Turning Mozilla Firefox Into A Hacking Machine {And Secure In Some Way}!! ;D #Mozilla #Firefox #Hacking #Infosec #Hackers




Internet is an amazing virtual world where you can "virtually" do anything: gambling, playing, watching movies, shopping, working, “VoIPying”, spying on other people and for sure auditing remote systems.
The security testers’ community has a large panel of security tools, methodologies and much more to perform their pentests and audit assessments. But what happens if you find yourself weaponless.
No more Top 100 security tools, no more LiveCDs and no more exploitation  frameworks. A security auditor without toolbox is like a cop without gun.
Nevertheless, there is maybe a way to rescue yourself from this nightmare situation.
The magical solution could be Firefox and its extensions developed by hackers and coders. If you don’t want to do the work  below then there is a open source browser based security framework called mantra which comes with preconfigured with all the above extensions + many more. You can download it from H3R3 . Yeah!!

Here is a list of useful security auditing extensions:
