- How to Remove old and un-used Kernel from System and Grub Menu - Ubuntu Linux

The kernel is a piece of software that, roughly speaking, provides a layer between the hardware and the application programs running on a computer. In a strict, computer-science sense, the term 'Linux' refers only to the kernel - the software that Linus Torvalds wrote in the early 90s.

All the other pieces you find in a Linux distribution - the Bash shell, the KDE window manager, web browsers, the X server, Tux Racer and everything else - are just applications that happen to run on Linux and are emphatically not part of the operating system itself.

- Install Flash 8 or Flash CS3 on Ubuntu Linux - Wine

Wine is an Open Source implementation of the Windows API on top of X and Unix. Wine provides both a development toolkit for porting Windows sources to Unix and a program loader, allowing many unmodified Windows binaries to run on x86-based Unixes.

Install the latest version of wine:
Ubuntu and Ubuntu derivatives (such as Kubuntu) obtain software from packages which are stored in repositories. Ubuntu's default repository includes Wine, however if you want to stay up to date with the latest Wine package you can use WineHQ's by following these instructions, open up the terminal (Applications > Accessories > Terminal) and type following command to install latest version of wine

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-wine/ppa
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install wine

- Transparent Caching ftp proxy server - frox

Frox is a transparent FTP proxy that runs under Linux and *BSD. It should also work on other UNIX OSes that use ipfilter.

Frox Features:
* active - passive mode conversion for data connections.
* It supports caching of FTP downloads, either through a local cache, or by redirecting connections through another proxy such as squid.
* Downloads may be transparently scanned for viruses (through an external scanner).
* Optional non-transparent proxy support by logging in with user@host:port.
* Options to bind to a specific interface, chroot, and drop priveleges for security.
* Written with security in mind, default setup runs as a non-root user in a chroot jail.

- Penetration Testing data management and reporting tool - MagicTree

MagicTree is a penetration tester productivity tool. It is designed to allow easy and straightforward data consolidation, querying, external command execution and report generation. In case you wonder, "Tree" is because all the data is stored in a tree structure, and "Magic" is because it is designed to magically do the most cumbersome and boring part of penetration testing - data management and reporting.

MagicTree stores data in a tree structure. This is a natural way for representing the information that is gathered during a network test: a host has ports, which have services, applications, vulnerabilities, etc. The tree like structure is also flexible in terms of adding new information without disturbing the existing data structure: if you at some point decide that you need the MAC address of the host, you just add another child node to the host node.

- Tool to Detect SQL Injection - SQLInject-Finder

SQL injection is yet another common vulnerability that is the result of lax input validation. Unlike cross-site scripting vulnerabilities that are ultimately directed at your site’s visitors, SQL injection is an attack on the site itself—in particular its database. The goal of SQL injection is to insert arbitrary data, most often a database query, into a string that’s eventually executed by the database. The insidious query may attempt any number of actions, from retrieving alternate data, to modifying or removing information from the database.

- How to read the content from the RAM (Random Access Memory)

RAM Stands for "Random Access Memory,". RAM is made up of small memory chips that form a memory module. These modules are installed in the RAM slots on the motherboard of your computer.

RAM (random access memory) is the place in a computer where the operating system, application programs, and data in current use are kept so that they can be quickly reached by the computer's processor. RAM is much faster to read from and write to than the other kinds of storage in a computer, the hard disk, floppy disk, and CD-ROM. However, the data in RAM stays there only as long as your computer is running. When you turn the computer off, RAM loses its data. When you turn your computer on again, your operating system and other files are once again loaded into RAM, usually from your hard disk.

- Test your hacking skills - WackoPicko

WackoPicko is a website that contains known vulnerabilities. It was first used for the paper Why Johnny Can't Pentest: An Analysis of back-box Web Vulnerability Scanners found:
http://cs.ucsb.edu/~adoupe/static/black-box-scanners-dimva2010.pdf

WackoPicko Install Instructions:
Import the WackoPicko database into MySQL using a command like the following:

mysql -u <user> -p < current.sql

This will create the MySQL user wackopicko with the password webvuln!@# as well as create the wackopicko table. The wackopicko table contains all of the data that was present while testing the scanners in Why Johnny Can't Pentest.

- Checks existence of open proxy - proxycheck

Open proxies of various kinds are used nowadays for various evil things like sending mass spam, hacking into your machine, making denial of service attacks (DoS) and the like. Every such machine should be either secured properly or turned off permanently, but that's not an option, since in most cases there is either no administrator of such machines exists at all, or he has no clue about what's on that machine, or it's irrelevant for him. So the only way to stop massive abuse made via such machines is to block them. Also, network administrators (of an ISP for example) are able to warn their clients whenever they are running an insecure proxy services - periodical scanning of client's network may also be a good idea.

This command-line tool, proxycheck, may be used for such purpose. Currently, it understands 3 types of proxy servers: HTTP proxies that allows you to CONNECT to any host:port, SOCKS v4 and v5 proxies, wingate "telnet" proxy servers of various kinds (incl. e.g. CCProxy variants and others), and FTP proxies that are able to create transparent connections.
