A hacker's toolkit is a crucial collection of software, scripts, and tools used by hackers and cybersecurity experts to test, analyze, and secure systems.
Hackers use toolkits for tasks such as penetration testing, vulnerability assessment, physical testing, and more.
Some popular hacking tools include USB Rubber Ducky, Wi-Fi Pineapple, Raspberry Pi, and Kali Linux Live USB, among others.
The USB Rubber Ducky is a specialized USB device capable of executing pre-defined scripts with high speed, allowing automated tasks or attacks.
Flipper Zero is a portable multi-tool for pen-testers and hardware hackers that combines various functionalities and can read and emulate RFID tags.
Wi-Fi Pineapple is designed for network auditing and man-in-the-middle attacks and thus can intercept communications between users and legitimate networks.
Raspberry Pi is a small, affordable computer popular among hackers and developers and can be configured as a network sniffer or intrusion detection system, among others.
Kali Linux Live USB is a bootable USB drive containing a popular distribution tailored for penetration testing and ethical hacking, and it allows running a fully functional OS without affecting the host machine.
The abundance of tools can make selecting the right ones time-consuming, especially for beginners, but they offer essential capabilities to cybersecurity professionals.
