What tools would you reccomend for kali linux hacking?

Hello. I'm new to hacking and I need tools to do some hacking. I would prefer it to be begginer friendly if possible. Any reccomendations?
There are tools for web hacking, system hacking, network hacking, email hacking, there are not "beginner hacking" tools, the tools depend of what you want to hack.

Besides, depending on what you want to hack, you may need additional knowledge such as network (ip, protocols, ports, and so on).

You should start on tryhackme, they have very beginner paths
I second the tryhackme, very useful.
Kali comes with a bunch of tools for hacking but it's better to learn the basics of 'hacking' then learn how to use the tools in kali.
There are millions of tools for different jobs. Some of them free, some of them not.

For example notepad or powershell can be useful tools if you know how to use them.

Check Tryhackme and hacktobox or similar learning and practicing platforms.

thank you!! really handy
As someone whose fairly new to hacking, Ive personally found stuff like Kali and parrot, have to much.
They do come with a load of good tools installed but I haven't found them all needed at least at my current level.
So far I've only used
Wireshark
Ettercap
Nmap
Sqlmap
Osint toolbox
Burp suite (on my windows host machine)

Then the other tools I've used were hack specific.
Look under applications and you will see that the tools are in their own separate category.
