- Free and Open Source
- In Kali by default
- Enumeration and checks for many known vulnerabilities
- Open Source offshoot from when Nessus it stopped being opensource

Scripts are found on kali at:
/usr/share/nmap/scripts
nmap --script-help default
Or for a specific script:
nmap --script-help nameOfScript
Run all default scripts together with a port-scan. These scripts could possibily crash certain servers. Causing a denial-of-service. So never run this on production servers.
nmap -sC 192.168.1.101
Nmap has categoriesed their scripts into several different categories to make it easier to run a few of them together
uth
broadcast
default
discovery
dos
exploit
external
fuzzer
intrusive
malware
safe
version
vuln
So if you want to test all the vuln-scripts you do
nmap 192.168.1.10 -sC vuln
nikto -h example.com
My personal favorite, Burp Suite is a web application proxy with some really awesome features:
- Creates a site map as you browse (spidering will also fill out the sitemap)
- Repeater to quickly edit and resend requests such as payloads to assess any differences in the response
- Intruder can do anything from bruteforce logins, to content discovery, to fuzzing, to blind sql injection
- Pro Version has active and passive scanners as you browse as well as source code analysis
- Many addon modules can be loaded to increase Burp's functionality even more (Best one's are Pro Version only)
uniscan -h 192.168.1.102
