A Beginner's Guide to Penetration Testing (Part 1)
After our initial port scan, we might do more scans depending on what we find. In order to be as effective as possible, and to gather as much information as possible, pentesters are often running multiple scans simultaneously on a target. There are hundreds of tools out there for every service imaginable. Some of the tools worth mentioning are wpscan (https://wpscan.com/wordpress-security-scanner) for Wordpress sites or sqlmap (https://sqlmap.org/) for automatic SQL injection. For a more extensive list of tools check out https://0xcybery.github.io/ehtk/ or https://github.com/enaqx/awesome-pentest
