MR. ROBOT - Hack tools used in the series

The hack tools used in the Mr. Robot series

  • Kali Linux 😗

First things first, the Kali Linux system is one of the strongest and most famous hacking systems, it includes hundreds of hacking tools and the most powerful also, it has many copies in the past that were called BackTrack before Offensive Security changed the name in 2014 to Kali Linux and launched a group  Of its releases, in each version a part of the system is improved to become today one of the most powerful and most popular hack systems ever.

The system was used by almost all the characters in the series, in a series of hacking scenes headed by "Elliot", the hero of the Mr. Robot series, and a set of tools were used within this system as well.

  • DeepSound 😗

It is a tool that provides you with the ability to save files and data in the form of music clips, even in the case of intruding on you and your data, all that the intruder can find is a collection of music clips, no more, but behind those clips, there are sensitive files of your own that have been hidden in a smart way  You cannot see the files behind those clips without using the DeepSound tool.

"Elliott" used the tool in the first part, Episode Eight, to hide a group of files on a floppy disk, then put the floppy disk within a group of other musical discs as well as a kind of camouflage.

  • HDShreder 😗

This tool allows you to delete the hard disk from its parent disk and delete everything inside it so that no data can be recovered from the hard disk at all. It is available in a group of Linux systems. We also recommend it if you want to delete all data and information on a specific hard disk without the ability to recover it.

This tool was used in the first part, the tenth episode, in order to delete all information and data after the penetration of Evil Corp, and to delete all traces of the hack of the Fsociety.

  • Btscanner 😗

A hacking tool is also available in the Kali Linux system if you want to review it. These tools allow you to collect the largest amount of information about a specific device through Bluetooth without the need to communicate with the other device, it is sufficient for the Bluetooth to be activated in the device, you can collect almost all kinds of information  For the device (computer, phone ...) through Bluetooth only and this tool can definitely achieve that.

This tool was used along with Metasploit and Bluesniff by Elliott in the sixth episode of the first part of the series in order to collect a collection of information from a police computer in a car.

  • Metasploit 😗

Speaking of Metasploit, it may be mentioned that it is one of the most used tools in the Mr. Robot series, and one of the most used tools by hackers in the world and is considered one of the most powerful hacking tools as well, Metasploit is a large and huge project that includes a huge collection, One of the powerful and effective hacking tools as well, and its wide and universal use, are found in several systems, such as Alkali, Linux and his friends, and a copy of them is also available on Windows, I think.

Metasploit was used in many episodes and many tools were used within it (which we will discuss in this article), for example, the previous tool in the first part and sixth episode of the series, where Metasploit was also used to penetrate the police car's computer.

  • FlexiSPY 😗

A professional spy tool that supports a group of mobile systems such as Android, iOS and others, also supports BlackBerry devices, this tool allows you, after installing it in the victim's phone, to see and monitor all the events that the victim reaches on his phone, whatever it is.

 Tyrell Werek, in the Mr Robot series in the third episode of the first part, installed it on his friend’s phone, who visited his home on his BlackBerry phone, to see and spy on him and get to know the new chief technology officer of Evil Corp.

  • Tor 😗

You can clearly notice that most of the characters, especially members of the fSociety team, use Tor Browser, which is a specialized browser that encrypts your connection on many layers, and also allows you to access Onion sites, which are often highly encrypted and protected, in practice we find many  People use Tor Browser to access the hidden Deep Web world, and it can also be used as a kind of VPN in order to open blocked websites in your country or cover your connection to any website without being tracked or spied by any outside companies.

  •  Wickr 😗

A dedicated chat application protected by the End to End Encryption encryption system, available on almost all platforms from Windows, Linux, Mac and even mobile phones, this tool allows you to chat freely away from any kind of spying, this tool was used in the second part To communicate between members of the fosciety team.

  •  Pwnix 😗

And it is a modified ROM for Android systems and the devices supporting this system, this ROM allows you to configure your device and convert it completely into an effective penetration system, so that you can make your phone a tool for hacking and spying with great effectiveness, this ROM is free and everyone can download and use it in their devices  From his official website.

It was used on both "Elliott" and "Darlene" in the second part of the Mr Robot series in order to spy on the calls of the Dark Army members.

