SecFox is nothing but a customized version of Firefox which is intended for performing web application security tests and audits. Using SecFox reduces time and effort we would have put if we had used any other browser along with tons of free + commercial tools used for testing the apps.

Firefox is an amazing browser whose features can be extended by installing addons or tweaking the browser itself. This feature of it is utilized to the max for building a powerful hacking/testing tool, SecFox.

Easily map your frequntly accessed directories in your PC’s to a drive. You can choose the any drive letter from the set of ‘not used’ drives which is displayed in the tool.

Virtual Subst

This can be of very much use if mapping is done for folders with a long path, so that VirtualSubst can act like a bookmark.

TIP:

I usually take backup of my thumbdrive in a particular location, say D:\Usb. Now, when the thumbdrive is not connected, with VirtualSubst I can map the Usb back up folder to a drive letter which would have been assigned if thumbdrive was connected. So my backup folder acts as a virutal usb drive with the advantage of having active linking of most recent files list in my Word or any app. This also helps in creating desktop shortcuts of files present in the thumbdrive, which can be accessed if the thumbdrive is connected or not.

Features

• Tiny and Portable
• Option to enable virtual drives at startup
• Add/Delete any number of virtual drives quickly
