Sometimes you might write
your own tools.
But it's better to do it because you want to,
not because you have to.
Here's why 428 infosec specialists do it*:
FINDOUTTHETOP3REASONS
*Spoiler: it's not about the $$$!
#3 - I want to understand the
process (28% of votes)
We get it.
Sometimes you have to build from scratch or reverse
engineer a tool to make sense of how it works.
But doing this for every tool you use isn't scalable. It
also adds extra maintenance work to your schedule.
That's why we build, integrate, and maintain ready-to-
use scanning engines for you, so you have more time to
learn while also shipping better, more rewarding work.
But what if you could get the particular findings
you need without writing your own tools?
#2 - I need very specific results
(32% of votes)
On Pentest-Tools.com
you can combine tools
and filters to get specific
results and zoom into
particular risks and
vulnerabilities:
Combine these filters to get:
Fresh findings for a target: SCAN DATE + TARGET
High-risk findings for a target: TARGET + RISK LEVEL
Fixed issues for a target: STATUS + TARGET
Top tip: You can automatically export reports for all these
combinations straight from your Findings!
#1 - I need control /
customization (34% of votes)
Scan templates (name + description + tools)
A finding's status and risk level
The (pre-filled) executive summary in your reports
Here are at least 5 things you can
customize on Pentest-Tools.com:
Port ranges for scans with Network Scan OpenVAS
Sections + logo in your (auto-generated) report
Just one of the options that can make your life easier and
save you the work of writing (and maintaining) your own tools!
Make writing your own tools an exception,
not your day to day.
There's a lot more customization potential where that came from!
