Includes Information Gathering Tools, Vulnerability Analysis and Exploitation Tools.<\/p>\n

Forensic<\/strong><\/p>\n

Tools that allows to examine digital media in a forensically sound manner with the aim of identifying, preserving, recovering, analyzing and presenting facts and opinions about the digital information.<\/p>\n

Wireless Attacks tools<\/strong><\/p>\n
