Exploiting Vulnerabilities

Abstract

What makes an excellent carpenter? The most obvious answer would, of course, be excellent craftsmanship. But without the right tools, not even the world’s greatest carpenter could make a decent table. The same is true for a security tester; she needs the right tools to carry out a decent security test. These tools are, most of the time, the very same tools that a hacker would use to try to force her way into a system.
