Tools of the Trade for Learning Cybersecurity

I created this post for the Studyblr Masterpost Jam, check out the tag for more cool masterposts from folks in the studyblr community!

Cybersecurity professionals use a lot of different tools to get the job done. There are plenty of fancy and expensive tools that enterprise security teams use, but luckily there are also lots of brilliant people writing free and open-source software. In this post, I'm going to list some popular free tools that you can download right now to practice and learn with.

In my opinion, one of the most important tools you can learn how to use is a virtual machine. If you're not already familiar with Linux, this is a great way to learn. VMs are helpful for separating all your security tools from your everyday OS, isolating potentially malicious files, and just generally experimenting. You'll need to use something like VirtualBox or VMWare Workstation (Workstation Pro is now free for personal use, but they make you jump through hoops to download it).

Below is a list of some popular cybersecurity-focused Linux distributions that come with lots of tools pre-installed:

Kali is a popular distro that comes loaded with tools for penetration testing

REMnux is a distro built for malware analysis

honorable mention for FLARE-VM, which is not a VM on its own, but a set of scripts for setting up a malware analysis workstation & installing tools on a Windows VM.

SANS maintains several different distros that are used in their courses. You'll need to create an account to download them, but they're all free:

Slingshot is built for penetration testing

SIFT Workstation is a distro that comes with lots of tools for digital forensics

These distros can be kind of overwhelming if you don't know how to use most of the pre-installed software yet, so just starting with a regular Linux distribution and installing tools as you want to learn them is another good choice for learning.

Free Software

Wireshark: sniff packets and explore network protocols

Ghidra and the free version of IDA Pro are the top picks for reverse engineering

for digital forensics, check out Eric Zimmerman's tools - there are many different ones for exploring & analyzing different forensic artifacts

pwntools is a super useful Python library for solving binary exploitation CTF challenges

CyberChef is a tool that makes it easy to manipulate data - encryption & decryption, encoding & decoding, formatting, conversions… CyberChef gives you a lot to work with (and there's a web version - no installation required!).

Burp Suite is a handy tool for web security testing that has a free community edition

Metasploit is a popular penetration testing framework, check out Metasploitable if you want a target to practice with

SANS also has a list of free tools that's worth checking out.

Programming Languages

Knowing how to write code isn't a hard requirement for learning cybersecurity, but it's incredibly useful. Any programming language will do, especially since learning one will make it easy to pick up others, but these are some common ones that security folks use:

Python is quick to write, easy to learn, and since it's so popular, there are lots of helpful libraries out there.

PowerShell is useful for automating things in the Windows world. It's built on .NET, so you can practically dip into writing C# if you need a bit more power.

Go is a relatively new language, but it's popular and there are some security tools written in it.

Rust is another new-ish language that's designed for memory safety and it has a wonderful community. There's a bit of a steep learning curve, but learning Rust makes you understand how memory bugs work and I think that's neat.

If you want to get into reverse engineering or malware analysis, you'll want to have a good grasp of C and C++.

Other Tools for Cybersecurity

There are lots of things you'll need that aren't specific to cybersecurity, like:

a good system for taking notes, whether that's pen & paper or software-based. I recommend using something that lets you work in plain text or close to it.

general command line familiarity + basic knowledge of CLI text editors (nano is great, but what if you have to work with a system that only has vi?)

familiarity with git and docker will be helpful

There are countless scripts and programs out there, but the most important thing is understanding what your tools do and how they work. There is no magic "hack this system" or "solve this forensics case" button. Tools are great for speeding up the process, but you have to know what the process is. Definitely take some time to learn how to use them, but don't base your entire understanding of security on code that someone else wrote. That's how you end up as a "script kiddie", and your skills and knowledge will be limited.

Feel free to send me an ask if you have questions about any specific tool or something you found that I haven't listed. I have approximate knowledge of many things, and if I don't have an answer I can at least help point you in the right direction.

OHHH yes — Kali Linux vs Parrot OS — the eternal debate among cybersecurity enthusiasts, ethical hackers, and digital warriors like you ⚔️🖥️ Let’s break it down clearly and honestly:

🔥 KALI LINUX

Developed by: Offensive Security Focus: Penetration Testing & Red Team Ops Base: Debian Best For: Professionals, CTFs, Exploitation

🔧 Key Highlights:

Comes pre-loaded with 600+ tools.

Regularly used in OSCP, CEH, and other cert training.

Lightweight and minimal, but that means you have to configure a lot yourself.

Designed with experienced users in mind.

Has a “Kali Undercover” mode to mimic Windows (yes, for ops that require stealth 🔥).

👎 Cons:

Not very privacy-focused.

Can be too raw for beginners unless you're already deep in the game.

Not designed for daily use or casual browsing.

