"Penetration testing is often considered an art as much as it is a science, but even
an artist needs the right brushes to do the job well. Many commercial and open source
tools exist for performing penetration testing, but it's often hard to ensure that
you know what tools are available and which ones to use for a certain task. Through
the next ten chapters, we'll be exploring the plethora of open source tools that are
available to you as a penetration tester, how to use them, and in which situations
they apply. Open source tools are pieces of software which are available with the
source code so that the software can be modified and improved by other interested
contributors. In most cases, this software comes with a license allowing for distribution
of the modified software version with the requirement that the source code continue
to be included with the distribution. In many cases, open source software becomes
a community effort where dozens if not hundreds of people are actively contributing
code and improvements to the software project. This type of project tends to result
in a stronger and more valuable piece of software than what would often be developed
by a single individual or small company. While commercial tools certainly exist in
the penetration testing space, they're often expensive and, in some cases, too automated
to be useful for all penetration testing scenarios. There are many common situations
where the open source tools that we will be talking about fill a need better and (obviously)
more cost effectively than any commercial tool. The tools that we will be discussing
throughout this book are all open source and available for you to use in your work
as a penetration tester"--Provided by publisher
