Editing Penetration test (section)

=== Hardware tools ===
There are hardware tools specifically designed for penetration testing. However, not all hardware tools used in penetration testing are purpose-built for this task. Some devices, such as measuring and debugging equipment, are repurposed for penetration testing due to their advanced functionality and versatile capabilities.

* [[Proxmark3]] — multi-purpose hardware tool for radio-frequency identification (RFID) security analysis.

* [[BadUSB]] — toolset for exploiting vulnerabilities in USB devices to inject malicious keystrokes or payloads.
* [[Flipper Zero]] —  portable, open-source multi-functional device pentesting wireless protocols such as Sub-GHz, RFID, NFC, Infrared and Bluetooth.
* [[Raspberry Pi]] — a compact, versatile single-board computer commonly used in penetration testing for tasks like network reconnaissance and exploitation.
* [[Software-defined radio|SDR (Software-defined Radio)]]— versatile tool for analyzing and attacking radio communications and protocols, including intercepting, emulating, decoding, and transmitting signals.
* ChipWhisperer — specialized hardware tool for side-channel attacks, allowing analysis of cryptographic implementations and vulnerabilities through power consumption or electromagnetic emissions.