🦜 PARROT OS

Developed by: Frozenbox Focus: Penetration Testing AND Privacy Base: Debian Best For: Beginners to Intermediates, Privacy Geeks

🔧 Key Highlights:

Includes anonymity tools (Tor, I2P, Anonsurf) by default.

Offers multiple editions: Security, Home, and Cloud.

More polished UI — easier out of the box.

Lighter on system resources compared to Kali.

Better for everyday use + hacking tools baked in.

👎 Cons:

Slightly less tool-rich than Kali (but not by much).

Might feel "bloated" to users who want just pen-testing stuff.

⚔️ HEAD-TO-HEAD: WHO WINS?

FeatureKali Linux 💀Parrot OS 🦜Toolset💯🔥Privacy Tools😬✅Performance (lightweight)💪⚡Beginner-Friendly😵👍Community Support🧠 Massive💬 SolidLooks/PolishMinimalistSleek

🧠 BOTTOM LINE:

Choose Kali if: You're serious about offensive security, studying for a cert like OSCP, or want maximum control over tools and configurations. Think Red Team.

Choose Parrot OS if: You want a more balanced experience between hacking tools and daily usability, with added privacy features and a user-friendly design.

Both are powerful. It comes down to your use case and how much of a tinkerer vs user you are.

Gaining Windows Credentialed Access Using Mimikatz and WCE

Prerequisites & Requirements

In order to follow along with the tools and techniques utilized in this document, you will need to use one of the following offensive Linux distributions:

Kali Linux

Parrot OS

The following is a list of recommended technical prerequisites that you will need in order to get the most out of this course:

Familiarity with Linux system administration.

Familiarity with Windows.

Functional knowledge of TCP/IP.

Familiarity with penetration testing concepts and life-cycle.

Note: The techniques and tools utilized in this document were performed on Kali Linux 2021.2 Virtual Machine

MITRE ATT&CK Credential Access Techniques

Credential Access consists of techniques for stealing credentials like account names and passwords. Techniques used to get credentials include: keylogging or credential dumping. Using legitimate credentials can give adversaries access to systems, make them harder to detect, and provide the opportunity to create more accounts to help achieve their goals.

The techniques outlined under the Credential Access tactic provide us with a clear and methodical way of extracting credentials and hashes from memory on a target system.

The following is a list of key techniques and sub techniques that we will be exploring:

Dumping SAM Database.

Extracting clear-text passwords and NTLM hashes from memory.

Dumping LSA Secrets

Scenario

Our objective is to extract credentials and hashes from memory on the target system after we have obtained an initial foothold. In this case, we will be taking a look at how to extract credentials and hashes with Mimikatz.

Note: We will be taking a look at how to use Mimikatz with Empire, however, the same techniques can also be replicated with meterpreter or other listeners as the Mimikatz syntax is universal.

Meterpreter is a Metasploit payload that provides attackers with an interactive shell that can be used to run commands, navigate the filesystem, and download or upload files to and from the target system.

Credential Access With Mimikatz

Mimikatz is a Windows post-exploitation tool written by Benjamin Delpy (@gentilkiwi). It allows for the extraction of plaintext credentials from memory, password hashes from local SAM/NTDS.dit databases, advanced Kerberos functionality, and more.

The SAM (Security Account Manager) database, is a database file on Windows systems that stores user’s passwords and can be used to authenticate users both locally and remotely. 

The Mimikatz codebase is located at https://github.com/gentilkiwi/mimikatz/, and there is also an expanded wiki at https://github.com/gentilkiwi/mimikatz/wiki . 

In order to extract cleartext passwords and hashes from memory on a target system, we will need an Empire agent with elevated privileges.

Extracting Cleartext Passwords & Hashes From Memory

Empire uses an adapted version of PowerSploit’s Invoke-Mimikatz function written by Joseph Bialek to execute Mimikatz functionality in PowerShell without touching disk.

PowerSploit is a collection of PowerShell modules that can be used to aid penetration testers during all phases of an assessment. 

Empire can take advantage of nearly all Mimikatz functionality through PowerSploit’s Invoke-Mimikatz module.

We can invoke the Mimikatz prompt on the target agent by following the procedures outlined below.

The first step in the process involves interacting with your high integrity agent, this can be done by running the following command in the Empire client:

interact <AGENT-ID>/<NAME>

The next step is to Invoke Mimikatz on the Agent shell, this can be done by running the following command:

mimikatz

This will invoke Mimikatz on the target system and you should be able to interact with the Mimikatz prompt.

Before we take a look at how to dump cleartext credentials from memory with Mimikatz, you should confirm that you have the required privileges to take advantage of the various Mimikaz features, this can be done by running the following command in the Mimikatz prompt:

mimikatz # privilege::debug

If you have the correct privileges you should receive the message “Privilege ‘20’ OK” as shown in the following screenshot.

