Metasploit Framework: A widely used tool that allows ethical hackers to simulate attacks, ranging from reconnaissance to post-exploitation. Its modular structure ensures adaptability to emerging vulnerabilities.
Burp Suite: Ideal for web application security testing, it offers both automated and manual options to identify flaws in web-based systems, especially as more businesses migrate online.
Wireshark: A real-time network protocol analyzer that helps penetration testers identify network vulnerabilities, crucial as networks become more complex with IoT and 5G.
Nmap: One of the most reliable tools for network discovery, it remains essential for auditing and mapping network structures, especially with the rise of cloud computing.
