So, while the tools you will use in your hacking lab will vary, here are 11 common tools you really should have in your pen testing lab. 1 NMAP – The Scouting & Reconnaissance Tool NMAP is a reconnaissance tool that you need to learn how to use.

- Growing Opals In The Lab. Please be kind and respectful to help make the comments section excellent. Hack A Day, and the Skull and Wrenches Logo are Trademarks.
- He noted that the modder community is continuing to make hacking netbooks easier because there's a wealth of knowledge on the internet — forums, blogs and even instructions provided by Dell.
- Learn the hack - Stop the attack. WebGoat is a deliberately insecure application that allows interested developers just like you to test vulnerabilities commonly found in Java-based applications that use common and popular open source components. Web application security is difficult to learn and practice.
Opals are unique amongst gemstones, being formed from tiny silica nanospheres arranged in precise structures that give them their characteristic shifting color when seen from different angles. [The Thought Emporium] loves a challenge, so set about growing some himself.
It’s not the hardest gemstone synthesis ever, but it’s no cakewalk either. The process requires tetraethyl orthosilicate, or TEOS, which can be difficult to find, but the rest of the chemicals required are commonly available. The initial phase involves mixing the TEOS with reactants to form nanoscale silica spheres in the range of 200-350 nanometers wide. With the spheres in solution, the mixture must then be carefully dried in such a way as to create the right structure to produce opal’s famous color effects. At this stage, industrial producers add further silica to stabilize the matrix, though [The Thought Emporium] wasn’t able to find literature that explained how to do this. Instead, he relied on resin, which while imperfect, did allow the specimens to be stabilised and shown off for the purposes of the video.
The video notes that many of the steps in this process were perfected decades ago, but remain held as trade secrets, making replication an exercise in experimentation. Nonetheless, success was had in producing recognisably opalescent specimens, and we can’t wait to see further refinement of the DIY process.
We’ve seen similar work from [The Thought Emporium] before, exploring structural color and holograms. Video after the break.