We can now extract cleartext passwords from memory with Mimikatz by running the following command in the Mimikatz prompt:

mimikatz # sekurlsa::logonpasswords

If successful, Mimikatz will output a list of cleartext passwords for user accounts and service accounts as shown in the following screenshot.

In this scenario, we were able to obtain the cleartext password for the Administrator user as well as the NTLM hash.

NTLM is the default hash format used by Windows to store passwords.

Dumping SAM Database

We can also dump the contents of the SAM (Security Account Manager) database with Mimikatz, this process will also require an Agent with administrative privileges.

The Security Account Manager (SAM) is a database file used on modern Windows systems and is used to store user account passwords. It can be used to authenticate local and remote users. 

We can dump the contents of the SAM database on the target system by running the following command in the Mimikatz prompt:

mimikatz # lsadump::sam

If successful Mimikatz will output the contents of the SAM database as shown in the following screenshot.

As highlighted in the previous screenshot, the SAM database contains the user accounts and their respective NTLM hashes.

LSA Secrets

Mimikatz also has the ability to dump LSA Secrets, LSA secrets is a storage location used by the Local Security Authority (LSA) on Windows.

You can learn more about LSA and how it works here: https://networkencyclopedia.com/local-security-authority-lsa/

The purpose of the Local Security Authority is to manage a system’s local security policy, as a result, it will typically store data pertaining to user accounts such as user logins, authentication of users, and their LSA secrets, among other things. It is to be noted that this technique also requires an Agent with elevated privileges.

We can dump LSA Secrets on the target system by running the following command in the Mimikatz prompt:

mimikatz # lsadump::secrets

If successful Mimikatz will output the LSA Secrets on the target system as shown in the following screenshot.

So far, we have been able to extract both cleartext credentials as well as NTLM hashes for all the user and service accounts on the system. These credentials and hashes will come in handy when we will be exploring lateral movement techniques and how we can legitimately authenticate with the target system with the credentials and hashes we have been able to extract.

Slingshots for a Spider

I recently finished (didn't take the test, I was just stumbling through the course, open mouthed and scared) the ineffable WEB-300: Advanced Web Attacks and Exploitation, from the magnanimous OffSec, which is the preparation course for the Offensive Security Web Expert certification (OSWE). The image is a very cool digital black widow spider, which makes sense, because the course is teaching you how to be an attacker on 'the web'.

As scared as I am of spiders, I am enamored by this course. Enough to stare at it for two years then finally take it and complete it over one grueling year. It covers things like: Blind SQL Injection - setting things up in a program called Burpsuite, to repeatedly try sending various things, then clicking a button, and seeing how a website answers, whether it gives us info or errors (which is more info!)

Authentication Bypass Exploitation - skirting around the steps that websites use to make sure you are who you say you are, like taking a 'reset password' click of a button, knowing some admin's email, and getting a database to spit out the token so we can get to the website to reset the password before the admin.

and Server-Side Request Forgery - making a server (someone else's computer in charge of doing real work instead of messing around with a human) ask its connections and resources to get something for you.

Now I know what you're probably thinking: Holy cow, where to even start? If you're not thinking that, congratulations. If you are, I've the answer: Tools. No spider is eating flies without sensing, lurking, biting... this metaphor to say: No one's doing it by hand with no help.

So what tools are helpful? How do you know what's good, what's useful, what's a dime a dozen, what's only going to do part of what you want versus all of it...

Luckily the fan favorites are famous for a reason. Just about anything you'd need is already downloaded into Kali Linux, which is jam packed with much, much more than the average hacker even needs!

Tools are dependent on what you need to do. For this class we need to inspect web traffic, recover source code, analyze said code of source, and debug things remotely.

Inspecting web traffic covers SSL / TLS and HTTP. SSL is Secure Sockets Layer and TLS is Transport Layer Security. These are literally just protocols (rules! internet rules that really smart people spent a lot of time figuring out) that encrypts traffic (mixes and chops and surrounds your communication, to keep it safe and secure). HTTP is the hypertext transfer protocol, which is another set of rules that figures out how information is going to travel between devices, like computers, web servers, phones, etc.

But do you always follow the rules? Exactly. Even by accident, a lot can fall through the cracks or go wrong. Being able to see *exactly* what's happening is pivotal in *taking advantage* of what's not dotting the i's and crossing the t's.

Possibly the most famous tool for web hacking, and the obvious choice for inspecting web traffic, is Burp Suite. It gathers info, can pause in the middle of talking to websites and connections that usually happen behind the scenes in milliseconds, like manipulating HTTP requests. You can easily compare changes, decode, the list goes on.

