Creating a full Python tool that incorporates all of the ideas listed above is a
massive task, but I can guide you on how to design and structure the script as a
modular tool. A proper tool would require significant development time and
attention to security, stability, and maintainability. For educational purposes,
I'll provide you with a high-level approach that includes basic skeleton code for
each tool integrated into a central framework. You can expand upon each module.

Here's an outline of how to organize such a project:

How to Expand and Use the Code:
Modularization: Each tool is self-contained within its own script. This makes it
easier to update or modify individual tools as needed.
Integration: The main.py file serves as the main entry point. Users can select the
tool they want to use and the corresponding module is executed.
Extend Functionality: You can add more features, e.g., database integration for
vulnerability management, advanced malware analysis, or integrating third-party
services like VirusTotal for file analysis.
Dependencies: Some tools may require external libraries (like requests, hashlib,
subprocess, etc.). You can install them via pip.
Example Usage:
Run the Tool:
bash
Kodu kopyala
python main.py
Choose an Option: For example, select option 1 for "Vulnerability Scanner" and
provide the target URL.
Conclusion:
This is a basic framework that provides a modular approach to ethical hacking
tools. Each tool can be expanded upon with more sophisticated techniques, real-time
attack simulations, or integration with other cybersecurity tools like Metasploit
or Burp Suite. Just remember that you must always conduct ethical hacking
activities in authorized environments and follow the law.
