100+ Free Hacking Tools To Become - Powerful Hacker





Wondering which software is used for hacking? What is the best software for hacking password? We have created a list of useful hacking tools and software that will help you do you job much easier.

Ethical hacking and online security involves a lot efforts. Many tools are used to test and keep software secure. The same tools can also be used by hackers for exploitation. Becoming a hacker is not easy it requires many skills. You can learn a few hacking tricks from free hacking tutorials online, some really cool hacking books and books on information security . However, Along with all the skills you need to have best tools to perform hacking, security threat analysis and penetration testing.

A hacking tool is a computer program or software which helps a hacker to hack a computer system or a computer program. The existences of hacking tools have made the lives of the hackers much simpler when compared to the times they did not exist. But it does not mean that if the Hacker is equipped with a good hacking tool, his entire job is smoothly done. The hacker still requires the skills of all the aspects of hacking equally well.




Password Cracker Software


A password cracker software, which is often referred to as a password recovery tool, can be used to crack or recover the password either by removing the original password, after bypassing the data encryption, or by outright discovery of the password. In the process of password cracking, a very common methodology used to crack the user password is to repeatedly make guesses for the probable password and perhaps finally hitting on the correct one. It cannot be denied that whenever we are referring to cyber security, passwords are the most vulnerable security links. On the other hand if the password is too completed, the user might forget it. Password Cracker software are often used by the hackers to crack the password and access a system to manipulate it. Do not unethically use these software for hacking passwords.

In the next section you would be getting familiar with some of the popular Password Cracker tools which are used by hackers for password cracking.

Encryption Tools


Times are changing and spying has become a common phenomenon everywhere. There have been increasing instances where even the governments have been found to be spying on their citizens from time to time. This is one of the prime reasons why the importance of Encryption has increased manifold. Encryption tools are very important because they keep the data safe by encrypting it so that even if someone accesses the data, they can’t get through the data unless they know how to decrypt the data. These tools use algorithm schemes to encode the data to prevent unauthorized access to the encrypted data.

Some of the popular Encryption Tools will be discussed in this article:-

Backup and Recovery - ReDo




First and foremost, Redo Backup & Recovery is free. Based on xPUD and partclone, this open source tool not only works with Windows but also supports Linux. Then, contrary to what most popular backup and recovery programs do, Redo provides a bare-metal restore, meaning that even if your hard drive melts, you can have an up and running system (on a new hard drive, of course) in no longer than 10 minutes.

Redo is a disaster recovery tool, hence it works outside of any OS environment. The downloaded package comes as an ISO file which you can easily burn to a CD-ROM or USB drive, and Redo’s GUI will boot in less than a minute. There are no installation requirements, and it can automatically find local network shares as well. You also get a healthy choice between which language to use




The team behind Redo Backup can’t argue that their tool is the most comprehensive on the market, but they can argue that it’s the easiest to use. Boot up with a Live CD or Live USB copy of Redo Backup and you’re only a few clicks away from backing up your system—or restoring it if your hard drive went to the great data center in the sky.

You can easily copy your files to a local drive but where Redo Backup really shines is support for network shares. When you run Redo Backup it seeks out available shared folders on your network so you can use them for remote backup of individual files or an entire disk image. Redo Backup also includes a web browser so you can access the web to download drivers and troubleshoot your computer problems. It’s a great backup and disk recovery solution, especially if you’d like to skip learning arcane commands or keeping a bulky manual on hand

Easy rescue system with GUI tools for full system backup, bare metal recovery, partition editing, recovering deleted files, data protection, web browsing, and more. Uses partclone (like Clonezilla) with a UI like Ghost or Acronis. Runs from CD/USB.

All your documents and settings will be restored to the exact same state they were in when the last snapshot was taken. Redo Backup and Recovery is a live CD, so it does not matter if you use Windows or Linux. You can use the same tool to backup and restore every machine. And because it is open source released under the GPL, it is completely free for personal and commercial use.

Redo Backup has the most features coupled with the simplest, most user-friendly interface:

ºEasy graphical user interface boots from CD in less than a minute
