# Essential Tools

Core tools, methodology, and reporting standards for penetration testing.

## Components

| Component | Purpose |
|-----------|---------|
| **Burp Suite** | Proxy, scanner, intruder, repeater, sequencer |
| **Playwright** | Browser automation, evidence capture, SPA testing |
| **Binary Analysis** | Static analysis, reverse engineering, string extraction |
| **Nuclei** | Templated exposure & misconfiguration scanning |
| **sslscan** | TLS posture (protocols, ciphers, cert) |
| **Methodology** | PTES, OWASP WSTG, attack prioritization |
