Penetration testing is a method through which one can find vulnerabilities in systems & networks and take preventive measures to protect the systems, networks and web applications. Penetration testing should be conducted regularly to identify loop holes, risks in the system and maintain them to accomplish high security level. There are various methods to perform penetration testing. This paper gives an overview of different penetration open source tools available in Kali Linux. The step by step use of each penetration testing tools, tools analysis and comparison based on utility and portability are also discussed in the paper. The study is useful for learning the various tools available freely to secure systems and networks and web applications.
