use Metasploit framework to automatically execute exploitation against the target systems. Moreover, they may install malwares such as rootkit to persistently maintain their foothold and further compromise the target system.

Attacking Local Account Passwords
Let’s walk through a typical attack against the Administrator account using a popular tool, CrackMapExec.
- use of cme modules
-
Active Directory in CTFs
Attackers like to use crackmapexec to exploit Windows networks and machines. It can achieve various goals like enumerating users, cracking SMB shares, and injecting shellcode into memory.

Implied Trust Relationship Exploitation - Redbot Security
After gaining a local administrator NTLM password hash using SMB relay attacks, Redbot Security used the “CrackMapExec” tool to pass the local administrator hash to all systems and found multiple systems using the same password:
-
TOOL: ntlmrelayx2proxychains
ntlmrelayx2proxychains aims to connect the tool of the SecureAuthCorps' impacket suite, ntlmrelayx.py (hereafter referred to as "ntlmrelayx"), along with @byt3bl33d3r's tool, CrackMapExec (hereafter referred to as "CME"), over proxychains, developped by haad.
- Will attack such as LLMNR, NBT-NS and MDNS poisoner cause any issue to internal network?
-
Awesome Penetration Testing
CrackMapExec - Swiss army knife for pentesting networks.
-
Mapping AD
Regarding network shares, I personally tend to use crackmapexec with a list of systems. It won't list the ACLs but it is very good at finding out what a standard domain user could access (if this is what you are after) https://github.com/byt3bl33d3r/CrackMapExec
What are some alternatives?
BeEF - The Browser Exploitation Framework Project
proxychains - proxychains - a tool that forces any TCP connection made by any given application to follow through proxy like TOR or any other SOCKS4, SOCKS5 or HTTP(S) proxy. Supported auth-types: "user/pass" for SOCKS4/5, "basic" for HTTP.
