- It's important to ask yourselves a series of questions about any tool you are thinking of adopting, analyzing how it will fit into your existing workflow, what value it will add, how it is uniquely positioned to add that value, and more.
- Burp Notes, the Burp Python Scripter, and the JSON Beautifier (one of many beautifiers) are just a few of the great extensions we've covered.
- nmap and Aircrack-ng are both best practice tools for network pentesting.
- Burp Pro gives you the Burp Scanner, automated PoC generation, and several other useful Advanced Manual Tools.
- Kali Linux comes packaged with many of the tools researchers rely on. The fact that it can also live-boot from a disk makes it a lightweight solution for any pentesting lab.
