    It is easy to use with sufficient documentation on how to use the tools for end users or newbies. Experienced testers will find it easy to customise and configure the test cases. Just wished that I could have taken up a course on using this tool in my study days so that I could had explored more and improved my familiarity with the tool, unlike when working where access and time to explore the other features of the tool is limited

    Metasploit is the most well-known tool in the average pen tester's toolkit. It's hard to compare to its neighbor's due to its size and following.

    Screenshot of a scan of repositories that detects all Free and Open Source Software (FOSS) from complete components, packages, and libraries to small snippets of open source.Screenshot of a Software Bill of Materials (SBOMs). FossID Workbench can automatically export and import Software Package Data Exchange (SPDX) reports containing license text, copyright statements, vulnerabilities and even snippet level information.Screenshot of a presentation of license-related risks in software that helps to remain compliant. Workbench detects over 2000 different licenses encountered overed years of open source auditing from strong/weak copyleft to the most obscure source-available and non-commercial licenses. Workbench helps users to understand all license related risks that could affect your products and services.Screenshot of Workbench’s comprehensive policy management that can prevent usage of strong/weak copyleft or source-available software licenses in products and services.Screenshot of VulnSnippet Finder: Snippet detection for vulnerable open source snippets. FossID’s Knowledge Base snippet detection capabilities include special detection of vulnerable open source snippets. While most security scanners assume open source vulnerabilities based on component and version, VulnSnippet Finder bases its search on the exact lines of code/snippets that make software vulnerable.
