OWASP Mantra

[Facelift]

I have read few topics in this section, and I found one to be very intresting created by " lucid" called The Art of Anonymity which explains a lot of thing in great details. It also gave me an understanding of all different little things that annonimity is made up of (when as before I thought all I need to be anonymous is change my ip address with proxy or VPN and that's it).


He has mentioned a lot of browser based functions that need to be cleared and modified to stay annonymous. However that topic was created some time ago and some of those plugins are not working with the current version of Firefox (yes you could download an older version).


However I found this browser called "OWASP Mantra " after searching for some of the plugins for Firefox. This browser has been created to TEST SECURITY. Now my question is, has anyone heard of it? is it safe to use? (my thinking is: since company developed a browser with hacking tools for testing security purposes. Maybe they have build in some tracking thing so new and naive hackers can be caught by the developer and reported to police)? It has a very neat layout and some of the tools buildin. I am really looking for your opinion / experience here. Perhaps you can also recommend a different browser good for searching illegal things or best version of firefox.

The topic isnt that old and the plugins are in this or another form still wide spread and in great numbers.
And I dont really see how using OWASP pluging would help you to stay anonymous.
Im not gonna chew all the stuff that was posted there or in other topics , be more specific.

OWASP has most of these plugins already build-in the browser and its a lot neater (the addons are on the left side and it has nice clear layout). I just wanted to find out if its safe to use.

HconSTF Even for anonymity and many other things! Did malware analysis using this tool! Also it don't contain any "backdoors or will lead you to police"
Far more secure and the best part is "hackery" in it. It gives you hacking study resources like hacking blogs category vise! Just love it!
