Collection of software application icons including Adobe, Firefox, and Microsoft Office, surrounded by a stack of books.

When i went to class today, a good friend asked me a question. He wanted to know what the best hacking software was to basically do everything. What i told him was this: Well there isn't an "Ultimate" tool boot there are a number of tools which deserve a "Medal." So what i'm trying to say here... What are some of the best hacking tools available right now? For starters i created a list with some of the tools.

nmap Amazing scanner
SuperScan TCP port scanner, pinger and resolver
Cain & Abel Password cracking
John The ripper Also a password cracker
fsCrack Basically the same as Jtr but has an GUI
Nessus security scanner A vulnerability scanner
Wireshark Packet sniffer
Live Bulk mailer Email flooder/spammer
Website digger information gathering
PuTTY Telnet + SSH client
Metasploit Exploit/vulnerability scanner/creator
Aircrack-NG Wireless cracking tools

Note: This list isn't in order

What is software that you define as a must need for every hacker? Just comment your thoughts! :-)
