Popular hacking distro BlackArch Linux update released 2017


Popular Hacking Distro BlackArch Linux 2017-03-01 Released With Nearly 1700 Ethical Hacking Tools And Kernel 4.9.11

Being into cyber security, the one Linux distro developments that we follow regularly is BlackArch Linux. After Kali Linux, BlackArch Linux is undoubtedly one of the best and the most popular distros for ethical hackers, security researchers and penetration testers. The BlackArch Linux devs have now released the new version ISO image of the Arch Linux-based operating system designed especially for hackers and security professionals.
The newly released BlackArch Linux 2017-03-01 update comes with over 1700 ethical hacking and pentesting tools pre-installed. It is based on the Arch Linux 2017-03-01 install medium released earlier, which has dropped support for 32-bit installations.
The BlackArch devs have released the new BlackArch Linux 2017-03-01 version as separate Live ISOs for both 32-bit and 64-bit computers, as well as a 64-bit OVA image that you can use in either the VirtualBox, QEMU, or VMware virtualization software
Among the 1700 hacking tools, the newly released update comes with 50 new penetration testing and hacking tools. In the new release, all system packages have been updated, along with some of the in-house built BlackArch tools and the menu entries for the Openbox, Fluxbox, and Awesome window managers.

Update option for existing BlackArch Linux users

Existing users need only to make sure that they have all the latest updates installed by running the “sudo pacman -Syu” command in a terminal emulator or the virtual console. Once the new kernel version is updated, you’ll need to reboot your PC/laptops.
First time BlackArch Linux users can visit their official website to download the latest version of the distro..

NASA has released massive catalog of free and open source software 2017

NASA has released massive catalog of free and open source software 2017


NASA Releases Tons Of Free, Open Source Software, Here’s How To Get Them

You already know NASA, the space exploration arm of United States. From time to time NASA engineers write their own program for air and spacecraft design, business optimization, systems interaction and biomedical applications. Most of these programs are open source and have been made available to general public for free use.

NASA rolled out the third installment of the software.  The newly released NASA 2017-2018 software catalog comes both in hard copy and offline format. The first pilot edition of NASA’s software catalog was made available to the public in April 2014.
The software is being made available through the NASA Technology Transfer Program keeping in line with its motto fo “Bringing NASA Technology Down to Earth”. The available codes are listed in the NASA Software Catalog, now in its third edition, published this week. While much of the software is entirely in the public domain, some programs may only be released for use on a government project or are subject to export controls allowing use only by U.S. persons.

NASA says that the freely released tools will be useful for top professionals, entrepreneurs, small businesses, industry, and academia and have a potential to create jobs, save lives, and earn revenue.

The NASA catalog contains some award winning software likeTraffic Aware Planner, is an in-cockpit tool to assist pilots in requesting the most efficient route of flight taking into consideration the position and track of nearby aircraft. The second, Pegasus 5, is a computational fluid dynamics solver, which allows users to calculate the pressure and temperature of fluid flows to model system performance, such as lift and drag from an airframe in flight. Although likely not as popular as astronaut ice cream, the most requested piece of NASA software in 2016 was Schedule Test and Assessment Tool, a plug-in to Microsoft Project to automate reporting of project performance data.

The NASA catalog also contains some super software which can help ordinary computer users. Here are some of the popular tools that have been open sourced by NASA:

Worldview Satellite Imagery Browsing and Downloading Tool
Global Planetary Reference Models
CARES/LIFE
NASA Root Cause Analysis Tool
PixelLearn
Cart3D
JPL’s Stereo Vision Software Suite
Video Image Stabilization and Registration
CARES/LIFE
What’s Up at Wallops (Android and iOS)
Lossless Hyper-/Multi-Spectral Data Compression Software
Here is how you can download the free software tools released by NASA:

NASA has nicely indexed the software it is releasing to the public. Here’s the complete list of tools released by NASA.


To download any of this software, feel free to visit this link. You may find the site little unresponsive or unavailable due the rush to download the free offering from NASA, but the wait is certainly worth it.

Tor Browser 3 6 4 and 4 0 alpha 1 are released

Tor Browser 3 6 4 and 4 0 alpha 1 are released




The Tor software protects you by bouncing your communications around a distributed network of relays run by volunteers all around the world: it prevents somebody watching your Internet connection from learning what sites you visit, it prevents the sites you visit from learning your physical location, and it lets you access sites which are blocked.
The Tor Browser lets you use Tor on Windows, Mac OS X, or Linux without needing to install any software. It can run off a USB flash drive, comes with a pre-configured web browser to protect your anonymity, and is self-contained.

Here is the complete changelog for 3.6.4:
  • Tor Browser 3.6.4 -- All Platforms
    • Update Tor to 0.2.4.23
    • Update Tor launcher to 0.2.5.6
    • Update OpenSSL to 1.0.1i
    • Backported Tor Patches:
      • Bug 11654: Properly apply the fix for malformed bug11156 log message
      • Bug 11200: Fix a hang during bootstrap introduced in the initial
        bug11200 patch.
    • Update NoScript to 2.6.8.36
      • Bug 9516: Send Tor Launcher log messages to Browser Console
    • Update Torbutton to 1.6.11.1
      • Bug 11472: Adjust about:tor font and logo positioning to avoid overlap
      • Bug 12680: Fix Torbutton about url.

In addition, we are also releasing the first alpha of the 4.0 series.

This alpha paves the way to our upcoming autoupdater by reorganizing the directory structure of the browser. This means that in-place upgrades from Tor Browser 3.6 (by extracting/copying over the old directory) will not work.

This release also features Tor 0.2.5.6, and some new defaults for NoScript to make the script permissions for a given url bar domain automatically cascade to all third parties by default (though this may be changed in the NoScript configuration).
  • Tor Browser 4.0-alpha-1 -- All Platforms
    • Ticket 10935: Include the Meek Pluggable Transport (version 0.10)
      • Two modes of Meek are provided: Meek over Google and Meek over Amazon

    • Update Tor to 0.2.5.6-alpha
    • Update OpenSSL to 1.0.1i
    • Update NoScript to 2.6.8.36
      • Script permissions now apply based on URL bar
    • Update HTTPS Everywhere to 5.0development.0
