Pentesting Machine

Operating System

I either use Kali Linux or ParrotOS. Usually cloning the seclists in the home directory and installing any tool I feel needed.

Tools

The following list is a list of must-have tools I add on top of the already available ones in the distros.

This list will be expanded with time

• exploitdb

• Oracle-Tools-setup.sh

• Impacket MSSQL client and tools

• Nuclei

• crowbar

• sqsh
