Top 10 (free) Security Tools for Windows Mobile |
liNkBus |
Based on my
wholly unscientific testing, and opinion, here is my pick for the top
10 free Windows Mobile tools for the security professional:
-
Cain
- a subset of the handy functionality available in Cain & Abel,
including cracking support for LM, NTLM, MD2, MD4, MD5, SHA1,
RIPEMD160, CiscoPIX and MySQL hashes, decoders for Base64, Cisco Type 7
passwords, Cisco VPN Client passwords, and VNC passwords, and support
for dumping ActiveSync, Pocket IE, Pocket Outlook and Pocket MSN
passwords from the device. Very handy set of tools, although the
practicality of cracking hashes on a Pocket PC is dubious.
-
btCrawler - a
simple and easy to use Bluetooth scanner, bluejacking and bluesnarfing
tool for devices with Microsoft Bluetooth stacks. Note that most of the
exploit functionality is disabled by default until you add some custom
registry entries.
-
vxUtil Personal - a
suite of network utilities , including DNS lookups, finger, IP subnet
calculator, ping and ping sweep, a port scanner, and more.
-
WiFiFoFum
- a wardriving and wireless scanning tool. Supports all wireless cards,
wired and Bluetooth GPS units, and multiple export formats including
text, Wi-scan, Tom Tom POI, MemoryMap and Netstumbler (ns1) formats.
-
Spybot - Search & Destroy - the Pocket PC version of the popular Windows spyware scanner.
-
Netcat for CE
- the "network swiss army knife", for Pocket PC. Not everything works
quite as it does on Windows or Linux, but the main functionality is
there.
-
NBTStat CE - find those NetBIOS shares quickly using the Pocket PC version of NBTStat.
-
VNC Viewer - complete
the trio of GUI clients by downloading this handy little VNC viewer.
Supports both VNC 3.x and 4.x servers, full screen mode, and screen
rotation.
-
OpenVPN - VPN into your home network (or other networks running OpenVPN) from your Pocket PC.
-
Citrix ICA client
- Supporting most of the same functionality as the Windows client, this
allows you to login to those Citrix machines you need to access.
Honourable mentions also need to go to:
- PocketConsole
which allows you to unlock the power of the console, since Microsoft
doesn't ship a console application with Windows Mobile. This also
allows you to run text applications ported to PocketPC such as Pocket GnuPG and SNMPUtils. Unfortunately for me, it doesn't seem to work on my phone.
-
Pocket PuTTY - Pocket PC port of the PuTTY ssh and telnet client.
-
Skype - not a security tool per se, but since a lot of security professionals use Skype, its a must have on the Pocket PC.
- ppcPodcast - not strictly security, but allows you to download those security podcasts directly to your phone.
