  • IPRanger

  • InfluxDB

    Access the most powerful time series database as a service. Ingest, store, & analyze all types of time series data in a fully-managed, purpose-built database. Keep data forever with low-cost storage and superior data compression.

  • BloodHound

    Six Degrees of Domain Admin

    Can help us enumerate which devices are on a network using ICMP packets (pings) or ARP. Some specialised tools such as Bloodhound may help us enumerate networks using Active Directory.

  • PyRCON

    Menu based python recon tool

    We can see there are 5 ports open. We may be able to exploit the HTTP service on port 80 or gain access to SSH on port 20. Port scanning can be slow, tools such as PyRCON and Rust Scanner may help us speed up this process. Typically this isn't necessary but in a KOTH or battlegrounds game, we can't spare the time.

  • RustScan

  • Sonar

    Write Clean Python Code. Always.. Sonar helps you commit clean code every time. With over 225 unique rules to find Python bugs, code smells & vulnerabilities, Sonar finds the issues while you focus on the work.

  • wpscan

    WPScan WordPress security scanner. Written for security professionals and blog maintainers to test the security of their WordPress websites. Contact us via [email protected]

    Specialised tools can be used, for example WPScan. Allowing us to enumerate the wordpress CMS.

  • Sublist3r

    Fast subdomains enumeration tool for penetration testers

    In a real-world scenario. You're likely to come across a target with more than one domain, each having it's own subdomains. There's plenty of tools that you can use to discover these. Again, PyRCON offers some options for this but I like tools such as sublist3r and publicly available records such as security trials.
