Let’s start with a comparison between one thing and another, typically for the purpose of explanation or clarification.
A bricklayer with many years of experience goes to land to perform a job. He knows the tools at his disposal. When he needs to dig the ground to make the foundation, for example, he goes to the truck and gets a digger. In short, he is able to use a wide range of tools to perform various tasks and make the effort he must exert much less.
A “newbie” bricklayer, on the other hand, isn’t intimately acquainted with these tools, so he sticks to the only tools he knows and tries to do everything with them. He finds himself with a wheelbarrow trying to gather sands to mix with cement.
So as a cybersecurity expert, you don’t want to find yourself with a little knowledge of these tools that attackers are basically using and consequently incomplete.
So here today, we will be looking at some hacking tools you should learn to use. Though they are not the most common hacking tools.
I have deliberately chosen some that I use that you may not have heard or seen them before. Hopefully, this will help you increase your knowledge.
