Name : SqlMap

Description : SQLMap is a powerful open-source penetration testing tool designed to


automate the process of detecting and exploiting SQL injection vulnerabilities in web
applications. It can identify various types of SQL injection vulnerabilities, including blind,
time-based, error-based, and union-based injections. SQLMap conducts comprehensive
testing to determine the severity of vulnerabilities and offers features for automated
exploitation, data extraction, enumeration, and post-exploitation actions. It supports
advanced techniques to bypass security measures and can be customized for specific
testing requirements. Overall, SQLMap is an indispensable tool for security
professionals and penetration testers to identify and exploit SQL injection vulnerabilities
effectively.

Name : Hash Cat

Description : Hashcat is a versatile password cracking tool used for testing the
strength of passwords. It employs various techniques such as dictionary attacks, brute-
force attacks, and rule-based attacks to attempt to crack hashed passwords. By
analyzing hashed passwords obtained from sources like password databases or
compromised systems, Hashcat helps identify weak or easily guessable passwords. It's
commonly used by security professionals and penetration testers to assess password
security and recommend improvements to strengthen password practices.

Name : Social Engineering Toolkit ( SET )

Description : The Social-Engineer Toolkit (SET) is an open-source framework


designed for simulating and executing social engineering attacks. It provides a range of
tools and modules that automate various social engineering techniques, including
phishing, credential harvesting, and exploitation of human vulnerabilities. SET assists
security professionals and penetration testers in assessing the security awareness of
organizations by demonstrating the potential risks posed by social engineering attacks.
It's commonly used for security testing, training, and educational purposes, helping
organizations identify and mitigate the human factor in cybersecurity threats.
