Attacker toolkit

Many attackers use toolkits (attacker toolkit) containing several different types of utilities and scripts that can be used to probe and attack systems. Once a system has been compromised through malware or other means, an attacker might download and install a toolkit on the system. The toolkit can then be used to further compromise the system on which it has been installed, or to attack other systems. Types of programs typically found in an attacker toolkit include:


 * Packet sniffer


 * Port scanner


 * Vulnerability scanner


 * Password cracker


 * Remote login program
