op 5 Tools for Beginners
1. Nmap + Nmap-bootstrap-xsl
A classic. Nmap is your port scanner, and Nmap-bootstrap-xsl turns raw logs into convenient HTML reports. This is where anyone who's ever touched a bug bounty starts.→ GitHub
2. Gobuster
A simple and powerful directory and subdomain bruteforcer. It quickly scans the dictionary and shows where a site has extra doors.→ GitHub
3. Aquatone
Subdomain reconnaissance + page screenshots. Convenient when you need to visualize the attack surface. Often helps spot "hanging" services forgotten by admins.→ GitHub
4. XSStrike
An XSS hunting tool. It finds reflected and DOM-based bugs, penetrates WAFs, and automates what would take hours to do manually.→ GitHub
5. SecLists
The Dictionary Bible. Subdomains, passwords, directories—it's all already collected for you. It's the fuel for most scanners.→ GitHub
TOP 3 tools for advanced users
1. Reconftw
A monster script that automates everything from collecting subdomains and finding open S3 buckets to checking XSS, SQLi, and LFI. Run it once and get a full report on the target.→ GitHub
2. Sn1per
A combined tool that can do almost everything: OSINT, port scanning, bug hunting, brute-force attacks, and even carpet bombing. There's a free Community version and a paid Pro version. It's heavyweight, but powerful.→ GitHub
3. TIDoS Framework
A framework with over a hundred modules. It covers the full cycle: reconnaissance, analysis, and exploitation. It works like Metasploit for the web—you choose modules and combine them to suit your needs.→ GitHub
Conclusion
These tools cover everything from reconnaissance and vulnerability scanning to automation of serious attacks. There are actually many more scanners, but these tools are more than enough. This is all for informational purposes, you know
