From Burp Suite, Wireshark, Hydra, Kali Linux, to John the Ripper. If you want to learn web security, Burp Suite is almost always the first tool you learn.
Speaker A
If you want to see network traffic, Wireshark and NMAP are two of the most frequently used tools. But if you had to choose one, the answer would be Kali Linux because it already has hundreds of security tools including
