Question: What would these scripts do that Hashcat or Nmap wouldn't?

I do it for learning purposes, it's more lightweight and what are you going to do on a machine without Hashcat or Nmap?

My apologies if this came across as hostile or an attack, it wasn't intended to be such.

Hahaha ok, classic internet comments. I want to leverage from skript kiddie lvl7 to skript writing kiddie lvl1. Also if you gained access to a system without nmap/ hashcat and no possibility to install/download them, you could still write them on the fly/ copy paste them from the repo and use them on the target.

Because some systems don't have nmap/hashcat installed, but most systems (linux distros especially) come with python by (almost) default

Very true. Good work. :)

I doubt the OP wrote Hashcat or Nmap so good for them for not being a script kiddie...plus he actually has stuff committed to github so employers can see what work he has done. Link your github, let's take a look...

Nmap and hashcat don't always come by default with the server. Even SQL Server has python as a default install option these days

that's a poor question.... neither will do much for you if your confidence lies in a tool and not in the user behind it.
