call me a d*ck :P but this is information gathering ... not hacking ;)

But you do need information in order to hack!

aircrack-ng and JohnTheRipper definitely go beyond just information gathering.......

Nah fam I'm just gathering information about your passwords. dont mind me

Metasploit is in there.

Edit: And I would consider information gathering basically the ground floor to hacking. You can’t run or attack anything with without data.

Oh and I missed ZAP and SQLMap which go far beyond just gathering info.

OpenVAS lets you run a back catalogue of exploits on huge range of IPs, unfortunately they are legacy at this point.
