Dear all,
I would like to compile a list of popular penetration testing tools, and of course I already did some research on various sites, but I am wondering if those lists I found are still up to date, for example the one over at sectools.org.
I'm currently writing a paper on recent or foreseen changes in the legislation in Germany and the UK, more specifically the so called "Hacker-Paragraph" 202c StGB in Germany, and a similar piece of legal code in the UK, an amendment to the Computer Misuse Act banning "hacking" tools.
A part of my paper will also look at currently popular pen testing tools and their usage in this new legal environment. Moreover I will have to take a look at the history of those tools, since one of the requirements of them being unlawful is the reason for their creation, meaning for pure testing purposes or "hacking"/"cracking".
So my question is: when you think of pen testing, which tools are you thinking of?
Thank you all in advance for your replies!
Beo
