RE: Tools to use for Penetration Testing?

["Veal, Richard" <rveal () westernpower co uk>]

Insecure.org top 100 security tools would be a good place to start for
the more common stuff, doenst take long to find that out on google i.e.
< 5 seconds

Subject: Tools to use for Penetration Testing?

Hello

I am interested in getting started as a white hat hacker/pen tester.

I would like to know what tools I should get familiar with, and be able
to use to be a pen-tester.

I only know of a few at the moment, and of them, I only use 2 (NMap and
Wireshark).

Can I please receive recommendations on tools to use?

Thanks in advance,

Chip Panarchy

PS: I am currently in training towards my CCNA and (maybe) MCSE.