  • John The Ripper 😗

Another powerful tool to decrypt passwords is also, most likely when you hack into any type of account or system, you will get the passwords or data in encrypted form, this is imperative, and each encryption has its own decryption system, John The Ripper tool decrypts  These data and passwords, you first determine the type of encryption used, then you decode this encryption through Brute Force.

In Part One, Episode Two, Elliott used this tool to decode some information about the CEO of Evil Corp.

  • Social Engineer Toolkit 😗

A tool found within the aforementioned Metasploit project, this tool allows you to do many social engineering operations in a unique way of creating fake pages, perhaps creating fake accounts and others in order to deceive the victim and drop him into your trap. Packages specialized in penetrating behavior and the human mind more than penetrating the victim's device.

In Part One, Episode Five, Elliott uses the SE Toolkit to send a specific SMS message to a Montain Steele in the chain.

  • KVM 😗

HyperV tool allows you to run different systems in a specific system such as Vmware or Virtual Box, but it is more specific for Linux. You can use this tool on Linux to run and simulate other systems on Linux. By the same principle, use the "Elliot" KVM in the loop  The sixth of the first part on his computer in order to run the Windows 7 system on his Alkali Linux system, and he also used it in the eighth episode of the first part as well when he wanted to run the DeepSound tool that we explained earlier.

  • FramaRoot 😗

You may remember the FlexiSpy tool that we explained above, and how Tyrell used it in order to insert it into his friend's device, but before he had to root his friend's phone in order to enable the use of FlexiSPY tool, in order to do a fast root process, use the tool  FramaRoot, a tool that can root and make any device get the root and the powers to access any service on the device, in order to spy on his friend as we mentioned previously.

  • Slackware 😗

A Linux distribution also dedicated to hacking was created in 1993 and has received many updates since. The distribution principle does not contradict other distributions. It was used in the Mr. Robot series when "Elliott" in the third part, the tenth episode, made an agreement with the Dark Army in order to save "  Darlene, "A member of the Dark Army gave him a computer that uses Slackware as an operating system. Just a simple selection of this system, but there is no harm in adding it in this article.

  • Radare 😗

A tool dedicated to doing reverse engineering operations. Reverse engineering allows you to know the techniques, method, algorithms and codes even that have been used in building specific software through the method of reversing their work. In the second part in the twelfth episode, "Tyrell" used this tool as well.  In order to achieve his own purposes.

  • Pycharm 😗

JetBrains is a code editor that allows you to write code in the Python programming language and program programs in this language and its frameworks also using this program. It supports different environments as well. The Pycharm editor was used by "Trenton" in the first part, the fourth episode when she wanted  Python software making, of course, that's clear I think.

  • FireFox / VLC Media 😗

Here I will merge two programs and show them instead of one program, because they are known in the original and do not need a lengthy or short explanation whatsoever. FireFox browser was also used alongside Tor browser in the Mr. Robot series, and VLC Media Player was also used in order to watch  And review some of the videos in the series as well, and they are two very well-known programs that are widely used and often you own them on your computer as any other user in this world has.

Respberry PI 😗

Raspberry pieces are specially programmed to do specific jobs, Arduino also confronts them, but in the Mr. Robot series only Raspberry was used, you can do almost anything with Raspberry, as this robotic piece allows you, after being programmed to do many things, you can see projects. Infinite people have designed many things with it, from locking their homes to facial recognition features, to integrating their computers with their cars and equipping them with such parts.

In Part One, Episode Five, Elliott uses a Raspberry PI to control the temperature of the storage room at Steel Montain so that he and his fsoceity team can control the room temperature later as needed.

  • FileZilla 😗

It is considered one of the powerful programs dedicated to communicating with servers through the FTP protocol. Perhaps you used it one day to connect to a specific server or host and upload your files to it, well, not a hacking tool of course, but it appeared in the chain right?  When "Trenton" uploaded a program for the Raspberry PI tool that Elliott previously added in the storage room, as previously mentioned.

Other tools used in the series

The Mr. Robot series is really wonderful when it comes to the hack scenes and the tools used, they show them for what they are, and many many programs have been used in the series, we have reviewed most of them for you, but there are other programs such as:

  • Proton Mail
  • Wget
  • OpenWrt
  • MimiKatz
  • Kingo Root
  • Can Utils
  • PuTTY
  • FFmpeg

You can search for every software you want, investigate more about it, and use it yourself too if you want.
