CyberHub (previously known as skypebgrab.net) expanded its range of ethical hacking tools, proving that sometimes such scripts can help people that are in need. Normally, we look at hacking tools as being something negative but in reality, such programs can help in various situations, especially when you want to research an individual. Here are some examples of just that.
Skype Resolver
The Skype Resolver available at CyberHub is just one of the examples we can give in regards to what was mentioned above. This is a tool that can lookup the IP address of Skype users. All you need is the username of the account and you can learn where the user last logged on from. Such information allows you to easily learn a lot about the individual, including:
- Whether or not the user is actually from where he claims he is.
- If the username is online or you were blocked from seeing his access.
Tracking users based on the IP address is also a possibility. All that is needed is to have the username online and you are going to be able to find his username. At the same time, CyberHub gives you access to the IPlogger tool, which does the same thing as the Skype Resolver tool but is not restricted just to Skype users.
Resolvers
2 extra resolver tools are added to the website, giving you access to the possibility of tracking the IP address of specific users in real time. The tools that are currently available give you access to users on Minecraft and Steam.
Tracking Tools
The internet is nowadays used as a main research tool by journalists, regular users and even police officers. That is because information about usage is stored in various databases. Tools available on CyberHub take full advantage of this.
A clear example of a wonderful tracking tool is the possibility of finding account information for various websites while only having an email address as a starting point for the research. CyberHub is now offering you tools you can use in order to find the Skype username of an individual, check to see if an email actually exists and even find out if a specific email address is associated with an IP address. This last option mentioned is really good because it also gives you the possibility to find if there are specific domain names associated with that IP, leading to an even more advanced research that can be done. You can even find out if a specific enquiry happened from a geographic location or another.
The last thing that should be mentioned is that CyberHub recently launched another feature that many will appreciate: a forum where you can get help while also meeting others that have the same interests. The aim of the forum is to discuss different web ethical hacking topics accessible to people of all skill levels.
Final Thoughts
While people automatically associate hacking with negative actions, the tools that were mentioned above are a clear example that ethical hacking is possible. Such tools are often used by professionals in marketing and sales in order to offer more value for current and potential customers. Now, thanks to CyberHub, you can use them for free, without having to pay expensive memberships. Their databases are constantly updated and all tools can be used through an online browser.
