This presentation offers an illuminating glimpse into the open-source and free tools utilized by cybersecurity professionals for comprehensive security assessments. We will walk through how tools like Masscan, Nuclei, Impacket, Roadtools, Burp Suite Community Edition, and OWASP ZAP are applied across the essential phases of ethical hacking: reconnaissance, enumeration, exploitation, credential spraying, and web application testing.
