7 useful hacker tools for Microsoft Windows professionals

/in


The internet offers a rich selection of tools for criminal purposes: password crackers and vulnerability scanners are just two examples. At the same time, one also finds web applications that are suitable for violating privacy — for example, reverse searches for the owners of telephone numbers or a person in a photo.

However, these tools can not only be used for criminal purposes or to find out the identity of other people, you can also use them for your own protection or for emergencies. Password crackers, for example, are often the last resort if you have forgotten an important password. Vulnerability scanners can also be used on your own network to detect and then block possible entry points for hackers.

Caution: Cracking passwords or even spying on networks is only permitted by law if it involves your own passwords and your own network. If you try to decrypt someone else’s password or spy on another network, you are liable to prosecution.

Replace Windows password

Der Offline NT Password & Registry Editor kann auch die Passwörter von Windows 10 und 11 überschreiben. Eine ausführliche Anleitung im Web erklärt Ihnen, wie das geht.

The Offline NT Password & Registry Editor can also overwrite Windows 10 and 11 passwords. A detailed guide on the web explains how to do this.

IDG

The first password you have to enter after turning on your computer is usually the Windows password. If you no longer know this password, your data is not lost — you can boot the computer with a boot stick or a boot CD, for example, and copy important documents to another medium — but you usually have no choice but to reinstall the operating system.

The free tool Offline NT Password & Registry Editor offers a way out. It does not even try to crack the password, but simply overwrites it with a character combination of your choice.

The tool is already quite old, the last version dates from 2014, but it still runs under Windows 10 and 11, albeit with some restrictions. For example, the computer must support legacy mode when booting; the program does not work with a UEFI boot. In addition, the hard disk or SSD must not be encrypted with Bitlocker or any other software.

Also note that Windows’ built-in encryption, the EFS file system, is tied to the password. If you change it with the Offline NT Password & Registry Editor and had…

Nexusflow raises $10.6 to build a conversational interface for security tools

/in


Nexusflow, a startup using generative AI to help companies make sense of cybersecurity data, today announced that it raised $10.6 million in a seed round led by Point72 Ventures with participation from Fusion Fund and several AI luminaries in Silicon Valley.

The tranche, which values Nexusflow at $53 million post-money, will be put toward hiring, R&D and ongoing product development, founder and CEO Jiantao Jiao said.

“We’re helping customers pioneer the adoption of generative AI,” Jiao said. “Nexusflow delivers substantial benefits to security teams by enhancing their capabilities in various ways.”

Jiao, a computer science professor at UC Berkeley, teamed up with Jian Zhang (formerly director of machine learning software at SambaNova) and Kurt Keutzer (previously CTO at Synopsys) to found Nexusflow after arriving at the realization that generative AI was poised to disrupt cybersecurity.

Evidently, he was onto something — others have come to the same conclusion. This year, both Google and Microsoft have rolled out generative AI enhancements to their security product lines in an effort to make it easier to find information from a massive amount of security data simply by asking questions in plain language.

“In today’s digital era, security professionals grapple with an unending stream of evolving threats,” Jiao told TechCrunch in an email interview. “They wrestle with countless data sources and tools, their work feeling like an eternal grind. Security operations centers perennially operate with too few hands to manage the ever-increasing workload. The intersection of generative AI and cybersecurity is heating up but remains less crowded than fields like sales or legal.”

Nexusflow, in Jiao’s words, attempts to synthesize data from various security knowledge sources and tap into existing security tools via their APIs. Leveraging open source large language models that operate behind a customer’s firewall or in the cloud, Nexusflow lets users control security software and get metrics and insights using natural language commands.

“The security team can instruct Nexusflow in plain English to seamlessly operate evolving security tools, avoiding steep learning curves and misconfigurations,” Jiao…

10 antimalware tools for ransomware protection and removal

/in


The best course for enterprises to prevent the risk of malware and ransomware is security awareness training. The next best course is to use tools that can detect, isolate and remove ransomware threats.

Ransomware protection, prevention and removal tools come in many forms. These features are included in most antimalware tools, endpoint detection and response (EDR) products and other security tool suites.

Let’s examine how antimalware tools work and look at 10 leading products that integrate well with enterprise IT infrastructures.

What are antimalware tools?

Antimalware is software engineered to scan devices and monitor network traffic for malware signatures and traffic anomalies. It is deployed on endpoints, networks and other systems.

Antimalware differs from traditional antivirus software that relies on traditional signature-based methods. Antimalware and antivirus software are sometimes deployed as a single application. In some cases, data is transferred to an antimalware sandbox for further analysis before sending the traffic to its destination.

Generally speaking, antimalware tools focus on the following coverage areas — some more so than others — to identify and remediate attacks that might occur:

  • Email servers.
  • Web traffic.
  • Endpoint scanning.
  • Network traffic signature and anomaly detection.

Such tools track malware from the entry point, across the network and to endpoints where infections could have occurred. When an event occurs, security teams can streamline their investigations and response. Compromised devices can be quarantined quickly from the rest of the corporate network to reduce further exposure.

Top 10 antimalware tools

Note that ransomware is a type of malware that can be detected by antimalware tools. Vendors might label specific tools as “anti-ransomware” or “ransomware protection, detection or removal,” but the industry standard is to group them as “antimalware.”

The following list is a sample of the types of enterprise-grade antimalware available today that include ransomware protection. While there are plenty of other options, these tools are widely deployed by businesses small and large. Tools are listed in alphabetical order.
