IPython Shell for IDAPython updated

After a long time I went back to the IPython Shell.

I received some comments telling that it had some issues with IDA Pro 5.5 so I started to play with it.

The issue is not related to the IDA Pro version but with IDAPython version installed.

Starting from IDAPython 1.2 there's a "script timeout" value. This is why there's a little msg box telling you to wait because a script is running.

Since the IPython shell script doesn't end, as soon as you type something in the console, IDA blocks, and you can't move the window or anything.

This timeout value can be increased to avoid blocking IDA, but if you keep the shell opened for a long time, the timeout value may be reached.

Since IDAPython 1.4, you can disable this timeout value and work with the shell without problems. [1]

Download all "The Social Engineer Podcast" episodes with one little script

I've used this script to download all the episodes from the amazing "Social Engineer Podcast" and thought of sharing it with you guys.

Running a full pentesting environment in your Android phone

Hi guys, we've been working on a pet project that we want to share. This is the first release (hopefully the first of many if you find it useful) of a gentoo powered system image for android based phones (and maybe other arm compatible devices) with a selection of tools that a pentester might find useful to have in his/her pocket.

Some of the tools that it includes are:

  • Metasploit 2.7 and 3.4
  • Nmap
  • w3af
  • Amap
  • Openssh
  • Tightvnc
  • Scapy
  • Python, Perl and Ruby interpreters
  • and many more.

Because it's based on gentoo is pretty easy to customize and add or remove packages from it (soon we will post a tutorial on that).

SQL Server 2005 & 2008 Audit

If you need to do some SQL Server 2005 or 2008 audit activities on DDL and DML operations this tool may help you.

Download: Effective Permissions Tool

In order to use the tool you need sysadmin privileges and xp_cmdshell enabled on the database server.
Before running it, create the following stored procedures on master db:

  • Data Collect: this script will configure trace files with the event classes to audit.
  • Data Reduce: this script reads the information stored in the trace files.

If you are interested on some more details you can see our slides (only spanish, sorry...)
