Certified Ethical Hackers (CEH) use a wide range of advanced tools to identify vulnerabilities and strengthen security systems. Popular tools include Nmap for network scanning, Metasploit for penetration testing, and Wireshark for traffic analysis. Ethical hackers also rely on Burp Suite for web application security testing and John the Ripper for password cracking. These tools help CEH professionals simulate real-world cyberattacks and enhance an organization’s defense mechanisms.

Pen Testing vs. Red Teaming What’s the difference and which is right for your organization? Penetration Testing and Red Teaming is critical for building a resilient security strategy. Pen Testing = Focused, controlled attack simulations Red Teaming = Real-world, adversarial attack emulation Both identify vulnerabilities and strengthen your defenses. Your choice should align with your organization's maturity, risk tolerance, and strategic goals. 📌 Pro tip: Consider combining both for layered protection.