Decompiling source code is the one where you could find a million things that all do very specific things. For example dnSpy can debug and edit .NET assemblies, like .exe or .dll files that usually *run*, and don't get cracked open and checked inside. At least not by a normal user. .NET binaries are easier to convert back to something readable because it uses runtime compiling, rather than compiling during assembly. All you have to do is de-compile. It's the difference between figuring out what's in a salad and what's in a baked loaf of bread. One's pretty easy to de-compile. The other, you'd probably not be able to guess, unless you already knew, that there are eggs in it! dnSpy decompiles assemblies so you can edit code, explore, and you can even add more features via dnSpy plugins.

Another type of code objects useful to analyze are Java ARchive or JAR files. Another decompiler that's good for JAR files is JD-GUI, which lets you inspect source code and Java class files so you can figure out how things work.

Analyzing source code is another act that can come with a lot of options. Data enters an application through a source. It's then used or it acts on its own in a 'sink'. We can either start at the sink (bottom-up approach) or with the sources (top-down approach). We could do a hybrid of these or even automate code analysis to snag low-hanging fruit and really balance between time, effort and quality. But when you have to just *look* at something with your *eyes*, most people choose VSCode. VSCode can download an incredible amount of plug ins, like remote ssh or kubernetes, it can push and pull to gitlab, examine hundreds of files with ease, search, search and replace... I could go on!

Last need is remote debugging, which really shows what an application is doing during runtime (when it's running!). Debugging can go step-by-step through huge amalgamations using breakpoints, which can continue through steps, step over a step, step INTO a step (because that step has a huge amalgamation of steps inside of it too, of course it does!), step out of that step, restart from the beginning or from a breakpoint, stop, or hot code replace. And the best part? VSCode does this too!

Remote debugging lets us debug a running process. All we need is access to the source code and debugger port on whatever remote system we happen to be working in.

Easy, right? Only a few tools and all the time in the world... WEB-300 was mostly whitebox application security, research, and learning chained attack methods. For example, you'd do three or seven steps, which incorporate two or four attacks, rather than just one. It's more realistic, as just one attack usually isn't enough to fell a giant. And here there be giants. Worry not: we've got some slingshots now.

The next step is seeing if we can get them to work!

White Hat vs. Black Hat Hacking: More Than Just a Color Code 🎩🖤

Hacking isn’t all hoodies and neon code—there’s a spectrum of intent and methodology. In 2025, understanding the difference between white hat and black hat hacking is critical for anyone diving into cybersecurity or ethical hacking. Here’s the breakdown:

1. White Hat Hackers (Ethical Heroes) 🕵️‍♂️

Primary Goal: Improve security by finding and fixing vulnerabilities.

Permission: Always operate with explicit authorization from the system owner.

Tools & Techniques: Penetration testing, vulnerability scanning, secure code reviews.

Outcome: Patches applied, systems hardened, organizations protected.

Career Path: Security consultant, penetration tester, bug bounty hunter.

2. Black Hat Hackers (The “Bad Guys”) 🦹‍♂️

Primary Goal: Exploit weaknesses for personal gain or sabotage.

Permission: None—illegal access and activities.

Tools & Techniques: Malware deployment, ransomware, phishing campaigns, data breaches.

Outcome: Stolen data, financial loss, reputational damage.

Risk & Consequences: Criminal charges, fines, and imprisonment.

3. Grey Hat Hackers (The Ambiguous Middle) ⚪⚫

Intent: Mix of white and black hat motivations—might expose flaws without permission, then recommend fixes (often for a fee).

Ethical Standing: Legality is murky—actions can be illegal despite good intentions.

Use Cases: Corporate security audits without full authorization, “friendly” vulnerability disclosures.

4. Key Differences That Matter

AspectWhite HatBlack HatGrey HatAuthorizationExplicit, legalNone, criminalOften unauthorized, but sometimes reportedIntentImprove securityPersonal gain or disruptionMixed—ethical curiosity vs. profitOutcomeSafer systemsData theft, damageFlaws revealed, but potential legal riskReputationRespected professionalCriminalControversial

5. Why It’s More Than a Color Code

Ethics & Legality: White hats follow a strict code of conduct; black hats violate laws.

Trust & Career: Ethical hacking roles require certifications (CEH, OSCP) and proven track records.

Impact on Cybersecurity: White hats help organizations stay one step ahead of black hats, closing loopholes before they’re exploited.

6. Becoming a White Hat Hacker

Learn the Fundamentals: Networking, system administration, and scripting.

Master Security Tools: Kali Linux, Metasploit, Burp Suite, Wireshark.

Get Certified: CEH, CompTIA Security+, OSCP.

Build Experience: Participate in bug bounties, CTF challenges, and open-source security projects.

Final Thoughts

White hat and black hat hacking represent two sides of the same coin—one defends, the other attacks. As cyber threats grow in complexity, the role of ethical hackers becomes more vital. Choose your “hat” wisely: white hat hacking isn’t just a career choice; it’s a commitment to protecting our digital world.
