We have a vast array of tools that are focused to specific tasks such as encoders and hashers, Base 64, MD5, SHA1, and Unicode.

Tools that are created to exploit a specific type of vulnerability are, for example, SQL injectors such as SQL map, XSS consoles such as Beef to demonstrate the impact of a XSS and DOM XSS, scanners such as Dominator, and many more. Also, an important type of tool in the tool kit is the post exploitation tool.

These tools are needed once you manage to exploit a vulnerability and help you to control the server, upload files, Shells, proxy content to the internal network, and expand your attack internally. There are many other tools to overcome the infinite challenges we find while testing new applications and technologies.
