An important note on the tools in this chapter
Most of the tools in this chapter are adversary emulation tools, meaning that they are designed to perform activities similar to those of a real attacker. As such, be mindful of the systems and networks on which you are running the tools as if not used properly, you could impact systems accidentally. They should also be used after a proper review of the documentation and at the user’s own risk.
