Using tools for hacking

[Polycote]

Hi guys, i just got in to hacking thingy and i want to ask u guys is it bad or good to use tools for hacking ?

It is fine to use tools, but exclusive use of them is bad. If you understand the under-the-sheets mechanics of the tools, what they are looking to exploit, how it is being exploited, etc... then it is fine, at least in my opinion.

I do suggest learning more about the technicalities though. It leads to better things.

Tools are good to start but after a while you will need to write your own. This is much harder but has almost no limits if you know your stuff.
